2 hours ago, heywoodu said:Rejected quotas are already taken off from the lists here, correct? Is there a list somewhere where one can see how many quotas nations got in total, looking at what they actually earned through international standards and so ignoring national standards/rejections etc?
I'm curious how many quotas the Netherlands would have had, if we had a 100% 'no rejection policy'. So, the theoretical maximum, basically.
I see in women's heptathlon, one Dutch girl has made the qualification standard while 2 other Dutch girls are in the quota positions by ranking. Do you think they will all be sent to Tokyo?
Does anyone know if the Olympics are being broadcast on the Eurosport player in Ireland? @dodge

I see some Angora will march into the stadium in position #15, that should be fun 
4 minutes ago, hckošice said:at least Ireland is not necessary this time to separate Iran and Israel
We'll be back to normal duties in Paris
36 minutes ago, Vic Liu said:Japanese are quite smart. Only Korea, China and Japan three NOCs are written in Kanji (Chinese Character), all other NOCs are written in Hiragana(phonetic Romanization). On one hand, it shows respect to neighbors because Kanji seems more classic than Hiragana. On the other hand, it splits Chinese Taipei and China to avoid sequence next to each other if written in Kanji at the same. It makes all sides satisfied.
Too bad they didn't separate Surobakia and Surobenia
Here is the order the nations will march during the Parade of Nations (according to wikipedia at least):
Airurando (aka Ireland ) will be the 4th nation into the stadium after Greece, the refugee team and Iceland.

As for Ireland, traditionally our medal chances come in the second week of the Games as the boxing competition reaches the latter stages. However I think things will be a bit different this time and we might get our first medal in the first week. I always envy those nations that get on the medal board early after the first day or two. I don't think we will this time but at least we have some chances.
Our first realistic medal chance?
Our first realistic chances of a medal will come on Day 1 with men's road race cycling and men's -58kg taekwondo. The cycling is more of a long shot as I believe the course will suit climbers but if Dan Martin is in the race, we have some hope at least.
Jack Woolley is probably the better chance on Day 1 in men's -58kg taekwondo but he will need the performance of his life to medal. But at least he is capable of getting on the podium if everything went perfectly.
Our likely first medal of the Games?
Our first medal however will probably come on Day 5 with 3 decent chances in rowing. The men's Double Sculls may get our first medal of the Games. They finished 2nd at the World Championships in 2019 and they also narrowly lost to the Chinese world champions at the final World Cup in Lucerne.
After that we have the Women's Four and they have gone from strength to strength this year. They won silver at the European Championships, pushing the Dutch world silver medalists all the way and they also won the final qualification regatta. Hopefully they can make the final and from there anything is possible.
Later that morning we will hopefully have Sanita Puspure contesting the women's single sculls final and again, another solid chance of a medal.
And for good measure, the quarter-finals of the women's featherweight division in boxing will be contested on this day and hopefully Michaela Walsh could be fighting for a medal on this day.
Is there a bumper day for your nation where you expect more than one or a few medals to come?
Probably the aforementioned chances coming on Day 5. Our other medal chances are more spread out over different days.
Is there a day when you expect to have not so much competitors from your nation competing or no chances for medals?
There are some days where we have no real medal chances of course but in terms of having not a lot of competitors, probably in the final days, particularly if our boxers don't make it to the finals.
1 minute ago, hckošice said:well...
Let say it this way, any medal would be a fantastic achievement for us. We are currently in a situation that we can get even 6 (super optimistic scenario) but we will not be also surprised at all if we will return home empty handed (Pessimistic scenario).
But, ok, let play the game.
Our biggest chnce are
Day 3 - M C1 Canoe Slalom Finals
Day 6 - M & W Trap Shooting Finals
Day 8 - Mixed Trap Shooting Finals
Day 15 - M K4-500m Canoeing Sprint
If not medal in any of them, then we will nowhere
What about Matej Toth?
It's always interesting to look at the Olympic schedule and forecast when your nation's big medal chances will be. Will they be early in the program, in the final days, or will they be spread out over the course of the 16 days of medal winning action (the dream scenario )?
Here is the link to the day-to-day schedule to help with your forecast:
https://totallympics.com/qualification-tracker/tokyo2020/tokyo-2020-schedule_by_day/
When is the first realistic medal chance of the Games for your nation?
When do you think your nation will get their first medal and in which event?
Is there a bumper day for your nation where you expect more than one or a few medals to come? If so, what day?
Is there a day when you expect to have not so much competitors from your nation competing or no chances for medals?

I have Eurosport player subscription for the year but I am not sure whether the streams are available in Ireland. It’s very confusing this time
