30 athletes

19

Meanwhile it sucks for me when there is an Asian Olympics... Basically I have to play cat-and-mouse with my boss and the supervisors for 2 weeks My Olympic watching history: Beijing 2008 - school vacation; enjoying the full broadcast London 2012 - basically up until midnight to the point my father pulled the plug of the TV Sochi 2014 - only the morning events Rio 2016 - college summer vacation; enjoying morning and night session Pyeongchang 2018 - still an intern, basically nothing to do so I can enjoy it quite a lot

named Lee Zii Jia (badminton) as their male flag bearer replacement

Meanwhile Khairul Anuar Mohamad will step down from the flag bearer role as he is focusing on mixed team competition https://www.bernama.com/en/sports/news.php?id=1977242 Also Carlos Yulo to reject the offer from his NOC, with officials claiming the flags are too heavy (I know they wanted to keep him fit for the 1st day of gymnastics competition, but hey at least say something better lah )

Fabrizio Zanotti (Golf) and Veronica Cepede (Tennis) Agnis Čavars (Basketball - 3x3) https://sportacentrs.com/tokija_2021/05072021-latvijas_karogu_tokijas_os_atklasanas_cer

Oui

@Vektorthe NZ player rejected the badminton quota, thus making Gergely Krausz getting the quota instead

Apparently there is one replacement surfer for Indonesia will be brought to Tokyo too.

also confirmed it 12 athletes contingent https://download.rtl.lu/2021/07/02/bee3dfaaef0cfa82adcae8b3d14373a9.pdf

will have 28 after confirming extra universality quotas in athletics (+1) and swimming (+2) https://www.antaranews.com/berita/2238690/indonesia-kirim-28-atlet-ke-olimpiade-tokyo

The damned media group from 2016 is rumoured to get the rights for Indonesia again, looks like I have to pay for a decent VPN this time

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.
