The Italian delegation by sport can be found here: http://www.tarragona2018.coni.it/it/discipline.html There are 27 Olympic medallists: Basile and Giuffrida (judo), Galiazzo (archery), J. Rossi and Pellielo (shooting), Paltrinieri (swimming), Longo Borghini (cycling), Pizzo (fencing), Chamizo (wrestling), Battisti and Venier (rowing) and a lot of water polo players, both men and women, who were at Rio 2016. It looks like a very serious delegation. There's also a detailed calendar (in Italian) by date and sport: http://www.tarragona2018.coni.it/it/programma-gare.html (I have no idea where to find a detailed calendar on the official site of the Games)

Very happy for my second silver medal in a row and happier that I still first in the general standing (thanks to @Dunadan's absence) Great job @Wanderer (keep the pace with the results and the schedule it's quite demanding) and congrats to @dcro About the tennis contest I already told my opinion and I have been the only one to speak so I think that this should be the only tennis contest for this year.

Well, Belgium has a province named Luxembourg, and yet they are not bitching about that to

Greece and Macedonia agreed with something, USA and North Korea agreed for somethings tonight as well, what is going wrong with this world? We miss only an agreements between Armenia-Azerbaijan and Russia-Ukraine

The FINA claims that they don't recognized the announced International Swimming League. https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1066171/fina-send-letter-urging-members-against-supporting-rival-swimming-league

Portuguese delegation: 233 athletes http://comiteolimpicoportugal.pt/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Tarragona2018.pdf Some sports are in good force with the best competing: Canoe, Judo, Triathlon, Swimming, Shooting, taekwondo Some are with 2nd and 3rd line athletes: cycling, table tennis, tennis, golf, Sailing... Some are a mix: Athletics is a good example... Some major major gaps: no one competing in the half marathon? where we had the women European gold and bronze in the last European championships? There are some good athletes but no real major ones, exception to Patrícia Mamona that is the European champion in Triple Jump, 6th in the Olympics, but she just comes from surgery so who knows... Best medal hypothesis in terms of sports will be by this order: Judo, Canoe, Taekwondo, Triathlon, and Shooting I think.

Pretty sure it’s a rule that every team needs at least one American player.

Oh My "I go out at 8:30, so, I should get up at 7:30. Me at 8:20"

Things left to do for peace in the world: Agreement between Armenia-Azerbaijan Agreement between Russia-Ukraine Agreement between Georgia-Russia Agreement between Israel-Palestine Defeat ISIS in the Middle East End of local wars in Africa Overthrow communism in Cuba and Venezuela Uncensorship internet in China Did I miss something? What do you think, anything of this is possible?

It's a bit surprising that many countries like or even don't have a proper idea of their youth athletes. May be as things get more clear within a month with all qualifiers we could expect Joshmaartini007 to predict a medal tally for the games

It should be nothing with 8 teams in the first place

Turkish Team for Tarragona. A Team in almost all sports. 1 Turkish Cypriot and a lot of African athletes in athletics. http://olimpiyatkomitesi.org.tr/Olimpiyat-Oyunlari-Detay/127/1 Btw ; http://olimpiyatkomitesi.org.tr/Sporcu-Detay/10441 WTF

Let's allow Australia and other Oceanian nations to take part in Asian qualifications For me it should be like this: 1. Host country - Japan 2. Winner of WC 2019 3. Runner-up of WC 2019 4. Bronze medalists of WC 2019 5. Winner of Asian/Oceanian QT 6. Winner of American QT 7. Winner of African QT 8. Winner of European QT

I think that only all-around is competed. Probably we'll have Baldassari with gold, Agiurgiuculese with silver and Aleksandra Podgorsek (Slovenia) with the bronze medal. Not sure if Axelle Jovenin (France) or Polina Berezina (Spain) have the nerve (and the talent) to challenge for a medal, but we will see.

Oh, I didn't knew about, then yet Poland, Montenegro, Croatia and Romania will qualify

Magia delle azzurre che conquistano per la prima nella storia il mondiali di basket 3x3 Le italiane si sono rese artefici di una autentica cavalcata ed hanno perso solo una partita nei gironi contro la Repubblica Ceca. Dopo aver battuto gli Stati Uniti le ragazze hanno vinto anche la semifinale contro la Cina all'overscore grazie ad un tiro fuori dall'area di Filippi! In finale le azzurre hanno letteralmente demolito la Russia. E ora siamo qui, sul gradino più alto del mondo, godiamocelo!

