Lots of goals, but too many cheap ones. Gvardiol one is particularly painful.

The Caymans however must explicitly express interest to get this invitation. FIG/IOC award Tripartite spots based on applications from NOCs, for which the deadline has technically already passed some months ago.

Apparently Gvardiol stepped out of the field this time.

Rebić stepped out of the field (equipment change in 38'?), just before the whole goal action started...

I sincerely hope it will be given to the Caymans...

None?

Very interesting opinion piece from the South African Olympic Committee. https://www.teamsa.co.za/looking-beyond-the-medals/

Sweden - Team dressage Patrik Kittel (Well Done de la Roche) Therese Nilshagen (Dante Weltino) Antonia Ramel (Brother de Jeu) Juliette Ramel (Buriel) - one of the four will be the reserve (most likely A. Ramel) Sweden - Team eventing Louise Romeike (Cato 60) Ludwig Svennerstal (Balham Mist) Therese Viklund (Viscera) Reserve: Sara Algotsson Ostholt (Chicuelo) No Linda Algotsson and Sara only the reserve. Viklund?? Goodbye team medal chance. At least her selection means Sara will likely step into another Olympic competition after all...

Malo sumnjivo da, ali barem je dan ranije isplivao 22.08 (prolaz na 100 slobodno), tako da popravak nije došao ni od kuda.

Happy for Pawlak & Fantastic Frieda. Very reliable jumpers, exactly what a team needs. Has the reserve athlete been named?

Apparently only still have no athletes confirmed? Pretty worrying, since most nations have received their T&F wild cards up to this point...

Miljenić sad ima pravo nastupa i na 100 m (50.03 OST).

Yeah, I still can't believe they changed A/B standards to a system where nations can basically combine both A ("direct") and B ("rankings") standards to maximize their participation. Hurray for the big boys, I guess.

Final day of the qualification period, Men's 50 m free - Nikola Miljenić - 21.95 OQT

dressage The German team includes: Jessica von Bredow-Werndl - TSF Dalera BB Dorothee Schneider - Showtime FRH (reserve horse Faustus) Isabell Werth - Bella Rose (first reserve Weihegold OLD, second reserve Quantaz) Travelling reserve: Helen Langehanenberg - Annabelle Two extra reserves that will join the quarantine in Aachen from 6 - 14 July Frederic Wandres - Duke of Britain FRH Benjamin Werndl - Daily Mirror

Serghei Tarnovschi is one example. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serghei_Tarnovschi

Just to throw it out there, Mary Hanna (1954) will be the most senior athlete in Tokyo at 99,9%.

Satisfied with the anti-doping measures? What measures? We are in the middle of a pandemic. These Olympics will be like the dirtiest on the record. You can bet on it. As for the punishment, my biggest issue is that athletes who were to be banned from the Tokyo 2020 suddenly became eligible for Tokyo 2021... Even though the event is still marketed as Tokyo 2020, and really should be just a postponed event with all other rules staying intact, as if the postponement never happened...

Well, I love this format. Something quite unique, and honestly, more than fair.

Around July 5th.

To be fair, a baseball tournament is not a lottery...

I remember there was Alsu Minazova, but I suppose @Sindo must have removed this professional athlete since I can't find her by tagging.

This is pretty interesting and unprecedented (for both nations). Surely there will be more of this to come?

You meant XD here?
