There is a team composition list at the site:http://schach.wienerzeitung.at/tnr3410.aspx?art=0&lan=1&flag=30.
The list is described as "preliminary. Out of the top 30 players in the world
only Topalov, Leko, Ponomariov, Polgar, Mamedyarov, Malakhov, Jakovenko are
missing the latter two simply failing to make a very strong Russian team. The
biggest misses are of course FIDE Champion Veselin Topalov, Peter Leko, Ruslan
Ponomariov and Judit Polgar. However this event sees the return to active play
of Vladimir Kramnik after a break since December 2005 for treatment for his
health problems. His form will be a major matter of interest. His Russian team
are clear favourites to take the event. Viswanathan Anand plays his second
Olympiad in a row for India after many years of not competing. He leads a very
strong Indian side that are second seeds. Third sees are the ever solid and
experienced Armenian side. In 4th are Ukraine who are missing Ruslan Ponomariov
but still command a full squad in the top 100 in the world. A huge number of
stars compete including 68 of the top 100. Victor Korchnoi again returns as top
board of Switzerland so we may see some interesting pairings for him.
