Talk:Cycling at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Women's individual road race

Quota changes
The quotas actually used at the race differed from those initially announced and cited here in the article. Finland and Sweden did not start an athlete, and their places went to Canada and Poland who started 3 instead of 2 athletes, whereas Denmark, which was ranked above Canada and Poland in the 22 Oct 2019 nation rankings, did not gain an extra place. Does anybody know what happened? -- Rz98 (talk) 18:24, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Update: I found most of the answers myself (partially through other places in WP), but not why 7th-ranked Denmark missed out on when unused quotas were reallocated. The probable answer is that they declined, but I have no confirmation. -- Rz98 (talk)
