For ex. Tuvalu? I don't think they have any athlete capable in any other sport. What makes you think the IOC thought this through? (My guess is that they will do special IOC invitations like they did for Saudi Arabia in 2012) intoronto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quota limit hurts mid-small size nations anyway. Based on the athlete attendance in the 80s and 90s we should have around 11,500-12,000 athletes with the increased amount of events.

Speaking on behalf of Greece (I would say we are a mid size nation), we are way better in athletics now than we were in 2012 or 2016, but we will have less athletes because of these quota limits and high entry standards.

hckošice 13,243 Posted June 25, 2021 #1398 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Question for experts. How many RUS athlets can make realistically the team in M Hammer Throw, there 3 RUS & 1 ANA athlete in the world ranking qualifying places right now, but I assume only the ANA guy can theoretically compete in Tokyo, pending he will be chosen as one of the 10 ANA athletes ?

There are 3 Russian's and an ANA listed as qualified in the Women's 3000m SC. Surely this cannot be accurate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
