There's a good chance that Spain will be the preferred bid for the 2030 Winter Olympics which will make it difficult to award them the 2036 Summer Olympics. If not, then I suspect Canada will win the 2030 bid so they would be out for 2036. I don't think the IOC is dumb enough to award Germany the 2036 Olympics, the connection to 1936 would create a media frenzy. I do think a nation from Europe will be the next host. From what I hear, Great Britain and Italy seem to show the most interest and I feel they are just far enough from last hosting the Summer/Winter games to be at least considered. As for other nations coming out of nowhere, Russia is a non-starter for obvious reasons and Ukraine is pre-occupied right now, it's too soon for France so that leaves us with the Netherlands, Hungary or Poland if one of them has the will to put up a serious bid. Turkey is always interested in hosting, but I don't think the IOC will pick them unless none of the big nation decide to submit a bid. Outside of Europe, China would probably be the favourite, South Korea could make a decent case if they really wanted to while Egypt will bring the 1st games in Africa vibe.

Was Canada not eligible in the North American League? I thought Tiffany Foster would have enough points...

It's common for teams to change/reform after the Olympics. It gives them four years experience and worst case scenario gives you enough time to form a new team if the first one doesn't work out.

Here's shooting rifle/pistol (pages 8-10), it also mentions the shotgun qualifier will be in May, but doesn't state how the quotas will be split...

Awesome, now to find documents for other sports...

Perhaps they feel the IOC won't remove them Ignoring internal politics from sport federations and only taking into account the number of nations which compete regularly weightlifting is quite widespread. Not athletics/basketball/football widespread, but well above many less inclusive sports so they think the IOC is bluffing. The IOC being relatively lenient over the years probably makes them more confident. Even in the worst case scenario where the IOC does kick them out and they finally clean house the sport will be welcomed back by the next Olympics so there is little long term concern for the current management to push the edge. If this was modern pentathlon behaving this way, they would have been kicked out long ago and possibly never return.

Do you have any qualification documents, even if it's in Spanish?

The good news is weightlifting doesn't have a lot of depth. Only 16 nations competed at the 2021 championships and some only competed with 1 or 2 athletes. Assuming we send our B-team and rack up points (low is better than none) we should be able to have a team of 3 men and 3 women with maybe an outside chance for a fourth woman since Cuba didn't participate at all.

Here's a summary for weightlifting qualification (in Spanish) Basically they are using the combined team scores from the 2021 and 2022 Pan American Championships and awarding quotas based on nation rankings.

Everyone seems to be keeping quiet. Not sure if the IOC is putting an embargo on the information or if one of the sports has a controversial qualification pathway and needs to be redone. Usually the first events will be in summer, but every now and then we do see someone start extra early.
