I counted Hausding under 3m since he's competing there individually. I guess things are fine

True, but that was because one athlete competed in both events. IIRC 34 athletes still competed in the women's platform while here we only have 33 competing in the men's platform

Even if you give South Korea's quota to the 10m the men's 3m has one more quota than it should have had.

Puerto Rico did really well against Serbia, did Serbia rest some of its players towards the end?

But they didn't say when they will do it ;). If China, Germany, Netherlands and Sweden can all submit their final teams (and Hungary, if anyone new qualified on top of their 29 announced) we can probably start constructing it ourselves.

The deadline for all entries is July 18th so they have lots of time I imagine (hope) that they have at least told the federations about the wild cards.

I wouldn't hold your breath, FINA hasn't even released the qualified athlete list for diving. I'm hoping we'll get it over the next two weeks.

The full United States roster can be found here (47 athletes in total)

This is getting ridiculous, haven't the NOCs accepted the quotas already? You'd think they'd confirm with the athletes to make sure they want to compete.

Big loss, but Jamaica will probably hold his spot all the way until the end if needed.

Yeah, New Zealand is quite hypocritical about their standards

She just missed the rankings, she was ranked 77th at the cut-off and 72nd was the last normally ranked athlete to qualify. She's currently third in line as replacement (not sure if the two ahead of her have fulfilled the Fed Cup requirements though).

Pospisil and Raonic partnered up and Nestor didn't reach the top 10 so he no way to qualify.

By my count we have 193 athletes competing when the max was suppose to be 172. I guess that's what happens when the IOC forces you to reallocate the ITF Places to the next highest ranked athletes. A more realistic quota distribution would have been 192 athletes.

Some stats about the singles entries. The athletes which received a FP in the men's singles got it through reallocation, essentially being the next highest ranked athletes. On the women's side three of them actually went to intended athletes; Brazil's Teliana Pereira (hosts), Tunisia's Ons Jabeur (continental) and Italy's Francesca Schiavone (former GS champ). Also several athlete qualified through protected rankings; Argentina's Juan Monaco and Juan Martin del Potro, Australia's Jordan Thompson and Thanasi Kokkinakis, Chinese Taipei's Lu Yen-Hsun, Poland's Jerzy Janowicz and United States' Brian Baker. On the women's side; China's Peng Shuai, Italy's Karin Knapp and Kazakhstan's Galina Voskoboeva used protected rankings to qualify.

Maybe he doesn't want to go? It looks like he's done his Davis Cup requirements so he's eligible.

Update (Remove) Women's Events (Weightlifting)

Disease is always something to worry about, there are always risks, not just from Zika, but other diseases such as yellow fever. Also while the top nations may not say it, golf is far from worldwide, just look at the top 100. 45 are from the United States and 15 are from Great Britain (England/Wales/Scotland), there's a reason why we have to go to almost world ranking #350 just to fill out the roster. Golf at the Olympics wasn't about the already established nations it was about getting other nations into the sport.

Denmark's Olympic Swimming Team Jeanette Ottesen (Vejle Svømmeklub Triton/NTC) Rikke Møller Pedersen (Holbæk Svømmeklub/NTC) Lotte Friis (Gentofte Svømmeklub/USA) Mie Ø. Nielsen (Aalborg Svømmeklub) Pernille Blume (Gladsaxe Swim/NTC) Sarah Bro (Gentofte Svømmeklub/NTC) Julie Kepp Jensen (JGI/A6) Viktor Bromer (Aalborg Svømmeklub) Anton Ørskov Ipsen (Sigma Swim Birkerød/USA) Mads Glæsner (Sigma Swim Allerød/USA) Pál Joensen (Aalborg Svømmeklub/NTC) Anders Lie Nielsen (Farum Svømmeklub/USA) Daniel Skaaning (STT-VAT/NTC) Søren Dahl (Herlev Swim/USA) Magnus Westermann (Herlev Swim/NTC) Link Don't forget other nations are also naming their teams.

That's why I expected the US to be the first nation to withdraw.

Tennis had the same problem in 1988. The only difference is that golf will only have one more chance to get it right while tennis got to wait until the old generation to move out

I wonder what their excuse would have been if Zika wasn't an issue. It's hard to paint everyone with the same brush, but the fact no women have withdrawn due to the virus paints a telling picture. At least golfers from the US and Great Britain have remained (so far).

At the bottom of the documents they said it is not finalized due to legal process. This is likely from athletes appealing IWF's decision, but could also mean BLR/KAZ/RUS could be removed.

IWF has updated the World Championship Rankings (subject to the appealing process). Quota Differences Men Japan +3 Thailand +1 France +1 Moldova -1 Azerbaijan -4 (technically -3 since they already lost one) Women Ukraine +1 Belarus -1 With Japan qualifying their continental quota goes to Saudi Arabia. Note I have not retroactively removed suspended athletes which competed in the continental championships so the quotas may be different. For Azerbaijan they did not qualify through the European qualifiers (and did not change which nations qualified), but they did qualify through the individual rankings (-94kg, 12th place) which they will then proceed to lose due to IWF's sanction.

Costa Rica is up 2-1 against Mexico in the women's finals (NORCECA is a 5 match series)
