Oh, that would have been so embarassing for whichever continent did that! Not possible in the current format where you're inevitably going to get teams from the same region in the same group in the classification round, but a scenario where a team could go winless in the opening round and qualify for the Olympics almost happened.
Honestly Asia has had a really poor showing, Japan's win over Finland was the only win in the opening round... overall the continent went 1-17.
