Vondroušova out due to hand injury 🤕 🤕. ..... Waiting for replacement announcement....

When will be the draw?

So the swimmer who have achieved OQT can enter multiple events? I noticed Daniel Gracik is on the list of 100m Freestyle too but he didn't even achieve OCT...

Well, then it seems that 8 is still tops. In this case, the heat squad and final squad would be totally different..... I think the US always included one very strong runner in order to make sure they can actually make it to the final 😁😁

How many athletes you can sign up for the relay event? I remember US 4x400m relay had 7 athletes in Tokyo who were signed up and all received the gold medal. Does this rule remain the same or they have cut the amount of athletes who can enter the relay?

Now, quickly back on clay 😁😁😁

has announced that they are opening the Olympic house in PARC de la Villette Anybody from our friends knows whether it will be opened to public? On Houseparty website they haven't written.... https://www.houseparty.blog/post/volia-space-by-ukraine-5-things-we-know-so-far?postId=b5d1127a-f470-4cb1-b2a1-51f7480390a7&utm_campaign=88c3a424-d18a-41fe-a9df-059cbdde80ff&utm_source=so&utm_medium=mail&utm_content=3f42961c-36cb-4c61-931b-87e9998f645b&cid=078dde29-3a29-4c24-930c-0d2fb7126ebd

Just read about Sifan Hassan who wants to try break a record of legendary Emil Zátopek 😲😲. She will participate in 1500m, 5000m, 10000m and a marathon and wants to attack 4 gold medals 😲😲

By the way, Siniakova and Nosková have signed up for Prague Open as well. Probably Siniakova and Krejčíková will also practice there the doubles cooperation .

Can't argue with that. But the final will most likely be on July 26th and first round of singles in Paris is 27th and 28th. That would be really tight. Transfer to Paris, rest, physio, training. No time for these things. From my point of view, if she made it to semifinal in Prague, she might be considering withdrawal and transfer to Paris. She probably wants to take a few games on clay as a preparation for the Olympic tournament.

That's gonna be interesting.....

Barbora Krejčíková mentioned that she will play in Prague open which is from July 20th in order to adjust to the clay. Well, she has reached Wimbledon semifinal, I am wondering if she would not get too far and get too tired...... Or maybe like play in Prague, if she goes to quarter or semi, then withdraw, transfer to Paris, have 1 day off and play?

Please don't tell me Wayde is not going to Paris 😭😭

Jiří Beran has announced that it will most likely be his last tournament as ending the career at the Olympics is the best you can possibly think of .....

Both Czech cyclist will also participate in Time Trial. I was also surprised.

The same amount of athlete and same names are officially announced by Czech IOC. I have checked ....

team currently matches updated list in wiki https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czech_Republic_at_the_2024_Summer_Olympics

Czech media mentioned how it would be if there are any other reallocations in any sport. As they say, all sports have been finalized. And if there is an reallocation due to any reason, it must be approved by 4 parties: NOC, IOC, Paris 2024 organizing committee and the international federation.

Yes, officially announced Miroslav Trunda and Miloslav Příroda.

I see. Well, I was considering him as a dark horse for a medal in decathlon. It's pity. But I guess in long jump he's got higher chance to win a medal.

So he won't participate in decathlon at all? Or he just put it "on the side" and will decide later if he participates or not?

I am honestly surprised by steeplechase reallocation as Habarta was 5th below the line and suddenly he is 4th above the line 😲😲😲

Cool, a silver medalist from Athens. Would be cool to have another medal when they would be 20 years apart!! Wish him good luck 🤞 🤞

True, read about that, that other also have another standard. Honestly, I think Seemannová take 100,200 FS as her main events. If she decided not to participate in one event I guess it would be either butterfly or medley....

That's really interesting. Was waiting whether Barbora Janíčková could get the invitation, too. As she does not have OQT neither OCT but she won a silver medal in 100m freestyle at the ECH in June......
