Cristiano Ronaldo and Ali Daei

UEFA will remove the away goal rule from next season...

235 Judokas from 30 countries are having their Tokyo 2020 training camp in Šamorín complex in Slovakia these days and weeks I read that qualified judokas + couple of judokas from countries waiting for news about eventual reallocations like are having last preparation camps with possibilities of sparing bouts for Tokyo there now Insane how the Šamorín sport Bionix Sphere complex is really growing its name day after day ! The special Judo pavilion prepared for the international preparation camp in Šamorín Sports complexe

Great Olympic spirit rom Arthur Lannigan-O’Keeffe. I hope he recovers fine and can see him in Paris. However Alvaro was allocated a place in the original list, so he should have tagged Duilio Carrillo, who was confirmed today by both UIPM & COM So +1 quota for Mexico @hckošice @Benolympique

Only change in those events after the Canadian trials: Pickrem moves into 8th spot in women’s 400 IM with 4:37.03 I will post the top 8 for all events (relays included) at the end of the week (in case anyone is interested).

Can't confirm all the details yet but has never had a team with more than 80 in it and we will be over 100 in Tokyo (having 26 from Hockey and rugby helps...) The most sports we've ever been represented in has been 14 and we're at 19 so far.

Sara Slott Petersen and Jonas Warrer will be carrying the Danish flag

Everybody isn't impressed. Here's Annimari Korte telling that 30 km/h is her speed when passing the hurdles: (and to Swedish newspaper Expressen she claims that 13-year old girls can reach that top speed)

With the end of swimming trials, we begin with athletics on Friday. Events with Olympic ramifications to look out for Friday: 400m hurdles women: Noelle Montcalm, with a SB and win will move into 38th in the WR (top 40 qualify) Men's decathlon: Taylor Ehrhardt begins his comeback, with a lot of injuries the last few years. Will need a 600+ PB to get the standard to qualify. 400m men: Osei/Misner Daley need the standard to qualify, both off by just over half a second 100m women: Bingham needs the standard atp to qualify. She is just 0.01 off from her SB 100m men: Whoever wants to make the team needs the standard. Smellie is currently in a WR spot, the other two De Grasse/Boateng not competing. Long jump men: Jared Kerr is back, 8.14 PB, will need 8.22 to qualify 800w: Butterworth/Bishop/Kelly need good times (2:00) or less and a top 3 finish to clinch a spot Women's steeplechase: Yee/Butterworth with a top 3 finish and timings around their PB (9:31) should get them a WR spot, but they should honestly go for the standard to guarantee their spots.

Ma Jokića neću da komentarišem uopšte, nek timari konje i nek se tera u kurac, nebitan mi je postao totalno preko noći.

I know Ronaldo has all the records, and is the maximum scorer on national teams of all time (together with some iranian guy), and has all the fame, BUT to me this guy (our goalkeeper) is the real king of our football team

@mrv86 @Braulio Unfortunately our man Arthur Lanigan-O'Keeffe is injured and has to withdraw his quota but it's nice to see he is supporting your guy with some nice words for Alvaro (I assume it is he who will get his re-allocated quota?)

Good luck to them!

Nationals Women's 3000m SC Sisters Alicja and Aneta Konieczek have qualified with times 9:25.98 and 9:27:79

No idea if she's already healthy again. Last news about her was december 2020 (ACL-injury).

Would have been really nice for FINA and the South African Olympic committee to not put the Greek team through an emotional rollercoaster.

Not sure, usually they are one of the earliest to reveal, but since you asked, the quotas were awarded to Sawadogo Passamwindin Faysal (M -80kg) Farzad Mansouri (M +80kg) Naomie Katoka Kasumpata (W -67kg) Keila Avila (W +67kg) Source

Men Kasper Asgreen (Road Race & Time Trial) Jakob Fuglsang (Road Race) Christopher Juul-Jensen (Road Race) Michael Valgren (Road Race) Women Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig (Road Race) Emma Norsgaard (Road Race & Time Trial)

More WTA drama in Ostapenko vs Kasatkina QF. Lineswoman snitched on Ostapenko for telling "bitch" after a bad point. Then chair umpire fluffed the score in the final game in Ostapenko's favor (called 15-15 when it should have been 0-30). Ostapenko won the match in three sets.

In Sydney 2000 during a night live coverage they literally commented another sport ! The TV was showing swimming heats and the audio was from a Tennis match..nobody fixed that the whole hour !

Wow named 3-4 swimmers not expected to the team. The official team will come shortly

Would be nice and helpful. Thanks in advance.

20-year young William Shaner won the men's Air Rifle in the Osijek World Cup stage... Vladimir Maslennikov got silver and home Nation's hero Petar Gorsa won the bronze medal... not a good day for the Indian specialists, as it was not a good day for the Indian women in the same discipline (no one of them are in the final,where we have 2 Italians -and that's a big surprise)... women's 10m Air Rifle final is underway right now (live on Youtube)...