But Africa is the best.

Actually Claudia's story is "interesting" She's a basket player turned athlete actually. She played with Spain in an U17 World Championships before because she has double nacionality, but because she played with Andorra in the 2011 Eurobasket C U16, she's only eligable to the Spanish rooster as the "nacionalizated" spot, Because of Spain also having Astou Ndour at the same age, she wasn't going to international competitions so she switched to Andorra again. So she's a pretty decent level basketball player actually

The problem is that ITF, WTA, WADA and other NOCs are accomplices of this shame! It's unbeliveble that the only NOCs that appeals against a absurd 2 months ban is Italy... I hope that all other NOCs will do it in future

One of the more fun excuses out there, sort of on the same kind of page as the medicine for a bigger dick and contaminated pigeon meat.

That tortellini story is amusing.

Alright, Serbia is going down

Such global representation.

Not if the vote goes my way

I'm amused with Greenland hosting the event.

I'm waatching the FIBA America U18 Champs, USA-Panama and guess what, USA just finished the 1st quarter 43-0 ?!!!!!!! I don't know if it happened before or this is a record. but at least I don't remember such thing. based on previous results they were not supposed to lose like that !

Vou adotar o Canarinho Pistola como foto oficial de perfil aqui, mesmo dps do clima de Copa Já conquistou meu coração assim como os mascotes do Rio 2016

Medalha surpreendente, diga-se de passagem!

In the Soccer Aid charity match in Manchester England 3 Rest of The World 3 England won 4-3 on penalties The actor David Harewood (Homeland, Supergirl) saved 2 penalties in the shoot out before Haydn Christensen (Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader in Star Wars) missed the deciding penalty Juan Veron, Clarence Seedorf and Robbie Keane scored for the world team. Micheal Owen, Darren Bent and freestyle footballer Jeremy Lynch for England. Usain Bolt and Mo Farah played against each other.

Not to outshine your post, but for me this is still one of the best

Here are my predictions based off of 2017 results. Note, not all events had world championships/equivalents, biggest being women's boxing and equestrian. Weightlifting has been adjusted due to many nations missing out (though the nations missing out aren't compensated). Also nations with only one medal chance have been rounded down to 0 and I have not excluded any athletes which have retired. United States - 102 Russia - 61 China - 60 Great Britain - 46 France - 44 Japan - 43 Germany - 37 Australia - 30 Italy - 29 Canada - 26 Netherlands - 26 Poland - 24 South Korea - 22 Hungary - 21 Spain - 21 Ukraine - 18 Brazil - 16 New Zealand - 15 Belarus - 12 Czech Republic - 12 Turkey - 12 Cuba - 11 Switzerland - 10 Denmark - 9 Iran - 9 Kenya - 9 Serbia - 9 Sweden - 9 Colombia - 8 Georgia - 8 Mexico - 8 Azerbaijan - 7 Belgium - 7 Croatia - 7 Jamaica - 7 Uzbekistan - 7 Ethiopia - 6 India - 6 Kazakhstan - 6 Lithuania - 6 Mongolia - 6 Chinese Taipei - 6 Greece - 5 Norway - 5 Romania - 5 Slovakia - 5 Slovenia - 5 South Africa - 5 Thailand - 5 Austria - 4 Bulgaria - 4 Portugal - 4 Bahrain - 3 Dominican Republic - 3 Egypt - 3 Estonia - 3 Hong Kong - 3 Israel - 3 Morocco - 3 North Korea - 3 Trinidad and Tobago - 3 Venezuela - 3 Argentina - 2 Armenia - 2 Bahamas - 2 Botswana - 2 Chile - 2 Ecuador - 2 Finland - 2 Indonesia - 2 Ireland - 2 Latvia - 2 Malaysia - 2 Qatar - 2 Singapore - 2 Tunisia - 2 Vietnam - 2 Albania - 1 Cote d'Ivoire - 1 Cyprus - 1 Eritrea - 1 Fiji - 1 Guatemala - 1 Kyrgyzstan - 1 Moldova - 1 Montenegro - 1 Nigeria - 1 Puerto Rico - 1 Tajikistan - 1 Turkmenistan - 1 Zambia - 1

oooh those conflict will never finish , i don't believe on peace

I'm already tired of this meeting between Trump and Kim, literally in every our media journalists talks only about this, they doesn't care about any other news, even local
