Russia,  Japan, France would definitely do, as long as we don't have fencing then Iran can do so as well,  Italy and Germany is a high contender also 

There is something like rate limiting step weak point here

 

Russia - Just 1 Karate athlete not too bad, too good needs to have the best day of her life to medal

 

Japan - Need huge luck in Taekwondo 

 

France - I'm not so sure about Koumba Larroque in wrestling, won't rule her out though 

 

Iran - no Judokas . Had they been there focus would shift to boxing where again I'm not sure they could win but at least 4/5 sports medal was easy and some luck could have given 5th(boxing)

Russia has only one athlete in karate, doesn't seem too safe (btw karate is 3 or 4 medals?). 

 

Why not Azerbaijan as well? Or am I missing something? They have Beigi in TKD and a legion in all others.

 

 

Karate gives 4 medals (2 Bronze to the semifinals' losers)...

 

Russia here is like ITA and FRA...we and our neighbours only have 1 shot in wrestling, but it's a very strong one (I see TKD more at risk for both of them)...Chernysheva has very good chances of a medal in Karate (where actually anything is possible, especially in Kumite)...

Turkey have definitely more chances of anybody else...

I think that Italian biggest problem is boxe... We have only Irma Testa with podium chances.

Testa is a lock, if they don't allow her to win the Gold medal is a scandal...she's by far the best boxer in her weight class (and she did show that also at the OQT in Paris)...

 

by the way, also Carini, with a favourable draw, can get a medal...she's still the reigning world silver medallist...

 

p.s. and Nicoli and Sorrentino are not that bad, too...it's only a question of fair judging, but they could all 4 win a medal...I'm sure at least 1 will come home from boxing...

 

my biggest doubt is about taekwondo (I'm not sure Dell'Aquila is the same guy who won the world GP in 2019 anymore...his last outing was really scary and depressing)

The most probable answer is

 


 

Spoiler

 

Azerbaijan 

 

World Championship Medallist in All 5 sports. 

 

Judo - Sure lots of judokas present

 

Wrestling - 2-5 medals Mariya Stadnik is a safe bet for medal. 

 

Boxing - Men's -69kg, -81kg, +91kg

 

Karate - Rafael Aghaev Men's -75kg

 

Taekwondo - Men's -80kg

    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
    • Ukraine twice in one day defeated Italy and France, like what the heck?
