According to the final quota allocation released on 20 January 2014, Argentina had six athletes in qualification position. [5] The non-selection of three-time Olympian Maria Belen Simari Birkner led to her brother Cristian, who made the team, to lead a petition to have her as a part of the team. They claimed the selection of athletes made no sense and was purely subjective. [6] The appeal was ultimately unsuccessful. [7]
