India has recently started to harbour ambitions of hosting the Olympics probably 2036 hence. Is IOC too firm on Jul-Aug window, so will this go against India's bid as its the monsoon season. Sporting events in India are typically held in Nov-Dec or Feb-Mar

Sharath-Manika to face third seeds Lin-Cheng in first round.

Anyone playing the fantasy game

Not a fan of Sony Liv at all. Many shows and movies including some Olympic documentaries can't be viewed on TV app but only on desktop or mobile. Also it was hanging too much in yesterday's India-Sri Lanka match

There is no controversy in tennis at all. Rohan Bopanna is just trying to make noise. Has he ever bothered to read the qualification document. Did they never know that Divij Sharan would have to improve his ranking significantly to have any chance of qualification. AITA did the right thing by trying to enter Sumit Nagal as Bopanna's doubles partner as qualification favours singles players

Will the draw be streamed anywhere

For Mixed Doubles and Teams, Rank 1-8 are seeded and rest and unseeded. https://www.ittf.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Tokyo_2020_Table_Tennis_Sport_Specific_FINAL.pdf

Yup 31 entries so far in Men's Doubles https://event.itftennis.com/media/319254/319254.pdf

Sumit Nagal it is Can Rohan Bopanna still qualify with Sumit as partner. Not observing many withdrawals in doubles

How good are Jourdan Delacruz and Beatriz Piron

I think draws of all combat sports will be out after the weighing. Eagerly waiting for Table Tennis draw though

Preparations at Olympic village https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/tokyo-olympics/daily-tests-cardboard-beds-24-hours-at-tokyos-olympic-village/articleshow/84366005.cms

PM Modi will interact with Tokyo bound athletes at 5pm, 13 July. The event will be aired on DD News. The event can also be watched in below link https://pmevents.ncog.gov.in/

Bhutan - 4 Archery - 1 Shooting - 1 Judo - 1 Swimming - 1 https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=351932166297734&set=a.199674024856883 Maldives - 4 Athletics - 1 Badminton - 1 Swimming - 2 https://www.facebook.com/OlympicMDV/photos/a.674699219247119/4391977684185902/

I am one of those who never had trust in archery team. Deepika Kumari did take help from a sports psychologist. Don't know how much it has helped https://www.mykhel.com/more-sports/deepika-kumari-appoints-sports-psychologist-aims-medals-at-tokyo-olympics-065963.html?story=3

Archery minimum is zero, never had hope on Deepika Kumari. Athletics minimum is also zero as even as top javelin throwers like Magnus Kirt and Andreas and Hofmann aren't participating there are many still good throwers. Boxing maximum can be increased to 3. Hockey too is a not sure-shot medal. Although Shooting a sport of fine margins, India can look to win many medals here. The World Cup in Croatia was just a blip hopefully.

In Doubles, except for the Pan American, African and Oceania pairs, all of them are fairly competitive. But perhaps there should be 8 seeds instead of 4 to make all the groups fairly equal

In all the doubles events there shall be a draw for the knockout matches. This is done because of the match fixing controversy in 2012

A vs B (dummy group) C vs D, E vs F and so on

Olympic Badminton Draw is out Men's Singles: Sai Praneeth is in Group D with Mark Caljouw and Misha Zilberman. The match against Caljouw is tricky but Praneeth should win. He is then expected to meet Ng Ka Long in the Round of 16 Women's Singles: PV Sindhu is in group I with Cheung Ngan Yi and Ksenia Polikarpova. Again the match is tricky but Sindhu should win. She is expected to meet Kim ga Eun in Round of 16 Men's Doubles: Perhaps the toughest draw as Satwik-Chirag pair are in Group A with Minions, World no 3 Lee Yang-Wang Chi and Sean Vendy-Ben Lane.

Can you post early predictions of the quarter-finalists of all the events
