Even if Canada was in Europe, we'd still be in most sports. Like easily 20+, likely around 25. Off the top of my head, we'd probably fail to qualify in shooting and football. Among disciplines we'd probably miss open water swimming and canoe slalom. Everything else we'd have a representative. Yes, Canada benefits from not being in Europe, but we are still good at qualifying.

The tripartite quota on the women's side is quite competitive. Currently in the top 400 we have:
 
 Lina Gjorcheska (239)
 Danka Kovinic (241)
 Kathinka von Deichmann (277)
 Francesca Curmi (311)
 Sada Nahimana (336)
 Victoria Jimenez (364)
 
While I would love Burundi to get the quota and help boost tennis in Africa, Liechtenstein might force the tripartite committee's hand. They aren't eligible to send a swimmer and they don't compete in athletics (when was the last time they competed at a World Championships?) so without a tripartite quota they won't compete at the Olympics.
 
Outside of tennis their most likely tripartite quota would be in mountain biking. Also Liechtenstein has a higher ranking than Burundi so that may also play into their hand.

While I understand (but still dislike) having a specific meet or meets to achieve the OQT, these nations which create even harder times is ridiculous. It's not like FINA made the OQT easy to get either.
 
Imagine if Japan was as strict in other sports as it is in swimming, their team would be like 50-75 athletes rather than the near 300 they would normally get.

You are reading this too literally. In the case of Russia and Belarus, the sport federation is effectively the NOC now and decides who to nominate (which will be the highest ranked athletes/individual who qualified the quota).
 
 
I understand you really don't want them to compete, but if you think a rule in the qualification document is going to prevent them from competing then you are greatly mistaken. The best way for Russia to not compete is if the government decides not to go (Belarus will compete unless Russia forces them to boycott).

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.

Unsurprisingly, New Zealand has a huge lead over the Pacific Nations

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 -
