Nicole van der Velden (Sailing)

and for Nova Sport at 04:00 and STV 05:00 what a mess...
but I think the ČT schedule should be the correct one, as I know your TV coverage from olympics is usually great and profesional.
 
I just don´t understand the fabulous idea of our TV to postpone the olympic studio at midnight and the opening ceremony at 1 am because they suddenly got a idea that a James Bond film from 1969 or so will be the best option at 22:10, when the whole planet is preparing for the Olympic Games  https://www.rtvs.sk/televizia/tv-program?date=2016-08-05  just scroll down

The moose has moved in lol

That room looks perfectly fine too me. Some media will write anything to make hosts looks bad.

Now that we have entry list.
 
Team dressage - Germany favourite for gold, followed by Great Britain. Bronze probably between Netherlands, USA and Sweden, with Dutch being the favourites.
Individual dressage - probably between Charlotte Dujardin and the Germans, outside chances mainly for the Dutch, Ferrer-Salat (ESP), Vilhelmson-Silfven (SWE) and the Americans
Team eventing - Germany should be in front. Other teams to look out for are New Zealand, Great Britain, Australia, USA and France. Dark horses could be Ireland and Netherlands (Dutch are bronze medalist from 2014 WEG but their chances are not looking too good when either Alice Naber's or Theo van de Vendel's score will have to count , they really do miss Elaine Pen..).
Individual eventing - Michael Jung (GER) they say, although he is not that unbeatable this year apparently. Others are Auffarth (GER), Klimke (GER), Fox-Pitt (GBR), Tattersall (GBR), New Zealand's Mark Todd and Jonelle Price, USA's Clark Montgomery, Australia's Shane Rose (and Chris Burton), Sweden's Ludwig Svennersatl (who defeated Jung last month), colonel Vallette from France... A lot could depend on the cross-country course.
Team jumping - I see Netherlands, France, USA and Germany, followed by Great Britain and Switzerland. Sweden and Canada could be dark horses. Ukraine and Brazil also, their quality is a bit "unknown"
Individual jumping - this is just way to open , basically every big team has couple of good candidates. But let's mention Steve Guerdat, the defending champion, who is a bit of an expert for the big stage events and also McLain Ward from the USA, who is having a great year with new horse Azur...

Great. She will decide next week. Why not in opening ceremony? Deadline was on Monday.

Because the FBI totally let Marion Jones off the hook and covered for Lance Armstrong...
 
There is zero evidence of state sponsored dopping in the US.

Key points:
The Moscow Laboratory operated a state-dictated system for doped athletes, that the Sochi lab operated a sample-swapping methodology to allow Russian athletes to dope at the 2014 Winter Olympics, and that the Ministry of Sport oversaw the process, with participation from the Russian security service. McLaren: “the system was set up following the 2010 Olympics, and was in place until 2014. It allowed the transformation of a positive result to a negative one, overseen by the Deputy Minister of Sport. The Ministry of Sport, Rusada and the FSB were involved in this process”. McLaren confirms that positive tests “in every sports discipline” were passed to the Deputy Minister of Sport, Yuri Nagornykh. McLaren adds that Nagornykh “decided who would benefit from a cover up and who would not be protected.” McLaren also says Russia manipulated samples during 2013 world athletics and 2015 world swimming championships. McLaren says that the investigation has proved “beyond a reasonable doubt” that this took place, assisted by the FSB, the Russian federal security service. McLaren adds that evidence of tampering on the inside of bottle caps was present in all samples tested. McLaren has said that the report’s key findings have been proven “beyond a reasonable doubt”, and that the evidence is “verifiable”. “I have unwavering confidence in the report”, he adds. "Russian athletes from the vast majority of summer and winter Olympic sports benefited from the Disappearing Positive Methodology" (Via Rob at GB)

I don´t know which countries already validated their teams, and sorry, but I really don´t have so much time to click in all 206 NOC websites and search there if they officialized the team. I has also some else things to do.

In a few minutes we have the start of the IndyCar @intoronto  (in Toronto, that is)
