This is a great example. It's absurd, that the individual events are 60% dependent on the team event, with another 30% being geo-locked..
 
The whole qualification system is geared to the same few powerhouse countries. Italy, Russia, France, United States, Japan, Korea or China always have 50% of the quotas. Yeah, it's most likely because of the IOC's policy of "fewer" athletes, but this way it just kills the flame in smaller nations to actively try to break through in this sport. 
 
And the team events having only 8 teams is a different story.. Ski-jumping and Nordic Combined are chastised for their team events, but fencing even gets encouraged by the IOC, even though they are with same... 8 teams

Just found this article on SwimSwam on  Abdelrahman Sameh, who just qualified for the semifinals in the 50m butterfly. He attempted suicide in March 2022,  so to see him come back from that and produce a new PB and NR.

Name 5 biggest gold medal hopes for your NOC in Paris 2024
 
lol 

has qualified their first athlete in athletics (men's 400m) via Michael Joseph at the Central American and Caribbean Games

Alekna whipping Cech's CR and winning the gold  + qualifying for Paris 2024

Martinková gets 4  - will now be walking back to the Hotel.
 
 McGrath has a  father, so we will be claiming him until he fails a drugs test.

I'd say no.
 
maybe men's epee has a very, very outside chance, but it would be considered a miracle
 
among the individuals, Freilich might have a chance if the top European teams ( and  at least) qualify through the team ranking.
 
but it will be a super tough battle, as this is the most crowded and most unpredictable event of the whole fencing world.
 
in the other weapons, I don't think there are real chances for  to qualify both as a team nor as individuals, unless something really unpredictable happens at the final individual OQT.

Now, I'm officially banned from Wikipedia by the community. Sportsfan 1234 does not want me to be part of or contribute to the Wikiproject Olympics (disagrees with my edits, putting negative remarks on the summary, and filing an administrative case for edit warring or incidents) and favors support from the admins for a nonsensical, prejudicial topic and community ban. Consequently, the Olympic-related articles will turn into a mess once again.
 
Best of luck to the unbanned or unblocked users. They will face the burden to fix the mess. This will not be the same when I started editing and formatting the articles around a decade ago.

Sure.

I'm sorry, but as no one here seems to care enough to have set a target for our team, I have to steal the target from someone else. Hope, you don't mind.
