Eight athletes from the state have been named in Olympic teams with another as reserve and one more heading for the Paralympics.
In Adelaide on Sunday, Huon's Sarah Hawe was among the 38-strong rowing team to be announced with Tamar's Ciona Wilson named as a reserve.
The following day, Eddie Ockenden's fourth Olympics was confirmed when he was among 32 hockey players named in Perth.
And on Thursday, Launceston's Ariarne Titmus was in the swimming team of 35 announced in Adelaide.
They join Perth track cyclist Georgia Baker, Launceston triathlete Jake Birtwhistle, Launceston road cyclist Richie Porte, Grove canoeist Daniel Watkins, and King Island runner Stewart McSweyn on the Olympic team while Forth runner Deon Kenzie has secured selection to the Paralympics.
Final athletics, soccer and basketball teams remain to be confirmed with a handful of Tasmanians still in the mix.
Hobart sprinter Jack Hale and javelin thrower Hamish Peacock plus Launceston shot putter Todd Hodgetts are seeking selection while Launceston-born duo Nathaniel Atkinson and Chris Goulding have been in finals action having helped their teams finish top of the A-League and NBL ladders respectively.
Cycling
Launceston's Richie Porte has been confirmed for his 11th Tour de France ahead of what will be his second Olympics.
The 36-year-old, who finished third in last year's Tour, is on the INEOS Grenadiers team which also includes Richard Carapaz, Jonathan Castroviejo, Tao Geoghegan Hart, Michal Kwiatkowski, Luke Rowe, Dylan van Baarle and 2018 winner Geraint Thomas.
"Expect the unexpected," is the message from principal Sir Dave Brailsford about what tactics the team may adopt when the race begins on Saturday in the north-west port of Brest.
The team has won seven of the last 10 editions of the race but Brailsford added: "We won't win this Tour by sitting in the wheels.
"We have the team to make it a racers' race, take the initiative, seize every opportunity and make our opposition focus for every kilometre of every stage.
"We have changed our race philosophy this season to being more open and aggressive. Our performances have built all season and a joy of racing has infused the whole team.
"Key for us this Tour is our collective strength and camaraderie to the end."
Basketball
Launceston-born basketballer Chris Goulding has survived the latest cut to the Boomers Olympic squad as he steers Melbourne United towards an NBL championship.
The 32-year-old scored a game-high 23 points as United won the opening game 73-70 in the best-of-five finals series against Perth Wildcats.
The series follows Basketball Australia announcing a reduced Boomers squad for the final Olympic selection camp and matches beginning in the US late this month.
Goulding, who helped Australia finish fourth at the Rio Olympics and win Commonwealth Games gold in 2018, kept his place in a 19-man squad headlined by NBA stars Aron Baynes, Matthew Dellavedova, Joe Ingles and Patty Mills.
The final team of 12, to be named in early July, will take part in exhibition matches against the US, Nigeria and Argentina in Las Vegas, as a final hit-out before departing for Tokyo.
Three-time Olympic head coach Brian Goorjian said: "Having so many talented players is fantastic but it will certainly make for a challenging selection process."
Soccer
Nathaniel Atkinson has secured a second straight A-League grand final appearance as he looks to seal his spot at the Olympics.
The Riverside Olympic product returned to the starting line-up for Melbourne City's semi-final against Macarthur FC on Sunday.
He came close to scoring in a goalless first half before two goals in as many minutes from Stef Colakovski and Marco Tilio ensured a 2-0 win and progress to next week's grand final against reigning champion Sydney.
Finalising his 18-man squad for the Games, Olyroos coach Graham Arnold said the goodwill of overseas clubs will play a major part.
Olympic squads can contain up to three "over-age" players born before January 1, 1997.
"I'm spending a lot of time on the phones with the sports directors of clubs overseas and talking about the great opportunity it will give the kids of that age group for their careers ahead of them," Arnold told AAP.
The Olyroos will play Argentina, Spain and Egypt in their group in Tokyo.
Swimming
Launceston-born Ariarne Titmus has capped her record-breaking week by thanking all those who helped her achieve Olympic selection.
The Queensland-based 20-year-old, who broke records in qualifying for the 200m, 400m and 800m freestyle events in Adelaide, took to social media to express her feelings.
"I'm so over the moon with the week that I just had," Titmus said on Instagram.
"I just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who has not only supported me this week but throughout my entire swimming career.
"I could not have done this without the tremendous support from my family, Dean (Boxall) my coach and those closest to me. I have received so many messages and I will try my best to get back to you all over the next few days."
Paddling
A strong third place in Friday's heats qualified Tasmanian Daniel Watkins for Sunday's C1 semi-final of the ICF Canoe Slalom World Cup in Markkleeberg, Germany.
"It was a very good run," said the Grove 25-year-old, who will make his Olympic debut in Tokyo.
"I started off a little shaky and took a touch at the top and lost a bit of time in the first upright, but after that the run really came together. It was nothing like amazing, the boat ran really well which was my plan to just take safe lines and keep the boat moving and it worked really well.
"I think the pace is pretty good and I got a lot left on that run I reckon, so feeling good for Sunday."
Australia's canoe slalom paddlers are contesting their first world cup season since mid-2019 with Watkins fresh from a 20th place in the men's C1 in Prague.
