Why we don't announce qualifiers via World Rankings in Boxing? 

It's very odd. Kurt Walker for Ireland has been announced by the team (and is already in Tokyo)

The only outstanding question now is which single women's weightlifting quota Colombia choose to retain of the four they originally secured. If it isn't the 76kg category then GB will gain the reallocated quota and the final size of the team will be 373.

You can consider it 373 already. Colombia will choose 64kg almost undoubtedly unless Mercedez is injured. Solis in 76kg is recovering from injury and lifted 247kg in -81kg non Olympic category at Pan Ams. She has competition from Dekha, Zavala closeby with Neisi at 261kg long way ahead. 

 

But Mercedez will go for gold 234 in pan ams with 238 pb just 2kg below Charron of Canada. No Real contenders for gold - silver hence it's easily gonna be 64kg with the exception of doping / injury

I guess they called it "Universality" invitations just because of no Slovak swimmer achieved the OQT. But both invited swimmers have OST in both events. In fact 7 Slovak swimmers achieved OST in different events this cycle, FINA picked the two (M+W) with the closest times to OQT, and allowed them to race in 2 events each.

 

But I am not very familiar with the whole swimming qualification format, this is just what I understood from our medias, NOC and Slovak Swimming sites.

Universality athletes are only allowed to start in one event though, irregardless of whether they have OST or not.

 

Invited OST athletes can participate in multiple events, but only if they get specifically invited for all those events.

 

So to summarise, only the OQT and relay athletes are allowed to start in their OST events without special invitations.

 

EDIT:. Ah, they changed it after Rio. Universality athletes with OST may start two events after all.

So, if Srihari Nataraj and Sajan Prakash, who have achieved OQT timings in 1 event, have achieved OST timings in other events, they can start in them as well?

Correct, as long as India has nobody else in those OST events.

well, this is what I read in Swimming Federation site, Slovak Olympic Committee site and in the TASR (Slovak press agency). so either FINA decided to not care two shits about their qualification rules or something terribly wrong happened in our NOC and federation

 

The email from FINA said that Slovakia is according the universality project for developing, yes, literally the word developing swimming countries invited to participate at the Olympic Games in Tokyo, namely Richard Nagy, Mens, in the 200m Butterfly and 400m Individual Medley and Andrea Podmaníková, Womens, in the 100m Breaststroke and 200m Breaststroke competitions.

 

Obviously this is not exactly the universality quotas, but since SVK did not qualify any swimmer in any gender by direct standard, they somehow fall in the universality system.
