We have to wake up until 4 AM to see all medal events and there are no football or baseball(actually not held after this olympic) team in Paris, which is the most popular team sports here in Korea, so the interest is lower than before.
พาณิภัค วงศ์พัฒนกิจ (Panipak Wongpattanakit): female under 49kg
ศศิกานต์ ทองจันทร์ (Sasikarn Thongchan): female under 67kg
บัลลังก์ ทับทิมแดง (Balkrishna Thubtimdang): male under 68kg
Table Tennis (3 athletes)
สุธาสินี เสวตรบุตร (Suthasini Sawettabut), จิณห์นิภา เสวตรบุตร (Jinnipa Sawettabut), อรวรรณ พาระนัง (Orawan Paranang): female team (two will also compete in singles)
I found these website for Hong Kong China, and second one was translated below, thanks to ChatGPT. (and added the number of players for each discipline)
If it is right, 34 total. (16 M 18 F). Below it with 35 athletes means one additional substitute for table tennis women team.
黄镇廷: male singles, mixed doubles
杜凯琹: female singles, mixed doubles, female team
朱成竹: female singles, female team
李皓晴: female team
吴咏琳: female team (substitute)
No swimming except for diving (2024 world championship was their first showcase even for diving since 2017, and only few players were in 2022 asian games either. I don't saw anywhere PRK team achieved OQT or even OCT).
For PRK(North Korea), they won't reveal their team size until before opening, maybe....
In June 18, (South) Korean newspaper said that they secured 14 quotas, and I didn't found additional quota since then.
Artistic gymnastics : Chang-Ok Ahn (안창옥, Women indv.)
Athletics : Il-Ryong Han (한일룡, Men's marathon)
Boxing : Un-Kyong Won (원은경), Chol-Mi Pang (방철미) (Both women)
Diving : Mi-rae Kim (김미래) Jin-Mi Jo (조진미) (Both women, and Mi-rae Kim in both single and duet 10M platform, while Jo in only duet)
Wrestling : Se-Ung Ri (리세웅) for men's freestyle, and Son-Hyang Kim(김선향), Hyo-Gyong Choe(최효경), Hyon-Gyong Mun(문현경), and Sol-Gum Pak(박솔금) for women's wrestling
Table tennis : Kum-Yong Kim (김금용) and Ri-Jong Sik (리종식) for Mixed doubles, and Song-Gyong Pyon (편송경) for women's singles.
So it is 3 men, and 11 women for 14 total.
And as they do not participate : Archery, Badminton, Breaking, Canoeing, Cycling, Equestrian, Fencing, Golf, Pentathlon, Rowing, Sailing, Shooting, skateboarding, climbing surfing, swimming, taekwondo, tennis, triathlon, beach volleyball in international games for few years, do not qualified for ballgames (like soccer, basketball, volleyball, handball, etc) and banned for weightlifting, where they have world-best players (of course little bit suspicious for juiced). It seems like they do not have additional available quotas.
China for diving, table tennis and women's weightlifting (except Reeves and Dajomes, where no Chinese)
Korea's women archery team are threatened by Chinese team for their 10 time Gold medal streak in Women's team, but I think men's team have good enough chance for win gold.
Men's team won both 2021, 2023 world championship and they won every world cup gold medal during 2022-2023 season without the 1st one each, where they did not appeared. There only loss since tokyo was 1st olympic of this season, where India got gold and Korea got silver. (And Korea got gold in 2nd, 3rd world cup).
Austrailia, Italy, Japan, Germany, Netherlands would be Next teams
If it's a matter of "who will receive most gold medal", any team can get a chance, as there are numerous teams who could get 5~10 Golds.
For "Who will receive most G+S+B", Korea is reasonable. There are so many chances for Korea getting 10+ Bronze this year
Expected total medal is 24~27 in Korea. But 6~8 in gold.
---
Archery 3 gold, 4-5 total : Sure for Men's team, but One could be missed in other three which we got gold in tokyo ( Women ind, Women's team and Mix double) .
Badminton 1 gold, 3 total : Se-Young Ahn (WR 1st) and Woman doubles' (WR 2nd) are gold medal candidate, who would fight with Chinese team in final maybe. Seo(both in Men's double, Mixed double for #3~#5 candidate) could also add 1 medal in either one chance.
Fencing 1 gold, 3 total : Men's Sabre vs US, and Women's Epee vs Italy. One gold could come here. + 1 medal for Oh in Men's sabre or Women's sabre team (both WR4), I hope.
Judo 1 gold, 3 total : We have WR 1 in 100+kg , Min-Jong Kim, but Riner and other players are also strong. Also, we could fight for gold in Women's 57kg, Huh vs Deguchi (CAN). Men's 81kg (Lee) is also a medal contender.
Shooting 0-1 gold, 2-3 total : Cannot expect much, but we got lots of medal in 2024 series, and women players are good in this year.
Taekwondo 0-1 gold, 2-3 total : we send 3 players in Rank 3-5 for Men's 58, Men's 80 and Women's 67+. As top 4 could get medal, I think at least bronze could be earned by all of them, at least 2.
Pentathlon 0-1 gold, 1 total : Jun in men, Sung in women (2024 championship bronze, gold) could be in top 3. Do not sure for additional gold here, as Choong, and Italy player in women pentathlon is strong.
Swimming 1 total : In free 200 and 400, Sun-Woo Hwang and Woo-Min Kim are having good record (could fight for bronze, and hopefully silver for Hwang).
Table tennis 1 total : Maybe can get bronze in Mix double after China, and Japan. There is also a chance for Women's team who is ranked #3 in ITTF team ranking. Also very slight chance for men's team.
Other candidate 3 total : Men's High jump (Woo) , Weightlifting Women (Park Hye-jeong), Golf Women (3 player in Ranking top 15), etc.
There are someone only with slight chance, such as sports climbing (qualifier 1st, 2nd for combine men, women) / breaking (qualifier 2nd) / artistic gymastics (Women vault Yeo in Tokyo #3, championship 2023 #3. ) , Swimming freestyle 200x4, Weightlifting Men 102kg Jang, Men's artistic gymnastics, and others.
So, sum of them could be 6-8 gold , and total avg.25 medals expected
Little bit suspicious but could be top 10 in total medal tally. Maybe 11~12 th in gold medal
