- Nina Christen not performing, but two other shooters stepping in her shoes to defend her medals from Tokyo. Especially Chiara Leone who only qualified at the last moment by winning the European Championships after forgetting her shooting equipment at home and her parents had to drive 14 hours to Croatia to deliver it to her.
- Julie Derron getting a perfect day to continue our amazing performances in the triathlon.
- The Men's gymnastics team reaching the finals again and even individually performing really well.
Heartbreaks:
- Zero medals in Mountain Bike only for the second olympics since it's introduction.
- All the fourth places. We had 9 (10 if you count losing the Judo bronze match), which is more than we got medals total. Especially the three fourth places in athletics hurt, since it's been so long since we've won a medal in athletics.
- The Equestrian jumping team missing out on the finals, while being named as one of the favourites. At least Steve Guerdat redeemed himself in the individual event.
- Hüberli/Brunner missing out on the Beachvolleyball finals after haven a match ball.
- Morgane Métraux absolutely failing in the last day of golf, after being in first place at the end of days 2 and 3.
3. Our olympic committee set a goal of 7 medals, which was achieved. I just wished it would have been one or two more golds instead of all the bronze.
4. Not sure. Possibly shooting and maybe Modern Pentathlon, since we finally had two competitors again, after many olympics without one.
5. I'm not knowledgable enough to answer this

For me, a 6 team tournament for Cricket is not ideal but a good start. Anyways, US don't have an exclusive stadium for cricket and 2024 T20 World Cup was a poor viewing experience because of poor pitches. I don't want automatic quota for the host nation but wish for one qualification spot for the Americas to ensure atleast one island from the West Indies as cricket there has been on a steep decline. Just yesterday, West Indies Women team lost to Scotland in the World Cup qualifier.
I expect Cricket to grow in 2032 in terms of teams, ticket sales if also held in nearby venues like Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide, broadcast revenues. Australia themselves will be serious as they are genuine gold medal contenders especially in the women's game
