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.

I say you at this rate Gombos will end with a bye in 1st round 2 weeks ago he was 19th outside the qualifying cut-off, a couple of more withdrawals and he can finish by being seeded

Patrick Konrad had already increased the lead to 1 minute. looks like second win for BORA this year

SLOVAK ROAD TO TOKYO 2020 - SLOVENSKÁ CESTA DO TOKIA 2020 UPDATED POST Replacement of 17th NOC Quota Lukáš KUBIŠ - ROAD CYCLING (M ROAD RACE, M INDIVIDUAL TIME TRIAL) Tvrdá rana pre Petra Sagana Zranenie ho pripravilo o olympiádu v Tokiu, nahradí ho mladý Kubiš Slovenský cyklista Peter Sagan sa zo zdravotných dôvodov nezúčastní na olympijských hrách v Tokiu. O zmenu nominácie už v liste Slovenskému olympijskému a športovému výboru (SOŠV) oficiálne požiadal Slovenský zväz cyklistiky (SZC). Slovensko budú 24. júla v pretekoch s hromadným štartom reprezentovať Juraj Sagan a Lukáš Kubiš. Trojnásobný majster sveta po odstúpení z Tour de France absolvoval v Monaku úspešnú operáciu kolena. Infekcia síce nezasiahla kolenný kĺb, napokon však operácia a zdravotné problémy znemožnili Petrovi Saganovi štartovať pod piatimi kruhmi. V nominácii ho nahradil Kubiš, 21-ročný člen Dukly Banská Bystrica bol podľa rozhodnutia komisie cestnej cyklistiky SZC prvý náhradník. Informoval o tom portál olympic.sk. "Aj keď tie okolnosti boli, aké boli, som rád, že sa mi podarilo nominovať na OH dokonca hneď pri mojej prvej šanci. Som veľmi šťastný a hrdo budem reprezentovať Slovensko na takomto vrcholnom fóre. S aktuálnou formou sme spokojní, aj keď to ešte, samozrejme, musíme ďalej ladiť. Ďakujem všetkým za podporu. Petrovi prajeme skoré zotavenie a návrat do sedla i na pódiá. Držte nám palce," priniesol SZC vyjadrenie Kubiša. Peter Sagan si prvýkrát zranil koleno v 3. etape TdF. Austrálčan Caleb Ewan v špurte zavadil o predné koleso ďalšieho cyklistu, spadol na zem a so sebou zobral aj Slováka. Ten si neskôr to isté koleno udrel o riadidlá a dostala sa mu doň infekcia. Preto pred 12. etapou oznámil, že na Tour končí. Na OH štartoval prvýkrát v Londýne 2012, v Riu de Janeiro 2016 súťažil v horskej cyklistike.

hey @Wumo what is this question ? 87 - Rory Sabbatini (SVK) will finish ahead of Ondrej Lieser (CZE) in men's event. [YES/NO - X]

Peter Sagan (Road cycling) that crash with Caleb ewan in the 3rd stage of the TdF appeared to be more costly. Yesterday Peter had to undergo surgery and today the medical staff did not recommend him to compete in Tokyo He was aiming for his 3rd Olympics in 2nd sport (London 2012 our sole Road cycling athlete, Rio 2016 our sole MTB cycling athlete...this time we finally qualified also a teammate for him and he picked his brother Juraj...) oh well, thats so sad and disappointing. Lukáš Kubiš will replace him and join Juraj Sagan in the road race.