Men's Discus Throw Mykyta Nesterenko - 66.42 https://www.worldathletics.org/athletes/ukraine/mykyta-nesterenko-14230334 Men's Javelin Throw Huang Shih-Feng - 85.03 https://www.worldathletics.org/athletes/chinese-taipei/shih-feng-huang-14376089 Women's 200m Danah Hussein - 22.51 https://www.worldathletics.org/athletes/iraq/danah-hussein-14283410

Universiality update They give new quotas today: Men's 100m Women's 100m (Also, apparently women's universiality quotas in 100m dont take out athletes from ranking place)

haha, ok. Fixed.

Her name is Amira kandil this is just a mistake from that auto correct on my mobile

Yes. Ella Nicholas - K1 women slalom Jade Tierney - W K1 200m Kohl Horton - M K1 1000m

They announced a line up of UK presenters yesterday and the press release said "every minute" ofaction would be available on the Eurosport App and Discovery Plus. "Europe wide" was mentioned quietly at the bottom so don't know if it applies completely yet

Russian team is announced (only the mean's team) Freestyle 57: Zaur Uguev 65: Gadzhimurad Rashidov 74: Zaurbek Sidakov 86: Artur Naifonov 97: Abdulrashid Sadulaev 125: Sergey Kozyrev Greco-Roman 60: Sergey Emelin 67: Artem Surkov 77: Aleksandr Chekhirkin or Abuyazid Mantsigov 97: Musa Evloev 130: Sergey Semenov there will be a match between Chekhirkin and Mantsigov to determine the Russian team member in Tokyo. two time Olympic Champion Roman Vlasov is out of the race. Update: Chekhirkin beat Mantsigov 4-1 and made the team

Yeah, Csaba Sós said that he wants to give every eligible athlete a chance to gain some "Olympic experience". I think this has always been our mentality in sports where the qualification isn't as crazy hard and not really an achievement itself. I have seen a few naysayers who think that it's a waste of money, and while that's a fine argument against it, honestly, there are far worse cases where we throw money out of the window for sport events, like the crazy expensive World Aquatics Championships, or any of our new venues like the "largest handball arena in Europe" that nobody really asked for here, but we are still building it for ECh2022 and to rival with Cologne for the Champions League Final 4 hosting rights. Compared to all of that waste and corruption, at least the extra money we are spending on a larger Olympic team is for the athletes who worked hard over the years.

Ma to je sve sto su se oni uzvezdili i misle da mogu da rade sta hoce Ja se ne secam da je ijedan odbojkas ikad odbio da igra

I am sorry but I would strongly disagree with this opinion.... Every athlete is unique and has his/her own story .... It's like when someone from said that Dafne Schippers got injured and reply would be: Worry not, you still have dressage team as a medal contestant ...... P.S. no wishing anyone injury, just giving an example...

Thanks for the help @Gianlu33 wanted to do this from a long time. Btw you used Somalia flag for Solomon. And cook islands qualified 3 in canoeing and there are some 3-5 more judokas and sailors from PNG too.

Just realized he is competing for not

Ajde da shvatim Nedovica ali Jokic? Zena mu se poradja, konji se nece sami jahati. Mislim stvarno...

i dont think so, it only works when you draw all three games in the group, and then keep drawing (in the 90 minutes) almost every game until the end!

Well, the last team that barely qualified against us at the EUROs with a draw went on to win the whole thing. Maybe Germany is the next Portugal after all.

https://sports3.gr/ethniki-gynaikon-polo-psigmata-elpidas-gia-symmetochi-stoys-olympiakoys-toy-tokio/ According to this, there is still a chance that South Africa's women will withdraw and Greece will take their spot. The FINA president informed Greece about it during the World League super final which was just held in Athens. So now the Greek girls are still training (in a combined training camp with Canada). We even got two girls who didn't compete in the World League to come back to the team for this training camp.

no, they didn't return any quota place... they got an additional spot because there were no more athletes (Countries) eligible for the continental quota places and they (Bellandi and the Korean, I mean) were the highest ranked fighters left out according to the overall standings (all classes in each gender)... basically, it's correct to say that ITA and KOR got reallocated spots from CQP...

Huge kudos to Iran for holding their own. This dual flag bearer idea really just removes individuality of the athletes and reduces them to their gender... It's patronizing and presumptuous. And all that to appease that tiny minority which obsesses over stuff like the exact gender count.

Amazing story for Marie Horáčková. Her mom Barbora represented Czech at the Beijing Olympics but passed away 3 years ago. Her daughter follows her footsteps and I am pretty sure it's gonna be her to be names for the Olympic squad!!

So incredible for Evangelia Psarra to make it once again! She is going to her sixth Olympics! Only two other Greeks have also gone to six Olympics (one in sailing and one in shooting). In a sport where Greece is basically nonexistent, she has been flying our flag for two decades. Really proud of her. I didn't expect her to make it this time but so happy she did. She is 47 years old and made her Olympic debut in Sydney when she was 26 and never missed the Olympics since. I think she said that if she makes it to Tokyo this will be the last time for her. What a nice story.

Sławomir Napłoszek (born in 1968) who qualified for Tokyo today in men's archery particated in olympics previously in Barcelona 1992. So it was 29 years ago... I think it is a record achievement in Polish olympics history, And I guess it will be also one of the bigest gaps in wordwide olympic history.
