- Day 1
- Day 1 men's 400m Freestyle
- Day 1
- Many
Women's 4x200m Freestyle
Women's 200m Freestyle - lock for Australia but could go to Titmus or O'Callaghan
Women's 1500m Freestyle - Katie Ledecky
Women's 400m Medley - Summer McIntosh
Men's 400m Medley - Leon Marchand
Women's 50m Freestyle - Sarah Sjostrom
Men's 200m Freestyle - David Popovici
Women's 400m Hurdles - Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone
ExpandOr one of men's butterfly events... One can dream, too good to be true
Wasick has a good chance to medal just not gold. Chance improves even more if Douglass doesn't do the 50 free.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Clareburt get down to 4:06 and challenge for silver given he was 4:08 at an in season meet.
ExpandIt is blatantly obvious indeed (200 back/fly could also help Curzan if she manages to qualify for both although that's less likely than Smith), but a schedule is based on.. like, whatever? It is also just luck of the draw in some sense.
Changing it afterwards for no apparent reason just seems strange though.
Curzan doesn't do 2 fly.
ExpandThey did break their own WR by over 1.5 seconds and beat 2nd place USA by over 4 seconds. Have current world record holder in 200m freestyle in Mollie O 'Callaghan and 3rd fastest swimmer ever in Ariarne Titmus (also owns fastest relay split ever)
It's true but I still feel uncomfortable calling this relay a lock given the history. One thing they have going for them is the relay doesn't clash with the 100 free anymore.
Expandjust to name a few...
Track Cycling,
men's Team Sprint and Harrie Lavreysen (Individual Sprint)
Karlos May Nasar (weightlifting, men's -89kg)
all the table tennis, weightlifting and diving competitions in which they compete
Marchand didn't even have the fastest time in the 200 IM last year.
ExpandIn swimming,
And if she doesn't swim the 800m freestyle (which seems very likely), then Ledecky should be a lock in that event too.
The 1500 is a lock for Ledecky regardless.
I like the back designs but not the front.
Personally I don't think Oceania should even exist as a separate region but I don't think Asia would accept us merging with them and no other solution makes sense. I don't think many Australians outside the rhythmic gymnastics and artistic swimming communities would even notice if Australia didn't have those teams at the Olympics.

ExpandWell, are the Boomers going to win an Olympic Gold Medal in Men's Basketball???
Or, are the Opals going to win an Olympic Gold Medal in Women's Basketball???
Is that relevant enough for you?
It's not relevant because Australia has already won medals in basketball and this thread is about sports where a country has never won any medals. Apparently reading comprehension is HARD.

ExpandAustralia will NOT win a medal in Men's & ESPECIALLY in Women's basketball.
Australia has already won multiple medals in basketball so what's this got to do with a thread titled "A good chance for a medal in Paris in a sport or an event that your NOC had no olympic medal before"?

Six months too long! I'm not getting any younger

With a week to go till the deadline for the world invitational,the rosters look beefy for the discus on both sides.24 entries for the men[19 accepted in so far] and 25 for the women[18 accepted so far] For the men so far there are three 70 meter throwers[i count Denny as that since it's just 4 centimeters off his pb]10 from mid 66 to low 69,three of 65 and over,four from almost 64 to almost 65.On the women's side the 18 accepted throwers all have a pb of over 60 meters.11 of them have pbs over 64 plus.of the ones still not there besides Valerie and Yaime who have been marketed so i can only assume they will join,such names as Sandra Elkasevic,Bin Feng,and jordine van klinken aren't signed up yet,jordine's probably the most likely of them to join in tough feng would be a cool surprise,i somehow don't see Sandra doing this,but it would be awesome if she did.Stahl and ceh aren't in yet on the men's side,ceh has been marketed while stahl hasn't been mentioned at all,[pretty sure stahl will not be there],Lukas[last name is too wild for me to even try] and lawrence okoye aren't there yet either but i'm betting both will be joining in. -

It's complete American domination in the women's discus rankings so far this year,they occupy the top 4 slots,and the WORST result of those four was achieved at Ramona .Third place currently belongs to Ciera Jackson who had a huge almost 4 METER pr at the west coast relays on friday-64.42[previous best was 60.77 from march of 2023,and she opened her season a week ago with at that time her second best result ever of 60.14]she also had a 63.66 throw to back this new pb up,and finally with her new personal best she took down the school record that stood for 36 YEARS[Btw Valerie Allman actually competed in Ramona on march 30th but conditions were apparently far from ideal and she fouled four times and her best was a 63.61,i don't doubt that in the event that she competes in the world intational,the conditions will be perfect,i wouldn't be so bold as to say she wouldl get the world record but for sure i think she could get a new personal best. -
So after finding this this morning I started to search for more news about the date and ticket prices all over the world web ! I found this then to just notice later that it was April fools so yeah, that was my day -

Hope we’ll get qualifying here, and then a combination of at the OQE. -
