While the Japanese administration continues to curtail the feasibility of the Summer Olympic Games while the International Olympic Committee rushes to bounce back and calm things down, the story of the game criteria becomes momentarily complicated.

The Olympic Committee will announce the new criteria for all industries in the coming days, but on paper it seems that those who have not yet secured their place in Tokyo should pray for a visible miracle or alternatively for a significant discount from the local committee to eventually find themselves on the plane to Tokyo, if and when. We have tried to make order, at least temporarily, in the precarious situation in some of the prominent industries for Israelis.

Athletics: Our marathonists have already made the criterion, but jumps Hannah Kneyseba Minenko is still trying to find a way to jump into her latest Olympics. She is in good company, alongside the entire US delegation, which is scheduled to compete only in June to determine who will participate in the Olympic Games, but is currently beginning to think of a different method and may also adopt criteria from Europe.

Boxing: The Israeli boxers were supposed to try to meet the criterion in this week's London competition, but the tournament stopped in the middle, which became one of the embarrassing events ahead of Tokyo 2020. Now waiting to see how the last chance event in Paris in June is actually held.

Baseball: Four teams out of six have already secured their participation in the Olympic Games, including Israel. who does not? The US, which is scheduled to play in June after its April game postponed, can be repeated: Israel, which has two and a half baseball fields to play at the Tokyo Olympics, the Americans are not sure yet.

Judo: The Israeli picture is almost complete, but there are still Judaism looking for a criterion for Tokyo. Before the crisis, the end of March was supposed to be the last date, but all competitions were postponed, and the Judo Association would have to decide that competitions would no longer be for the women who had not yet secured their participation.

Rowing: Danny Friedman the striker traveled to Italy to train and compete with slim chances to qualify for the Olympic Games. He gets stuck in the boot country, continues to train, and will likely not participate in the Tokyo Olympic Games.

Sailing: While surfing the picture for the Olympic Games is complete, the Sailing World Championship has been canceled as published in "Israel Today" a week before it began. Israel has obtained the ticket for women and will have to decide which of the two couples will travel. For the men, an Olympic criterion has not yet been reached and representatives have not been sent.

Swimming: Some swimmers have secured the spot in Tokyo, but others, some of them senior, led by Jacob Tomarkin, who did not set the Israeli criterion, hoped to achieve the criterion in the coming months.

Formal Swimming: The Israeli national team was among the last to enter last week's interrupted competitions. The athletes are currently in isolation and the next competition is in April 2021. The Swimming Association has not yet published when the Israeli and other Europeans will be able to complete the criterion.

Handball: While Israel is not part of the tournament, only to understand the chaos of the Olympic qualifiers - even a European men's and women's team, did not guarantee its place due to the fact that the early tournament was postponed for June (a month before the Games opened). It is doubtful whether the Olympic tournament will be held without Europeans at all.

Football. After announcing that he would be leaving the New England Patriots in his ranks since 2000, Tom Brady seems to have found a new home. Tampa Bay is reportedly in talks with legendary 42-year-old quarterback, who is estimated to earn about $ 30 million a season, but it's still unclear when he will officially sign. Tampa is set to host the Super Bowl next season, If Brady is indeed intentional.
