Does anyone know when the draws in Boxing, Judo, Taekwondo, Wrestling, Tennis and Table Tennis will be made?

 

Draws are generally held a couple of days before the competition. I know that table tennis draw will be held on August 3rd and boxing on August 4th I think. Taekwondo and wrestling will not be done before the Opening ceremony.

 

Andrej Gaćina is actually the 16th seed for men's table tennis tournament. The seeding rankings are not final yet but he'll probably stay in top 16. If he stays in top 16 then he'll receive a bye until round 3. 17-32 ranked players will start from round 2.

Does anyone know will our tennis federation nominate players for mixed doubles competition?

 

 

Probably thanks to them Dodig won't compete in doubles, so I wouldn't hold my breath.

There are not many places in mixed doubles, but after these withdrawals maybe we could have chance.

I still don't know the reason why Dodig will not compete, is it because of him or our federation?

I haven't heard anything, but if they do, I hope they will nominate Draganja instead of Coric. Draganja is the better doubles player, he has played mixed doubles with Konjuh more recently (I think they reached QF in Wimbledon last year) and their combined ranking would be better than with Coric.

Dodig and Konjuh would be the best mixed doubles from :CRO

 

Maybe, but unfortunately this isn't possible anymore. I also don't know why Darija Jurak is not there. The double Konjuh/Jurak apparently has not been nominated for women's doubles by our federation, otherwise they should be in by now. Shame, we could have had much more than four tennis players in Rio.

I really don't know how our tennis federation works, they sould have done some calculations before olympics. It's their interest too to have more players and more chances for medal at olympics. 

I hope that they had some communication with players regarding possible olympic combinations in women's doubles and mixed doubles. But I doubt it.

Just few days left and it is time for a prediction of Croatian results:

 

Athletics:

Sandra Perkovic gold

Sara Kolak, she seems tobe in good shape, I expect final

Andrea Ivancevic semi-final in 100m hurdles

Matea Matosevic and Marija Vrajic, no expectations, PB would be great

Ivan Horvat, final

Filip Mihaljevic and Stipe Zunic will not make it to the final

Blanka Vlasic, I am afraid will be without medal, 5th place or similar

Ana Simic, will not make the final

 

Basketball: 1/4 finals

 

Boxing:

Filip Hrgovic bronze medal

Hrvoje Sep out in the 2nd round

 

Cycling: Kvasina and Durasek without special result, somewhere in the middle of the ranking

Diving: M. Maric, no expectations, already great result that she is here

Gymnastics:

Filip Ude, final in pommel horse, but without medal

Derek, no expectations

 

Handball: silver

Judo: Barbara Matic, dark horse in my opinion, bronze medal

 

Rowing: Sinkovics gold

Damir Martin, final

 

Sailing:

Fantela/Marinic bronze

Bambi, Stipanovic, Mihelic Top ten,

Rest without special result

 

Shooting:

Perec, Marovic and Gustin no final

Pejcic, Cernogoraz, Glasinovic and Gorsa, diffcult to say, all could make a medal or not qualify to final

My guess 1 medal (silver) and 2 more finals

 

Swimming:

Matea Samrdzic semi final 200m back

Todorovic nothing

 

Table Tennis:

Gacina, 1/8 final

 

Taekwando:

I think this time without a medal :(

 

Tennis:

In Singles all out in 1st round

Cilic/Draganja out in 1/4 finals

 

Waterpolo: 4th place

 

Weigthlifting: Music, i hope he is not going to be last

 

Wrestling: Starcevic, will lose in the bronze medal match

I hope I did not forget anyone

 

So overall:

2 gold, 2 silver and 3 bronze medals

 

and hopefully no doping case

    • grab the final men’s quota so arguably the top two favourites on each side qualified 
    • I thought that was the case.  I just started watching skimo last year, but even then, I didn't recognize any of the women.  I recognized the top Swiss guy, I think.
    • Puripol Boonson seizes home men's 100m sprint gold after going sub-10 seconds in heats   https://www.olympics.com/en/news/sea-games-athletics-mens-100m-final-results-puripol-boonson   First Southeast Asian to go under ten seconds in the 100 meters.
    • Yes, that and a lot of the main medal contenders  either didn't have teams entered/or fielded B-C teams
    • Write-up on the Gisin story.   Olympic champion Gisin undergoes cervical spine surgery after crash
    • Seriously wish Bialystok will be banned from any European competition and for long time.
    • Unexpected boost for Team .  They are at least going to have a credible excuse if anyone fails any drug tests.     American rapper Snoop Dogg has been named an 'honorary coach' for Team USA at next year's Winter Olympics.   The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) announced on Thursday the 54-year-old will take on "a volunteer role celebrating and supporting America's athletes off the field of play".   Snoop Dogg named 'honorary coach' for Team US at Winter Olympics - BBC Sport
    • Just now getting around to these results...glad to see USA win a gold.  Didn't think we were much of a contender here.  Home soil luck?
    • Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall.
