Salim Jemai (Canoe Slalom) First Canoe Slalom paddler picked as flag bearer in Paris

14 Olympic Games in total. Very limited small memories from Lillehammer 1994 though to Torino 2006 much better but definitely not followed in entirity as now (Too young, School duties etc...) however last 8 Olympics since Beijing 2008 in full Olympic fanatic mode. All Time Best: Vancouver 2010 an absolute no brainer. Best OG I saw according to my nations most successful games criteria: Beijing 2008 All Time Least Liked: London 2012 (Same apply also for the according to my nations less successful games view)

Some Canoe Slalom suggestions: Will at least 1 paddler In at least one of the main Men´s events (M C1 & M K1) Final receive a 50 seconds penalty for missing a gate ? Will at least 1 Country win a medal in all 4 main events (M C1, K1 & W C1, K1) ? Will at least 2 non-European countries medal in Canoe Slalom ? Will all M K1 finalists end the Final with clean run ? Will in W main events (W K1 & W C1) at least 1 Qualifiers winner fail to advance to the Final from Semifinal ? Will at least 1 finalist in M or W Kayak-Cross finish the Big Final with a Fault (FLT) ? Will at least 1 country win 2 medals in one Kayak-Cross event ?

and for the subpoll. No special preferences, I will try as usual to arrange my schedule to watch as much finals as possible. For the full integrated program I guess it will be again for the usual Athletics and Canoe Slalom

Yeah, Will watch only the medal races of this one

Sleeping is for the weak However, this time the Olympics will be finally in my very own time zone. So unusual

It´s the Olympics so almost 24/7 as all Summer & Winter Olympics since Beijing 2008. The Couple of Gmaes Before them I watched/followed were more time-consuming, because of school duties and I didn´t have such good relation with my doctor as I have now, so could not stay at home for two weeks

Yes

ITF potvrdila tenisovú miestenku pre Annu Karolínu Schmiedlovú Slovensko bude mať na Hrách XXXIII. olympiády v Paríži zastúpenie aj v tenise. Medzinárodná tenisová federácia ITF potvrdila miestenku pre Annu Karolínu Schmiedlovú do turnaja v ženskej dvojhre. Tenisové olympijské súboje sa budú hrať v areáli Roland Garros. Dvadsaťdeväťročná rodáčka z Košíc bola vo svetovom rebríčku k 10. júnu po skončení grandslamového parížskeho turnaja Roland Garros, na základe ktorého sa prideľujú miestenky na Hry XXXIII. olympiády, na 80. mieste. Právo štartu podľa rebríčka má 56 tenistiek, pričom platí zásada, že z jednej krajiny môžu získať miestenku maximálne štyri hráčky. Schmiedlová sa do olympijského pavúka dostala na základe toho, že viaceré krajiny majú v prvej osemdesiatke viac ako 4 zástupkyne a niektoré tenistky sa práva štartovať v Paríži vzdali. Miestenku pre slovenskú ženskú jednotku už Slovenskému tenisovému zväzu a Slovenského olympijskému a športovému výboru potvrdila ITF. Schmiedlová už raz na olympijských hrách hrala. Predstavila sa v Riu de Janeiro 2016. V prvom kole zdolala Talianku Vinciovú 7:5, 6:4 a potom prehrala s Ruskou Makarovovou 6:3, 4:6, 2:6. Článok prevzatý z SOŠV.sk

Truly remarkable after he almost did not even survive the 1st stage. You can think about Cav watever you want, some likes him, some not and I can absolutely understand why but the guy is really something else coming to sprints

Team Update (03.07.2024) 26 Qualified athletes in 12 Sport for Slovakia Race Walker Mária Katerinka Czaková became the 26th Slovak officially qualified athlete for the 2024 Olympics in Paris. She managed to make it to her 4th Consecutive Olympics (48th in London 2012, 48th in Rio 2016 and 45th in Tokyo 2020(1) all in the W 20km Race Walk) by finishing in 38th position in the World Athletics Road to Paris Qualification Ranking as the sole new name added to our Olympic team from Athletics. In other hand worth to mention that 3 other Slovak athletes became thanks to this World Ranking Double-Starters in Paris 2024. Viktória Forster already qualified in the W 100m Hurdles via entry standard managed to qualify through the Ranking also for the W 100m Dash. Also the famous Race walking engaged couple Dominik Černý and Hana Burzalová (both already qualified as our Mixed Relay representatives) did qualify by virtue of this ranking also in their respective individual 20km Race Walking events. Baring any eventual but unlikely reallocation : (W Table Tennis - Barbora Balážová, W Boxing -60kg - Miroslava Jedináková) First alternates* *Same for W Tennis - Anna Karolína Schmiedlová, but here it is still not certain she will even accept it (W Triathlon - Zuzana Michaličková) 2nd Alternate (W 400m Hurdles - Daniela Ledecká) 3rd Alternate (M 200m Ján Volko) 4th Alternate (M 100m Ján Volko) 6th Alternate This should be the final Team. 12 Sports (29 Events in Total) The smallest delegation ever, Summer or Winter Olympics included.

