Slovakia will participate in Table Tennis for the 4th time since the independence and 2nd time in a row. And just like in Rio 5 years ago with the same amount of 3 players, 2 of them returning.

Atlanta 96 (1), Beijing 08 (1), Rio 16 (3) & Tokyo 2020 (3)

 

Wang Yang and Barbora Balážová will return to the games for the second time after their Rio olympic debut. Tokyo will be first careers Olympics for Ľubomír Pištej.

 

The 30 years old Wang Yang, Naturalized Chinese, is citizen of Slovakia from 25th May 2011.

In that year, he was accused at the Junior World Championships of being 4 years older and had to withdraw from the competition. Later he managed to clear himself and prove his age. Later, the International Table Tennis Federation in fact recognized Wang's age after confirmations from the Chinese authorities, and successful confirmating blood density test.

Wang Yang debuted at the Olympics for Slovakia in Rio 2016 (For London 2012 he was the first reserve, but without any returned quota, he and Slovakia missed the Games) after a bye in the preliminary Round he defeated Marcos Madrid of Mexico 4-1 in the 1st round but sadly lost to future quarterfinalist Quadri Aruna from Nigeria in round 2 (1-4)

Wang Yang secured his spot to Tokyo as first Slovak Table Tennis representative by winning one of the 4 quotas at the World Qualifying Tournament in Qatar earlier this year.

 

Barbora Balážová, 29 years Slovak Table Tennis ladies number 1 of the last years is also going to return to the Olympics after her debut in Rio 2016. "Barbi" won her opener game after the bye in the pre-round, 4-0 over Yadira Silva of Mexico. But just like Wang among mens lost in the 2nd round after a never-ending thriller to Li Fen of Sweden 3-4.

This time, she is going to compete in 2 different events, apart the W Singles in which she qualified easily from World Ranking, she will play alongside her long time doubles partner Pištej in the very first Olympics Table Tennis Mixed Doubles competition.

 

Ľubomír Pištej is the only debuting Olympian in our Table Tennis delegation, a bit odd, since he is the oldest player (38) and most experienced currently active slovak table tennis player. In Tokyo he will play with Barbora Balážová in the Mixed Doubles Olympic premiere. Fresh European Championships silver medalist from last week in Poland, Balážová/Pištej will be seeded as number 6 for the 1st round (Round of 16).

 

One last fun fact.

Balážová/Pištej were selected :SVK sport persons of the month June 2021 (in the Slovak national public RTVS monthly - niké športovec mesiaca - show) so are the last SVK athletes before the Olympics with this precious award.

How does the draw work for team events. Will they just follow the ranking (which one) 1-16, 2-15 etc?

I think there are 8 seeds, the rest are unseeded.

    • Here's the first update of my medal predictor for alpine events using results up to the World Championships.   - As per Olympic rules, only the four best athletes per nation are currently considered in the simulation (until NOC confirms who is competing or an athlete is ruled out of the Olympics due to injury/ban/etc.) - For the combined event, I just took the best performing athletes from each nation in the downhill and slalom events and simulated their combined performance. I then proceeded with the 2nd, 3rd and 4th best athletes for the nation (if applicable) - Each event is simulated 1000 times and the medalists counted. Eventually I plan to do a 10,000x simulations for more robustness, but as I may still tweak the formula I don't want to waste processing time each time I run the simulation. - While I did include the chance for an athlete to DNF the race it is currently a flat rate for all athletes. This currently benefits certain athletes which are well known to DNF races more often than expected.   Overall, this showcases the unpredictability of the sport and the accuracy difficulties predictors like GraceNote have when listing only the top 3. Looking at the percentages, for many of the events you'd actually only expect 1/3 to actually medal more often than not.   I want to create predictors for the other sports so I will only update this periodically.   Men's Downhill Rank Nation Name Gold Silver Bronze Total 1 Marco Odermatt 18% 13% 11% 42% 2 Franjo Von Allmen 17% 12% 10% 39% 3 Alexis Monney 11% 10% 8% 29% 4 Miha Hrobat 9% 9% 7% 25% 5 Cameron Alexander 8% 9% 7% 24% 6 Vincent Kriechmayr 7% 5% 8% 19% 7 Dominik Paris 5% 6% 7% 18% 8 Justin Murisier 6% 5% 6% 18% 9 Daniel Hemetsberger 4% 4% 4% 12% 10 James Crawford 3% 4% 4% 11%   Men's Super-G Rank Nation Name Gold Silver Bronze Total 1 Marco Odermatt 30% 16% 11% 57% 2 Stefan Rogentin 11% 11% 10% 32% 3 Raphael Haaser 10% 9% 11% 30% 4 Vincent Kriechmayr 7% 11% 10% 28% 5 Fredrik Moeller 7% 10% 10% 27% 6 Franjo Von Allmen 7% 7% 7% 21% 7 Mattia Casse 8% 6% 7% 20% 8 Cameron Alexander 6% 5% 6% 16% 9 James Crawford 4% 4% 4% 13% 10 Dominik Paris 2% 3% 4% 9%   Men's Giant Slalom Rank Nation Name Gold Silver Bronze Total 1 Marco Odermatt 22% 12% 10% 45% 2 Alexander Steen Olsen 15% 13% 9% 37% 3 Loic Meillard 11% 11% 8% 30% 4 Henrik Kristoffersen 8% 9% 9% 25% 5 Thomas Tumler 5% 7% 7% 19% 6 Zan Kranjec 4% 5% 5% 14% 7 Luca De Aliprandini 4% 5% 5% 14% 8 Lucas Pinheiro Braathen 4% 4% 6% 14% 9 Stefan Brennsteiner 3% 5% 6% 14% 10 Atle McGrath 4% 5% 5% 13%   Men's Slalom Rank Nation Name Gold Silver Bronze Total 1 Clement Noel 31% 16% 9% 55% 2 Atle McGrath 11% 13% 10% 33% 3 Henrik Kristoffersen 11% 11% 9% 31% 4 Timon Haugan 8% 9% 10% 27% 5 Loic Meillard 8% 10% 8% 26% 6 Manuel Feller 8% 8% 9% 24% 7 Linus Strasser 5% 5% 8% 19% 8 Lucas Pinheiro Braathen 5% 6% 7% 18% 9 Fabio Gstrein 3% 3% 5% 11% 10 Kristoffer Jakobsen 2% 3% 5% 10%   Men's Combined Rank Nation Name Gold Silver Bronze Total 1 Marco Odermatt 29% 16% 12% 57% Loic Meillard 2 Nils Allegre 20% 15% 12% 46% Clement Noel 3 Vincent Kriechmayr 13% 13% 12% 37% Manuel Feller 4 Franjo Von Allmen 9% 12% 10% 31% Daniel Yule 5 Alexis Monney 6% 8% 8% 22% Tanguy Nef 6 Daniel Hemetsberger 6% 7% 9% 21% Fabio Gstrein 7 Dominik Paris 4% 6% 6% 15% Alex Vinatzer 8 Adrian Sejersted 3% 6% 5% 15% Atle McGrath 9 Fredrik Moeller 3% 4% 6% 12% Henrik Kristoffersen 10 Cyprien Sarrazin 2% 3% 4% 9% Steven Amiez

    • Just to rephrase what I meant, there's no doubt they will dominate in general, I just feel that the Biathlon results might be weaker this time around.
    • even lost to but nobody expected miracles. TVP Sport crew said their view at the range was obscured by a giant flag
