yes, Relay and Individual qualification are not related to each other

no, that wasn't a robbery once in their lifetime, judges Today have been consistent through the whole day and Lyra was actually losing her technique once she was getting tired the capital mistake is absolutely on her, she knew she had 2 red cards already and didn't even think about slowing down the pace a bit and try to make her action correct again, so to save at least a medal (meanwhile the Japanese girl was really smart -as you would expect at this level of the game- and once she was joined by the Italian didn't even try to answer the attack because she knew that she was also on the edge of a penalty and any increase of the pace at that point would have meant another red card, so she smartly settled down for silver instead of taking useless risks)

naaa, it's all in the hands of the judges...much more than the longer individual distances for instance, Today the judges were quite strict and many teams ended up being penalized but with the judges in the "Olympic format" (less strict, so not to have many DQ not to make damage to the image of WA), who normally allow race walkers to actually run the distance, will kill the competition

NOCs

the current valid document is this:

only 1

yeah, I messed it up a little but you know, English is not my first language, especially on a Sunday morning

this series is gonna end up early, I fear

it's also the "Marchand effect" when you know that you start 7/8 secs behind the eventual winner, you immediately try another option most races of this kind tend to decrease the average 1st tier participants (and would have more 2nd/3rd tier swimmers, if only the OQT wasn't that insane)

1 pair per Nation + the 5 best "2nd pair" from 5 Nations in total, max 22 pairs
