Does anybody have the list with confirmed players per country for Olympics besides China? I mean top countries.

https://worldtabletennis.com/description?artId=444

Try this. This is the teams event line-up, top 16 teams for men's and ladies events. For now most relevant list. The better teams you get idea who will be the 2/3 representing in the singles and for Mixed Doubles usually searching the best pair playing together.

In the Japanese segment of Twitter and Facebook, I see a very strong desire of the majority of Japanese people - to cancel the Olympics.

Regardless of all that's happening still seems that the games are going ahead. What's the opinions of people living in Japan? Happening or not?

Mandatory immunization against SARS-CoV-2 of athletes, companions and supporters for the Tokyo Olympics
...
In conclusion, the government of Japan must take full responsibility for the Olympic Games in Tokyo under the IHR convention. We believe that the choice is between full immunisation of participants or the Games should not be held at all.

https://www.thestandard.com.hk/section-news/section/11/230921/Jab-all-Olympians,-Japan-urged
Two local experts have joined 16 overseas counterparts in urging Japan to make it mandatory for all athletes and others in the Olympic Games to be vaccinated.

"With seven weeks before the opening ceremony, it becomes important that Japan introduces as a mandatory prerequisite one condition under which the Games could go forward - that is full immunization of all athletes, companions, support staff, press and other visitors," they wrote in a paper published online in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases.

The 18 signatories, who include respiratory medicine professor David Hui Shu-cheong of the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Lee Shui-shan, a professor in infectious diseases also at HKUC, said they believed the choice is between full immunization of participants or the Olympics not being held.