Chodci majú miestenky, dvojboj pre Forsterovú Univerzálka Viktória Forster na 100 m prekážok a napokon i hladkej stovke, Gabriela Gajanová na 800 m, Mária Katerinka Czaková, Hana Burzalová a medzi mužmi Dominik Černý v chôdzi na 20 km a okrem toho aj Burzalová s Černým v chodeckej miešanej štafete na maratónskej trati (náhradníci Katerinka Czaková a takisto cestujúci Miroslav Úradník) – takto sa momentálne črtá atletické zastúpenie vo výprave slovenských športovcov na olympijské hry 2024 v Paríži. Uzávierka kvalifikačného cyklu nazvaného Road to Paris bola v nedeľu 30. júna a rebríček ku kľúčovému 2. júlu dostal definitívnu podobu po utorňajšej polnoci v najneskorších časových pásmach planéty. Poradie má v zmysle budúceho olympijského štartu veľkú výpovednú hodnotu, zároveň sa však nedá vnímať ako nemenné, a to najmä z pohľadu predbežne tesne „nekvalifikovaných“ atlétov. Teraz totiž v rámci vopred známeho procesu bude nasledovať potvrdzovanie záujmu o štart u jednotlivých športovcov sponad čiary aj adeptov pod ňou k 4. júlu prostredníctvom národných zväzov. Následne sa počas 5. a 6. júla uskutoční administratívna aktualizácia u World Athletics, ktorá potom zverejní „preškrtaný“ konečný rebríček v nedeľu 7. júla. V pondelok 8. júla príde na rad inštancia prihlášok od jednotlivých NOV – v prípade Slovenska SOŠV. Zo štyroch najväčších otáznikov, ktoré v súvislosti so slovenskými uchádzačmi platili pred uplynulým víkendom bohatým na národné šampionáty vrátane toho v Banskej Bystrici, priniesli – stále nezáväzne – pozitívnu odpoveď dva. Išlo o štart Forster na 100 m (istotu na stovke s prekážkami mala ako limitárka dávnejšie, to isté vicemajsterka Európy Gajanová na 800 m) a Burzalovej v individuálnej chodeckej súťaži na 20 km. V nepríjemnej neistote zostávajú Ján Volko a Daniela Ledecká. Volko je na 200 m na 52. pozícii v redukovanom poradí už zohľadňujúcom kvóty maximálneho počtu účastníkov z jednej krajiny, čo z neho zatiaľ robí štvrtého šprintéra „mimo“. Má priemer 1197 renkingových bodov, Panamčan Alonso Edward na 48. pozícii ako nateraz poslednej nad čiarou 1203 b. Na 100 m sa Volko nachádza na 62. priečke ako šiesty „out“ (56 aktérov). O čosi lepšie je na tom Ledecká – na 43. mieste tretia čakateľka na 400 m prekážok, kde sa pri Seine predstaví štyridsať bežkýň. Napokon komfortne sa zmestila Forster na 100 m (42., olympijských aktérok bude 56) a pomerne bezpečne aj Burzalová (44. zo 48), ktorá si k posunu z háklivej 47. pozície pomohla nedeľňajším triumfom a predovšetkým slovenským rekordom na 20 000 m na dráhe Národného atletického štadióna VŠC Dukla.

what a hold up

Was Yellow only for 24 hours but still huge moment that was for

Volko failed to qualify

Maybe they don´t know she is injured

If anything, this tournament showed us that the gap between the so-called big ones and small ones is definitely shrinking and except in that opener against the little ones did not give anything to the big ones for free This and own goals are nowadays an important and often used weapon in tactics

Yuesey out, Panama through. Bolivia scored a goal ! Shocking night

well, that was quite anticlimatic exit at the end for the Slov teams
