32 athletes is very few. Didn't we have 50 last time?

No team sports this time probably! Last time we had the volleyball and basketball teams.

Also is it just me or is excitement for the Olympics and Euro Cup the lowest its ever been?
No one cares anymore.
FIFA and UEFA and IOC got what they want. More money at expense of excitement and fan enjoyment and general watchability.
They're going to do the same to club football.

It seems we still have a small chance to send our volleyball team.

Euro cup I dont care since years, will not watch any games like last time. Olympics excitement isnt there because we can't send athletes in new sports, specially the best ones

We have less athletes because we didn't send any collective sport team (last time we had basketball and volleyball => 24 athletes).
