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

    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.    
    • Philip Rivers' possible return to NFL while being a semifinalist for the Hall of Fame certainly wasn't on my bingo card. But well. So far he's only on the practice squad
