Correct, they will only be allowed to compete in the K1

Good day for Africa. Assuming no nation makes it to round 2, the fight for the Olympic quota will be interesting. It may come down to the v match. also has a good chance if it can defeat . unfortunately has blocking it from winning the group while has tough matches against and likely .

Outside of rugby sevens this is the best chance for a non-Australia/New Zealand nation to qualify in a team sport. It's something like 1% (or New Zealand fielding an ineligible player), but there's a chance.

There's a few ways, though the most common would be through the world rankings

Group A is now a mess going into the final game. needs to avoid losing by more than 10 points against to qualify unless defeats then it doesn't matter. just needs a victory against to advance. They can also advance with a loss if beats and Italy doesn't lose by more than 13 points needs to win by 10 points against to be guaranteed to reach the next round, though just a win would be enough should defeat . A loss eliminates them. needs to defeat by at least 13 points and must defeat While they aren't in favourable positions, should or advance they will be the favourites to grab the Olympic quotas.

What a game for

Yes, but they must use a different athlete to obtain the quota

Pretty much. In the men's kayak, Canada has four athletes to use in events. They must participate in the K4, but can participate in the K1 and K2 boats.

At least we won both B-Finals so we can say we didn't benefit from the continental requirement this time

Obviously on paper we have a great team, but this wouldn't be the first time where the team should easily win loses.

Big statement match from Canada. It also increases our chances at making the quarterfinals assuming we don't get overconfident.

It could still go to . The have won it in the last 4/5 Olympics. It's the type of quota that goes under the radar since most nations would rather apply to other events.

Here's how the tripartite eligible athletes performed: - 78.400 - 78.100 - 73.300 - 72.850 - 71.350 - 71.000 The quota is by application, but if multiple nations apply they will take previous results into account.

has qualified their first athlete in women's rhythmic gymnastics individual all-around The last of the larger nations has qualified!

I'd still argue that they are more likely to qualify. At the very least Austria could make the argument for more funding by finishing in the top 10.

They probably think they have a better chance at qualifying in eights given the number of entries.

Unused host and tripartite quotas, and declined quotas will be reallocated via the rankings. Declined continental quotas will be kept within the continent if possible

ISSF changed the rules again.

I believe the jumper would have to make it into the sand pit for the jump to count.

Good thing we have shotgun to make it appear China doesn't completely dominate the sport.

Another good size nation qualified. All that remains (besides Belarus and Russia) is Uzbekistan. After that the next biggest unqualified nations include with 25-30 chances each.

So it looks like both Australia and New Zealand qualified in Men's iQFoil, Men's ILCA 7 and Women's 49erFX so big opportunity for Pacific nations. Of course it's more likely the Oceania quotas will be reallocated in the iQFoil and 49erFX

Always nice to see a medal in a sport we aren't strong in, even if it's a non-Olympic event.

In the past you are correct, but for 2024 they introduced a rule where all qualifiers needed to have participated in the final, likely to increase the importance of world rankings. That has since been (thankfully) reversed

So any Pacific Nations wanting to attempt the women's 49erFX in order to get a free quota?
