How many medals do you expect from your Nation at the 2020 Olympics? (Final Version)


 Share

Recommended Posts

At least 41 medals isn't as much as Gracenote gave :NED. But there's still some really questionable ones like Sifan Hassan in all three middle/long distances and Maya Kingma winning the triathlon! Did the Brittish girls not compete in this year's world cups or something? I'm pretty sure a podium without Great Brittain is not going to happen in women's triathlon.

 

I guess we were just too good in 2019-2021 competitions for these data driven predictions!

They predicted bronze in BMX freestyle for :CRO Marin Rantes… who didn’t qualify.

Just proves my case on the ridiculousness of the qualification system... :whistle:

Cycling def has one of the worst qualification system of any sports. Unfortunately weightlifting, boxing and 3x3 stole their crown for the worst qualification system this year.

their wrestling picks are kind of funny in some weights, even a kid with computer can find out who is the best male wrestler in the world at the moment, (Abdulrashid Sadulaev, 97kg freestyle) yet they predicted him to lose to "Captain America" (Kyle Snyder) in the final. :d

 

at least Captain America beating the Russian tank, sounds good for the next Marvel movie. but in reality the Russian tank will eat the Cap alive.

    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
    • The worst editions in XXI century for us were Vancouver: 5 medals (only 1 gold for Razzoli's on the penultimate day) and Sochi: 8 medals (but no gold). Turin was already a prelude to this bad period, although the number of gold medals was ok. Overall we won fewer medals at home than in 2002 and this was probably the only case in the 21st century when the host country won fewer medals at home than 4 years earlier, either in summer or winter. In general the years 2008-2016 were very bad in our sport, both in summer and winter. Only 2018 in Korea was a slight rebuild + 2 fantastic summer editions in Tokyo and Paris. in Beijing 2022 we won a lot of medals - 17 but only 2 gold (If it weren't for Gogga's injury, I think it would have been 4 gold).
    • Totallympics had  users at one point, but I haven't seen any hanging around in a while.
    • In terms of total medals, yes. In terms of golds, I’d be fine with anywhere from 6-8.   @intoronto you don’t think we’ll do better or at least the same? Bit surprising.
    • Tadeucci was very good and took bronze
    • On the Olympics I don't like to count golds to analyse the performance, I think the best data are the top8 and medals. In both fields I expect a big improvement (obviously not on the 'pure' number, but on the percentage of medal or top8 events)
    • December is probably going to be focused on either Italy/Austria or Norway, but the plans are still being made as we speak. Renting a car, driving from the Netherlands down to Italy, finding accomodations and help with preparing the skis and all that...trying to make it as an independent 'solo' athlete is...hard     I can't go and help out, because we got the keys to our house (finally) and there's lots of work to be done there, so it's all happening at the same time and the mind is getting crazy (for both of us)
