So back to handball... Close match, but Hungary seems to have the advantage so far.

So close for , standing up to strong European teams is no easy feat. v should be a good match.

Technically they don't have to fast because they fall under the travelers exception (assuming they are away from their home for more than 5 days). Granted many athletes still fast.

Israel is qualified in the ILCA6. Here's the official list of qualified nations

Clearly Ghana picked correct for its host sport

Men's recurve finals Matheson vs. McLean was down 0-4, came back to tie it 4-4, but lost the fifth set. Could have been an interesting final given that the top seed also lost.

Women's recurve finals Edmundson vs. Harrison

Women's recurve semifinals Edmundson vs. Prasad Walter vs. Harrison

Men's recurve semifinals Ryan vs. Matheson Jensen vs. McLean

It's nothing about Argentina choice. The rules say the highest ranked boats get the quota, only when there is a tie the nation gets to choose. Argentina finished 3rd in W1x while the lightweight boats finished in the top 2.

The quotas go to the following nations: M1x - LM2x - W1x - LW2x -

Ranking round is over. are the top 3 in the men's recurve. are the top 3 in the women's recurve. Unsurprisingly, New Zealand has a huge lead over the Pacific Nations

"Eritrea at the 2024 Summer Olympics" Due to some fighting between users the page was under draft for months despite many other nations being allowed to have a page.

Looks like has been granted a Wikipedia page

Due to the constraints, The United States is forced to play the OQT Puerto Rico winner (Lithuania/Italy/Puerto Rico)

So due to the continent limit, Germany will be drawn with Canada or Japan or potentially both. If it ends up being both then we are all forced to play Australia. Also while they say both the United States and France will be drawn into Group B or C, they didn't explicitly say they had to be separated.

Here are the relevant A and B Finals for the events: M1x Final A - Final B - LM2x Final A - W1x Final A - Final B - LW2x Final A - Brazil still has all four boats in the A finals while Argentina, Chile, Paraguay and Peru have three boats in A finals. There's a good chance Chile will qualify in one of the lightweight boats which means the men's single sculls might be decided before the race is even held. Likewise, Argentina winning both lightweight boat quotas is possible which means the women's single sculls quota would be decided. The B final in the single sculls might become a factor, but that requires Brazil (or Paraguay/Peru) to qualify in at least one lightweight boat, but right now they are favoured to qualify in the single sculls. Bermuda making the A Final has placed them in a very good position to qualify to the Olympics.

The refugee team should have the same restrictions as the other nations, two men and two women attempting to qualify overall (I'm okay with them competing in the continent they are currently living in). The European qualifier had three men and two women while the Asian qualifier has four men competing. Adding the restriction would at least decrease the chance of someone trying to use this as a loophole to compete at the Olympics.

Entries for the Oceania CQT Men Women Winner qualifies to the Olympics. New Zealand will be the heavy favourites for the quotas, but there's a good chance they may reject the quota so things open up for the Pacific Nations.

Could be the fact that they felt they couldn't win the race a decided to take it easy for the repechage. We'll see one way or another tomorrow. M1x repechage results are in, fall to the C Final and are eliminated from Olympic contention.

After the heats here's how the quota simulation is looking. Comparing between heats isn't a great idea plus some athletes might be resting, but it's fun to see where things stand. M1x - LM2x - W1x - LW2x - Mexico and Chile could have qualified in the men's single sculls, but the limit prevented them. As Brazil is currently second in both the M1x and LM2x I assume they want more athletes, but that may not be the case. If they go for the M1x the LM2x quota would go to Venezuela (leapfrogging Chile due to the limit). Still lots of racing to go.

As a reminder, NOCs which qualified one boat at the World Championships can only qualify one boat here, unless two boats finish first. The following nations fit this criteria: Everyone else can qualify a maximum of two boats.

So close for Brazil

32 - 29 Portugal must now defeat host Hungary if they want to qualify.

Yeah, if the semis are any indication, Canada will likely finish first in women's K1. Canada may keep the C1 quota regardless and just have her compete in both events.
