They will. Why wouldn't they?

Personally I think it is too late. Our athletes are really bad anyway and without preparation it will be a joke. 

Last place with min 50kg less than otherd

No, he will not finish last. Being our best lifter he could get a half-decent result.


The main point is that we will have another sport in Rio, what is good, especially for a sport in which our Olympic medal winning performances in 2000 and 2004 were followed by two Olympics with zero Croatian weightlifters. Who knows, maybe that in combination with hosting European Championships next year could bring a brighter future in this sport.

Well, I strongly disagree with everyone who states that Olympics are "too cool" for regular athletes. Difference between Olympics and World championships is that qualifying for the Olympics is harder (especially in sport like weightlifting where World championships are open to everyone), and yet those who make the Olympics get criticized. They earned this spot (it wasn't a random pick) and they deserve to send one athlete. Just like Starčević got his reallocated quota.

 

Amar Musić will be going in -85kg.

Our men's basketball team lost a friendly game against Argentina 78:97 in Cordoba.

 

Today 65 members of Croatian delegation arrived in Rio. Among athletes, coaches and other members of our delegation are our handball and water polo teams, and athletes in rowing, sailing, shooting, gymnastics, cycling, Ana Konjuh in tennis, Andrej Gacina in table tennis, Barbara Matic in judo, Mario Tododorvic in swimming.

 

I'm very happy that we have athlete in weightlifting in Rio.

Before qualification period I was hoping that we might qualify in badminton and canoeing, but it didn't happen.

Me too. If I'm not mistaken there are still nine of the current Olympic sports in which we have yet to qualify since independence (Archery, Badminton, Field Hockey, Football, Golf, Modern Pentathlon, Rugby sevens, Synchronized Swimming and Triathlon). Qualification in (men's) Football can always happen, but is pretty tough, since only a few Europeans qualify and our under-21 team has never been quite successful. I am not too enthusiastic about the Olympic football tournament anyway. In badminton we had some good female junior players. Maybe Sutara or someone else will progress to be good enough in the future. In Archery and Synchronized swimming we were not that far away from qualification this time.

I guess qualification in Weightlifting is also kind of new, since I think we have had no one else than naturalized Pesalov qualified before.

 

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

    • Hi everyone, with most of the sports' qualification documents released I did my own qualification simulation for all events including Tripartite places based on latest rankings followed by respective World Championships. For the simulation Russian and Belarusian athletes have been considered. Please note Swimming quotas are based on 2025 results. Even though Athletics qualification hasn't been released I assumed it to be same as 2024. Universality places for Athletics and Swimming are indicative only to ensure 1 athlete per gender qualify in the sport. Here is the sheet.

    • After the Dutch team won 23 out of a possible 32 Speed skating medals in 2014, some changes were made. In the 500, 1000 and 1500 metres the maximum number of skaters per country was reduced from 4 to 3, and in the 10 km from 3 to 2. Also the quotum was lowered from 10 to 9.   In the past the maximum number of swimmers per event per country was 3. This led on too many occasions to countries sweeping the podium.
    • Good point! I had totally forgot about that. And back in 2022 we still had national threads instead of clubs, so we have surely had a huge increase of replies in club's threads comparing to the old national threads (and the Canadian club was the most active one by far).   Nice to see the forum is in a good shape and let's now focus on summer sports with the LA28 qualifications starting very soon
