The biggest differences will be in (naturally, due to being a youth tournament) Men's Football. Only 5 teams will be making a return (BRA, HON, MEX, JPN, KOR).

Men's wp will probably be the same with the exception of Japan (x KAZ). In all other team sports events we are already assured of at least one different team (excluding the host quota).

The refereeing in this sport is terrible, just like in Handball. Fouling and exclusion rules aren't very consistent, the referee can make one team win if he wants to.

Del Potro lost and showed signs of injury

Brazil Field Hockey, Qatar Handball. For Argentina nothing new, Badminton remains only sport we have never participated in.

What was the reasoning behind the people who wanted to keep the flag?

Really? I don't see much space left from the aerial pic. Or you mean pitch 2?

Hockey Centre is ridiculously minimalistic.

Again bad draw for Del Potro in Miami R2 vs Federer. He will never grow in ranking like this

Well, whatever small dream our handball team had for Rio is over: Diego Simonet broke his cruciate ligament and is out for 8 months.

Again with this question... There will be quarterfinals, just check anywhere that isn't Wikipedia.

American qualifier is over, 5 quota for us. Good job.

And why you care? it's not like boxing has few quota compared to many other sports. 22-28 per category and there are many chances to qualify, global and continental. If a country cannot even qualify 1 with these favorable conditions, then there's nothing to do. They should wait for a tripartite then.

Hasn't anyone noticed how Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern make the quarterfinals every year and they NEVER draw each other in this phase? lol, suspicious at the very least.

Well, 3/8 for us in semifinals. Martínez (-52), Melian (-56) and Peralta (-91) are qualified for OG. Only Blanc (-49) and the girl Sánchez (-60) are out of OG, the other 3 losers will have chance in 3rd place match.

8 argentinians in semifinals... hosting this event was the best decision our NOC has made in years

oops confused.

Two things: First, there is continental quota in only in 4 categories. Second, in singles there are 9 WCh quotas and 3 additional for Europe, the strongest continent. In Lwt doubles there are 11 WCh quotas and 2 additional for Europe. So, if you are european, you can qualify as long as you are among the best 12/13 in the world. We can't say the olympics haven't the best competitors.

Juan Del Potro, unless a miracle happens.

Palmetta is still in QF though. I forgot about Espindola who also is in semis.

Both Melian and Peralta in semis I think both will qualify now. I hope we can get one girl too (60kg).

1 - Volleyball 2 - Football (not at the olympics, but I have to be sincere) 3 - Handball 4 - Hockey 5 - Archery

So far this year everyone is in terrible form so 3-4. 1 or 2 team sport, 1 individual and 1 surprise.
