South Korea did great job not only by naturalizing some players but also making a strong team. 7 foreign players cannot make a good strong team. If you read about current chinese national team or at least list of those trying to make chinese national team, many of them are foreigners who were given the exception to hold 2 citizenships (China normally does not allow this) and trying to make the national team. What I checked last time, there are many naturalized Canadians and Russian. But as far as I know, none of them made it to any major league. So I guess they may be some kind of village league players which is surely enough for chinese national team but surely not enough for WCH division A or Olympic tournament. China has promised some stuff they will achieve before the Olympics but nothing happened. In my opinion, IIHF and COC must make some kind of deal about it. Otherwise, it will be a huge shame for the whole country. At least chinese people would feel a big shame about. They have way more chances in other sports. That is where they should focus during the upcoming Olympics. And they should leave ice hockey to those who can actually play and deserve to play around the rings way more than some unskilled chinese players or naturalized village league foreign players.

That is great! Cheering for you, brothers Slovaks !!!! Btw, the same or similar I can say about Sprint Canoe. The system has been very great since 2012 when we took first medal after a long time. Unfortunately generation change and our K4 did not make it to the Olympics. And it also seems that ladies are on the rise. Denisa Řáhová in canoe and Anežka Paloudová in kayak and the youngsters are also building 2 and 4 women/men boats. Hopefully, it will be even more interesting regarding Paris. As for current qualified boats. K1 1000 - Dostál, K2 1000 - Dostál/Šlouf, C1 1000 - Fuksa. C2 1000 - Fuksa/Fuksa. I believe all boats have a great potencial for Final A in Tokyo and fight for medal.

Bro, you have 5 boats in final in total. I mean, you must make at least one boat qualified ???. This Gamjager girl looks good!

After 4th race. I dare to say 90% sure that the quota will go to

Agreed. But you can see how fear is playing with people's opinions...

Interesting theory. As I said above, China take prepare for such event in a very short time. Just Chinese government would most likely be against opening borders. They would probably allow only those with biological passport which is still in process of making...

Agreed on this. Was thinking of London, too. But logistically impossible. We got around 70 days to go..... As for China. They would definitely love to accept as I know them. They are able to prepare such event in a very short time. Big problem is the covid situation and government would most likely not open the borders....

Well, I just wanted to bring a bit funny topic instead of sharing how much are Japanese against the Games...... ???

Let's start a bit crazier discussion ??. What would you guys say about venue change for the 2021 Summer Olympics. If so, where it may happen? ??.

Nádhera!! Obrovská gratulace!!! Nakonec budete ve všech kategoriích. Vždy je nesmírně náročné bojovat jen o 1 místenku. Velká gratulace!!

Konečně mu to vyšlo!!!!! Český zápasník Artur Omarov se kvalifikoval do Tokya!!!! Obrovská gratulace!!!!

Omarov finally made!!!! After missing out on London 2012 and Rio 2016 by only one match in both previous Olympic qualifications, he finally made. He deserves it a lot! Big congrats!!!

Sorry, forgot to write this discipline. Yes, Javelin.

European Throwing Cup 2021 Andrian Mardare - Javelin Throw - 86,66 m - NR

Gratulace! Teď ještě, aby někdo z holek vyjel místenku v C1 :-)

Ondřej Teplý - nice first race. Close to the top. But the and fellas will be tough. Hope dies last..... Com'on !!!!

Well, she has been through a lot in her career. For me, I don't know whether to believe in her doping or not. But in my opinion, I think if she took something, unwillingly..... I think she will reach the standard.

I can't believe what happened to Adéla Three posibilities to qualify for the Olympics and at every single each of them she needed one match to qualify for Tokyo. And at every single each of them she lost the most important match........ Hell of a bad luck ......

Don't forget, some gymnasts are considered too old at the age of 20 ..... Apart from Chusovitina. She will never be too old

????? has all 12 boats in the semifinals ???????

Tak buď Tajmuraz musí doufat v re-allocation and nebo se připravit na Paříž :-) ....... Btw, koukal jsem na jeho zápas. Jestli jsi to viděl, neměl ten 4 bodový chvat být náhodou pro něj?

Thank you, I kinda missed this information!

Are you sure about this? I remember this rule was during Rio 2016 or at least a bit similar. But I also read somewhere, can remember where it was that this rule is no longer valid .....

I am sure she has to earn a ticket for K1 event. Couple Olympics back, for example if there was K2 qualified but no K1, the country (competitor) could have decided whether it's worth to compete in K1, too. For now, you have to earn a ticket as far as I know. Just imagine that you have qualified for K4 but not for K2. So you would be able to build 2 boats for K2? I don't think so ...... In the past, maybe...... Now, not. It is same in athletics. Just imagine that you qualify full relay but nobody for the individual event. So logically thinking, you may send all 4 competitors also for the individual competition. But qualification system says 'NO'.
