Valent and Marin Sinkovic won gold medal at World Cup in Varese in rowing.

Also, Damir Martin won gold medal in single sculls.

It seems that our competitors in rowing will be well prepared for Rio.

[Milan 26]

I guess that double sculls is our 'surest' medal at the Olympics (ahead of discus throw). But you actually can't be too sure about anything.

 

As expected Lavric is out in the first round. Toncica Topic wasn't bad, but not good enough.

[Crolympic 29]

With Filip Ude and Ana Đerek qualified, now we have 66 athletes in Rio.

Mia Radotić scored 3 Olympic points today. http://www.procyclingstats.com/race/Ronde_van_Gelderland_2016

 

Nothing to write a poem about, but maybe this could be a sign of good form for upcoming qualification races.

Now it is official. No Lizatovic or Lavric.

We will have in total 7 athletes in Kazan ECH in judo. Few surprises in my opinion:

They give a chance to Tihea Topolovec (2nd at the cadet WCH) and Brigita Matic (junior World champion). This is very positive.

There are as expected Maranic, Djakovic, Sutalo, Miskovic and Kumric. But again no Barbara Matic! I guess she is injured?

Barbara Matic has a shoulder injury I read a few days ago.

[Crolympic 29]

Snjezana Pejcic won gold medal in 50 metres rifle three positions in Rio de Janeiro - World Cup.

The most important thing is that she set a NEW WORLD RECORD in qualifications - 594.

Really bad weekend for us.

 

We might be without wrestlers in rio. One tournament left.

 

And in judo actually I was hoping for 3 quotas. Now it looks more like only one quota. Matic in danger to lose the fixed qualification, which would mean no Rio for Kumric. His quota is anyway in danger as minaskin won medal. He is probably still out of cont. quota
