Why exactly?

I believe the source is MasTKD (here, and the athletes qualified here).

UNITED STATES

Great group for Brazil women's team, should get an "easier" QF - remember that in London we ended in first in Group A and had to face Norway in QF. Here I don't think we will end in first, but the possibility of reaching a semifinal is much bigger now. Like @hoversaBR, I don't have much to say about the men's team. Any group would be hard for them and reaching QF will be difficult.

Ygor Coelho and Lohaynny Vicente will represent Brazil at the Games (the first brazilian athletes to compete in Badminton).

I like it too. I call it the "Reggae Arena"

Future Arena (Handball) More:

It also shows the "efficiency" of the uniforms under athletic movements. I quite like the slovakian uniforms. The one that Richard Varga is wearing is great, and the Opening Ceremony ones are quite good too. The only one that I don't think it worked that well was Marcel Lomnický's pants, but at least they bring something "bold" to the mix (ditto the red leggings for the women).

Going against the grain, I kinda like the Team GB outfits. I just don't think that the bold prints/designs work that well in little pieces of clothing... like in Tom Daley's "uniform"

Nice flexibility It seems that is very common now to have a dance/acrobatic performance during the unveiling of uniforms.

Tokyo 2020 Unveils the Emblems of the 2020 Games Inspired by Traditional Japanese Motif Tokyo 2020 today unveiled the official emblems of the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, "Harmonized Chequered Emblems." The design was highly acclaimed by the public and the Tokyo 2020 Emblems Selection Committee for exemplifying Japan and the city of Tokyo, and for its representation of the spirit of the Tokyo 2020 Vision. Chequered patterns have been popular in many countries around the world throughout history. In Japan, the chequered pattern became formally known as "ichimatsu moyo" in the Edo period (1603-1867), and this chequered design in the traditional Japanese colour of indigo blue expresses a refined elegance and sophistication that exemplifies Japan. Composed of three varieties of rectangular shapes, the design represents different countries, cultures and ways of thinking. It incorporates the message of "Unity in Diversity." It also conveys the fact that the Olympic and Paralympic Games seek to promote diversity as a platform to connect the world. The design was selected following an open competition - the first ever in the Olympic history - which has actively engaged the public over the past seven months. After having shortlisted four designs out of 14,599 received from all over the world, the Tokyo 2020 Emblems Selection Committee selected today the entry submitted by designer Asao Tokolo prior to obtaining the final approval of the Tokyo 2020 Executive Board. Before making its decision and following the unveiling of the four shortlisted emblem designs, the Tokyo 2020 Emblems Selection Committee received opinions expressed by 39,712 members of the public online and 1,804 postcards. Ryohei Miyata, Chair of the Tokyo 2020 Emblems Selection Committee, commented, "Since September last year, it has been a great honour and privilege to chair the Tokyo 2020 Emblems Selection Committee, and to work with my fellow committee members. I am extremely grateful to all members of the committee for their outstanding efforts over the past seven months. From today, these emblems will serve as the face of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games. I very much hope that the emblems will prove popular with people everywhere, and we look forward to your continued support towards the Tokyo 2020 Games." Asao Tokolo, and the three runners-up - Kozue Kuno (Design B), Takaaki Goto (Design C), Chie Fujii (Design D) - all received an award during a ceremony held in Tokyo today. Born in 1969, Asao Tokolo lives in Tokyo. He graduated in Architecture from Tokyo Zokei University, and is currently active as an artist. His works have been featured in several exhibitions in Japan. The ceremony was attended by John Coates, IOC Vice President and Chair of the IOC Coordination Commission for Tokyo 2020; Alex Gilady, IOC member and Vice-Chair of IOC Coordination Commission for Tokyo 2020; Miguel Sagarra, IPC Governing Board member; Yoichi Masuzoe, Governor of Tokyo; Tsunekazu Takeda, IOC Member and Japanese Olympic Committee President; Mitsunori Torihara, Japanese Paralympic Committee Chairman of the Board; and Yoshiro Mori, Tokyo 2020 President. John Coates commented, "The new Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 emblem symbolizes important elements of the Tokyo 2020 Games vision and the underlying concepts of achieving personal best, unity in diversity and connecting to tomorrow. I congratulate the Tokyo 2020 team for the inclusive process that led to this selection. The public engagement in the selection process is another sign of growing interest in the 2020 Games. Interest and excitement will continue to build, in Japan and globally, after the official handoff to Tokyo 2020 at the close of the upcoming Olympic Games Rio 2016. The Tokyo 2020 emblem will become a familiar symbol to people around the world." Miguel Sagarra said, "I would like to congratulate the Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee on the launch of this Paralympic emblem which, over the coming years, will become synonymous with high performance sport and promoting societal change. I would like to thank the 14,599 people who originally submitted designs, the Japanese public for sharing their opinions on the final shortlist of four and the Tokyo 2020 Emblems Selection Committee for their efforts in selecting the final Olympic and Paralympic emblems. The Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games emblem is something that will be fully embraced, not just by the people of Japan and Asia, but by citizens around the world. The Paralympic Games are the world's number one sporting event for driving social inclusion and this emblem not only conveys the qualities and traditions of Japan but the excellence of the Para athletes we can expect to see competing in Tokyo in four years' time." Yoshiro Mori said, "It is my most earnest wish that the winning emblems, which have been selected from among almost 15,000 design entries, will receive wide acclaim as the symbols of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games."

