Slovakia will win the medal in 400 hurdles, so you can be more relax

Rachel Richeson also won't advance. Only 2 of 4 Americans advance to the hammer throw final

Impossible. There at least 7 girls with better SB this year in the entry list.

 

A Final would be fantastic though

This one time, I was watching shot put at the world championships, and this Mexican dude got silver, despite 10 guys having entered the competition with a better SB (6 of which had an SB that was - mostly quite far - better than his PB as well).

Also, this one time, I was watching the marathon at the world championships, and this Mexican/British/American/Uruguayan lady got bronze even though 19 athletes entered the race with a better SB than her.

One thing I learned over the years as fan of sport, never trust our athletes when they have great season it almost always result in a flop and disappointement at the main major event of the year. 

 

One do not have to go back too far... Paris 2024 is enough to prove my words

Well if not you, I'll try and hold up hope for them then

Slovakia needs a breakthrough, like Vlhova once did in alpine skiing. A major individual who can win a few medals and generate media attention. Unfortunately, you're a small country and have to rely on a bit of luck. For example, Poland might have weaker metod of training, etc., but its big and large population will always train someone for a medal, etc. Anyway, Italy is the same thing, but we always lose to France at every Olympics anyway.
