Neither is Kosovo :p

 

The whole "angry Serbs" thing aside, since Kosovo is a nation, recognized by a majority of countries and - the most important - by the IOC, we will obviously count them as nation :d (although not for this list, given that they will debut)

 

But let's stop this right here before the thread goes in the completely wrong direction :p 

 

 

Will Serbia debut in some sport in Rio?

It's a hard question because Serbia as a Serbia will have basketball for sure for the first time, last time it was in Athens as Yugoslavia or Serbia and Montenegro, I can't even remember. But I don't count that as a debut.

2004 was as Serbia and Montenegro...I'm surprised Serbia wasn't there in 2008 and 2012 :yikes:

Well, it's tough to qualify in basketball, only 12 teams is a joke, it should be 16. 2008 Olympic cycle was probably the worst ever for our basketball, and in 2011 we failed to qualify, there were better teams plus some injuries.

 

And even now we are not yet qualified in men's basketball even though I think we will qualify, but we are in women's basketball.

The only new sport for Iran can be Volleyball, if they qualify in Japan !

 

we could debut in Handball if it wasn't a world selection team called Qatar :wacko:

 

they are trying their chance in Slalom Canoeing and Beach Volleyball but no realistic chance.

    • hmm - aren't Australia and New Zealand the only nations that actually compete in the Oceania Cup?
    • If Australia and New Zealand earn quotas through Pro League, then does that mean 3rd placed team from Oceania Cup takes quota? 
    • Right now russians themselves metioned that they have 2 main options for women`s quota: - Peklecova will was not included into the international doping testing pool (RUSADA is still incompliant after that scandal) - D.Nepryaeva had training camps at the occupied territories - it is the best way to avoid of the international doping testing at all     P.S. Little detail - according to Vaelbe 90% of russian skiera are contracted with russian army or other security services.
    • We had no real problems with russians for a long time. It was a normal sport rivalry. It was common case that statues of russian politicians and poets remained in place even in the Western Ukraine which was joined by the Soviet Union much later. Lyskun was pro-Ukrainian according to her statement but she kept conctcts with her former coach. That coach moved to russia earlier and could do some brainwashing. I would say that the coach may have financial motivation to do this. By the way we had similar case with Bondar from Luhansk who moved to russia in 2014. What is really interesting - russians have a lot of resources but it took them 4 yeats to find someone relatively well-known in sport area to stage this propaganda performance.       Yes, this web-site is active and maintained. The list is beeing updated. But it is not an official goverment resource and it is operated by the non-goverment organization. It was created to draw attention of the national security services to the activities of some people and provide some initial foundations for further formal investigations.
    • AIN's will skipped (they got American visa too late) 2nd WC stage (but their could compete in 3rd WC stage) and, therefore, their chances to got more than 1 entry in OG have become lower, especially,  if their will not allow to compete in Sigulda (but after their participation in Poland's short-track WT stage, I won't give 100% chances for that).   Maybe problem with entries will be solved by itself)
    • You prefer matches in USA , look at that ...    Tourists to US would have to reveal five years of social media activity under new Trump plan to enter    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/10/tourists-social-media-trump
    • I would say - he did not share some part of "the profit" with someone from above )
    • Yeah, a complete failure all around. Only two individual quotas for men and two for women + mixed relay. Cortina looks like a big fat zero in the medal table tbh.
    • But yeah, as you said, their intention (if I have to guess) probably is to prevent Pan America from having 3 teams without going through the world oqt.  They were generous with the world cup qualification because it's in europe and with 16 teams but they won't be as much with their prime event.   Anyway, this doc is terribly written and could bring problems without an update.
    • IDK this seems like a big mistake on their part. They should have excluded Pan America from the first clause.    And also shoulda clarify if "highest placed" in the second statement means only champion or "highest placed not counting possible pro league qualified teams".
