 Diego Del Real - 78.68 NR
 
Hoping for an Olympic final once more.

this is a summary of my predictions, just to see which countries are over the limit. at moment nobody has more than 4. but Japan can easily make it 7 by sending 81, 109 and +109 guys to Colombia. then they have to pick 4 out 7. I think none of them are serious medal contenders but they collected good ranking points. the only country "possible" to qualify in all 7 weights.
 
South Korea also has someone eligible at +109kg and their 67kg guy also can make it to the list by having a mediocre result in Colombia. they have to pick 4 too.
 
China also has to pick 4 out of 6. but I assume we already know who are those 4.
 
Colombia has 4 but they are very close to get banned completely
 
has just 1 quota while they have more than 1 athlete inside the qualification zone
has to pick 2. are limited to 2. right now they have just 1 in my table but it can be 3 (still have to pick 2)

I believe only few athletes are 100% safe. (mostly top 4-5 in the ranking in each weight) the rest has to wait for their own coach's decision and also what other countries will do.

Prithika is just 16 years old. I think by 20 or 24 she could be the one of the best table tennis players in the world. She was born in Pondicherry, India which is a French colony and like many others  studied in a French School and later went to France and settled down.

Speaking of that, I just uploaded my first vivid memory of the Summer Games yesterday, the women's epée finals in Athens: https://ok.ru/video/2106717833822
 
I remembered being very stressed out by it as child, but I didn't exactly know why before watching all of it again. Now I know, even as an adult I would have been exhausted by the end of it because we didn't just have two fencers in the semi-finals, but both semi-finals ended up with 15-14. I think this is also the last time two Hungarians were in the Top4 in the same individual Olympic event. 

I'm really sad with what happened to Pihan. Now that she would probably have a chance to go to the balance beam final, she had to sustain a career-ending injury during the all-around competition. What bad luck.

Now, about the all-around competition, I don't want to be salty but I can't stand Melnikova receving scores she doesn't deserve anymore. She's awarded medals she should never, ever, receive. Two falls and a silver medal thrown on her lap. Disgusting.

He's not going to the Olympics for sure, but Valentina Rodionenko still stated that he's being considered for the team. The Rodionenkos are completely insane, we all know it, but ValRod has now shown how out of touch with reality she is. What an irresponsible, dangerous person. Dalaloyan needs to recover. Period. He should only be back to full training in six months.

best of day #1
 
Freya Anderson winning the women's 200m Free in 1.56.80 (qualification standard by British Swimming), Kieran Bird qualifying in the men's 400m Free in 3.46.00, Aimee Wilmott also qualified in the women's 400 IM in 4.35.80, Harriet Jones earning the flight to Japan in the women's 100m Fly in 57.79 and finally the 2 "bombs", the world leading time by Adam Peaty in the men's 100m Breast (57.39, he's already officially named for the Olympics together with James Wilby in this discipline) and by Duncan Scott in the men's 200m IM, a stunning 1.55.90 (also Joe Litchfield qualified in this race with his 2nd place in 1.57.74)...

Bravo!!! :-))))

Looks like all these predictions we can find online are really stupid.
 
We have to do it by ourselves ;-)

I did what you suggested, I am uploading the unedited footage (what the MTVA aired last year) to this OK channel: https://ok.ru/video/c4394078
 
Two of the episodes are already there, and I will upload (slowly) the other two Barcelona episodes today. 
 
I will also announce in this thread if I uploaded something more to that channel, I think I will be able to share some stuff from Atlanta.
