Garrick Higgo had quite a run in the last year. I bet nobody had him at the Olympics 12 months ago. Bezuidenhout needed a Top 10 finish at US Open to pass him according to Polish commentators (he finished 31st).

Louis Oosthuizen won't go to Tokyo, so Bezuidenhout qualifies anyway.

 Sergio García will not go to Tokyo and he will be replaced by Rafa Cabrera-Bello.

At least, Jon Rahm will be there and hopefully getting the first ever Olympic golf medal for Spain.

and Women's double ?

Women's double haven't been announced yet, but I think they will try Garbiñe Muguruza-Carla Suárez (if it's enough to qualify, which I am not sure) and Paula Badosa-Sara Sorribes.

Feliciano López, Jaumen Munar, Carlos Alcaraz and Marcel Granollers will not go to Tokyo, so we will only send 3 male players (Roberto Carballes would go if there are a lot of withdrawals).

I only cheer for small African nations such as  or 

This team sucks. These two games against Sweden and Poland are the most boring football games I remember in the last few years. Now we need to win against Slovakia to advance and considering who are our forwards, I am not confident at all.

And just waiting for the fourth one, cause  Feliciano Lopez has the 4th place rigth now and he already withdrawn Rio2016 when he was a medal contender in doubles, so.....

If he withdraws, which is likely but not sure, I am quite sure that he wouldn't be the last  player refusing the quota.

1. 15 sports: Athletics, basketball, handball, boxing, football, golf, judo, karate, canoeing, taekwondo, tennis, shooting, sailing, swimming and waterpolo.

2. Jessica Fox

I am disappointed with the results. I was expecting  to qualify. They had a very creative routine and deserved more.

checking the lists. that wasn't just dirty. that was also stupid for Marcos Ruiz. he would qualify in his own weight and maybe even stand a slim chance for medal. he would be #12 in 109kg ranking which was good enough for the European quota. (after removing Yang Zhe, all Europeans above him would be in top 8)

 

same goes to Martirosjan, of course only one of them would qualify, but without Ruiz he could have the best European quota. now it goes to Roman Zaitsev (Ukraine's replacement for Chumak)

 

This is what happens when the Spanish federation prefers having 5 athletes instead of 4 and some chances to get a medal... By choosing +109kg, they are expecting Armenia to pick Simon Martirosyan in -109 instead of Gor Minasyan, so Marcos qualifies through ranking and Spain gets the continental quota in -67kg with Acorán Hernández.

I know, but Carolin Marin is out, the girl from  ended career last year and  girl probably will not fulfill Dutch's NOC restrictions, with those 3 womens being out other  player Wiktoria Dąbczyńska might get reallocation.

Carolina Marín will be replaced by Clara Azurmendi from Spain (reallocation after only giving 2 Tripartite slots instead of 3) and there are two more countries with a better ranking than Poland:  and , so I think you need another player to drop out apart from  and .

Extra Poll

 Who is the most underrated and overrated Olympic Medallist in your country? 

This is a difficult one, but I would say that the most underrated is Maialen Chorraut (canoeing). She won the gold medal in Rio, bronze in London and is, alongside Rafa Nadal, the only of our 7 gold medallits in Rio that can defend her title in Tokyo. She also has a daughter, which makes it even more deserving, but she is not popular at all in Spain compared to other recent medallists.

I don't think we have an overrated Olympic Medallist in Spain, at least none than I can remember now. Maybe Fermín Cacho, but his gold medal in Barcelona 92 was very iconic, so I wouldn't say that overrated is the right word to use to describe him.

European Cup 10.000m

 Carlos Mayo 27:25.00

Do have any chance to get a reallocation in the men event through the 2019 Worlds if  wins the American Championship next week?

If I understood qualification process correctly, New Zealand will likely qualify from World Cup.

Why would  get the reallocation?

Are you sure it is for the best ranked (higher seed) and not for a eventual play-off match between the losers to ESP (in this case no match is necessary since FRA has a semifinalist and thus EST should be the qualified) ?

We had the same situation in Rio and the criteria used to rank the QF losers were the points obtained by each athlete in that round. In this case both Slovakia and Estonia got 2 points, but the score of adding all the arrows is higher in the case of Slovakia, so she gets the quota.

Quotas for    and  because Spain has 2 girls in SFs.

1. Individual men foil (I am excited with the Spanish return in this sport after 13 years), K4 500 and men basketball.

2.  for sure. The third one depends on the sport and the athlete, but I would say Central-American nations in general or 

3.  Rafael Nadal (tennis), Pau Gasol (basketball) and Carolina Marín (badminton). I decided to name three Spanish athletes, but if I have to choose foreign athletes I would say Usain Bolt (athletics), Valentina Vezzali (fencing) and Sebastian Brendel (canoeing)

There should be some same-sex couple participating together in some event. I remember cases in team sports in the past.

It was the case of Breanna Stewart  and Marta Xargay  in basketball 5 years ago.

1 and 6.

We should have won that game after being 4 points up against Japan, but the girls played extremely bad at the end.

I hope none of these women represent Spain again internationally. We have dozens of players better than these, so the federation should try to convince them to play 3x3.

And we won! It was easier than expected, but still a long way to get the quota.

This should be close between boxing and weighlifting. Both are awful due to the last minute changes
