For people keeping track, we are missing Aquatics (Artistic Swimming, Diving, Open Water, Swimming, Water Polo) Athletics Canoeing (Slalom, Sprint) Cycling (BMX Freestyle, BMX Race, Road, Track) Equestrian (Dressage, Eventing, Jumping) Football Sailing Surfing Table Tennis Tennis In terms of direct qualifiers, equestrian and football will definitely have 2022 qualifiers while sailing may also use their 2022 world champs. The 2022 Asian Games may have qualifiers in these sports too (sailing? tennis?)

Surfing kind of lucked out, Japan, France, the United States and Australia are all big surfing nations (heck, even Brazil would have been a great spot in 2016). I agree surfing is a bit lacking in terms of competitive nations, but due to favourable hosts the sport has essentially 10 more years to develop. Accessible also doesn't need to mean all nations can take part or else you can argue that sailing should be removed. If the ISA can push for the development in the Africa, Central America, the Caribbean and the Pacific, it could remain long term.

FIFA is always pretty bad about publishing the qualification document. The men's and women's CONCACAF and women's CONMEBOL qualifiers will happen in the coming months. Everything else is dated for 2023/2024 so I am not worrying too much about them just yet. Note for women's CONCACAF the winner will qualify directly while second and third place will play a play-off match in 2023.

It's true though, modern pentathlon has an accessibility problem and that will likely cause it to be removed from the Olympics. Sports aren't entitled to be in the Olympics. Throw in the fact that the governance is going the way of boxing/weightlifting in terms of transparency and the sport is looking less viable by the day.

Yeah the IOC wants the UIPM to modernize and become more accessible, no where does it state they want them to remove jumping specifically. With that said, removing jumping would make the sport more accessible for athletes. I personally would like a more continuous event, sort of like triathlon. Start with fencing to get a staggered time, change jumping to cross-country riding, after finishing, riders dismount and head straight to the pool and then finish off with running/shooting.

For equestrian at least, they'll need to publish soon since the first direct qualifying event is suppose to be the 2022 World Championships. The IOC made it a big deal for the sport federations to be open and transparent. I guess we'll see...

I'm not sure modern pentathletes will get the response they want from the IOC. I'm pretty sure it was the IOC who told the federation to modernize and become more accessible or risk being dropped from the program.

I disagree that the Commonwealth and Olympic sports program should be aligned. There are Olympic sports that just aren't well played in the Commonwealth. In a time where they are trying to cut costs, do you really think hosting fencing or handball events is a good idea. On the flip side, while netball has no business at the Olympics, it is almost exclusively played by Commonwealth nations.

Here's Mountain Biking The other cycling disciplines are not on the IOC website (funny enough the date listed for mountain biking is for tomorrow so maybe they'll show up then). Overall, a reduction of two athletes per event. Nations can now only qualify a maximum of 2 athletes and this time there will be a tripartite quota available.
