When will we have the final entry list and which russian athletes are officially out of Rio?

In the prediction contest there are two colombian athletes in mens -62k category, but on the start list i can only see one athlete from Colombia, is it even allowed for one nation to enter two athletes in the same category?

Zimbabwe was much stronger than Brazil two years ago, at least they tried to fight and didnt give up after the first goal. I think even our womens team wouldve won against the brazilian team 2 years ago.

Zimbabwe scores a second goal, who wouldve thought that?

Yeah, my point isnt that female referees dont give yellow cards, but that most of them obviously dont know what they are doing. I think male referees would do a much better job.

Could someone please tell me why there are no male referees in womens football at the olympics? The referee in the Germany - Zimbabwe match is absolutely horrible, Zimbabwe can do whatever they want without getting a yellow card. In general i really dont understand why there are no male coaches and referees in womens football, i think even an average male coach is much better than any female coach, our game looks absolutely horrible.

I just hope that this match soon will be over, so that Zimbabwe cant destroy more of our players. I am sad for Laudehr, but if she will be replaced by Bremer, then we will profit from her injury.

1) Why dont you wait to open the contest until you posted your predictions? 2) Why would anyone cheat for a prediction contest where you cant win anything?

Why dont you just make two templates out of the one template you already have? Then everyone can post two predictions, one for wrestling/taekwondo and one for the other sports, in the end all the result will be added up and we will still have just one prediction contest, but everyone can post his predictions for taekwondo/wrestling after the draw has been released.

Is this official? None of those sports should be olympic, maybe except for skatebording. None of those sports really adds anything to the olympic games and they are either extremely underdeveloped or the best athletes wont compete. We for sure didnt need another team sport, where only 3 or 4 teams will fight for a medal or the 10th fighting sport. I can already tell 100% that i wont follow those sports in 2020. Surfing could be interesting, although we already have sailing at the olympics. What will be next? Futsal, beach handball, squash or parcours? The only reasonable explanation for everything IOC did in the last couple of weeks is that they try to destroy the olympics. This is completely contradictory to what they actually wanted to do and i can already tell that Bach is the worst president in the history of the IOC. Olympic games and olympic medals used to be something special, but in the future olympic medals will become completely random, because even hobby athletes will be able to win some.

So the prediction contests in taekwondo and wrestling become basically guessing. Do we know how the seeding (according to world ranking) will work?

Thats the great and maybe sick thing about olympics. You watch events that you normally would never watch, just because its the olympics.

Sweden match already over? I thought that South Africa would be extremely weak, so what happened? Sweden worse than expected or South Africa better than expected?

When will taekwondo and wrestling draws take place? Why not make two separate prediction contests?

Thanks! Wow, did Canada really score in the first minute? I was sure that Australia would win this ...

Where can i find live scores on the official website? I dont like the website from what i have seen so far, i think it should be possible to see the current event with live score on the top of the page ... Maybe its just a problem with my computer? Does South Africa still have a chance to win the game?

Why? Joke?

When will the draw/seeding in judo/wrestling/boxing/taekwondo released? I think its impossible to make a prediction for the medallists, if we dont know the draw.

Orlando Ortega (mens 110m hurdles) will sadly be allowed to compete for Spain in Rio. He shouldnt have been allowed to compete, but sadly officials dont seem to have a problem to break their own rules nowadays.

Yeah, i thought so. So the question basically is: Will Mali win a medal in taekwondo. I wont risk 10 points on a question like that, its pretty much 50/50.

Our womens team has the goal to win gold, but it will be very difficult, i think one team from group G will win gold. I hope that we finish 2nd in group to avoid France/USA in the next round, we should try to lose against Australia. On the mens side a medal would be a good result, but without so many of our best players and without a good preparation it will be very difficult.

About question 108: Lets say an athlete from the Netherlands wins a medal, would the answer be yes or would the answer only be yes if an athlete from for example Mali wins a medal? Medal in taekwondo = First medal ever in taekwondo at olympics or Medal in taekwondo = First medal ever for this country (all sports)?

Maybe Ignatyev was just in a bad shape? Last year your team was 2 points behind the silver medal and 2.5 points behind the gold medal. Why do you think that your team will be so much better, while at the same time GB and Japan wont improve? I just looked at the results from last year again and GB missed gold by only 0.5 points, although Bevan only scored 13.9 on pommel horse. I think it will GB and Japan will be even better this year, considering that Bevan and Wilson are much more experienced this year. I would say GB and Japan will fight for gold and China will be the favorite for bronze.
