And all of a sudden Portugal is not so safe anymore. Torrao was trending at 72%, but mistakes dropped it to 68.9%...

 

After three riders gone, are holding the Olympic quota places.

Our last rider I think is the best... fingers crossed. Would be amazing to have a team back in the Olympics after so many decades...

thank you! I'm always a bit lost on equestrian websites!

Where can we follow the results? =)

Wow second place in 5000 meters for Portugal, her first time running the 5000 and after running the 3000m yesterday she becomes U20 european leader of the year, that is the way to start in a new distance ! XD

Portugal SBs puts them (without the 4x100 and 4x400) in an average position of 5.61 for men and 5.17 for Women so I guess we can expect a 5-6th position and victories in both sexes in triple jump and in women discus

Looks like Portugal took this event too seriously, being debutants and all.

Most of the sports no...

Triathlon and Canoe are in good force for sure.

But for example the Judo federation just said that the main ones are not going because it doesn't count to Tokyo qualification and those that go are going as a training. 

Important 3 points for Portugal! Ronaldo and Patrício (goalkeeper!) were very important!

Portuguese delegation: 233 athletes

http://comiteolimpicoportugal.pt/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Tarragona2018.pdf

Some sports are in good force with the best competing: Canoe, Judo, Triathlon, Swimming, Shooting, taekwondo

Some are with 2nd and 3rd line athletes: cycling, table tennis, tennis, golf, Sailing...

Some are a mix: Athletics is a good example... Some major major gaps: no one competing in the half marathon? where we had the women European gold and bronze in the last European championships? There are some good athletes but no real major ones, exception to Patrícia Mamona that is the European champion in Triple Jump, 6th in the Olympics, but she just comes from surgery so who knows...

Best medal hypothesis in terms of sports will be by this order: Judo, Canoe, Taekwondo, Triathlon, and Shooting I think.

Why the choice of K2 500 and not K2 1000 in canoe? why chosing a non-olimpic distance? 

And also no K2 for Women...

only 5 event in canoe

I think it'll be a good idea if everyone here from countries participating in the games state his most internationally recognized athletes in any sport so we can better judge how strong will be these games 

Portuguese delegation is going to be announced tomorrow...

But from what I know Silver medalist in London (k2 1000) and triple European Champion Fernando Pimenta (K1000) will be In canoe sprint.

Also 12 times European medalist and Bronze in Rio Telma Monteiro is expected to be in Judo -57. 

5th placed in Rio João Pereira is also in the list for Triatlon... 

This are the big names known so far for the Portuguese delegation. Some more will probably be in the list.

Spanish Delegation:

Same number (5) of A-finals for Portugal obtained in the first day: M K4-500; M C2-1000; M K1-1000; M K1-500; W K2-500.

Bad result for W K4-500 where I would expect a final A (almost there still...) , but surprising result in C2-1000 where I did not expect a final A...

I can't find the article where i read it... It was from when it was announced that Portugal has been approved...

Something about Greece fearing that Portugal could be a "similar sized country" competing with them for medals... 

That part was like a comment from someone with some information, but the part that it was Greece that opposed (for whatever reason, was really explicit in the article).

In the news here in Portugal (from when we joined) they talked that Greece opposed the Portugal entry (Portugal Olympic committe wanted to join for several years).

  Portugal 3 - 2 Spain  in extra time.

Portugal becomes the new European champion.

 Russia 2 - 3 Portugal 

Portugal is the first finalist.

 Portugal 8 - 1 Azerbaijan

Portugal into the semi-final against Russia.

First time Portugal wins a Senior medal in Track Cycling, and won 2, a silver and a gold (by 2 twin brothers), Portugal has never been represented in the Olympics in Track Cycling so maybe Tokyo 2020 will be a debut!!!

I actually have not been following that much the Olympic qualification, i've been a bit stuck with work 

 

But I'm glad some other portuguese is here! I'll sure need help for the anual Totallympics song contest, since I now live in The Netherlands and have no idea about the new portuguese songs from this past year.....

Para o jogo de canções não sei se posso ajudar muito, também estive fora uns anos, agora estou em Portugal mas não ando muito a par... nem sei que estilo de musicas funcionam nesse concurso.

Quanto a qualificação ainda quase nada começou. O futebol... Mas vou acompanhando os atletas do Judo nas grandes competições, bem como o Atletismo

 3 - 1 

What a shame the Portuguese game... Incredible...

Hope tonight we play better for the World Cup qualification

Hey fellow Portuguese, anyone wants to comment Portuguese Olympic qualification for 2020?

cheers
