4 - Only team sports. Baseball/Softball, Basketball, Basketball 3x3, Field Hockey, Football, Handball, Rugby Sevens, Volleyball Indoor.

 

54 - That is correct

 

100 - The question has now been phrased like this:

100 - Egypt will have at least two athletes in the top 6 in the two events combined. (Two athletes in the top 6 in either men's or women's event or one female and one male athlete that will get a top 6 place each). [YES/NO - X]

 

119 - In that sport, Taekwondo, only.

 

125 - I have reprased the question:

125 - Women's tournament - It will be a repeat of the 2018 World Championship podium (Doesn't have to be in the same order). [YES/NO - X]

 

"For the other contests, if I want to choose the 'any other athlete' option, do I have to specify who this other athlete will be?"

- No, you don't to specify the athlete.

Team sports: and water polo!

@Wumo 

Matteo Berrettini   is withdrawal from Olympic (Tennis Men's Singles /Day 8/July 31st - Miscellaneous 2)

 

Question, for this withdrawal (and others.....) in Miscellaneus Predictions:

 

-obvious...........you can't update all, each day, until the lockdown (and send a message at all users that already posted)

-you can maybe tick the names or write withdrawal in the format ? (if someone post here the athletes w/w for any causes)

-post in discussion the athletes out (before the lockdown)

No, there will not be any team sports prediction contest. 

I will encourage you and other users that are interested in some sort of team sports contest to sign up for this Bracket Challenge: https://olympics.com/tokyo-2020/en/fanzone/olympic-bracket-challenge/
