oh, c'mon! we don't need to be like Qatar or Bahrein...we don't need to go shopping in places where there's no sign of a true connection between those people and our Country
 
one thing is trying to take advantage of all the athletes with Italian heritage grown up in other Nations, but just "buying" Russians or Africans here and there to win a couple of medals here and there, no thanks! 

Maldives 
 
Ibadulla Adam (athletics, 100m) & Fathimah Dheema Ali (table tennis)
 
Dheema Ali is IIRC the first athlete from the Maldives to qualify for the Olympics without the need of a universality quota, she won the South Asian table tennis qualifiers.

This venue might be my favorite of the bunch 
 
 

I can’t wait to show you my beautiful country and our beautiful capital of Paris. I hope you will be satisfied with our opening ceremony 

Joan Cañellas  handball player, was injured in a friendly match against Norway last Tuesday. He will be replaced in Paris by Jorge Maqueda.
 
It should be noted that he was due to retire after the games 
 
 

Muy merecido España!!
 
Felicitaciones!!

One of the finest!
 

IOC keeping basketball tournament at 12 is by far the biggest shame regarding quotas. This is going to be probably the best international tournament in history of basketball. I'm not overreacting. And it wouldn't be any different if 4 more places went to countries like Lithuania, Slovenia, Bahamas etc..  And I don't care for 3x3 even when it's going to be our probably safest medal at the games. 
 
Having men's football at 16 glorified youth competition with no relevance in the world of sport and basketball at 12 is a joke. 

Being champion or not, Spain is the best team of the tournament.

07.00 Wake up, have breakfast, perhaps check out the last things I hadn't yet from the day before, prepare my schedules for the day, make sure phone and tablet are charged, and so on
 
08.00/08.30 Turn on the TV and the streams on the devices and start watching the Olympic day
 
23.00 Turn everything off and go to bed
