I have arranged 3 weeks vacation from work during the Olympics also. I will also be going to the Olympics so I am just excited for everything  

Cycling - Men's road race 
Swimming - Women's 200m breaststroke
Waterpolo - Women's tournament
Rowing - Men's Eight
Hockey - Women's tournament
Athletics - 4x400 mixed relay
Track cycling - Men's and Women's keirin 
Judo - Women's -63kg
Beach volleyball - Men's tournament
Handball - Women's tournament
 
Today I arranged two weeks off from work during the Olympics. Couldn't be happier 

For me it's mainly all the swimming and athletics (evening sessions are a must) and all the artistic gymnastics finals.
 
Then - from Polish perspective - men's volleyball, women's singles tennis and speed climbing - women's speed.
 
Then all the road cycling and all the rowing, canoe sprint and canoe slalom finals.
 
Men's basketball, men's and women's handball and men's rugby sevens.
 
Men's singles tennis. Beach volleyball. All the triathlon events, men's golf (days 3 and 4). MTB, BMX races, track cyclng, equestrian jumping and eventing (mainly cross-country).
 
Then almost all the other sports - especially when Poles will be performing well. Women's volleyball, fencing, shooting, table tennis, modern pentathlon... And some sports where i don't think Poles will be strong or there will be no Poles at all - badminton, archery, diving... Combat sports are less interesting for me, but maybe some judo and men's boxing...
 
So almost everything actually...
 
I have my olympic 3-weeks vacation already secured long time ago, so it's time to look at the schedule and check the most interesting events of each day
 
 
Btw, this time all the olympic events will be broadcasted here in Poland on a new platform called MAX, which is not available here yet (they start in June i guess), i hope they will be no worse than Eurosport Player in Tokyo
 
 

1) Canoeing Slalom M C2
2) Canoeing Sprint M K4-1000m
3) M 50km Race Walk
4) Mixed Trap
5) Canoeing Sprint M K2-1000m
 
oh wait...

wins over 4-2 in extra time

Imagine Slovakia qualify in Sailing and failing in Canoeing Sprint ... this world is really upside down lately

Poland can qualify a maximum of 2 crews, and only if they both win the event. If 3 win their event, they’ll have to choose two. 
 
If only one crew wins, but multiple finish in qualifying position (or none win, but finish in qualifying positions), Poland can choose only one quota 

First prelims today
 
Women’s single (top 2 from each heat into finals)
 
 
 
Men’s singles (top 2 from each heat into SF)
 
 
 
Lightweight women double (prelim race order)
 
 
 
lightweight men (top one into final)
 
 
 
in the first heat  &  both close to Poland. In second, Ukraine just beat  
 
Suspect all other crews out of quota contention 

You can name 5 
or you can name 50
or maybe you can name 1-2 or more for each day
it’s up to you!

GEORGIOU Marios  with quota.

meanwhile in the Mixed Air Pistol the current situation is:
 
17 teams qualified (many of them only combining shooters qualified via the 25m Pistol events)