Do you know if any of those uniforms from Slovenia will be used in the Opening Ceremony? Brazil has unveiled some uniforms, but still has to present the outfit for the ceremonies.

I think Cesar Cielo (Swimming) fits the criteria.

Brazil's Team, as announced by CBDA here. Men (20) Bruno Fratus (50m Freestyle) Ítalo Duarte (50m Freestyle) Marcelo Chierighini (100m Freestyle / 4x100m Freestyle Relay / 4x100m Medley Relay*) Nicolas Oliveira (100m Freestyle / 200m Freestyle / 4x100m Freestyle Relay) João de Lucca (200m Freestyle / 4x100m Freestyle Relay) Matheus Santana (4x100m Freestyle) Luiz Altamir Melo (400m Freestyle) Miguel Valente (1500m Freestyle) Brandonn Almeida (1500m Freestyle / 400m Individual Medley) João Gomes Jr (100m Breaststroke / 4x100m Medley Relay*) Felipe França (100m Breaststroke) Tales Cerdeira (200m Breaststroke) Thiago Simon (200m Breaststroke) Guilherme Guido (100m Backstroke / 4x100m Medley Relay) Leonardo de Deus (200m Backstroke / 200m Butterfly) Kaio Márcio Almeida (200m Butterfly) Henrique Martins (100m Butterfly / 4x100m Medley Relay*) Marcos Macedo (100m Butterfly) Henrique Rodrigues (200m Individual Medley) Thiago Pereira (200m Individual Medley) Women (9) Etiene Medeiros (50m Freestyle / 100m Freestyle / 100m Backstroke / 4x100m Freestyle Relay) Graciele Herrmann (50m Freestyle) Larissa Oliveira (100m Freestyle / 200m Freestyle / 4x100m Freestyle Relay / 4x200m Freestyle Relay) Manuella Lyrio (200m Freestyle / 4x100m Freestyle Relay / 4x200m Freestyle Relay) Jessica Bruin (4x200m Freestyle Relay) Gabrielle Roncatto (4x200m Freestyle Relay) Daiene Dias (100m Butterfly) Daynara de Paula (100m Butterfly / 4x100m Freestyle Relay) Joanna Maranhão (200m Individual Medley / 400m Individual Medley) This does not count the 3 athletes qualified for Open Water. If we confirm our quotas for Men's 4x200m Freestyle Relay and Women's 4x100m Medley Relay, the number of athletes might rise. Athletes marked with "*" are not 100% guaranteed in the Medley Relay, since 2 athletes have qualified for each individual event and the selection for the Relay will be determined by their performance on those.

Maria Lenk Trophy (Brazilian trials) - Day 6 Men's 50m Freestyle - Bruno Fratus (21.50) and Ítalo Duarte (21.82) Men's 100m Butterfly - Henrique Martins (52.14) and Marcos Macedo (52.17) Men's 1500m Freestyle - Miguel Valente (15:14.40) and Brandonn Almeida (15:14.58) Women's 50m Freestyle - Etiene Medeiros (24.64) and Graciele Herrmann (24.92) No athletes qualified in Women's 200m Backstroke and Women's 800m Freestyle. 29 qualified athletes, possibly a little more if we confirm our quota in the two remaining relays. Brazil will have an athlete in all Men's events, but as usual our Women's side isn't very strong.

It was something a little expected, to be honest. Since last year he wasn't able to achieve a time under 22. Today he achieved 21.91, but still not able to surpass Fratus and Ítalo (the two qualifiers since last year Open).

I'm gonna wait all events to post the results of brazilian trials today, but Cesar Cielo didn't achieve one of the best two times in 50m Freestyle and is out of the Olympics.
