Hey, how is everyone doing. It's been a while and it seems a lot has changed since I've last been here.

The qualification formats themselves will likely remain the same, just with different dates for events or cut-off for world rankings.
 
There might be an option to increase quotas in some sports to allow athletes that greatly improve over the year to qualify, but couldn't due to their sport completing the qualification period. Though I feel that's unlikely or the quotas will be given in rare circumstances

As all tripartite nations must be in the top 50 of the Olympic Standings here are those that are eligible.
 
Men's Kata
(ranked 18th)
 
Men's -67kg
(ranked 18th)
(ranked 20th)
(ranked 29th)
 
Men's -75kg
(ranked 24th)
(ranked 45th)
 
Men's +75kg
(ranked 45th)
(ranked 46th)
 
Women's Kata

Women's -55kg
None
 
Women's -61kg

Women's +61kg
(ranked 26th)
 
Slim pickings on the women's side, it is likely one, if not two quotas will be reallocated

Yeah the lower half of the -86kg was wide open given that they essentially put the top three guys in the top half. Huge opportunity for to grab a quota. Argentina looked the best in the first round, but Peru has yet to compete.

Yesterday, IHF wrote that the women's OQT will go ahead as planned. 
The men’s OQT in Germany and Norway will be played without spectators. However, as people travelling from Republic of Korea are currently not allowed to enter Norway, the organiser of the men’s tournament in Norway will need to provide a solution or the tournament will be re-allocated.  
In France, the current restrictions, which would not allow the tournament to be held with spectators, are valid until 15 April.

No, just reading updates from the Zambia Football Association (and everyone's complaints of the lack of streaming ).

Zambia scores the first goal and is up 2-0 at half-time, if it holds they will qualify 4-3 on aggregate.

With Japan qualifying two athletes in the women's competition they will not be awarded any host quotas in the women's events meaning they are all reallocated to the World Qualification Tournament.

Then I hope the JOC will force the IOC to share some of its media revenue. That would probably scare any nation from ever hosting the event if they are going to lose that much money.

Yeah, at best this puts them into the conversation for a medal. If they can repeat this performance they will likely get a medal, but the best they could do is silver IMO. Germany would need to have a horrible day to not win team gold in dressage right now.

That's a shame, I worked a bit with him. My guess is he appeared to be a bit too official so I imagine the IOC got him for impersonation.

Here's the tweet from the person.

It essentially kept track on who has qualified to the Olympics.

It's an historic relic when traveling was expensive that's only kept because no one (Brazil/Canada/United States) wants more competition for the team quotas.

Here are what the quarterfinals look like along with how many quotas available. First the men...

The only way the "at least 1 man and 1 woman" rule will work is if nations are allowed to have at least 1 man and 1 woman in athletics.
 
Several nations will likely end with having only one athlete at the 2020 Olympics.

Just noticed, water polo will have 13 athletes, the same as 2016 (originally it was suppose to be 11 athletes)
