Yes, TJ Remember that while you are in Mexico, your time zone is for Central Time, so the sporting action will begin around 7 PM with swimming finals around 8:30 PM

For Mexico I still go with 3 to 5, similar with the medals we won in Rio

I am glad there are many other hardcore olympic fanatics like me In my case, with the Olympics I always try to accomodate my vacations to watch the Summer Olympics, I did that for Athens, Beijing and the second week of London 2012 Since 2013 I have been in a different situation where my actual working conditions give me the benefit of having at my own pace/time as far as I met the deadlines and add that given I live in Pacific Time Zone the schedule for Rio was totally friendly (just had to wake up around 5:00 AM) for Sochi I had the chance to watch the sports I follow almost live during early morning and for Pyeongchang the sports started around 5:00 PM and ran until 6:00 AM, but I only watched for 5:00 PM to midnight, went to sleep and later during the day catch up with whatever happened while I was sleeping. I am benefited of living in the north american border with USA so I get NBC and of course the arranged schedule they always get for prime coverage This will apply for the Tokyo, Beijing games. For me, the Olympics in Tokyo will run from 5:00 PM again until 6:00 AM next day. So basically I will have almost the same experience like in 2018 even though many more sports to follow. But I decided to watch the main sports I follow and those were mexican athletes have options and wont watch or try to remain with no spoilers for many sports that I will try to catch up AFTER the games are over. Last time during Rio trying to watch every sport for the medal decisive matches/moments was waaaaaaay too much and I ended exhausted! So this time I will probably download the sessions of sports like wrestling, karate, team sports, rhythmic gymnastics, artistic swimming, judo and will watch them days after the games are over so I can cope with the olympic withdrawals.

with all respect to the polish girl but wish the girl from Trinidad and Tobago got that quota instead as she surely would be very competitive for a medal or top 5

Well basically for mexican streams you just have to go to the clarosports.com website or youtube channel that like I mentioned will have 4 live streams running 24/7 during the Games. Once the official clarosport olympic website is set up and published I will let you know, don't worry Also on free national tv our main 3 tv stations (Televisa, TV Azteca & Imagen TV) owns the rights for free to air tv coverage of the Games

Yes, you will have to get a VPN in order to be able to connect while staying in Mexico to the NBC streams Also, ask in advance your hotel if they have high speed internet, last one I stayed in and though they had internet all across the hotel but the speed was soooo low

Reporting from America (the continent) About options of legal streams here in North America. FIRST, consider having a VPN, this has been my source to watch everything and at a reasonable price, right now I am using MULLVAD VPN and I recomend Windscribe, with those two cheap options you will be safe, hey with windscribe you could even chose single or specific servers like only wanting to pay for USA, Spain and the UK (they have 30 countries) each is one dollar per month. Mullvad has about 30 countries to choose from and is like 6 dollars a month and is non auto renew. USA: For streams of NBC, forget about it unless you are client of an internet/tv/satellite/cable company based in the US, the NBC streams will be unlocked to those who provide their user credentials. Canada: CBC Sports, usually they do very very well with their streaming. In Rio and Pyeongchang they had a dedicated olympic website with Live and On Demand streams of every sport, every session, english commentary or no commentary. I am very confident this time they will do the same and have everything live and VOD for later watching. High quality streams. Mexico: We will have Clarosports with almost same scenario of CBC Canada, live feeds for every sport, every session with the on demand option. Plus they will have another 4 live channels via Youtube with spanish commentary (sorry but many of our commentators are bad but if you dont speak spanish then no problem). My advice? buy one month of the vpn I recommend and I will put in time the link for the Canadian and Mexican websites where you will be able to catch the action

Chrstine Mboma 48.54 with just 18 years old is INCREDIBLE Namibia also has Beatrice Masilingi who could be under 49 seconds soon and she is posting PB in 200m So now Miller Uibo has either namibian at the 200 or 400 in Tokyo

As far as I know, Miller Uibo is focusing in the 200m only, schedule makes it very difficult to go for the 200/400

Salwa Eid Nasser suspended two years will miss the Games With no Nasser and Miller Uibo at the 400m in Tokio then Allyson Felix is looking very good for medal chances BREAKING NEWS: 400m world champion Salwa Eid Naser banned for two years, will miss Tokyo Olympics (sportsmax.tv)

I expect Colombia, Vietnam and Turkey get those suspensions no matter the excuses like the colombians made; though they still will be able to send a reduced team but I hope they don't get away and qualify full team and get potential medals that later will be under suspicion

Out: Artistic Swimming, Rhythmic Gymnastics and Weightlifting (because the doping issues) In: Karate, Raquetball & Pelote Vasque (Mexico could win some medals so...)

