The IOC will find someone to run the 100m if it comes down to it. They are pretty big on ensuring participation for all nations. The other option is for the tripartite committee to give one of the taekwondo quotas (women's -49kg or -57kg) to Somalia. With that said, taekwondo quotas are quite competitive, but their hand might be forced (kind of like with Liechtenstein).

I mean it was quite clear that Kharun wanted to swim for the United States, but the whole citizenship issue forced his hand. Three years is a long time waiting for a change though so he might reconsider.

Kim Minseop might be the logical choice out of the options listed

She might not win gold, but a medal is quite possible. She's currently 3rd in the rankings

Here is the selection criteria As per World Aquatics, Canada can nominate a maximum of 26 male and 26 female athletes. Priority 1: Finish in the top 2 and achieve the OQT at the event. Priority 2: Finish in the top 4 in the 100m and 200m freestyle events to compete in the relays. Priority 3: Winners of the 100m backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly to compete in the relays. Priority 4: Additional 100m and 200m freestyle or 100m medley athletes to compete in the relays (based on director's recommendation) Priority 5: Swimmers who have achieved the OQT during the qualification period (March 1, 2023 - June 23, 2024) and finished in the top 2 Priority 6: Swimmers who have achieved the OCT during the qualification period, won the event and finished within 1% if their fastest time will be provisionally nominated pending World Aquatics invitation.

has qualified in men's -61kg weightlifting.

Excuse me, we club our baby seals, not shoot them

Has the IOC endorsed a new federation yet?

4th - Felipe Wu 6th - Caio De Almeida

- 2nd - 1st Chile with the quota. United States still with no men's 10m air pistol

- 3rd v for the quota. Chile with a huge lead though.

- 4th

- 5th remain for the quota battle (+ for the overall title)

- 6th

- 7th

- 8th

Nations eligible for the men's 10m air pistol quota. already has the quota.

I'm impressed Oceania was able to make every single event eligible for a quota. Australia did need to enlist some help from refugees in the women's -49kg though.

That's what I mean, athletes/nations can apply for an exception which included travel bans. North Korea effectively banned their athletes from traveling until the Asian Games so they could argue that they should be given an exception. The IWF may not accept it since the rule was in place in cases where the host nation prevented a traveling nation from entering rather than a self-imposed restriction.

Does anyone know if got a travel restriction exception and thus could compete at the Olympics? Seems weird that they are sending a big team if they aren't going to compete at the Olympics?

Like many nations, Canada won't use all of its relay-only quotas. I also doubt we would go that far down our depth in the men's 4x100m free relay to select Calkins and Sauve. It'll be top 4-6 for the free relays and top 1-2 for the medley relays.

Yeah, the only comparisons would be in archery and dressage/jumping equestrian.

I think you've made it quite clear that if you take part in a pro-war rally you aren't going to be excluded from the Olympics

I imagine the United States will clean up many of their missing quotas. The good news is that they aren't eligible for the women's rifle 3 position, air rifle and air pistol events so at least other nations will win too.

Unfortunately we lost in all three finals. didn't participate though.
