Would also love to know your views on individual medallist of the respective events.

I'm hoping for to medal in mixed team recurve with Deepika Kumari and Atanu Das who married last year.

But which Uibo ?

Defending Olympic Champion Carolina Marin withdraws from Tokyo Olympics. She was the gold medal favorite this year too having reached finals in all the events she participated and winning 4 of them (4/5 tournaments this year) She'll undergo a major surgery. Wishing her a speedy recovery !

Interestingly we are looking at a scenario where a large part of Australian contingent will be in Japan well before the games. Towns that cancelled welcoming athletes were hosting sporting contingents of South Asia, France, Kenya, South Africa ,Lesotho etc acc to NHK. The town hosting some Poland athletes wanted hard quarantine before they train which is not feasible. So basically your country's covid handling throughout the pandemic and the local government will decide if you can train in Japan. I'm sure there will be discussions with the towns asking for a relaxation but I don't know how many of them will be successful. As of now it's Advantage Australia!

Now Perilli actually has medal chances. San Marino won the Mixed trap gold in Nicosia WC last year.

Home advantage should work for France in women's team. But for men's team quota be ready to beat US, Turkey, Spain and all those nations which I listed earlier , at the end of the day it has to be both a flawless and error less day .

Among these qualifiers Women could get team quota next month and free up a individual quota. The men's French team hasn't impressed me much and it'll be very hard tournament in Paris, I expect only as frontrunners. I'll post my prediction for that event when it starts. Moreover Archery is very unpredictable so anyone can win on a given day.

Women's individual Will be favourite for 3/4 quotas Will fight for the other quota.

Men's Individual Should be favourite for 3/4 quotas Could fight for the last quota. Dan Olaru of Moldova is good when in form. Senna Roos of Belgium isn't bad either.

6/8 qualified teams are from Asia. 7th is Australia and 8th is Great Britain. So basically someone will miss out from Spain, USA, France, Italy, Turkey, Ukraine ,Canada, Germany, Russia in team event.

They have got their full 6 quotas in recurve for Tokyo. And some of those compound archers are medal favorites in Tokyo Paralympics.

@Dunadan I don't know where is the confusion you have got.

Haha nice joke.

I like the Australian team, everything quick, be it reaching Tokyo, unveling Olympic kits, opening ceremony uniforms or anything else. Meanwhile the lowest recorded case in Japan since 19th April. Very likely more teams will follow soon.

Australia will become the first nation to reach Japan for Olympic Preparation . Their softball team reaches Tokyo tomorrow and will stay in Ota.
