Aurélie Tran in women's artistic gymnastics. Now, that's impressive. It's going to be gold, silver and bronze to the USA and Canada in all of the individual events. For the team event, I predict USA with the gold medal, Argentina in a comfortable position for the silver medal and either Mexico or Brazil with the bronze medal.

Where does it says that?

Women’s handball due up in a few minutes to get sporting action under way 

I didn't get a chance earlier, but wanted to thank @Dnlfor taking this on last minute and seeing it through the end. I also wanted to thank all those countries and users who voted for the Canadian entry!

Congratulations  @Hipooo 
Thank you  @Dnl for all of your hard work!
 
Also thank you to everyone who voted for  Greece and gave us 48 points! Unfortunately we finished in 29th place, although I am not surprised and personally I would not have given our song any points. We are one of the 15 countries that never missed a version of the song contests, however we are the only ones who never finished top 10. I hope this will change soon. I already have song ideas for both contests in 2022.

Canada and Sweden were by far my favourites. Those two and USA were the only ones I knew before this contest, although Czech Republic also sounded familiar. Canada @intoronto I always liked, although I knew the modern version from the movie "Cars" and did not know about this earlier version, and Sweden @Belle was a song that I enjoyed a lot during my teenage years and always gives me good/happy memories when I hear it.

Googled the Italians and this must be the only sport where they go from trash singing/dancing reality tv shows to (try to) become an Olympian. Usually it's the other way around, first they become Olympians and then cash in by making appeareances in reality shows.

Turkey defeated Denmark at the ECh The Turkish team have now 2 victory.

This tweet is misleading. This would ONLY be for a diplomatic boycott.

84 countries have qualified so far. With 4 more in qualification position:   and   which brings it up to 88.
 
Here are countries trying to qualify, especially in light of the rule change in Alpine skiing, no worlds championships requirements anymore.
 
has one alpine skier aiming for qualification
has one alpine skier aiming for qualification, just needs two more races under 160 points to qualify. 
has one alpine skier aiming for qualification, last race saw him finish just higher than 160, so perhaps its possible
 skier is training to comeback for Beijing, should easily qualify if he gets five races under 160. 
 
Other countries with alpine skiers trying to qualify, but a long shot to qualify atm:
  
 
 is also one spot out of qualification in women's skeleton. 

Colombia is missing in all the events. So at least plus one.
