For Sri Lanka add the Men's marathon the runner is less then a miniute of the B standard.

Cooray to keep fate in own hands

You can also add badminton men's singles as the highest ranked player from Sri Lanka is 75 in the men's singles.

Also shooting in the men's rifles/pistol is a possibility. A Sri Lankan athlete finished in 6th at the 2010 Asian Games.

Finally the athlete in the 400HW  has achieved the qualification time however it was not official.

Central African Republic +80kg? An athlete from the CAF didn't even compete in the qualification event.

JoshMartini007

I honestly don't know why I had CAF in taekwondo.  I started the list a while ago and when I was posting the list it caught my eye and after looking around I don't see it.

I'll add the Sri Lanka suggestions and take a look which shooting events are possible.

that would be the 10m air rifle event.

JoshMartini007

I was thinking the 50m rifle prone, the 10m air rifle finished in 38th

Confused the events! You can also possibly add women's singles badminton (the athlete is just outside the cutoff).
Also possibly a women's lightest weight category in boxing (athlete finished in top 8 last year at the WC).

Nice thread! A couple of days ago I saw athletes from Myanmar for the first time in my life! It was in that weird sport sepaktakraw or something so no qualification possible, but still

In my opinion some chances:
Bangladesh (Men Archery - World Rankings #112, Women Archery - World Rankings #115)
Benin (-60kgM Boxing - World Rankings #28)
Burkina Faso  (Men Sabre - World Rankings #94)
CAF (-56kgM Boxing - World Rankings #42)
Kiribati (-60kgM Boxing - World Rankings #22, -81kgM Boxing - World Rankings #30)
Laos (-49kgM Boxing - World Rankings #46)
Myanmar (Men Archery - World Rankings #105)
Nauru (-49kgM Boxing - World Rankings #15, -52kgM Boxing - World Rankings #22, -60kgM Boxing - World Rankings #29, -75kgM Boxing - World Rankings #24)
Seychelles (-81kgM Boxing - World Rankings #29)
Solomon Islands (-49kgM Boxing - World Rankings #22)
Togo (-91kgM Boxing - World Rankings #25)
Tonga (-64kgM Boxing - World Rankings #23, -69kgM Boxing - World Rankings #16, +91kgM Boxing - World Rankings #11)
Vanuatu (-52kgM Boxing - World Rankings #34)

Great

some notes

Macedonian wrestler you count (Murad Ramazanov) is 37 now and he is probably retired ! I didn't see him in international competitions for awhile

Iraq has a good weightlifting team, and since most of Asian countries already qualified through World Championships they have a very good chance (to me 100%) to qualify.

You mentioned Iraq 120kg Greco wrestler, (probably Ali Nadhim Salman) this guy is good but not that good to qualify in normal situation. he needs a very lucky draw. (some days ago he lost to an unknown wrestler in Pan Arabic Games) but it's not just him, the whole Iraq Greco-Roman team are in the same level and all of them can qualify with a very lucky draw.

from what I know Mauritius has a good female beach volleyball team.

Bhutan had a surprising Boxer (Sigyel Phub) in 2010 Asian Games, he even beat the Kazakh boxer before losing in quarterfinal, maybe with a very good draw it's not impossible for him to qualify. I think he is the only chance they have to qualify.

For Iraq, I would also add Men's Football Tournament, they are pretty well palces even if it won't be easy to put behind Australia and Uzbekistan.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I'm a bit skeptic of the boxing rankings so I only used the top 3-5 for Africa/Asia and the top for Oceania until I figure out how many results they used in the making of the rankings.

Is it already sure Kosovo will not take part as an Indipendent NOC ?

Does anyone know if there is South Sudan at the Olympics under its own flag or the IOC, or whether at all the players from this country are going to start?
