Women's  rugby

good day for Kazakhstan, they won both remaining double quotas 

Yeah thank you. Now we have to rely more individual quotas. We did not qualify any team, there is still chance for a woman's rugby team but it will be hard. Now let's hope we have more individual quotas and 2 or 3 relay teams in athletics. Would be pity to have the smallest team in history for the Paris games. Chief or our mission said he counting the number somewhere between 80-120. Big range 😀😀

CAS would probably accept it too.

Mixed 470 - 4 quotas

Thanks, also hoping for Rampula do qualify. Anyways was thinking how about the US team as they have already selected Sanderson for the Olympic team despite Henry Leverett earned the quota. Let's see how the final goes. 

and  Kazakhstan won a close battle with Japan and Uzbekistan to win the Men's C2 quota.

Korea always streams well. Only that you have to search in English their sports federation and translate to Korean and search 

Thanks god ! china india and some top shooters aren’t here otherwise we would have all 8 qouta holder in final.

Really a bad joke that already qualified shooters take part in this qualification tournament. 

50m Rifle - 3 Positions 
 
There are 5 shooters in the final who already earned the quota. So 2 quota places will be decided between  Ole Martin Halvorsen,  Michael Bargeron and  Jan Lochbihler 

This is how ATTU determines its 6th singles quota
 
is it really necessary? the best Asian player in the ranking will qualify through the World Ranking quotas anyway. 
 
btw it seems ITTF can never find the best possible format for the qualifiers. I hope they learn one day that they have to award the ranking quotas before the continental qualifiers. I totally understand they have problems with mixed doubles quotas, still they could find a way to deal with it.

Gracenote predictions are usually good but they do have some weaknesses.
They underestimate good performances by sportspeople breaking through to top level competition at a young age and, where certain parts of the world have a big advantage over other continents, they rely too much on older global results over newer continental results

have announced the short list of horse/rider combinations in contention for Olympic selection in show Jumping:
 
World Number 6 - Kent Farrington: Greya , Landon, Myla or Toulayna.
 
World Number 10 - McLain Ward: Callas, Contagious, or Quimi del Maset.
 
World Number 23 - Laura Kraut: Baloutine, Bisquetta or Dorado 212.
 
World Number 30 - Karl Cook: Caracole de la Roque or Kalinka Van't Zorgvliet.
 
World Number 43 - Lillie Keenan: Argan de Beliard or Kick On.
 
World Number 75 - Aaron Vale: Carissimo 25.
 
World Number 86 - Natalie Dean: Acota M.
 
World Number 117 - Jessica Sprinstein:  Don Juan van de Donkhoeve.
 
World Number 127 - Katie Dinan: Out of the Blue SCF.
 
World Number 167 - Callie Schott: Garant

Nations already qualified to the team event are not eligible for singles quotas. That means the women's East Asia quota is literally between North Korea and Mongolia while the men adds Hong Kong to the mix. Additionally, Thailand's women cannot compete nor can India in either gender.

Shayne Quiroz loses out on inner 10s after being level at 583, so unlucky. These quota holders didn't even give her a chance to qualify.
 
It's like not getting a quota in Final Olympic Qualifier in Wrestling just because you lost to Yazdani in first round and there are no Repechage system on offer. How unfair!

There should be an East Asian qualifier. As for the last quota, I think like Europe they are planning to allocated it towards the rankings, but they may host another tournament.

In Asia we have 6 quotas, it will be 6 Zones (in calendar I see 4 - South East Asia, South Asia, West Asia, Central Asia)
or they will use ranking for one or two quotas
 
for example Europe have tournament in Bosnia, and gave 5 places + 1 place is from ranking (closed 11 june / world ranking will close 18 june).

Totally agree.  Can't stand this

How does that make it any better? Why not throw from the top of the Himalaya or in a wind canal?

Yes they do and I expect them to take Kwesi Browne as their second rider. 
 
 
In order to be eligible for selection the rider has to have gained at least 10 UCI points in a qualifying event - '23 & '24 Nations Cup events, '23 World Champs and '23 and '24 Continental Champs
