For now, we only have 1 naturalized athlete qualifiyed to Rio, long distance runner Trihas Gebre, born etiophian but in a relationship with a spanish guy for more than four years. But a lot more are going to be added to the list. Spain has a lot of cuban/moroccoan immigration and lot of our athletic team are actually foreign borns. But I'm not against them in our team, we don't pay them to stay with us, and usually our moroccoan athletes just started their carreers as athletes once living in Spain. I think the federation has learned for they mistakes. Back in the day they pretty much give citizenship to the first athlete they could find, and the doping bans from Josephine Onyia and Bezabeh had turned a lot of people against the naturalized athletes of these days. Orlando Ortega received a lot of negative vibe from public and athletes when he obtained spanish nacionality, for example. And fans still attack people like Adel Mechaal who has been living in Spain since he has 3 years old. Spain as a country is an advanced society for a lot of things but we still has problems with racisim in sport.

Era de esperar que se sañtasen lso criterios. Me da pena por Azucena. Aunque Alessandra sea mejor, pero segun lo que habian dictaminado Azucena tenia que ser la elegida.

Oficially, neither Sofia Toro or Angela Pumariega, gold medallists in sailing Match Race have been selected for the 470 boat.

Rafael Nadal is the spanish one. It was annunced today.

Is teh Race Walking team closed or they're going to add more athletes? Anyway, I'm happy por Derek but sad for Charlotte. I think she's the future of british marathon running, cause she's so young; not being part of the olympic team is a mistake by BA....

I would love to see both Hawkins brothers in Rio

More wins for Spain,

Australian Adam Scott has withdrawn from the olympics too.

Can I go with my neighbour Andorra? If not, I'm #team or #team

I'm not really hard into shooting, but I think they're going to respect everyone who wins the quota and don't make any changes.

Sandly the pommel horse kill all our chances

I hate that there's no livestream for this event... shame. GO SPAIN!

Damn Thank u for the help! Well, at least he did a good job in the previous rounds, I didn't expect him to go this far...

Anyone know if Taimuraz Friev (74kg ESP) has compete in his semifinal? Can't find any info and the streams went off

Impresionante lo de He Zhiwen "Juanito" a su edad. Fan absoluto, ojalá se meta en Rio.

Jackson Quiñonez and Andrew Turner helping Liu in London 2012

Damn, I was kinda excited for more quotas to Fiji About Miguel Angel Jimenez pulling out, I'm actually happy, never liked him.

Que grande David Sánchez

Habrá que confiar en Carmona, porque los otros españoles andan flojitos.....

SPANISH ENTRY PABLO LÓPEZ - EL MUNDO ENGLISH TRANSLATE LYRICS The world has broken, the world explodes and it may seem that I'm crazy, I just want you to stay in my bed The world kills, the world dies, and I would not turn away, nor beg him to wait for me. And if tomorrow is no more left than an angel, and if tomorrow we are just air, and if tomorrow they find us tangled they let us rest, the world as well. The world jumps out the window, and biting your faces red, dribbling awareness among your wings. The world end, the world loses, and our souls die through our mouths playing the innocent lovers. And if tomorrow is no more left than an angel, and if tomorrow we are just air, and if tomorrow they find us tangled they let us rest, the world as well. And if tomorrow is no more left than an angel, and if tomorrow we are just air, and if tomorrow they find us tangled they let us rest of the world, the world, I want to escape this world thereby

Well, I just receibed a message about this. First of all, thanks to the person. Second, is Spain still in time to take part?

For the girls marathon the spanish Federation criteria set two places for the national championships that are already taken, and the last one it's going to be decided by the technical committee, and probably is going to be for Alessandra Aguilar (2:29:45 in London2015) if she compites in a marathon this month. It's a bit sad because Azucena Diaz has made today a better time than one of the officially selected athletes, but rules are rules.

Sadly she's probably going to miss Rio

¿Sheila Ramos tambien esta lesionada? Vaya...

Miedo me da la derrota ante Eslovenia.....
