Yessss!!!!!! GOLD Medal for the Philippines!!! ?????? Thank You!!! ??????

Is there still a possibility that Skateboarding might not be included in the 2024 olympics list of sports?

What happened to the Brazilian skaters? I was expecting them to be in the Finals. Happy for Didal for making it, quite unexpected for me. Bit of a scare that Didal wont make it, Heat 4 was a strong bunch.

Could have been big for Dela Cruz of if challenge was successful

Good recovery for Aisah of INA to lift that 84kg snatch, but unsuccessful for the 87kg attempt, she has lifted that in the asian championships

Has Oleg Verniaiev of retired or just injured?

I hope the 2022 Asian Games will push through, I was quite disappointed with the sea games in vietnam being cancelled this year but it’s the right thing to do given the current covid situation in southeast asia Is there a possibility Indonesia withdraw and transfer hosting of this event? 2022 is already full with sporting events AIMAG in March, SEA Games, and Asian Games held in the same year

I love that Ukraine shirt! ?

Does anyone know when a certain country is coming out?

Philippines Contingent - 19 I’m looking at 6 possible medals in this year’s Tokyo Olympics 1. Ernest Obiena - M Athletics Pole Vault 2. Eumir Marcial - M Boxing 3. Nesthy Petecio - W Boxing 4. Yuka Saso - W Golf 5. Carlos Yulo - M Gymnastics Floor exercise 6. Hidilyn Diaz - W Weightlifting Two of them are current world champions (Petecio, Yulo). While Marcial a silver medallist and Diaz a bronze medallist in the latest edition of their respective world championship. Saso is the current LPGA US Open Champion and Obiena is ranked 6th in the world. Hopefully, one of them would be able to bring home the elusive gold medal for Also, the last time we won more than 1 medal in the Summer Olympic Games — way back in 1932 where we won 3 bronze medals I hope the Gold Medal drought ends this year! ??????

Yes most likely, we will see the core of this young team in the world cup with a few additions in the line up Politics within the local basketball community has been the problem, some professional teams don’t want to release their players for the NT by making excuses like injuries etc. The professional league PBA scheduling gets in the way also for the availability of players just like in the last Asian Games where we went home empty handed in men’s basketball

To be honest I was quite sursprised too, I was expecting a blow out. Majority of the team still plays in the collegiate ranks. PHI sent this team just to give these kids more international exposure against european type of play and familiarize playing with each other. we weren’t expecting to qualify for the tokyo olympics, they’re focused on the 2023 Basketball World Cup which we will be hosting together with Japan and Indonesia. A long term goal would be to qualify for 2024 or 2028 olympics. Hopefully we will be able to get Jordan Clarkson to play for the country again, same with Jalen Green who is entered in the NBA draft

When will the draw for the individual matches come out?

Happy with the news today that PHI received a reallocation quota, to be honest I didn’t see it coming based on JoshMartini’s post ?

Hi! Are you sure about this? Did Egypt refused the quota? Thanks!

Yeah, I’m following her in her Instagram account ? I was thinking that she competed in the Asian Championships just to fulfill the requirement of 6 tournaments but it turned out the rules were changed by the IWF. To be honest, I was expecting more from her during the contest. I believe she will be a medallist, the question is of what color ??????

What exactly is Arthur Dalaloyan’s injury?

I hope Continental quotas were limited to only 1 per NOC in each or maybe both genders just like in Judo

I am hoping that China won’t choose W-55kg, our most likely lone representative Hidilyn expressed that this might be her last Olympic Games. It is really hard to beat China in Weightlifting their technique is really impressive. On the other hand, a win over China who is the standard in this sport, makes it hugely convincing.

So it is still not official the suspension of Colombia, Romania, and Vietnam ?

I thought some countries are suspended from competing in the tokyo olympics? I’m confused they’re still on that list

Anyone with an updated list of suspended countries in weightlifting for the Tokyo Olympics and NOCs with limited quota? Is the one in wikipedia correct?

How is the tournament format?

Yes!!! Quota for ?????? with a dramatic finish hahaha ? Quite a disappointment for our more experienced female jins (Lopez and Alora) I was expecting them to get the quotas instead of Barbosa. No news about injuries, but the pandemic and repeated lockdowns in the country could have affected their performance. Their training bubble started only this year and lasted only for 3 months, there were no foreign sparring partners except for the local ones. Last tournament for our jins was the Manila SEA Games way back in December of 2019. Congrats to Kiani of Iran for getting another quota for her country. Her matches vs THA and vs JOR were not easy. Well deserved victory.

CAM Tubbs and PHI Lopez ? failed to make it to the next round losing to JOR and LBN respectively. The Women’s -57kg has been unpredictable so far
