 Simone Anzani, another Italian stopped by the NOC for heart problems.

Big blow for the men's volleyball team.

At least good that his heart problems were spotted in time...

Italy has history of volleyball deaths.

I still remember Vigor Bovolenta. Such a great player. 

I am glad that doctors did good work with Anzani, health is more important than Games.

not only volleyball

 

however, Anzani was already stopped last year (he basically lost the entire 2022/2023 season, as he already underwent a cardiac ablation surgery a year ago)

 

then, at the beginning of this season he was allowed to start again by the same doctors that now stopped him again

 

here in Italy the rules about professional sport activity are very, very strict when it comes down to heart condition (we did even stop a double Olympic champion going for an historical repeat like Domenico Fioravanti just a few months before Athens 2004)

 Jordan Schnitzer (volleyball)

 

Injury hasn’t been specified, but while watching one of Canada’s VNL matches the commentator mentioned it. Huge hit to our team

 Alejandro Davidovich (tennis) has been replaced by Jaume Munar at men's individual competition due to a back injury.

I don't know where to ask this, but is there a list for all the Olympic Champions that won't be returning to defend their titles?

For various reasons of course. Could be retirement, injury. 

 

For Serbia, most of our medalists from Tokyo won't be coming back. 

Including Gold medalists:  

 

Milica Mandić Taekwondo (Retired)

Jovana Preković Karate (Obvious Reasons )

Most of the Men's Waterpolo Team (Retired after games) 

 

Our two gold medalists from Tokyo will be back (Ntouskos in rowing and Tentoglou in long jump), also we have three other gold medalists from Rio who will be in Paris (Stefanidi in pole vault - got 4th in Tokyo, Korakaki in shooting - got 6th in Tokyo, Petrounias in gymnastics - got bronze in Tokyo).

i don't think there is one. I had started doing it on my own a couple of weeks ago but then left it at half the sports (and surely there are lots of mistakes and things that should now be uptaded with selections. And I didn't consider team sports unless the whole team is missing)
