We don't have a single safe gold medal, but we do have three relatively safe medals: Sandra Sánchez - Karate (Kata) -> Gold (but it could be silver considering that her main rival is from ) Damián Quintero - Karate (Kata) -> Silver or bronze ( gold is clear and then or for the silver) K4 500 - Canoeing -> We should fight against Germany for the gold medal

Making it better doesn't mean that they can take the gold medal in a sport with judges.

1 - Artistic Swimming - Russia (team) 2 - Artistic Swimming - Russia (duet) 3 - Table Tennis - China (Team M) 4 - Table Tennis - China (Team W) 5 - Rhythmic Gymnastics - Russia (group)

You can rule us out of the equation for the medals. The federation decided to change the duet this season to start preparing two young girls for 2024, so they will be happy with a final. Russia and China are a lock and the only "interesting" fight is going to be Ukraine or Japan for the bronze.

This is probably the last time in a very long time that Spain is going to be a medal contender in men's basketball, so hopefully, this amazing generation led by Pau Gasol can win the 4th Olympic medal in a row.

Congrats Italy! Totally deserved.

I think the list isn't complete. They aren't including the basketball team

They rejected the swimming quotas because they considered that their level was very low. They will only send 2 athletes (Mònica Doria in canoeing and Pol Moya in athletics). http://www.coa.ad/delegacio-andorrana-pels-proxims-jocs-olimpics-de-toquio-2020/

The list will be released on Monday, but technically they have already sent it to the IOC.

Great victory of against in Paris, 87-79. Ricky Rubio MVP of the game with 23 points. Pau Gasol and Alex Abrines didn't travel to France due to some small injuries, but they are expected to join the team again in the last friendly game before the Olympics against next Sunday.

Kind of. Each source gives a different number depending on how they count the reserves, but if you use the basic quotas for team sports, then 321 is the right number. CSD gave 326 athletes in their list because they considered bigger teams in waterpolo and things like that: https://www.csd.gob.es/es/alta-competicion/clasificacion-olimpica-tokio-2020

The first Spanish athletes (canoeing slalom team) arrived on July 3 Our sailing team arrived yesterday and most of our athletes will arrive on July 15 and 17, except the football team, because they will play a friendly match against Japan next Saturday, so they will arrive on July 13.

That's the reason why they are saying 333 instead of 321.

For me Italy and Azerbaijan are the 2 most likely to do it. Also Germany and Turkey have good chances. Probably you are also considering France as an outsider (but imo they aren't favorites in both wrestling and taekwondo, so I guess that they will fail in at least one).

They have already confirmed that Juancho won't be in Tokyo. The recovery time is at least 1 month.

Let's see how they recover physically, especially Pedri who has played all the games in the EURO and the whole season with his club. I agree that it might be a problem if they are not at the same level that these days, but even without the 6 players, I think it's possible to make a competitive team. For example, Marco Asensio, Dani Ceballos or Bryan Gil have already played for the senior team, but this season they haven't played much due to different reasons, so this is a very good opportunity for these 3 guys to show how good they are and convince Luis Enrique to make the senior list in September. And I would also add to this list the name of Rafa Mir, he's quite unknown, even in Spain, since he plays for Huesca, but in my opinion he can be part of the senior team this season considering the low level of Spanish forwards. He plays different compared to Dani Olmo or Mikel Oyarzábal, which is always nice to introduce some tactical variations during the game. Anyways, I don't like the draw at all. Facing Germany or Brazil (if we get through the group stage) in QF is not going to be easy. Good luck!

1. Who were the most unexpected Qualifiers(Team/Individual) from your nation? Francisco Gaviño (equestrian - eventing), Alberto Ginés (climbing) and the WAG team. 2.Which athletes/teams ' not qualifying from your nation hurt you the most? I had high hopes to qualify on women football for the first time ever. Furthermore, we were very close in basketball 3x3 W, which would have been nice additions to the team. In individual sports I would say the archery team with Alvariño and Acha, Sara Álvarez in judo (she had a knee injury when she was fighting for the continental quota) and Yulen Pereira in fencing.

5 of the 11 players who started yesterday against Italy will be going to the Olympics, so I will be highly diassapointed if we don't manage to get a medal in Tokyo. We failed miserably in London 2012 and our last medal dates back to Sidney 2000, so it's time to bring the fourth football medal to the country (gold in 1992 and silver in 1920 and 2000). ¡Vamos España!

Congrats Italy! I hope you win on Sunday.

Winning two penalty shootouts in a row is extremely difficult, so I think this will be for Italy. Furthermore, I think we have won the last 2 against Italy (EURO2008 and Confederation Cup 2013), so I am not confident at all. Anyways, good effort.

Morata on the bench!

For Spain I think it will be around 20.

is the European country with the most teams qualified! That's a huge success for us.
