I doubt it considering there are still 2592 points to be awarded!!!

Wow, that's really encouraging news, thanks for bringing this to my attention
 

Don't get the skateboarding thing. And not sure about the surf. I think IOC is lost triying to reach the youngers. For me, is like those 45 year old dads that try so hard to be cool in front of their sons friends and they just embarrassed them.
 
Having already the BMX in the games, the easier and more logical thing is to add a couple of BMX Freestyle events, that trying to build a "new sport" in four year.

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.

I give an example. There is a drug called GW 501516. It works well at helping with endurance so some cyclists and athletes take it.
One Olympic champion has been banned for taking it.
Trouble is that research on the drug for medical use was stopped when it is was found to cause cancer in rats.
Basically if you legalize doping you have to accept that sportspeople will take anything that helps them to win.
If you have children then a parent must accept that the only way your child will become successful is to feed him or her massive doses of steroids or EPO or whatever drug which may effect their health or even kill them,
If a person is happy to do that then they really should not be allowed to have children,
Anti-doping today is bad but the thought of people taking anything they want to take scares me. If that ever happened I hope all sports would be banned forever.

We really need those Martians to take care of such things.

First five nations get 3 quotas in men's. 6th-13th get 2 quotas.

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.

A box of Beer for that person 

You are right.

There are around 30 unused quotas in shooting. Only a handful of them will go to Tripartite nations (depending on who applied), and most of the remaining quotas will go to unqualified nations who have MQS. Belgium, Lithuania and Ireland for example received a reallocated quota in 2012, and they are most certainly not Tripartite nations.

They can still receive a reallocated quota (which can go to any unqualified nation in shooting).

Hopefully we will share in some success next time buddy rather than disaster.

Hermans: "Am I dreaming?"
Dutch selectors: "Yes, you are"

Asian quotas have been confirmed. http://www.worldrowing.com/mm//Document/General/General/12/26/16/2016OlympicQualification_090516_Neutral.pdf
 
Thailand received reallocation in women's single sculls while Hong Kong got in women's light double sculls. Vietnam chose LW2x, South Korea W1x.

In my opinion this was their best chance to qualify, the chances of making it through a mostly European field will be difficult.

Yeah, if they take 1-2 quotas away from those countries then there will be a lot of reallocations!
 
As for Azerbaijan, in theory 1-1=0... But we are talking about Azerbaijan here so I guess it could be 1-1+x=x

In the final 3 kilometres to be exact.

But when someone takes doping then he/she is deliberately cheating. That's completely different sphere.
