I think this is becoming more and more unlikely. all of their 3 weightlifters received the original suspension but it seems Colombia WL federation is making the process longer intentionally by bringing it to CAS.
 
it's a lengthy process, even Vietnam and Romania are not banned yet. (despite having 3 official suspensions) Colombia is hoping to receive that 1 year ban after Tokyo.

Some updates on eventing entry lists...
 
Looks like Arinadtha Chavatanont is headed to Baborowko (May 27-30). She needs MER otherwise Thai team is out (and + (!) are in).
 
Fouaad Mirza is entered for Montelibretti apparently (May 20-23). @Dolby @Fly_like_a_don
 
No sign of CHI/ZIM so far. Carlos Lobos is presumably headed for his home event in Quillota (May 24-27). If he fails, he should have another chance at the same venue (June 18-20). Camilla Kruger has a few options (Houghton Hall, Renswoude, Millstreet), but can only enter one of them.

They shouldn't be punished if the worst happens, it's not their fault that we are still in the middle of a worldwide pandemic. And I can tell you that in almost all the countries a lot of people would be protesting against the Games. The only reason there aren't any protest against the Aquatics ECh here because people at this point have given up, they know that Orbán doesn't care about them, but I am sure the vast majority of Budapest wanted the event to be cancelled. I think we need to realize that if Tokyo2020 happens, it's going to be biggest achievement in the history of modern sport, we are asking a lot from Japan. And democratic countries like Japan doesn't have the luxury to just ignore public opinion like everything is fine. 
 
But I think they still got enough time to turn things around. Hopefully they will.
 
IOC must be really concerned, Bach wanted the Games to be secure by May, and now he delayed his visit to June, they must know by now that this can go down to wire thanks to the current wave of COVID. 

yes you are right. thanks for correcting me
 
I was wondering why some of them are in green and that was the first thing came to my mind just because I knew few of them are still in the list.
 
I was checking the regulation and those in Green are not going to win a medal. this is just a qualification tournament for them. that's why all athletes in green are in the Olympic list. because otherwise they had no reason to participate here

yes in high level matches it's just too hard to score from the standing position. it happens but probably in 50% of the matches.
 
of course I mean an extra time without passivity caution. let them wrestle until someone scores. by a pushout or anything else. if they can't score, make the circle smaller. at least someone has to score for the win. current rule is like using the coin toss or probably worse because sometimes it punishes the more active wrestler. that's why in that specific match both of them wanted to be more "passive" at the start

And that completes Mongolian Women’s team. 

Congrats! I'm happy for every young performer who makes it to such a high level of competition

Unless BWF amends qualification rules , very very less chance of that happening, yes. 

Funny to point that out when there are literally tens of Russians, Georgians, Cubans competing for nations all over Europe (including Italy)...

Home safe aboard Seigneur Medicott.
 
Now he will have exactly one attempt for the CCI4*-L level. Either Montelibretti (May 20-23), Baborowko (May 27-30) or Millstreet (June 3-6). My guess would be Baborowko.

Doping in weightlifting. I am shocked 

with results from the Pan-American Championships , I calculated the possible new ranking for 61kg. I tried to be accurate but if you see a mistake, let me know.
I removed athletes with just 4 events, because they can't reach max 6 with just 1 event left in Colombia

* Colombia can be banned from the Olympics, since they have 3 doping cases inside the qualification zone but none of them are sanctioned yet so it seems they have a chance to survive. otherwise they wouldn't host a qualification event.
 
* I'm sure BLR is not going to pick Laptseu, but I'm not sure about BUL, KAZ and TUR, don't know how good they are in other weights. for Kazakhstan it will be between this guy or Bersanov (109kg) I believe Son will go to Tokyo
 
* Baru from PNG can still make it to top 8 and to help Oceania qualify another weightlifter but interestingly there is nobody else from Oceania in the ranking in this weight !!
 
* the best athlete from Africa right now is from Madagascar and he can't make it to top 8.
 
==========
so considering everything, these guys have a better chance to qualify
==
 
there are so many variables. Germany can drop Brandhuber for Mau who had a better result in the Euro, Colombia can be banned, Indonesia can still qualify by participating in the last event, Bulgaria and Turkey may try different weights, and some weightlifters still can improve their ranking points in the Colombia event. for example TPE is too close to KAZ for the Asian spot. and the Saudi guy was on fire in Asia, he can do that too.
 

Though they need to be careful losers may throw the coaches like coins. 

European competitions are finally restarting.
 
@Dolby This weekend, Fouaad Mirza will be gunning for the CCI4*-S requirement aboard Dajara in Strzegom.

Trials will be held on 16th and then the team for the qualifiers will be announced.

The entry list isn't complete and gets updated everyday. The entry list deadline is 18 April

i love your country, and sport in india is becoming universal like china! by 2028 india will fight with the europeans and the usa and china and enter the top 10

Bhai not everything has to be written/said. Apurvi and her coaches are aware of the problem (loss of weight leading to ill-fitting gear) which has led to her dip in form. They are working on it. If she is not able to solve the problem and/or the solution doesn't lead to better scores, then federation has many levers to ensure that Apurvi herself withdraws in favour of reserve shooter.  But, as of now, federation is backing Apurvi to regain the form. All our past shooting legends have time and again reiterated that one can't equate the scores in trials with that in WC or Olympics. Abhinav wasn't even shooting regularly in run up to Rio but we all knew he was a medal hopeful because of his experience. Apurvi was at top in 2019. So, backing her is not a wrong decision. 
 
Basically, we can make a case for Apurvi, Anjum and Elavenil all three. No matter which two were chosen, someone would have missed out. Same in 25m Pistol. In Air Rifle Men, Divyansh was sure selection but behind him Sandeep, Babuta, Aishwary were good in recent trials but were way behind Deepak in 2019.

Isn't the Colombian lifter provisionally suspended? Also, there is a chance CHN might skip this event. (They have a meagre 10kg lead here while they have 20kg lead in other weights). 

Why do you want to give heart attack to @MHSN  

Why do you want to give heart attack to @MHSN  

I wonder if Yuzuru Hanyu will cause an International incident at the 2022 Olympics when his fans will throw hundreds of Xi Jinping plushes on the ice.
