India had trained well for the competition but not allowed to board flight to Amsterdam to reach Poland due to covid cases in India! How bad is that? 

Triathlon. It is the most interesting in my opinion
 
btw I loved the new picture @Fly_like_a_don Now, I will get thirsty everytime that I see your posts 

It's hard but not impossible. Jeremy is 18 still ,he was 16 when qualification started for Tokyo but he needs to do a huge PB. 

Well that's tipically Aida. Since 2016 Rio Games she has been hit/miss and well most times missing than hitting. Unfortunately she is very inconsistent and her results since 2015 prove that. I think that she is still on the team because of her career achievements but I doubt she is our top 2 archer right now and could well be surpassed by any of the younger girls that are now pushing her. Alejandra Valencia is another issue, she looks to deliver under big pressure but just can't seal the deal in that last arrow 
 
 
 
 
 

If World Archery isn't kidding, the World qualification tournament will be held before last World Cup stage, so that means no Russians, Koreans, Brits, etc, which better the chances of both squads.

It's my personal choice and I don't know federation's preference. And there must be some internal trials again but not that crucial as this public one. Lyu Dayin and Kang Yue are also injured but they fight for their tickets with full strength. For me there is no excuse to grant a free pass for those injured with self-claimed potential. But again it's just my personal consideration.

Prithika is just 16 years old. I think by 20 or 24 she could be the one of the best table tennis players in the world. She was born in Pondicherry, India which is a French colony and like many others  studied in a French School and later went to France and settled down.

yes, it's wrong...
 
this is the official qualification sheet by IWF (paragraph B5):

I think that's clear enough - I believe @MHSN also read those as references
 

She's really injured for a long time and we don't know how's her recovery situation. She's a veteran lifter and had no secretes for rivals. Hope she good luck in coming 3 months.

Doesn't look like many cares for rythmic gymnastics but well I had to give at least 1 poll to the sport. Expect a strange poll tomorrow something which none of you would have expected! 

thanks for the info...
 
don't underestimate the Russian shooting school...they can always pull the rabbit out of the hat when it really matters...
 
in any case, it's just an option among many others...

I have no idea hahaha
 
Anyway, I voted for the indian girl, because looks she is strong. And to give an incentive to Fly to keep these excellent pools till Olympics haha
 
For Mens 10m pistol, I hope to get another medal for our only brazilian in Tokyo on this sport.

the old one but this is not final, results from the the Polish tournament will be counted too

Is there a mathematical formula that should be used to determine what rate of infection makes it either acceptable or unacceptable to hold the Olympics?
 
Sports leagues all shut down when the pandemic started because no one could be sure how to hold events and games safely.  We've largely learned how to do that in the past year with increased testing and the proper health and safety protocols in place.  And if it weren't for money and all the television rights, we probably still wouldn't have sports.
 
It can easily be argued that it's a reckless and irresponsible decision to hold the Olympics this summer.  But the IOC wants their television money, so if that means the Japanese organizers have to put measures in place to best ensure everyone's safety, they'll do that, even if it's going to cost a lot of money.  In hindsight, perhaps it would have been wise for Tokyo 2020 to get pushed back another year (although that would have brought another set of challenges), but too late for that now.  It's 2021 or bust at this point.  Just because COVID is still out there does not imply there cannot be an Olympics this summer

No it's not. Chinese have 15-40 kg lead in all events. Only 49kg it's less. And India won the CJ that's a gamble that won't be taken

We here in India already understand it and are celebrating India's 1st gold assured on day 1 

Sport climbing, probably because I am not a big fan of extreme sports such as scateboarding.

Surfing is very extreme, but also interesting and ..... exciting sport! Surfing also, I like the waves - except they are too big and dangerous!
