Nobody for :CRO from Buenos Aires, but there are a couple from 2010 (Matić, Pavić) and 2014 (Plantić, Pucar, Jelić).

 

It's interesting to note that the first ever YOG athletes' oath taker - :SGP Caroline Chew - will make her Olympic debut in Tokyo.

Hello everyone. A nice topic to start posting here.

:GRE - Rowing - Maria Kyridou/Christina Bourbou (womens pair) - Gold

 

 

 

For Greece, Fani Tzeli will be competing in tae kwon do, along with the rowers. Tzeli won bronze in 2018.

 

I'll try a different approach and I'll go by sport.

In swimming, there are a lot medalists from 2018, who are going to Tokyo. I'll name a few. The events mentioned are those in which they got the medal in 2018, not (necessarily) the ones they are swimming this time.

 

:HUNHungary

Milak 200 free gold, 400 free gold, 200 fly gold, 100 butterfly silver

Kesely 200 free gold, 400 free gold, 800 free gold

 

:AUSAustralia

McKeown 50 backstroke gold, 100 backstroke silver, 200 backstroke bronze

Hodges 100 breaststroke silver

 

:RUSRussia

Minakov 50 butterfly gold, 100 butterfly gold, 100 freestyle gold

Kolesnikov 50 backstroke gold, 100 backstroke gold, 200 backstroke gold

 

:ITAItaly 

Burdisso 100 butterfly bronze, 200 butterfly bronze

Ceccon 50 free gold, 50 backstroke silver, 100 backstroke bronze, 200 IM silver

De Tullio 400 free silver, 800 free bronze

 

:CZECzech Republic 

Seemanova 50 free gold, 100 free gold, 200 free bronze

Gorbenko 200 IM gold

 

:USAUSA

White 200 backstroke bronze

Probably, there will be more who will compete in relays, plus those who didn't win a medal back then, but will swim in Tokyo.

For Greece we have 4 confirmed so far. In addition to gold medalists Christina Bourmpou (rowing) and Maria Kyridou (rowing) and bronze medalist Fani Tzeli (taekwondo), we also have 5th placed Katerina Divari (sailing).

 

Gold medalist Elina Tzengko (javelin throw) will go up in the Road to Tokyo rankings and will be close but will need 3-4 withdrawals or so in order to make it to Tokyo.

 

 

From our 2010 YOG team, we have Alexios Ntanatsidis (judo) making his Olympic debut in Tokyo, while Panagiotis Samilidis (swimming) won't be in Tokyo but was in London and Rio.

 

From our 2014 YOG team, we have Theodora Gkountoura (fencing) making her Olympic debut in Tokyo, with silver medalist Apostolos Christou (swimming) and Anna Korakaki (shooting) going to Tokyo after making their Olympic debuts in Rio. Aikaterini Kontochristopoulou (fencing) won't be in Tokyo but she was in Rio.

 

 

So in Tokyo it seems that we will have 4 athletes from the 2018 Youth Olympics and 8 athletes total from any Youth Olympics.
