Great run, with not the fastest first 100m but excellent second part. Clearly, one of the top SVK sport results of the year behind Vlhová or hockey win over RUS at WCH and football win over POL at EURO. I am very happy

Nice win for Mollema after a brave 40km solo effort. Also the great day for Cofidis and Martin ... Guillaume Martin...who jumped to an unexpected 2nd place in the GC

Kinda weird for sure, but still The most important is the contact with the water in the venue, this is why all canoe alalom atletes are already in Tokyo, they all are training in the venue, because due covid the official mandatory test and training camps for all participants were not allowed, the organizers found a way now two weeks before the games and all teams are already training daily there.

definitely not. but I believe she could make it to the semifinals. it would be a fantastic success for her and for the whole Slovak athletics. However, it will definitely depend also on the draw of the heats. but we never had such promising prospect in athletics for sure. If she will keep her focus and continue to work hard she will have a chance foa a very nice career.

54.28 Zapletalová new NR, first ever sub 55s 400H women and new U23 ECH record. Super Emma. and now go for that dreamed Olympic semifinal !

Did not notice that, because I am going by order MS then MD etc.. haha, Thanks

Italy is not listed in the M Doubles I know it is becuse Sinner withdrawal but now there only 30 pairs in MD listed, I guess it is just a mistake and ITA will have both dounles at the end..so I will keep both ITA doubles in the thread without names for now

ITF released Last updated entries, should be the final one https://event.itftennis.com/media/319254/319254.pdf

Team Slovakia 1 (1+0) MEN'S Individual: Rory Sabbatini ----------------------------------------------------------------- Other Sports Introductions Archery, Athletics, Boxing, Badminton, Canoeing Slalom, Canoeing Sprint, Road Cycling, Artistic Gymnastics, Shooting, Swimming, Table Tennis, Tennis, Wrestling The only Tokyo 2020(1) sport in which slovakia managed to qualify for the very first time in its history is golf. Thanks to the 45-year-old naturalized South African golfer Rory Sabbatini. Rory will be the oldest athlete in our team, 67 days older than Shooter Erik Varga. Sabbatini was born in Durban, South Africa. He turned professional in the world Golf circuit in 1998, during his career he won 8 tournaments, including 6 PGA Tour events and finished 2nd in the 2007 Masters. The 20th December 2018 Sabbatini became officially Slovak citizen, A citizenship he applied thanks to his marriage with his long time love Martina. She will accompany him in the small 3 members Slovak golf team during this historic moment for Golf in the country as his coach and support, She was originally picked as caddie, but later at the NOC final delegation nomination assembly it was changed, she will be listed as his coach in Tokyo and the president of our Golf federation (Rory´s wife cousin) will assumes the duties of his caddie. Just like for Slovakia also for Sabbatini himself it will be the first Olympics. He was not selected by South Africa for Rio 2016 during the return of the sport under the five rings, now he will be an Olympian in the colors of his new country.

Thanks. but wow, this is huge

So finally another 41 team

Fixed. Thanks

such is the sport, it is as it is. sometimes it bring joy and positive emotions, sometimes not...what can we do, it happened, we won't do anything about that anymore. But the one thing that irritates me the most is South Africa, which nominated Richard Murray, who underwent heart surgery two weeks ago and will definitely not be able to start. I will not buy that he will try blah blah.. it was only on purpose just so they can field a stupid mixed relay and nominate him to the anchor leg when they are certain he will not have to compete since their relay will be lapped before. In this way, they will have another column in the start lists with Mixed relay, but they took the place from a competitor who actually can compete. I still can not believe Richard Varga will miss the games, the best swimmer in the circuit, because of one stupid mistake... nah, let it be. Hockey quota for Beijing will be more important

nah, this is not tennis
