The thing is, even if you have a team traveling requires money. Most of these countries have very limited funding for sport and even some that have it may think it's just not worth the spending.

Basically all our boxers have to fight a cuban in their QF bracket Viva la revolucion!

Yes, you can totally predict a shoot off for gold using data

1 No 2 More 3 Covid

This serbian ref just handed us one of the most stupid red cards in history! Regardless, our team is pathetic. But not like I was expecting much better.

Is that an argument for anything? It's not like we don't get fed with american sports through a thousand movies...

There is no match for 5th place, right? this is a very important game for bet contest then.

Poor Or Sasson got Riner in R16. And then Bashaev in QF...

Apparently Neisi Dajomes (weightlifting) has had mixed covid test results while training in Spain. They will do final testing tomorrow to see what is the true result but she will not arrive to Tokyo for the opening ceremony (she's flag bearer)...

gosh, worst possible draw for our men's doubles who are our best hope... Murray-Skupski and then Mektic-Pavic if they win

It's not that strange, they probably were desperately trying to find funding until the last minute but couldn't gather it.

No hay mucho que decir, muy bueno todo la verdad.

They have the shot put guy who was 4th in WCh but he got covid recently I believe so he may not be in best shape.

Had not watched softball since panam 2019, forgot how boring it is. Specially when your prefered team has the pitching turn after wasting the chance to score, you just want to go watch something else

I work in a school and I'm so lucky that this week and the next one we have the annual two-week winter break (it was the same for Rio). I want olympics in late July forever (except if someday we host).

I don't fully get the joke but judging by the banners this seems to be the pic of a celebration rather than a protest just saying in case your intention was showing the latter.

To some people: remember the deadline for the bet contest is today (or let's just say in 16 hours) and not saturday like for most other contests

Our building: Women's volleyball team in front of it:

That's not really the obvious, it would be very surprising if no european team wins a medal.

Almost all our delegation has arrived to the village with no problems except for the 49er fx crew who got involved in the good old "flight close contact" nonsense and had to stay 3 days locked (they are back training again but they will still be monitored until the 23rd).

I would like to know what was said exactly...

I didn't watch that game in particular but stats suggest it was a completely even game: https://tms.fih.ch/matches/14920 Regardless of that: 1. It was just one game, of a tournament that gave "olympic preparation" vibes more than anything. 2. They have lost only 2 official games in this cycle, none of them to Germany. 3. Thread is about safest medal, not safest gold. They will 99.99% win a medal.

Don't worry, nothing of that will give you an advantage over people here. There's just too much information circulating in this forum already. We have an specialist in almost every sport, we made dozens of prediction threads, dozens of tables and polls...

Lmao what is this smug post, go there and beat us mr. Knowledge
