So, one more win needed.

Samoa is scoring much easily though.

Zimbabwe and Tonga will play the 9th place match. Just to prove how incredibly horrible group draw we had.

Russia defeats Canada. I see where this day is going.

Ireland out in quarterfinals, what's up experts? Though, it's sad that they lost still.

Spain is about to defeat Ireland.

Nope, there will still be 20 tripartite quotas. Invitations for refugees cannot be counted as tripartite quotas (for one thing, refugee olympic team is not a tripartite nation). They will be counted as extra athletes, similarly to those women's quotas that were awarded to Saudi Arabia and Qatar in 2012...

ISSF has updated the qualification table. Armenia and Morocco have received one quota each.

South African boxers who qualified at the African qualification event (Sibusiso Bandla and Sikho Nqothole) are competing here... This should mean that Kenya and Lesotho get African quotas in -49 and -52 respectively.

I still expect Belarus to win that last quota. Yes, Korea edged them in a group match, but you have to consider that Belarus was guaranteed the first place in group even with -10 defeat.

Canada will be represented by Belinda Trussell and Megan Lane in dressage. Technically, selection period ends on July 3rd, but since there are no more competitions in North America before the deadline it's over. Trussell is a long way in front, but there was a tight battle for the second quota. Karen Pavicic sadly lost her quota to Lane on the very last day. Riders are ranked by the average of their 4 highest scores in the past few months. http://www.dressage-news.com/?p=36759

Well, it's not like Ireland defeated Samoa in a one sided match... It was a close match.

Samoa lost to Ireland...

One per event is also the rule in sprint canoeing, rowing, sailing... (since forever) Don't see why would slalom canoeing be an excpetion, especially since sailing is much more competitive in terms of good crews per nation.

Germany has published the jumping long list for Rio. 10 names were selected and divded in two groups. Group A Christian Ahlmann Ludger Beerbaum Daniel Deusser Marcus Ehning Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum Group B Hans-Dieter Dreher Marco Kutscher Janne-Friederike Meyer Mario Stevens Patrick Stuhlmeyer I expect all the names to come from Group A. Team will be named on July 17th. Meanwhile, Danish dressage championships started yesterday, Dufour won the Grand Prix. It very much looks like Cathrine Dufour, Anna Kasprzak and Agnete Kirk Thinggaard will be in Rio. The last Danish team rider will probably be either Daniel Bachmann Andersen or Mikala Munter Gundersen.

It appears as though Guam has selected a male 800m runner and a female 100m runner as their wild card athletes. Cambodia also selected their athletes, two marathon runners.

I think she has a very good chance for reallocation though.

Do you think Netherlands would have a chance to qualify if it gets expanded to 32 teams?

You are also better than Czechia in this sport. I guess that's important.

Disagree, I will be more than happy to see so many athletes (and so many nations) in this event.

@hckosice is going to be ecstatic. Ok, Longova was one of the higher seeds, but this guy qualified even though he was 80th seed (!).

And Moldova wins 6:0
