9 swimmers officially selected. Looks like they've used the relay team to get Brendan Hyland into the butterfly event. Shane Ryan listed as a relay participant too. Only 2 relay only swimmers

QUALIFICATION UPDATE

 

 

Swim Ireland today announced a team of 9 swimmers to represent Ireland at the Tokyo Olympic Games. Joining the 6 already selected swimmers will be Brendan Hyland, who received an OST invitation from FINA. Swim Ireland confirmed that this invitation proved crucial in ensuring that Ireland could field a men's 4x200m freestyle relay team because per rules a nation may only enter 2 relay-only swimmers in the event. It is for this reason that Swim Ireland approved Brendan Hyland's invite, contrary to the usual policy position of refusing such invitations.

The two relay-only swimmers have been named as Jack McMillan and Finn McGeever.

 

In addition, some of the OQT swimmers on the team have been approved to swim in a second event in which they had achieved the OST standard. Full details of the events the Irish team will participate in can be found below.

 

 

That means we now have secured 116 athlete quotas (61 men and 55 women) with representatives in 72 events, across 20 different sports.

Thats a surprise. Really thought they would select Ian O'Sullivan.

 

Disappointed in that to be honest.

QUALIFICATION UPDATE

 

 

Athletics Ireland today announced their finalised team of 25 athletes and 2 alternates who will represent Ireland at the upcoming Tokyo Olympics. The selection confirmed Leon Reid's participation in the men's 200m which had been in doubt. It also settled the matter of the mixed relay team nominations with Phil Healy, Sophie Becker, Cillin Greene, Chris O'Donnell, Robert McDonnell and Cliodhna Manning named as members of the relay squad.

 

Meanwhile, Olympic veteran Derek Burnett has been officially nominated to represent Ireland in the men's trap shooting event in Tokyo. It will be the 51-year-old's fifth Olympic Games, having competed previously in 2000, 2004, 2008 and 2012. He equals the record of most Olympic Games appearances by an Irish athlete, currently held jointly by Olympic medalists Robert Heffernan (athletics) and David Wilkinson (sailing).

 

That means we now have secured 116 athlete quotas (62 men and 56 women) with representatives in 72 events, across 20 different sports.

Just replied in the other thread. They’ve said it’s a squad of 25 with 22 names as individuals  

 

So the relay team is Healy + 3 (and 2 alternates). Suspect they’ve left it like that deliberately…

Yes just saw your reply. Well on this thread we will stick to what the OFI are counting and I will bring the athletics quotas back to 25.

 

Meanwhile Nhat Nguyen has learned his group for the men's singles badminton. He is in Group F with number 10 seed :TPE Wang Tzu Wei and :SRI Niluka Karunaratne. Not a bad draw for him and hopefully he can get a victory under his belt.

    • WWE introduced two new Women's Championship belts. The first one introduced was the Women's United States Championship and not shortly after that the Women's Intercontinental Championship. The Women's US Title will be exclusive to SmackDown and the Women's IC Title will be exclusive to RAW.
    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
