Christine Majerus won yesterday and placed second today in races in France. That gives Luxembourg 140 points and that should be enough to qualify more than one rider for them. Meanwhile, Daiva Tuslaite finished 4th today and got 35 points. Looks like she caught the last train for Rio as she now has 98 points, what is likely going to be enough.

Actually no. At the 2016 Modern Pentathlon Worlds only medalists win Olympic quotas. If they are already qualified then the quotas will be reallocated through the World rankings.

Mihalić was already much better at the European Championships part. He reached quarterfinals where he lost to the 1st seed after tie-break.

Some good results from our athletes in Austria. Ivana Lončarek - 13.15 (100m hurdles) Lucija Pokos - 23.72 (200m) Roland Varga - 62.56m (discus throw) These three have an outside chance for Rio.

That's correct, instead of For some reason I thought that Chinese Taipei was already qualified.

That's the one way of looking at it I guess.

23 new dopers found after the retesting of London 2012 samples. Where is this World going...

Well, Mihalić should still have a chance at final QT next month, which is perhaps a bit easier thanks to reallocation. Ranking round is obviously no problem for him (he did very well at both European Games last year and EQT now). Hopefully he'll handle his nerves well next month.

That's not official. This is just the list of nations that qualified. NOCs have to confirm their quotas by June 15. We might see few more declined quotas, for example Sweden declining men's quota like they did in 2012. Meanwhile, mountain bike is pretty much the easiest African qualification path for South Africa (along with field hockey perhaps). I'm pretty sure that they won't accept it.

Finland in table tennis. Azerbaijan in triathlon. But I don't know if we should count Azerbaijan in triathlon and archery, because they did it with Ukrainian athletes.

Mountain bike quotas have been confirmed by UCI. No surprises.

Don't forget the reallocation of unused tripartite quotas what will happen 99.99%. Panama is probably the only tripartite nation that even competes in this sport, but they probably won't get it too.

Palauan lifter bombed out at Oceanian championships, that might cost him wild card since the competition is quite big.

Last quota for , hard luck for Serbian archer.

wins last available women's quota, hard luck for Belarus.

Turkey and Slovakia qualify in women's event. vs. for the last quota. hckošice will be very happy when he hears this!

Finland and Turkey win men's quotas. Last one will be vs.

Men's semifinals Popovic vs. Piippo Huston vs. Gazoz Women's semifinals Anagoz vs. Senyuk Marusava vs. Longova Top 3 in each go to Rio...

Mihalić finished 5th in the ranking round of archery European qualification, but after that he wasn't even able to defeat his first opponent. We are so weak.

I don't know. Probably no.

Well, the name is a match. So it's probably the same person, unless Amaliya is very popular name and Sharoyan very common surname in Armenia.

It's so strange that she qualified in long jump. She represented Armenia at a lot of big competitions, but that was in 400m (or 400m hurdles) event. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amaliya_Sharoyan

I think it will be 3 in the end for France.

Basically, all nations that should have 2 quotas according to nations ranking will have only one, because there are so many individuals in top 100. I'm hoping that Luxembourg will keep more than one quota at least... UCI should really introduce some "default" individual quotas for women's road cycling. For example, we have the same qualification path in nations ranking, but we also have for example 5 places for highest ranked individuals. If there are more than 5 individuals in Top 100, then we use the current system of reducing nation's quotas. We should also have some reallocations in women's time trial. Czech Republic will lose its place for sure. There is a chance that Russia will lose one too, if they end up with only one cyclist. Same goes for Belarus.

According to Latvian Olympic Committee, they have received a reallocation in men's K1 200m (as we expected that it might happen). Hungary exceeded the maximum number of athletes in men's kayak so they returned the men's K1 quota, which went to Latvia. http://olimpiade.lv/lv/jaunumi/zinas/smailotajs-rumjancevs-sanem-celazimi-uz-olimpiskajam-spelem-1008
