This is also what I am concerned. Being flag bearer is kinda emotional burden for athletes. So I will not be surprised if we choose some “random” athletes to be flag bearer and all others absent.

First Chinese delegation, sailing team arrived in Japan.

It should be 41 official athletes, 46 with alternatives. The cycling should be 5, there are 3 team members not deciding which two are official and who is alternative, but at least two of them are official. @Benolympique

I know except Judo, China will win medals in other 4 sports. But I guess most probably we don't win a medal in Judo, maybe W78+kg with a little possibility.

Is Japanese guaranteed 4th seed as long as they are on the draw?

It also specifies the horse. Do they allow to change the horse after arriving Japan and make decisions based the condition then?

Popovici just finished 47.30s with WL today. Big congrats and please send the recipe to Chinese men’s team ASAP. Ours doesn’t work any longer and we are eager to improve 1s faster in 15 days.

Pretty easy prediction. Mine is as follow and wanna see @Griff88's prediction: Women's Single: Chen Yufei - An Se Young Nozomi Okuhara - He Bingjiao Sindhu - Akane Yamaguchi Intanon - Tai Tzu Ying Semi: Chen Yufei - Nozomi Okuhara Sindhu - Tai Tzu Ying Men's Single: Kento Momota - Angus Ka Long Viktor Axelsen - Shi Yuqi Ginting - Antonsen Lee Zii Jia - Chou Tien Chen Semi: Kento Momota - Viktor Axelsen Antonsen - Lee Zii Jia

MD We are not with taipei, thank god.

China is watching for sure

Confirmed

Do you mean If an NOC have 3 quotas in C2 and C1 but just planning send 2 athletes to attend both events, then ICF would allow them to reallocate the unused canoe quota to a kayak quota?

At least US should grant all interpreters visas to avoid them killed by Taliban. They don't need lip services, they need visas and air tickets.

1. Who were the most unexpected Qualifiers(Team/Individual) from your nation? Men's epee team, the last stage of unlimited calculating of scores and unexpected drama continuously happened. Our savior turned out to be Estonia who chose to attend but got eliminated at the first round. 2.Which athletes/teams ' not qualifying from your nation hurt you the most? Men's basketball for their unexpected loss and Men's water polo for FINA irresponsible cancelation of Asian qualifier.

That game vs Poland is definitely the darkest moment for Chinese basketball in my whole life.

The one you unexpected is the one hurt us most at home.

Rumors from multiple source including Chinese journalists in Japan that all matches in (greater) Tokyo area will be without spectators.

Kim Yeon-koung - Volleyball & Hwang Sun-woo - Swimming

ICF released the athletes list without specifying which events to attend: https://www.canoeicf.com/canoe-sprint-olympics/tokyo-2020/athletes But it seems only include NOCs with first letter of A to E temporarily

BTF is worst part I can imagine of the Tokyo OG. No one and no other organization can compete even close. Zero expectation of the boxing in OG. I would rather not hear any news of this sport during OG to make me angry.

Hahaha. They pronounce the same. But if written in Chinese they have different family names.

finally announced the list, even stricter than what I expected. Only achieving standard A in trials finals could be named even the list is not full, all past events don't count and only one swimmer Chen Long achieving standard A in prelims named, the other one OG champion Ye Shiwen failed to be named. Men's event: 50m free: Yu Hexin 100m free: He Junyi, Yu Hexin 200m free: Ji Xinjie, Wang Shun 400m free: Ji Xinjie 800m free: Chen Long 1500m free: Chen Long 100m fly: Sun Jiajun 200m fly: N/A 100m back: Xu Jiayu 200m back: Xu Jiayu 100m breast: Yan Zibei, Qin Haiyang 200m breast: Qin Haiyang 200m IM: Wang Shun, Qin Haiyang 400m IM: Wang Shun 4*200m free relay(only): Hong Jinquan, Zhang Ziyang Women's event: 50m free: Zhang Yufei, Wu Qingfeng 100m free: Yang Junxuan, Wu Qingfeng 200m free: Yang Junxuan, Li Bingjie 400m free: Li Bingjie, Tang Muhan 800m free: Wang Jianjiahe, Li Bingjie 1500m free: Wang Jianjiahe, Li Bingjie 100m fly: Zhang Yufei 200m fly: Zhang Yufei, Yu Liyan 100m back: Chen Jie, Peng Xuwei 200m back: Liu Yaxin, Peng Xuwei 100m breast: Tang Qianting, Yu Jingyao 200m breast: Yu Jingyao 200m IM: Yu Yiting 400m IM: Yu Yiting 4*100m free relay(only): Chen Yujie, Zhu Menghui, Ai Yanhan 4*200m free relay(only): Dong Jie, Zhang Yifan

I don't think in artistic swimming allowing 1 P card athlete. I mean we also want to use this P card if it exists because our duet athletes are 30+ years old and really wanna some rest. But the federation said the rules force them joining the team and only 8 quotas allowed.

China failed to qualify at home in 2019 World Cup and also the first time absent from attending as PRC. This is the MOST frustrating moment for all Chinese fans during the OG qualification process.
