Update. Doctors have discovered that his condition is acute pancreatitis. It was severe at first (hence him being taken on an ambulance in extreme pain) but his condition got better after time. Today, that all changed, he got worse again and was taken into another wing of the hospital. He’s expected to stay there for about a couple of weeks, maybe even longer. Really hoping he can get well soon, it’s heartbreaking to see him in his current state 

6/8 NPCs qualifying for both tournaments is quite a lot. Unfortunately, this is the price for reducing the number of quotas from previous editions.

So I just totted up what I think are the totals for the OQT for USA, AUS, GBR, Japan, Italy, China and France, using the FINA LCM rankings from 1st March 23 to today.
 
Those were the countries I thought might have a chance of being near the top of a list like this. There are other countries which are strong in part (Canadian & Dutch women) but less so collectively. I could be doing them a disservice not including them, but I was already looking at enough to fry my brain anyway
 
Russia would likely be somewhere in there, but with their uncertain status about things, I've not included in these figures.
 
USA - Men 83, Women 98 = 181 total
Aus - Men 34, Women 60 = 94 total
Japan - Men 38, Women 27 = 65 total
China - Men 25, Women 39 = 64 total
GBR - Men 34, Women 25 = 59 total
Italy - Men 33, Women 14 = 47 total
France - Men 25, Women 14 = 39 total
 
These are qualified swims, not swimmers. So Duncan Scott - for example - is in the GBR quota 3 times (100m fr, 200m fr, 200m IM). It would take me a lot longer to work that out, at least for countries that are not GBR. GBR is 37 total swimmers with an OQT - 23 men and 14 women.
 
 

with 1 athlete qualified (Archery Compound Men) for the Games! 

LADIES AND GENTLEMAN,IT'S OFFICIAL .MYKOLAS ALEKNA HAS THROWN 74.41 . 

Ñ may still have some uses in Tagalog from what I can find. @LDOG maybe knows more, since he made the original post.

Duenas isn’t Spanish though? He’s Filipino-Canadian. 

Oooh yes, we might have one of those classics again.....Lorena Wiebes sprinted for the win in the Amstel Gold Race and celebrated....but it was too early and Marianne Vos passed her on the line  
 
I keep wondering how someone can act so unmeasurably dumb as a pro cyclist (and the best sprinter in the world, mind you)

I had hope after yesterday, but no quota for  

Great to see smaller nations like  competing 

If you really want to qualify, you’d have @Josh award the quotas to your closest rivals midway through the competition
