In the Olympic Games, not more than sixteen (16) teams can be entered in each relay competition. The
top twelve (12) finishers at the 14th FINA World Championships – Shanghai 2011 shall be qualified
based upon the final results achieved. The four (4) other teams shall be selected by FINA on the basis of
the fastest times achieved in the fifteen-month period before the Olympic Games (1 March 2011 through
1 June 2012) in competitions approved for that purpose by FINA. If any qualified teams are not able to
participate for any reason, available slots will be filled on the basis of next fastest times achieved in the
15-month period before the Olympic Games in competitions approved for that purpose by FINA.
Individual times may not be aggregated for relay qualification purposes.

Australia's men's and women's basketball teams qualified for 2012 Olympics

Boomers follow Opals to London

Australia's men's basketball team has joined the women at the London Olympics with a series-clinching 81-64 victory over New Zealand in Brisbane.

While the Opals qualified with a reasonably comfortable 19-point win, the Boomers needed a huge final quarter to post a 17-point victory in their game two at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre.

Great Britain qualified 13 of 14 boats
New Zealand - 11/14
Germany - 11/14
Australia - 10/14
USA - 8/14
China - 8/14
Canada - 7/14
Italy - 6/14

Really looking forward to the Olympic Regatta. If Australia teamed up with New Zealand as 'Oceania', they would clean up. But unlike GBR, we like to go it alone with separate talent pools

Your PDF does not work. Y would Australia be teamed up with NZ as 'Oceania'? THe IOC does not recognize regions as entrants in the actual events: only recognized countries -- so why would you even say that?

Asian Football Confederation's Women Pre-Olympic Tournament

North Korea and Japan will represent Asia at the 2012 Olympic women football Tournament

Korea DPR have joined Japan as Asia’s representatives at the 2012 Women’s Olympic Football Tournament, with their comprehensive 5-0 final-round victory against Thailand confirming a top-two finish.

World champions Japan sealed their passage on Thursday, while Korea DPR needed to collect three points to ensure they stayed ahead of fellow 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup™ finalists Australia in the six-nation tournament.

I'm just stirring. As GBR is made up of England, Wales and Scotland, I was saying if Australia and New Zealand teamed up they would dominate as they have two very good squads. I'm more just poking fun at the British is all for having three countries to pick talent from. It wasn't a literal suggestion.

I have a question for you; why do you write 'why' as 'Y'? Is it really that much more efficient for you to type?
