Let's start guessing who are the flag bearers for USA. I feel like LeBron will get it since he will likely retire before L.A , and maybe Biles after her issues in Tokyo (or perhaps Nikki Hiltz since we know USA need to DEI everything)

Probably shouldn't answer for the Americans. As we will probably win medals every day. Starting day 1 with swimming The biggest chance is day 7 in judo with Raz Hershko, some chance in day 2 or 6 in judo Day 8 in floor gymnastics I don't believe Gorbenko brings a medal. I can see us winning 2 medals. One in judo and one in gymnastics. Hopefully one gold with Dolgopyat

Andrea Murez (Swimming) & Peter Paltchik (Judo)

don't want to go to Paris, but the next one is in my city, so definitely planning to spend too much time and money on it (already warned my wife). Will support, as always

Guessing they wanted to allow all NBA players to participate

Are they still the no1 gold contenders? (assuming Biles is fully healthy ). And Biles the main Individual All Around gold contender?

אני לא בטוח. עדיין לא לקחו את כול המקומות לרוסים. ועדיין לא הגיע הזמן לכול המדינות לקבל את המקומות. יכול להיות מצב שבו מישהו מבטל והכרטיס עובר לישראל. אבל נגמר הזמן לעשות קריטריון. כול התחרויות העפלה נגמרו. רק נשארו תחרויות כדורסל

לפי ויקי, בלסינג אפריפה נכנס ב 200

אני חושב שיכולים להכנס עוד כמה באתלטיקה. היום נגמר הזמן לעשות קריטריון. אבל יש דירוג עולמי שיילכו אליו אם לא ימלאו את כול המקומות

Looks like second round England vs Netherlands and the Quarters again Italy.....

speaking of anthems....

Do someone think that Anastasia Gorbenko 🇮🇱 have a realistic shot at a medal? Our media pushing her as first realistic shot at a swimming medal, I just don't see it if she swam 3 seconds slower then the winner of the U.S trials

I'm in the Sepulveda basin area and it's about 29c which will get hotter. Palm Springs area (where Indian wells is) is 38 and it's gonna be way hotter in a month. Hence. Hell on earth

Is it ? I guess it's also 20 degrees cooler then hell on earth palm springs. So never mind that

Baseball is very obvious to dodger stadium. Flag Football or Lacrosse can go to Carson after or before Rugby. Or UCLA

Very interesting. After swimming in Lucas Oil they saw how awesome it can be and want to take it once step further I love that some more fun sports head to Sepulveda Basin, 10 minutes away from my house. It's good that gymnastics moved to Staples Center but now I hope volleyball moves to the forum. It's way too far in orange county. Though Honda center is a much better facility If they moved equestrian to Temecula, why is tennis still in carson?? Indian wells is one of the biggest tennis stadiums in the world. Granted it's going to be hotter then hell there but Temecula is not far away from there

Is Medvedev allowed to participate in Tennis? I saw 3 others that were not but his name is not on that list

In the 2023 worlds Titmus won by 3 seconds. Ledecky just got older since. I would love her to win and get us another gold but let's be realistic. 800 and 1500 is more realistic for her

I love the NBC swimming commentary team. Still think that 400 free women will be tight in the Olympics. Titmus is so above Ledecky it wouldn't even be close.

I do not understand much in cycling, i do watch the Tour de France every year, so can someone explain to me why Vingegaard is not in the olympics?? he's a 2 time tour winner!

Salt Lake

Why is stage 18 Hilly but stage 19 is Flat? the diagram of both stages looks almost identical

What is the competition format in the 2 new classes? i was looking at the full schedule and see something called windsurfing marathon, and only 3 days for the kite, but cannot find any good explanation anywhere

What an amazing summer for the Israeli soccer teams. 3rd place in u20. Semis In u23 and now ticket to the Olympics. The sad thing is that it will never translate to the adult teams and we will keep missing the euros and the world cup

I wasn't really paying attention to qualifying yet. What's the status of Russia and Belarus ? I know IOC wants them to participate but are they in any qualifications events in any sports ?
