Tian Tao is also suffering from injury though he finished ACh. Otherwise Tian has a good chance because China wants breakthrough in heavy weights.

My prediction is 100% correct. 64kg Deng Wei is not selected because of her injury and absence of the public trial ACh. It’s unlucky but unsurprised.

I hopr she doesn't know that. China counts on her qualifying through the match then Li Ranran can get the continental quota.

Sorry to hear that. What reason do you think cauesd economy recession of Iran? Mainly because external reasons like US sanction/exchange rate/oil price or internal political reasons?

What's the path for her to qualify then?

get the Asian individual quota.

Do you think is it still possible to change category or change lifter in the same category temporarily after arriving Tokyo? In my memory, China changed 49kgHou Zhihui to 55kg Li Yajun in Rio due to her sudden injury. @MHSN

Basically you can presume the highest point holder among all unqualified athletes of your nation combined with both genders will receive one continental quota.

My guess Women: 49 55 87 87+ Men: 61 67 73 81 We will have final answers in 2 or 3 days anyway.

Good news for u. China will not choose women’s 59kg for sure and 90% will not choose men’s 96kg.

When do we know which 4 categories each NOC choose?

qualified in team event in Asian Championships at home. or will qualify tomorrow in individual.

Men's team 1 2 3 (Originally I think China and Russia 50-50. But unfortunately key member of Russia Artur Dalaloyan tore Achilles's tendon) Women's team 1 2 3 Side Polls 1. Who are the dark horses in your nation's Olympic team could spring up a surprise medal? Some girl in balance beam, I am not sure which one. Generally Chinese girls are good at balance beam. Given Biles's performance on BB are not consistent and stable lately, China may have a chance to have a gold medal(only if she drops or big waive while we don't). 2.Is the decision to reduce the maximum number of gymnasts in countries having a team quota right? The decision seemingly favored weak countries with less depth and give them a chance to challenge the powerhouses. But I have to say no it does't work. 4 or 5 does't make a significant difference. On the contrary, powerhouses used to need balancing AA players and individual event players in a team, most probably 4+1 format or 3+2(who capable of several events). But now it's 4+2 format, 4 AA players and 2 individual events players. The gap is even larger and they don't even have to balance anything. the weaker countries can't get additional 2 individual quotas so it's their job to balance AA and individual in the limited 4 team quotas. 3.Do you see / wish to have parkour at the Olympics in future? No I don't want it happen. 4. Who'll be the men's and women's individual artistic gymnastics all round medallist? Men's Nikita Nagornyy Xiao Ruoteng Daiki Hashimoto Women's Simon Biles and one girl and another girl

China announced the Olympic list Men: Gao Lei, Dong Dong Women: Zhu Xueying, Liu Lingling

lost to 2:3 in last 5 minutes. So the situation all changed in a sudden. It seems China will most probably advance to top12 now.

If national team get involved, it could persuade one to change weight class.

China finally have a winning over Brazil after a string of 4 loses. It kinda feels like back to Rio with a 3-2. All key players are currently under a short term quarantine and will come back next match on 12th.

Politics is everywhere especially when it seems political correctness.

Good luck to Federica Pellegrini then. Still need American and Australian blessing.

NO.4 At least 2 Youth Olympic Gold medallist from 2018 will be Olympic Gold Medallist Just in China, one is for sure and one is possible. Sun Yingsha, 2018 table tennis women's singles champion, will win women's team for sure. Yang Junxuan, 2018 swimming relay gold medalist, is among gold medal contenders in 200m free with 1:54.57 Asian record in national trial. She will not attend 400m or 1500m so I think she is competitive even compared to Ledecky.

I am afraid the Refugee South Sudan team is bigger than South Sudan team.

Where do the quotas come from？And what if it breaks the fragile gender parity?

Tomorrow there will be lots of bloggers help calculate the scores and analyze the situation. China just won over the Philippines. But the whole situation is still a mess. Good luck to Iran and China.

Well someone called it fairness since they missed the trials and underperformed in extra trial.

The total amount of female and male athletes still remain the same. You can imagine it's sprint canoeing. It happens because some athletes attend multiple events so it released some reallocation quotas.
