Novak Djokovic practicing some Gymnastics 

Maybe not a surprise either........

Ski Mountaineering has officially been added to the sports program for the 2026 Winter Olympic Games.  

-1  in athletics.
 
Irene Sánchez-Escribano (Women's 3000stp.) injured.

Out: Modern Pentathlon
In: Squash
 
If forced to pick 3:
Out: boxing, weightlifting
In: cricket, softball
 
I also think Climbing, Skateboarding and Surfing should be permanent additions. They are low cost, require few athletes, have very well developed professional circuits, have high participation numbers and have the potential to reach a new audience.

So WA changed some things around according to this: https://www.worldathletics.org/competitions/olympic-games/the-xxxii-olympic-games-athletics-7132391/athletes?urlSlug=the-xxxii-olympic-games-athletics-7132391&competitionGroup=olympic-games&disciplineCode=&sexCode=&countryCode=
 
 is now on men's 800.  in women's 1500,  in womens 400 hurdles,  and  in men's 1500,  in 110 hurdles.
 
 doesn't have a female listed anymore, and  is still in 100m.
 
I don't know if any other changes where made.

Varillas confirmed.

Agate is illegal in Portugal and cannot travel outside of the country...

WA doesn't make sense at all. I just found the case of  D'Jamila TAVARES (a not-so-good 3000stp athlete) given an universiality quota in 800m when the country has a much better long jumper in Agate DE SOUSA that also is a 11.81 sprinter (much better than most of the girls that got universiality quotas)......
 
 
MAKE IT MAKE SENSE....

I am not sure. Today is the sport entries deadline. So technically all athletes should have been selected by name at this point.

However, I know for a fact that some nations have purposely selected larger teams and are in fact still playing with their P athletes or whatnot.

today, the international federations were supposed to announce the final start lists, and to NOCs eventual redistributed and reallocated quotas, the national federations and committees must announce whether they agree and confirm their interest in them. The names of the athletes should also be announced today, but they can still be exchanged, for serious reasons, no later than one week before the start of the games.

Today (5th July) the entry lists have to be completed, but given the circumstances around the pandemic etc... replacement are allowed until 1 week before the Olympics in serious cases like injuries, late unfortunate withdrawals or other unexpected serius reasons

And I don't know why not give invitations to the marathon.
 
They gave just 1 to a  athlete who probably is going to end like at least 25 minutes behind everyone. Invite 3/4 more athletes, so they can form a small "pack" in the back of the race and run with each other and no just one, cause then it's going to be too obvious. And is the easiest to allocate athletes cause always is going to be an athlete with the olympic standard that struggles and goes over 3 hours for the women, and 2:30 for the men.
 
 
 for the men all have decent marathon runners. And  for the women.
 
It creates a decent secondary field that is not going to "humilliate" themselves in the track.

Just let's get rid of weightlifting finally. Solves a lot of problems.
