Biedermann's super-suited world record is gone! 
 
Lukas Märtens Throws Down 3:39.96 WORLD RECORD In 400 Free, Breaking 2009 Super-Suited Mark

Given men's football is the one event in all of the Olympics where the best athletes aren't allowed to compete... not sure how this move is "pure wokism". The women's tournament is essentially a mini world cup, the men's tournament is a side show we tolerate because it generates ticket sales.
 
Would be a different story, of course, if the men's event wasn't a U23 competition that isn't even within a FIFA window.

Rather negative  
 
Both towards Vollering and towards the coach, who has been making a mess of this for years now (like Tokyo). Vollering literally said "it was not good for me that Markus and Vos were still in the front towards the end"  
 
One of the most well-known journalists (albeit a bit of a drama queen, but in this case, he's right): "Absurdly bad race by Vollering. Unbelievable."
 
An entire analysis titled "Vollering only thought of herself and threw away and almost certain Dutch medal":

Vollering: "They were all riding just to make me lose"

The 100th time Vollering shows she should simply not be in a team like this. It is always trouble, every single time. We need a team with like 6 Marianne Vos clones, she has the experience, she can read a race like absolutely nobody else in the world can and she plays her role, whether that's the team captain or working for someone else, without complaining and to the fullest extent.
 
Vollering is the exact opposite of Vos. Vollering rides for Team Vollering, which consists of Demi Vollering. No matter what.

It's time for the luge sprint events to become olympic. A luge sprint Mixed-Teamrelay wouldn't be a bad idea either.

Of course I was joking. I don't even understand why these events exist in first place. They are competing at the same exact same tracks as in normal races (of course), but for whatever reason the time only starts to run halfway through. What nonsense.

Martens wins gold!

Ja. Der DOSB hat es verkündet.

Anna-Maria Wagner (Judo) and Dennis Schröder (Basketball)

Im Hockey gibt es auch noch eine Änderung. Julia Sonntag fällt aus. Lisa Schneider rückt nach.
 
Und im Handball Kai Häfner statt Franz Semper.

The Games 2020 were in Asia, which made it easier for Asian's teams to qualify, because Japan was automatically qualified in most team events. Just like it's easier to qualify for European teams this time.

Hätte er sowieso nicht, weil es durch die Universality Places zu viele Teilnehmer gab, und er dadurch rausgeflogen ist. Deshalb war der DOSB auch einverstanden, Winkler im Einzel zu nominieren, weil er niemandem den Startplatz wegnimmt.

So, Stand heute aktualisiert!

Having Dehning for Silver in Men's Javelin shows that they were just looking at the SBs. At least in some events. 

Congrats  Best team of the tournament won the title.  I wish, we had played you later, but that's how it is.
 
And sorry for the booing against Cucrella, that was really embarassing.
