There is one more change, New Zealand now suddenly has women's RS:X quota again!

I'm surprised there's no Oman. And yet there are Angola and Bermuda even though they already have sailors. I guess nobody else applied. Also surprised that Cayman Islands applied for a wild card, in 2008 and 2012 they only sent athletes who qualified. Women's 470 quota should go to Israel, what means that Finland now get European quota.

Well, they are not qualified because they didn't compete at qualification event. Probably thanks to our federation. Although, they would have probably missed the qualification by 2-3 places. Qualification in diving would be finally some positive surprise, but that is by no means certain as of now. But there should be a decent chance.

Well, International Canoe Federation hasn't published anything about that, and it's not a surprise. They are by far the worst federation when it comes to sharing information with general public.

Here's something. Apparently, if Joao Victor Oliva and Haddington make the Brazilian dressage team, then we will see a horse born in Afghanistan at the Olympics! To put that into perspective, I don't think I have ever heard of some Olympic horse who was born in Asia, let alone in country like Looks like Afghanistan might qualify an Olympian.

That is just weird. It could only happen if Canada refused their quota.

Of course. You can do whatever you want with athletes you qualified, provided that you qualified enough. Poland did the same thing in women's kayaking in 2012.

I guess it is. But I don't know if the Latvian women will be obligated to hold purses on Opening ceremony.

Latvia And I guess these are for the Opening ceremony.

Solomon Islands will host 2023 Pacific Games. Apparently, they surprisingly won hosting rights by a single vote. Tahiti was considered to be a strong favourite.

This is like some funny story from 1900 or 1904 Olympics. Meanwhile, Lončar made semfinals today in men's 200m backstroke. Who knows, maybe with some luck we could have as much as 4 swimmers in Rio. Samardžić, Radić, Todorović and Lončar.

Good news for Palau, looks like they received a wild card in wrestling. http://www.islandtimes.us/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1111:temengil-to-compete-in-the-rio-2016-olympic-games&catid=3:sports-news Also Honduras in women's -48 freestyle... http://www.elheraldo.hn/deportes/polideportivo/960842-466/luchadora-hondure%C3%B1a-recibe-wild-card-para-asistir-a-los-juegos-ol%C3%ADmpicos-de And also Haiti in men's -74 freestyle... I don't get why some federations are so slow with updating the list of wild card athletes.

Who are the provisional qualifiers for women's 4x200?

Yes and no. Romania technically qualified only in C2, but you will be allowed to compete in C1 1000 (and C1 200), provided that athlete competing there is also competing in C2.

ISSF is being a bit secretive about the exact number, but there are around 30 unused quotas for small nations + unqualified nations. If I'm not mistaken they are giving the priority to unqualified nations with the highest number of MQS reached.

There are reallocations for unqualified nations in shooting who have MQS.

Yes, there were so many close finishes today. Austrians probably had the biggest shocker in women's K2. Moldova's near miss in C2 was sad.

Men's K1 200 - Men's K1 1000 - Men's K2 200 - Men's K2 1000 - Men's C1 200 - Men's C1 1000 - Men's C2 1000 - Women's K1 200 - Women's K1 500 - Women's K2 500 -

Wild cards have been assigned. Marcelo Aguirre and Heba Allejji.

Syria is a nice choice. Paraguay has also been confirmed for men's singles. Here's the full article from ITTF. http://ittf.com/_front_page/ittf_full_story1.asp?ID=44347&Category=General&Competition_ID=&

It's not possible to win quotas in both K1 200 and K1 500 at the continental regattas (even with different athletes). Quota in shorter distance (K1 200) will go to the next best nation, Portugal. Also, Hungary has exceeded the maximum number of athletes in men's kayak (8). They have 9 athletes and they will probably return the K1 200 quota, what would be good news for Latvia. Btw, Georgia qualified in canoeing for the first time in their history.

I can do the swapping with the USA. Also, I propose that "1st break" is renamed to "Coffee break" and that "3rd break" is renamed to "Tea break".

Considering how many Sammarinese swimmers are competing here, this is probably their main selection event for Rio.
