:SVK Peter Sagan out ??? Knee injury from TdF

Young Lukas Kubis will replace him, at least cool for a rider from a small team to get a chance like this :d 

 

And always sad to see any athlete having to miss the Olympics due to injury, especially someone of Sagan's stature. Even though he wouldn't really be one of the favourites on what is basically a hard mountain stage, he'd probably at least try some fun in the early breakaways or something, seeing how attacking he often is.

Jack Haig is also out, probably not very surprising. Still a shame though, he could have had a decent chance considering this year's Bahrain performances.

Last 14th sport in which Slovakia will participate in Tokyo 2020.

 

Slovakia never missed the Road Cycling competition at the Olympics since its independence, but never won any medal.

Atlanta 1996 (7 athletes 5M+2W), Sydney 2000 (4, 4+0), Athens 2004 (2, 2+0), Beijing 2008 (3, 3+0), London 2012 (1, 1+0), Rio 2016 (1, 1+0)

 

This time the country qualified via UCI Olympic qualifying ranking of 2019 Two quotas for the men competition.

 

The federation logically picked our biggest sport star Peter Sagan to compete at his 3rd olympics, and for the first time to have actually a teammate to help him in the race, he immediately chose his older brother Juraj Sagan.

 

Sadly, Peter will not be able to compete, the former 3 back to back times road race world champion and 7 times Tour de France green jersey winner had an accident during this year edition of Tour de France, it appears at the end to be more costly than we secretly were hoping.

 

Knee surgery last Sunday made it all clear. Peter wanted to represent, the Olympics are basically the only triumph he still missing in his CV and wanted to have fun alongside his brother representing Slovakia at the Olympics. The medical staff was strict and uncomprimising. No olympics, was the verdict.

 

So yesterday, our cycling federation announced the name of his substitute. It will Lukáš Kubiš (yesterday was also decided he will be the one representing the country in Time Trial, Juraj Sagan will go  only for the road race, the leader of the team for the road race will be designed at the team meeting in Rio.

 

Lukáš Kubiš 20 years old slovak cycling talent, was yesterday 13th of July 2021, the only happy slovak cycling and sport fan you would found. He received the official invitation to replace injured Peter Sagan in Tokyo. What a moment for the Dukla Banská Bystrica rider to experience his olympic debut already at such young age. Lukáš has some experiences with such event but at the junior level, he will be our sole Buenos Aires 2018 Youth Olympics athlete in Tokyo. Lukáš was also selected to represent Slovakia in Time Trial instead of Juraj Sagan who will now focus only on the road race.

 

Juraj Sagan the 32 years old brother of our sporting world super-star Peter. Bora-Hangrohe rider, known for his endless and devoted work as a "domestique" for leaders in the peloton is going to his first careers Olympics. He expected to work hard in the Road race for his brother and then focus at himself in the time trial. Last days events sadly changed the whole situation, now Juraj will not have his brother with him in Rio and will compete only in the road race, where he is expected to be the team leader.

:ROU Grosu of all people is entered for this demanding, mountainous one day race...

 

I get that Romania lacks depth, but to enter a walking DNF just like that is quite sad...

I wasn’t aware there was a set order for team cars at the Olympic Games. It makes sense; it’s just one of those things you don't really think about. Anyway, here’s the team car order for the road races.

 

Women’s Road Race: https://olympics.com/tokyo-2020/olympic-games/resOG2020-/pdf/OG2020-/CRD/OG2020-_CRD_C68_CRD-------------------------------2.pdf

Well he is our best cyclist, we could have sent Tvetcov but he is in bad shape or Dima but the result would have been the same. Definetly not a chance for Grosu in this race but he also started the world championship in Imola with a similar route.

