    Hello,
     
    I hope I'm posting my message in the right article.
     
    I would like to suggest that, in addition to the number of qualified athletes per country in this article (or in a separate article), we display the number of "spots" earned per country. For example, a qualified team would only count as one "quota," whether it's a basketball team or a synchronized swimming duet, and an athlete competing in two shooting events would earn two quotas.
     
    I've been doing this for France since the Rio Olympics, and I find it gives a better idea of both the country's medal potential and the success of its qualification period. Thus, a country that qualifies a team will not be at an advantage over a team that obtains the maximum quota in an individual sport. This also allows for earlier calculations for sports where athletes will be competing in multiple events (swimming, for example), or those whose quotas are not nominated (shooting, for example).
     
    The only two sports where this system does not allow for determining future participation are, a priori, artistic gymnastics (where athletes qualify for apparatus events during the Games, meaning that quotas can only be displayed after the start of the competition) and shooting (where an athlete qualified for one event can, in theory, participate in the others if the nation has not already qualified quotas).
     
    I don't know if this has already been proposed and/or rejected, but I plan to do it for myself for all countries anyway, so I might as well share it.
     
     
    Something like this, for example:
     
    United States of America - 36 Quotas / 2 Spots
    (18 Quota-1 Spot Football Men's / 18 Quota-1 Spot Football Women's)
    Brazil - 18 Quotas / 1 Spot
    (18 Quota-1 Spot Football Women's)
    Colombia - 18 Quotas / 1 Spot
    (18 Quota-1 Spot Football Women's)

    I found out that  Chad and  Liberia have recognized swimming federations but have never sent anyone to the World Championships or Olympics.
     
    If anyone knows someone with Chad or Liberian ancestry, this would seem like a great opportunity…

    There is a good chance that this event will break the attendance record from 2007 in Winnipeg. And Czechs would hold both records  It’s crazy because the women’s world championship was only shown on Czech TV for the first time in 2021. 
     
    2007: 119,231
    2025 with 5 games left: 96,697

    Both Czech games will be sold out (5,859 people) so we need the other semifinal, other medal game and 5th place game to combine for 10,817.

    Soon it will be goodbye to the   British Indian Ocean Territory as they will become part of Mauritius.
     
    No permanent residents, but the descendants of expelled indigenous residents from the 70s have a “Chagos Islands” football team. Ironically, just a few months ago, they played their first match under the “BIOT” name, and their shirts had the flag which looks pretty amazing.
