Pretty much. With the United States pretty much qualifying through the World Series nothing is really stopping Canada from winning the quota at the RAN Sevens.

Not a good event for already down into the Shield where the best they can finish is 13th. They can potentially fall out of Olympic qualification position if or perform well enough here. Of course with four more stops the fight for the Olympic quota is far from over.

Any word on which events McIntosh will compete in at the Olympics?

I guess the biggest question mark from an individual event perspective is whether or not she will compete in the 200m free as the final overlaps with the 400 IM final. Five individual events would be very hard to compete, but if any swimmer is to pull it off in 2024 it would be her.

The 4x200m free overlaps with the 200m fly final, but it's hard to think she would miss the final. Another question is whether she competes in the 4x100m free which overlaps with the 400m free event. Losing Sanchez hurts our depth, but we may still be good enough to medal.

is in the Olympics. can join them if they win the title and the winner of finishes 6th.

Nice to see Oksana still winning World Cup medals. I hope she continues into her 50s where she could be the same age as some of her competitor's grandma

The men lost out in the tie-breaker and will compete in the bowl

The quarterfinals are now set for the Canada Sevens held in Vancouver.

New Zealand, Australia and the United States could potentially qualify to the Olympics by the end of this event. New Zealand just needs to avoid Great Britain or Fiji finishing four points ahead of them while Australia/United States can qualify if they get nine more points than Great Britain and Fiji

A few other athletes have entry times close to the OQT. Will they be among the first to qualify to the Olympics? Results can be seen here.

As for the other event, MM Maribor, start lists haven't been posted yet. The event page can be found here.

6th, 7th and 10th finishers also got MER.

Thanks, I've updated the original post. I misread the jumping penalties.

Didn't 10th fail because they got more than 16 jumping penalties?

I remember that for the 2020 Olympics, the approved events for the 2019 Worlds were also approved events for the Olympics (provided they occurred during the qualification period), but I can't find if that's true for the 2024 Olympics.

I guess we'll find out rather quickly if athletes from the Pro Swim Series in Fort Lauderdale appear on the Olympic qualification list.

have qualified their first athletes. They will compete in Equestrian (Team Jumping)

Congrats to both nations.

It's not over for Egypt, they can still qualify via the Nations Cup which will be depleted of eligible nations. A very possible scenario could have Egypt facing just Argentina and Uzbekistan for the final quota.

Yeah, at this stage I'm hoping at least three Oceania nations make the top 4, more so I just want Samoa to finally make the Olympics. Europe is in the odd position of having good depth, but not having the top teams which hurts it in this qualification method.

New Zealand extends its lead over the field. They can now afford a poor performance and still maintain an overall lead. Argentina finishing second moves them up to an Olympic qualification position while South Africa was swallowed by the pack. The United States had a terrible performance which hurt its chances at qualifying to the Olympics. There's still time for both them and Ireland to make a move, but it's unlikely they can afford another bowl (or worse) appearance.

In terms of the fight to avoid regulation, Great Britain has solidified safe passage to next season. Spain has cut into Uruguay's lead for the last guaranteed spot.

The World Series returns next week in Vancouver.

What a choke by Argentina. If they figure things out they still have another chance at qualifying to the Olympics, but things will be a lot harder.

I think has given up against . They need one of to lose if they want to qualify now. Given how back and forth Brazil and Puerto Rico are going against their opponents it might happen.

At half-time among the Pan American nations the current odd nation out is , but it's far from over.
