dcro 10,192 Posted July 17, 2021 #1 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Scrolling through the entry lists, I randomly found that Aleksandra Maksakova will celebrate her birthday on an actual competition day, which is too awesome. It would be curious to know how many Olympians will contest their events on their birthday. It's a small subset of Olympians with birthdays during the 16 days. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't checked the rest, but our weightlifters Eko Yuli Irawan will compete a day after his birthday and Deni will compete a day before his birthday (both compete in 25 July) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maestro 571 Posted July 18, 2021 #4 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I tried to make a list of athletes competing on their birthday for 24 and 25 July. On 24 July. Louisa Altenhuber, lightweight double sculls Rebecka Blomqvist, football Daniella Fonseca, table tennis Gianluca Galassi, volleyball Jacob Draper, field hockey Jack Hargreaves, rowing four Fikile Khosa, football Malou Pheninckx, field hockey Sonia Ursu, basketball Also, it is possible that tennis player Marcos Giron will play on that day, but draw for tennis isn't out yet. First round is on 24-25 July. Rowers Liu Xiaoxin and Oliver Zeidler will have repechage of their events on that day. On 25 July, apart from Maksakova in equestrian dressage. Joanna Evans, swimming 400 free Bianca Busa, volleyball Julieta Lazcano, volleyball Liu Yunchen, badminton Piotr Myszka, sailing RSX Also, the first round of women's 51kg in boxing is on that day. Mandy Bujold might compete, I say might because some will have a bye in the first round and I'm not sure how this will be decided. In tennis, Maria Sakkari and John Peers might play their first round matches depending on the draw. Makedonas and Vic Liu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
