NOC is surprisingly active in social media, but there is no content about their team... There are only officials posing for photos and a bunch of children doing some sport

officially confirms that only Maria Grozdeva http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2021-07/01/c_1310038616.htm Kamshybek Kunkabayev (Boxing) & Olga Rypakova (athletics) https://olympic.kz/en/article/21368-opredeleny-znamenostsy-olimpiyskoy-sbornoy-kazakhstana-v-tokio Lucca Messinas (Surfing) & Daniella Rosas (Surfing) http://www.coperu.org/noticias/eventos/los-surfistas-daniella-rosas-y-lucca-mesinas-seran-los-abanderados-en-los-juegos-olimpicos.html

According to the latest news, there will be athletes but the guys in charge are still talking about how they will limit it. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2021/07/01/olympics/summer-olympics/japan-limit-athletes-attending-olympic-ceremonies/

The final list will be released 5 july

Lucky you all We don't even know who will broadcast. Back in 2004 there is no one in Indonesian trying to get the rights (the private TV thinks the Olympic ratings are too low and the state-owned TV was too poor). Even the Indonesian NOC head at that time claimed that IOC warned him. One new cable provider broadcasted it but very few can watch the action. 2008 - 2012 our state TV managed to get it so no problem. In 2016, a media group with 4 free-to-air channels got the rights, but the actual broadcast shown is almost zero. Delayed opening ceremony (and they censored Giselle Bundchen legs too), prime-time soap operas squeezed in the middle of broadcast, abruptly cancelling scheduled broadcast. Remembering that year is making me angry (they have a free streaming platform with special channels but back then internet access is not as widespread as now) And now in 2021, we don't even know who has approached Dentsu for the rights

Updated as of July 2nd, 2021

Yes it is still 42 MS. 38 of original + 3 extra due to male players in multiple events (Yuta Watanabe, Seo Seungjae, Mark Lamsfuss) + 1 refugee place

accepted their quota (based on the latest update), if NZL somehow rejected the quota it will be given to

The badminton men's singles (Gergely Krausz) is like 95% not going. He depends on a slot which is only allocated if there are men players playing in more than one event. In the original list he was qualified but after BWF confirmed the other quotas, one Dutch men's doubles refused quota (he's retired) and GB/England selected Lane/Vendy instead of 2016 bronze medalists Ellis/Langridge (Ellis also plays in mixed doubles). This means there will be 2 less men's singles player and unfortunately it means Gergely Krausz and Emre Lale (TUR) is not going to Tokyo 2020 unless there are other men's singles withdrawing.

Judo will release on 5 July - from IJF website

Yeah the sentences are vague, but other articles mentioned Ese Brume is for the closing https://www.blueprint.ng/tokyo-olympics-team-nigeria-depart-in-batches/ The article from Nigeria Guardian is even more confusing, talking about "2018 Olympics in Russia". One thing to be sure is that Odunayo Adekuoroye will carry the flag

Ahh it's time for the pre-Olympics favorite activity Richarno Colin (Boxing) and Roilya Ranaivosoa (Weightlifting) https://inside.news/2021/06/24/tokyo-2020-le-binome-pour-porter-le-drapeau-mauricien-connu/ Odile Ahouanwanou (Athletics) https://africafootunited.com/jo-tokyo-2020-odile-ahouanwanou-sera-la-porte-drapeau-du-benin/ Emilienne Essombe Tiako (Wrestling) https://la-sportive.com/jeux-olympiques-de-tokyo-2020-joseph-emilienne-essombe-tiako-designee-porte-drapeau-de-lequipe-camerounaise/?fbclid=IwAR0Tu2q5wcUr0EKUyGI8eeUAl7CsdfchU5DNc18GLSks9IPWK86NlMAWk-4 Rustam Orujov (Judo) https://www.azernews.az/sports/180574.html Marie-Josee Ta Lou (Athletics) https://mondialsport.ci/jo-de-tokyo-ta-lou-marie-josee-porte-drapeau-de-la-cote-d-ivoire-15172.sport

We have half Rio Waida who qualified in surfing (his mother is Japanese and father is Javanese, his name in Kanji is 和井田理央). 5 players of our badminton team are Chinese descent so they must have grandfather/great-grandfather coming from China, but due to the discriminatory laws and bad archiving we can't have the exact record. They mostly don't even know their Chinese surname, so they just live with their invented Indonesian surnames.

A few months back the NOC head claimed we got a spot from reallocation. Of course I am aware she wasn't, and the athlete herself did not react to the news (her coach also said that she is waiting for further confirmations). But the whole media already hyped it and even the national news agency published the news. Our NOC head might be looking for something to save face

Not yet, the Indonesians haven't made a ruckus

Currently we have 42 MS and 43 WS which means there will be 14 groups for each singles category

Badminton England "controversially" selected Lane/Vendy over Ellis/Lamgridge, that means one less person in men's singles

Until 2004 there was 10 m running target

Out: - Boxing - 3x3 Basketball - Trampoline In: - Sepak Takraw (the usual one, not hoop and/or chinlone) - Bowling - Acrobatic Gymnastics And, to prepare in advance for 2024: I will kick out Breaking for sure

So far the NOC page only posted about her...

And for

Apparently has announced their 3 athletes: Imelda Felicyta Ximenes Belo and José João da Silva Viegas will represent TL in swimming, and Felisberto de Deus will represent TL in athletics. http://www.tatoli.tl/en/2021/06/26/ambassador-of-japan-and-sejd-celebrate-tls-participation-in-tokyo-olympics/?fbclid=IwAR2QpMjwSljJ1I9C0Mro3WDPGUMTCEB2bvH_6ZJHRD6BL7csEAft3hKh3oA
