That's because Brazil took the Pan America quota for being the host nation. Canada will likely miss the Olympics unless they have a great performance tomorrow to finish above Italy.

I'm a big fan of the Vanuatu team. I hope they can reach the Olympics, but unless they get a couple of great results it looks like they will finish just outside of a spot. The continental cup will be their best chance though they'll have to get past Australia and China.

After the technical routine both Ukraine and Japan look safe. Italy is currently in third place with Canada and Spain behind about 0.5 and 0.8 behind respectively.

Very nice for Canada, hopefully we can get a couple of men either in this tournament or the final tournaments.

This thread will keep track of NOCs not yet qualified and suggest sports and events in which they could qualify their first athletes. Tripartite athletes do not count, but the nations will be noted if they do have one. If someone has a suggestion don't hesitate to say so. I am quite lenient so unlikely is okay, impossible is not.

No, Ireland qualified one in women's keirin

Two for keirin and sprint, one for omnium

It doesn't look like it based on the wording of the qualification document.

We will qualify in the keirin. The omnium doesn't look likely though

The document says men get 3 while the women get 2. There's a quota difference in the Omnium too (6 for men and 5 for women)

Japan has been getting weaker lately, as in they are no long a tier above the other Asian teams, plus Asia is pretty strong in women's football. It is almost sad that the continent only gets two spots. Australia only need 1 more point to qualify. The second spot will be between China and North Korea

Congrats to Trinidad and Tobago. Too bad for Suriname, but he needed Colombia to win the team quota to have any chance. Also the Americans only get 2 Women's Keirin spots

Yes, the teams that will join you will be known after the team competition. Basically you'll want Europe and Canada to win the three quotas to have the best chance (though Japan will likely grab one of the quotas)

If I understand this correctly you have qualified for the second free routine

Can anyone confirm about the qualification of duets. If I am reading this correctly we will have our 20 duets known after the first free routine and then the eight which missed a spot will compete in a second free routine in order to get the final 4 spots. That's how it is worded in the FINA bulletin for this event, but the qualification page doesn't speak to this two tier qualification.

Seven nations Canada, Chile, France, Italy, Japan, Spain and Ukraine
