Comments

Article meets the GA standard. The story of this article is actually pretty common. Several countries have been unable to compete in the past due to lack of funds, but the reader may not realise how paltry the sums we are taking about are; just a few thousand dollars. Malawi was nearly unable to compete again in Rio because due to problems in Brazil, funding was not available with just days to go; the IPC managed to resolve the situation. The wildcards are controversial in these countries, because they do not always allow for their best athletes to be sent. In particular, women athletes are more likely to receive a wildcard as the IPC attempts to redress the gender imbalance. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:44, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
