http://www.iwf.net/2016/07/15/cas-dismisses-the-appeal-of-alexei-lovchev/ On what grounds did he appeal?

Switzerland has apparently replaced Xenia Knoll with Viktorija Golubic in women's doubles. ITF approved that. http://www.swissolympicteam.ch/olympische-spiele/sommerspiele/rio-2016.html

South Africa has confirmed their team of 137 athletes. http://www.sascoc.co.za/2016/07/14/team-south-africa-named-for-the-2016-rio-olympics/

They would have done nothing if he was the only one, duh.

They say "World Olympic Games"

Hope dies last indeed. Anyway, I am eagerly waiting for that July 18th and entries deadline. After that we finally have two weeks of peace, with no qualifications and selections (and no waiting for updates from lazy federations like FINA).

Yes, you would need that one additional quota to tie Fiji on 53.

And that's the deadline for all of the sports.

Well, it's only fair that UWW follows its own rules set in qualification system. And QS says that unused host quotas will go to either tripartite nations or highest ranked unqualified nations from 2015 Worlds. Anyway, it would have been so unfair if nations that were hoping to get unused host quotas had to pay for the mess UWW made with doping disqualifications. Btw, tennis went 20+ athletes overboard, UWW has nothing to worry about.

And apparently Peru received the last spare host quota in women's -58 http://publimetro.pe/deportes/noticia-rio-2016-peru-29-deportistas-lucha-libre-48104

Lol, same time. His best horse got injured and looks like that's the reason why no Captain Canada this time.

Canada Team Dressage Megan Lane (Caravella) Belinda Trussell (Anton) Eventing Rebecca Howard (Riddle Master) Colleen Loach (Qorry Blue d'Argogues) Selena O'Hanlon (Foxwood High) Jessica Phoenix (A Little Romance) Jumping Yann Candele (Showgirl) Tiffany Foster (Tripple X) Eric Lamaze (Fine Lady) Amy Millar (Heros) https://sx271.infusionsoft.com/app/hostedEmail/1083471/20f1f60f013f7f7c?inf_contact_key=ae1d86c2657647f30f18810a56843cc72643bb8853f2b6f512e5943cd6c95652 ...and for the first time since 1968 there is no Ian Millar (Captain Canada) in jumping team. At least Amy Millar (his daughter) and Yann Candele (my second favourite Canadian) are there, but that is hardly a consolation.

Then you should know this. Back when Totallympics was launched it was firstly named "hottestsports" (or something like that, I'm not entirely sure). But, I do remember well that the name "Totallympics" was Jukka's proposal when we had a discussion back on the old forum for a new name.

I noticed one error in sprint canoeing, It says lane 9, but there is no lane 9 in Olympics.

Fencing Individual Sabre -1 +1

Ok, so she is like the stupidest athlete ever.

What do you have to do to earn a black card?

Yes, our wrestling federation has confirmed that we have received an unused host quota, meaning that we can expect 3 more nations to qualify.

So sad

We received an invitation in wrestling today, but nobody says why exactly. Božo Starčević - Men's Greco-Roman -75kg

Wow, that's awesome. It could be the reallocation of unused host quotas.

Yes, some time ago. All quotas are confirmed.

So you can go there and make some pictures. Or interviews since you like to contact the athletes.

This is a serious blow for Dutch dressage team now... http://www.eurodressage.com/equestrian/2016/07/13/edward-gal-withdraws-undercover-dutch-championships-and-most-likely-rio-contention

They have huge team this time mostly because Brazil is the host, what opened the door for more continental quotas (especially in team sports). ARG Olympic team is usually considerably smaller.
