Paris 2024 Qualification Updates

Field Hockey
September will see the Asia Games field hockey tournaments, with twelve men's teams and twelve women's teams vying for one spot each in Paris. Next month will see the qualifier tournaments for the EuroHockey Championships, which will be the first step towards determining the Europe continental spots- one each for men and women. 


Men's Basketball
If we're assuming the FIBA World Cup next year will once again be an Olympic qualifier, the second round of continental qualification will be next month. Several dozen teams remain in contention. 


Women's Soccer
Colombia has earned one of two CONMEBOL spots in the tournament with a 1-0 win over Argentina. This will be their third Olympic tournament after London and Rio, which is second-most among South America teams after Brazil. 
Brazil defeated Paraguay 2-0 in the second semifinal and have made it eight appearances in eight Olympic tournaments. 

The Europe spots will be determined by next year's World Cup, much like the Tokyo qualifiers. Unlike Tokyo, however, only the top two Europe teams at the World Cup will make the Paris field. 

September of next year will see the CONCACAF playoff between Canada and Jamaica, with the winner joining the United States in the Paris field. Canada can make their fifth appearance while Jamaica can make their first.

Three quick questions

Why are Russia only suspended from U21 Euros qualifying? To me, suspension from the tournament is too much of a short-term consequence- not only that, a suspension can be lifted at any time. And this is compounded by the fact that the U21 Euros next summer are the continental qualifier for Paris 2024 men's soccer.   So here's what I suggest FIFA does: remove Russia from the U21 Euros qualifiers. As a result, Russia can't qualify for Paris 2024 in men's soccer. I'm thinking that will be much more of a consequence than saying "you can't play in the tournament  now , but maybe in a couple of months".  Why is Russia in the EuroBasket field?  This years' EuroBasket tournament is scheduled for September and, surprisingly, Russia are not only in the field but are in Group A for the opening round. Which begs the question of why ?  As with the above answer, this seems like not even a short-term consequence. FIBA (the international governing body for basketb...
