Yes, at this point I do not see any more athletes invited, at least for sports of 1st week, the time is running out, the hosts require a lot of necessary but also a lot of nonsensical things for which there is simply no time to do them. In those sports, I am convinced either they will simply use athletes from other disciplines as double starters or just there will be fewer competitors than the permitted quotas were distributed.

Slovakia received two invitations during last night (Andrej Martin M Singles & Anna Karolína Schmiedlová W Singles). However after quick consultation with both players refused both of the quotas for logical lack of time to complete absurd Japanese administrative tasks and due to already full calendar of both players in the next weeks.

I never watch such films, I prefer rewatch the full events replays

maybe there a reason why they stopped after day 2, they figured out something wrong on the schedulling ?

damn Carapaz is really unlucky this tour. 2nd courageous attempt of this edition finished in vain... ambitious but rubbish like would say someone

Carapaaaz the master of tactic

dumb mistake I admit

and some more pics from the ceremony Ján Volko (Athletics 100m & 200m) receiving his participating decree from the President of the Republic and one for @dcro favorite athlete Rory Sabbatini (Golf) The Oath act by the gymnast Mokošová and Paralympic shooter Malenovský

Almost the whole Refugee Olympic team is in quarantine after one of the team staff member has a positive test. The whole team except 3 athletes who were not with the team? will have to stay isolated in their qatar training camp, it is unknown when they will be able to enter Japan. The other 3 are already flying to Tokyo.

They are right now (we can say LIVE) working on the schedule and I see Li vs Sotomayor as first match of the group on Sunday Day 2 https://olympics.com/tokyo-2020/olympic-games/en/results/badminton/olympic-schedule-and-results-date=2021-07-25.htm

Official oath of our Olympic and Paralympic delegations has been held this morning at the Presidential palace in Bratislava. Barbora Mokošová (Artistic gymnastics @thiago_simoes) for Olympic Games delegation and Radoslav Malenovský (Shooting) for Paralympic Games delegation were honored to read the promise into the hands of the President of the Republic. in return, the president handed to both of them the flags for the ceremonies.

Peter Sagan still listed in our entries...yep, clearly the job in the site is not finished yet

and I am pretty sure all other options will be available as well. They just launched it. so lets wait. for me it looks fine so far, let see how it will work once the games starts

Hope for some good result for the Czechs in this one. Heard some rumors about a guy named Schick being good in long kicks, let see if they are true

no, I meant a M as representing male athletes and a W representing all female ahletes. that is. I do not see anything wrong in this, really

same here, ESPlayer schedule for day -2 is out and there all 3 softball (Well according to Eurosport Baseball ) and all 6 W Football matches streams available. Hope to have everything (camera covered) of the games braodcasted is real

To be fair, personally I do not find it as bad. A oath with 1 male and 1 female is ok. I think this should have been used much earlier. In other hand I do not agree with the "forcing" M+W flagbearer thing, the NOC should have the right to decide itself who, how many and why they want to pick as their flagbearer(s)

Team Slovakia 2 (2+0) MEN'S Road Race: Lukáš Kubiš, Juraj Sagan Individual Time Trial: Lukáš Kubiš ----------------------------------------------------------------- Other Sports Introductions Archery, Athletics, Boxing, Badminton, Canoeing Slalom, Canoeing Sprint, Golf, Artistic Gymnastics, Shooting, Swimming, Table Tennis, Tennis, Wrestling Last 14th sport in which Slovakia will participate in Tokyo 2020. Slovakia never missed the Road Cycling competition at the Olympics since its independence, but never won any medal. Atlanta 1996 (7 athletes 5M+2W), Sydney 2000 (4, 4+0), Athens 2004 (2, 2+0), Beijing 2008 (3, 3+0), London 2012 (1, 1+0), Rio 2016 (1, 1+0) This time the country qualified via UCI Olympic qualifying ranking of 2019 Two quotas for the men competition. The federation logically picked our biggest sport star Peter Sagan to compete at his 3rd olympics, and for the first time to have actually a teammate to help him in the race, he immediately chose his older brother Juraj Sagan. Sadly, Peter will not be able to compete, the former 3 back to back times road race world champion and 7 times Tour de France green jersey winner had an accident during this year edition of Tour de France, it appears at the end to be more costly than we secretly were hoping. Knee surgery last Sunday made it all clear. Peter wanted to represent, the Olympics are basically the only triumph he still missing in his CV and wanted to have fun alongside his brother representing Slovakia at the Olympics. The medical staff was strict and uncomprimising. No olympics, was the verdict. So yesterday, our cycling federation announced the name of his substitute. It will Lukáš Kubiš (yesterday was also decided he will be the one representing the country in Time Trial, Juraj Sagan will go only for the road race, the leader of the team for the road race will be designed at the team meeting in Rio. Lukáš Kubiš 20 years old slovak cycling talent, was yesterday 13th of July 2021, the only happy slovak cycling and sport fan you would found. He received the official invitation to replace injured Peter Sagan in Tokyo. What a moment for the Dukla Banská Bystrica rider to experience his olympic debut already at such young age. Lukáš has some experiences with such event but at the junior level, he will be our sole Buenos Aires 2018 Youth Olympics athlete in Tokyo. Lukáš was also selected to represent Slovakia in Time Trial instead of Juraj Sagan who will now focus only on the road race. Juraj Sagan the 32 years old brother of our sporting world super-star Peter. Bora-Hangrohe rider, known for his endless and devoted work as a "domestique" for leaders in the peloton is going to his first careers Olympics. He expected to work hard in the Road race for his brother and then focus at himself in the time trial. Last days events sadly changed the whole situation, now Juraj will not have his brother with him in Rio and will compete only in the road race, where he is expected to be the team leader.