    • 2028 Team Size Projection – Jan 2026 Update   Here’s an update to my 2028 Team Size Projection. While I touch upon major events changes may occur due to results in smaller events. Additionally, several sports released their qualification document so there may be cases where I have to update the projection. I will only include sports where there is an update.   Here is the link to the updated sheet.     Aquatics (Water Polo) The Men’s European Championships saw take gold. The victory moved Serbia up a few places between European nations. With that said, no one fell out of Olympic qualification with the likes of France and Romania still on the outside looking in. remains on the edge.   Athletics (Marathon) Both the Xiamen and Osaka marathons were held this month along with a few other smaller events. While there were a few changes in the rankings, in terms of Olympic projections gains an athlete in the men’s marathon at the expense of   Badminton Major tournaments include the Malaysia Open and India Open. New updates which affected projections include the women’s doubles where overtook . As Polina Buhrova is also scheduled to compete in the singles event, an additional spot has been open. Other changes in the women’s singles was loses one of their quotas. and benefit from those losses.   Indonesia’s loss on the women’s side is offset by gaining a second player in the men’s singles. This puts   on the outside.   Canoeing The qualification document for both Slalom and Sprint were released/updated. No significant changes were found in the Sprint update. Slalom had significant changes relative to 2024 where the initial quotas will be decided by rankings and kayak cross will now have significant quotas being allocated. After adjustment, the following nations lost a quota; Andorra, Chinese Taipei, Ireland, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Slovakia, and Sweden. The following nations gained a quota; Canada, China, France, Italy, South Africa, Spain, and Tunisia.   Cricket The Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier was held. No changes to the projection.   Equestrian (Dressage & Jumping) Various World Cup events were held. No changes to the projections were made.   Fencing We had two Grand Prix this month, one for epee and the other for sabre. In men’s epee, overtakes . On the women’s side, the United States moved into the top 4 in the team ranking, pushing Estonia down to fifth. This pushed out of Olympic qualification while takes the Americas quota. This caused a downstream effect on the individual side as Ukraine takes an individual quota and Canada relinquishes their quota, additionally, gained a quota while lost one.   In men’s sabre, now takes the Asian team quota pushing down to just an individual quota. No changes were found in women’s sabre.   Handball Four men’s continental championships were held this month. finished top in Africa while a couple of upsets were saw in South America and Asia where and won over and respectively. Despite their wins, they currently haven’t leapfrogged into being projected to qualify. We’ll see how they perform at the World Championships.   Europe saw finish fourth. This was enough to push it into Olympic qualification projection. They pushed out.   Rowing The qualification document was released. There was a change in boat allocation relative to 2024 and the continental qualifier was slightly different than what I projected. Additionally, I assumed coastal rowing would allow 2 men and 2 women to compete in its three events, but the max is 1 man and 1 woman. This has caused significant changes to the projections.   Overall, the United States lost four quotas. Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, and Spain lost two quotas and Algeria, Argentina, Croatia, Cuba, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Portugal, Tunisia lost one quota.   The following nations have gained two athletes; Japan, Morocco while the following nations gained one athlete; Angola, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Cote d’Ivoire, Denmark, Estonia, Kuwait, Latvia, Mexico, Romania, Philippines, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Togo, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu   Rugby Sevens Fixing a couple of mistakes. First on the men, actually has the Asian quota over and in the women as is essentially shutting down the program, I think it is only right to remove them until they decide to compete again. This means is also projected to qualify.   As for new updates, we saw the third tier SVNS compete, which brought no new updates and the Singapore SVNS. I also didn’t add the Dubai or Cape Town SVNS in my calculations. For both, while there was some shuffling no one ultimately fell out.   Shooting The Asian Shotgun Championships were held this month. A few top shooters were missing. The only change to the projection is is set to qualify in women’s trap, pushing out   Squash The Tournament of Champions was held this month. Additionally, the qualification document was released. There was some restriction as to how many nations can send two players and this sport will offer universality quotas.   The following nations lost an athlete quota; Colombia, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand. The following nations gained an athlete quota; Canada, Pakistan, Spain (x2), Switzerland, Ukraine   Triathlon The qualification document was released. There are a few changes relative to 2024. Projection changes include: Losses to Hong Kong and Slovenia and gains for Austria and China.   Weightlifting The qualification document was released. One change to be made was the reallocation process for host nation quotas. Due to this, El Salvador Iraq, Palau, Sri Lanka, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu lost quotas while Australia, China, Dominican Republic, Iran, and Samoa (x2) gained quotas.   Wrestling The qualification document was released. There were some significant changes to the qualification process including using the world rankings and the final qualifier only consisting of non-qualified nations. The projection changes are as follows; losses to Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, and Turkey.   Belgium and Lithuania gained 2 quotas while American Samoa, Austria, Estonia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Latvia, Madagascar, Spain, and Turkmenistan gained 1 quota.
    • Looks like we in the Philippines are in the same situation. No news yet on whether we’ll be able to watch the Games 
    • Cricket is any day in a better position than Baseball, Modern Pentathlon or Rowing 8s globally
    • http://i.imgur.com/gLJZbix.jpg   Honestly football is just on another level. For other sports, an expanded field or creating multiple host cities likely only works with baseball, cricket and maybe basketball, and only in very specific countries.
    • No streaming for the games in India. I contacted IOC they just sent me a list where the games will be shown live.    Last games we had the Olympic channel and YouTube showing the live coverage for regions with no media rights. This time sadly no such schedule.   So much about making the games accessible to all...
    • What revealed those files of Epstein !!!! thousands of scandals , horrible diguisting things mixing politic criminalities , robbery , scam , manipulation...etc    all those celebrities of shht that you love   
    • I wonder if instead of having flexibility around what sport to add there should be one or two team sports per game with an expanded field (of 16 or 32 or w/e) where the host gets to pick which which team sports (if any) has an expanded field.
