There's quite a big difference between those two things..

 

Maybe it'd be helpful to put a * next to the name of people who didn't announced their retirement yet, but only said it will be their last Olympics? Because one can say "I will quite after the 2018 world championships", which means it's the last Olympics, but really means nothing about retirement yet..

Also in team sports, there might be some who "retired" from their respective national teams but did not quit competitive sport. This is the case for example for the aforementioned Gabor Kis of Hungary in water polo (he will not play any more for the national team but continue playing for his club)

Kayla Harrison is going to UFC in the footsteps of Ronda Rousey, Maya Di Rado going to school even though her swimming career really just began. And why i have the feeling that Usain Bolt will pull a phelps and will come back for tokyo

I believe no one has explicitly announced retirement. Some possible announcements might come soon from Margarita Mamun (Russia), Fabian Hambuechen (Germany) and Vanessa Ferrari (Italy). I'll keep an eye out for news about Vasiliki Millousi (Greece) and Jessica López (Venezuela), both of whom might retire as well. Aly Raisman and Gabby Doulgas (US) will most likely take some time off. Has Ellie Black said anything about retirement? I hope she continues until 2017. She has a real chance at a world championships medal and I want her to win one!

 

Mustafina, Paseka, Barbosa and Daniele Hypólito said they will continue. Surprisingly, Chusovitina has said she will compete at the World Championships in Canada, in 2017. I really admire her.

 

Well now we have a retirement, :GBR Ruby Harrold

Douglas is out, she was already brought just as a bar specialist and a novelty story, dont see her trying to make it to tokyo. Raisman will probably stay quiet until the 2019 worlds, however i dont think also that she will come back, not with finally getting an individual all around medal.

    • Right now  Spulber and  Ipcioglu are even on points but Ipcioglu is ranked ahead by one position. If Spulber moves ahead they no longer need a D.2 quota, Turkey only gets a D.2 quota (drop to one) and then continental cup ranking would determine the final quota. Unless the FIS does something strange like they briefly did in September and give a country 2 quotas in D.2.
    • Just realized that there are no 50km or Relay races in the World Cup season leading up to the Olympics, and the 50k is only contested once in March in Norway.  (I'm new to following Cross-Country skiing, but I would have thought athletes would have had some 'warm-up' competitions before the Olympics during the season. Also, I could be wrong...but I didn't see these events in the WC schedule.)
    • For those looking to re-live the glory days of the 2025: https://www.olympics.com/en/news/2025-olympic-sport-review-highlights-year-duplantis-shiffrin-pogacar-mcintosh
    • 20 nations are qualified on the men's side right now (even without China). Canada is only in bc Boyd-Clowes has resumed his career.   There is no nation count limit indeed, I only counted the qualified athletes' nations (20 for men, 16 for women).
    • Well, half of this is not true.There is no minimum nation count - even less nations were expected by FIS ski jumping higher-ups than there are qualified now. The last 4 quotas for men are for NOCs with one or none athletes qualified. So we should complete 3 super teams and get China with one ski jumper in the men's individual competitions.

    • I think it depends on the sport.    On one hand, I admire the meritocracy of trials for Dutch speed skating or US athletics... but I don't think it's necessarily a recipe for optimal results forcing athletes to run the gauntlet at incredibly competitive trials, then turn around and try to peak again in short order at the Olympics.  It's something Canada does for our curling teams, and I think it's been a big part of the reason we've underperformed internationally more than one would expect. The successes we've had I feel are largely in spite of the qualification system, not because of it. Granted curling is a much different sport, but in it's case and it were up to me, I'd do like Sweden or GB, select the team the prior season then let them properly plan their seasons around the Olympics and preparing properly... rather than needing to peak for trials, and pouring whomever survives onto a plane for the Olympics a few weeks later For speedskating, I like the Canadian system. It's a mix of international results and trials. The medal contenders largely have their spots sewn up, so trials are a none-issue... and the rest are mostly just making up the numbers, so a heavier weighting on trials results is fair enough as no one else in that situation has done enough to solidify their position prior, so might as well play the hot hand. The Dutch having such incredible depth would obviously need to set the pre-qualification bar higher, but I don't think it would hurt them. But then again, their entire system is build around performance on demand... and that's produced great results, even if a few Ted-Jan Bloeman's wash out along the way
    • Volleyball World are doing a countdown to the new year with a list of the best players for 2025.    Here is the men's top 10 with two places to go: (which are Michieletto and Aleks Nikolov)   1. ??? 2. ??? 3.  Simone Giannelli 4.  Jakub Kochanowski 5.  /  Wilfredo Leon   6.  Simeon Nikolov 7.  Fabio Balaso 8.  Aleks Grozdanov 9.  Jan Kozamernik 10.  Patrik Indra  
    • After 2006, Fabris was never as so good again... But Fabris also never had such successes outside the 2006 Olympics than the current Ghiotto...