Team Slovakia 4 (2+2) MEN'S C1: Matej Beňuš K1: Jakub Grigar WOMEN'S C1: Monika Škáchová K1: Eliška Mintálová ----------------------------------------------------------------- Other Sports Introductions Archery, Athletics, Badminton, Boxing, Canoeing Sprint, Road Cycling, Golf, Artistic Gymnastics, Shooting, Swimming, Table Tennis, Tennis, Wrestling The most successful Olympic sport of the country. Slovakia participated at every single Olympics and won 14 medals in this sport since the independence (8 Golds - 3 Silvers - 3 Bronzes) which rank the nation to 1st place in the historic all-time Canoeing Slalom Olympics medal tally. Slovakia is also the all-times record holder in the now inexisting M C2 class with 4 golds & 1 bronze (3 Golds in a row by the Hochschorner Brothers is still one of the biggest Olympic achievements not only in Slovak sport) In addition, Slovakia holds also a respectable record streak, the country has won a medal in the C1 men in all its participations since independence (1996 Gold, 2000 Silver & Bronze, 2004 Silver, 2008 Gold, 2012 Bronze, 2016 Silver) Only one time happened that Slovakia did not qualify in all events for the Olympics, paradoxically it happened at the most successful games in Beijing 2008, when Slovakia won 3 gold medals out of 3 events, we sadly failed to qualify for the M K1 there. This time again Slovakia qualified in all events, the full possible team of 4 athletes (2M + 2W) the delegation will include two returning athletes from Rio 2016 (both men) and two olympic debutatnts (both women) the only athlete with olympic medal experience in the team being Matej Beňuš. Matej Beňuš will return to the Olympics for the second time in his career after his debut in Rio 2016 (Silver medal), the 33 years old paddler will have the hard task to keep the nations olympic medal streak in this discipline. Probably the athlete who will have to face the biggest pressure of all our delegation based on whole nation expectations. To qualify for the Olympics in this event is very difficult for a Slovak C1 athlete, with only 1 quota available you have not only to qualify the country to the games but on the way also beat your own countrymen opponents, the likes of Alexander Slafkovský or the world sport legend Michal Martikán. They are all still 10 times consecutive C1 Team world champions... Jakub Grigar 24 years old, just like Beňuš will also compete at his 2nd Olympics in a row. Still young K1 paddler will try to improve his 5th place from Rio 2016 where he as Semifinal winner missed the medal by some 0.2 seconds and gold by 0.9 in the very last gates combination of the final. Jakub was the first Slovak canoe slalom paddler to earn his Tokyo berth, alreay at the 2019 world championships he secured the quota for himself. Grigar travelled to Japan in good mood after he won the last World cup race before Tokyo in Germany last month. Monika Škáchová 20 years old. Will be the first slovak Canoe female competitor at the Olympics in history, debuting in the very first edition of the W C1. Slovakia btw survived some scare here since we won the quota as the very last country, at the European Championships in Italian Ivrea this May. Monika secured the quota by earning the last single available quota place and by finishing higher of all other slovak competitiors. Eliška Mintálová 21 years old, is another sign of the raising new generation, She managed to qualify for her first careers Olympics by defeating experienced olympians Jana Dukátová and Elena Kaliská in the internal qualifiers, that is already a achievement by itself. The country qualified for Tokyo in this event at the World Championships in La Seu d´Urgell 2019 alongside of both men events.

RTVS released the schedule from Monday (day 3) to Sunfay (Day 9) and it looks pretty good so far I must say, very unusual, they even managed to put all Finals of the day to the schedule RTVS 2 https://www.rtvs.sk/program?&date=2021-07-26

Smallest team ever for as well. first time no Basketball, must be terrible for them, one can not even imagine

37 Živilė Vaiciukevičiūtė ended her career and refused to go if I understand correctly https://www.ltok.lt/d-gudzineviciute-apie-rekordiskai-maza-olimpine-rinktine-tai-nelogiskos-reformos-rezultatas/?fbclid=IwAR2AblIf5YboRzpYJBtl4YOdsUzWlqzBZn09xszI3Id-_VmQYIAXVo4EBWM Athletics 11 Swimming 6 Modern Pentathlon 3 Sailing 2 Rowing 5 Artistic Gymnastics 1 Road Cycling 2 Track Cycling 2 Greco-Roman Wresling 1 Judo 1 Shooting 1 Canoeing Sprint 1 Weightlifting 1

what will happen if USA will somehow fail to qualify for the gold medal match ? NBC ordered the M Basketball to be played the morning Japan time, many hours before the bronze medal game, will they just change it to the usual schedule then ? Obviously there no chance USA will miss the basketball final, was just more a hypothetical question

even the rice is packed in a bag