Desde la ultima vez que escribi tenemos plazas Dafne Navarro - Gimnasia Trampolin 4 plazas en Triatlon, 2 varonil + 2 femenil 4 en pentatlon, 2 en cada rama Judo - 1 plaza en femenil Tiro con Arco: Equipo completo, gran actuacion de las nuestras, Aida Roman como en sus mejores tiempos y es casi ya un hecho que el equipo es Roman, Valencia y Vazquez. Natacion - 50 metros varonil finalmente alguien ha dado la marca A hoy Gabriel Castaño con 22.01

That is almost what the BBC does, talk talk talk talk and some fluff then some sports action, then talk talk talk With Athletics this is coming to the point of not watching with their analysis of the analysis, over analysis while there are field events and they don't even bother to cover while talking and talking and talk again We will see if this time with their 'limited' broadcast (of 350 hours totally) if they focus showing SPORTING ACTION or waste time with their talking

We will have a very good coverage either on national tv channels or on the web National TV channels TV Azteca (Channel 7) and Televisa (Channel 5) will most likely show highlights and mexican focused, they never show the full sessiones but a mix of various sports live or like I said highlights Then we have Clarosports and I will rely on this, since is the official broadcaster in Mexico and LatinAmerica, for better coverage and full sessions you will be able to watch every sport, every discipline live and on demand either on their website or youtube channels they said will be available. Once Clarosports puts their olympic dedicated website I will put here so you can check it

In Mexico's case Positive scenario: Day 1 (July 24) Could represent a first medal in Mixed Team Archery, right now we have a consistent duo in the World Cup so with a good day they could make it. This makes me remember London 2012 when our Men's Team placed 4th losing the bronze medal after almost making it to the final but nerves took the best out of our team and no medal. Archery could give a first medal on day 2 but first we have to qualifty this sunday to the games as a full team with the ladies. Best scenario? Day 4 (July 27) this day can give Mexico more than 1 medal: with Briseida Acosta one of our best hopes of a medal in Taekwondo and Carlos Sansores, both our only athletes in Tokyo so our two shots at a medal will be this day (the last of competition) in synchro diving the women's 10m platform if our duo gives a performance like they did in the prelims at the recent world cup the medal is possible. And if everything falls in place our Softball team could be fighting for a most likely Bronze Medal. @mrv86are you with me?

Add the Parallel Slalom and drop the useless Team Event!!

Britain has several option for wining medals in Tokyo, maybe the medal for Johnson-Tompson is in danger but I can see Dina taking at least a bronze, brits tend to do well in the relays and also they have a shot at 800, 1500 in both men & women. I predict something between 3 to 6 medals, can't see Britain not taking at least one

Pues el 'Control Tecnico' de Clavados se realizara este fin de semana en el CNAR a puerta cerrada. Es solo un filtro, no significa que quienes queden en el top 2 en individual y primeros en sincronizados seran los elegidos. Se tomara en cuenta segun un comunicado de la FMN 'Trayectoria, disciplina y perspectiva' queeee tal!!??? y la lista de los elegidos sera publicada entre 1 a 3 dias DESPUES del domingo 13 que finaliza dicho 'control tecnico' Otro proceso sucio, manchado. Que significa esto? que solo es una pantalla para querer legitimar en algo sus decisiones al elegir a ciertos representantes. Por ejemplo se me ocurre que bajo esos 3 criterios pues los miemrbros de la FMN dirian: - Elegimos a Paola Espinosa por su TRAYECTORIA y a Ivan Garcia por la trayectoria como medallista olimpico (hace 9 años) mundial (hace 6) y panamericano - Elegimos a.... por que desde nuestra PERSPECTIVA creemos que ellos han estado mejor durante todo el proceso y pueden tener las mejores opciones de resultados en Tokio. - La falta de DISCIPLINA de algunos elementos quienes no se han adherido al programa de entrenamiento y su ausencia durante ciertos periodos nos hace tomar en cuenta que no tienen el compromiso bajo nuestra PERSPECTIVA. Con esto justifican dejar fuera potencialmente a Rommel, Kevin Berlin, Jahir En fin, una burla y otro drama que se nos puede venir. Deberan mejorar MUCHISIMO Paola e Ivan si es que pretenden ir individualmente, los menciono a ellos porque asi es, son 2 clavadistas que han sido beneficiados antes y que no han dado resultados individualmente desde hace mucho. Para mi el nivel que mostraron en la Copa del Mundo de Tokio inclusive en sincronizados me deja dudas. Kevin Berlin, Randal Willars en teoria deberian superar a Ivan Garcia quien ya esta probado que falla y mucho individualmente. No soporta la presion, en sincro quiza como la responsabilidad es compartida pues sale menos nervioso PERO es igual de inconsistente. Paola Espinosa me adelanto a decir que NO deberia superar a las chicas que vimos en la Copa del Mundo de Tokio, Arantxa Chavez quien fue quinta, Dolores Hernandez campeona panamericana, realmente pensamos que viendo como tiro de mal en el sincro, esta para superar a las chicas mencionadas??? Pues eso, veremos que pasa!

Blame that harsh bars scoring/judging, there they lost those now needed tenths that took away the olympic ticket

half their team qualified today :D

So disappointing for Mexico, heads need to roll within our federation though it wont happen

With all respect to the costa rica girl but I can't believe Mexico with 4 girls can't beat a gymnast from a country with a quarter maybe of the funding/support of what our gymnast receive, not that they get A LOT but come on! This time maybe was the easiest for our gymnast to get a second spot for the Olympis but looks like it wont happen

Fabian de Luna had disastrous floor exercise and Mexico did not make it Olympic spots for USA and Brazil

I can't see any mexican beating the top 2 at the moment Fabian de Luna after 2 apparatus Rings & vault is positioned to score 'well' but those were maybe his best apparatus From what I understood brazilian commentators are keeping an eye on Fabian given he could take away the spot from the brazilian guy though I doubt it. And in parallel bars Fabian just had some errors that will be costly, he touched down with both hands in the final move of the routine so I think now he is out of contention They said that currently Fabian is the first in line reserve gymnast that could take an olympic quota if any of the already qualified gymnast withdraws
