1 - Artistic Swimming - Russia (Team)

2 - Table Tennis - China (men's team)

3 - Diving - Men's 10m Platform - Cao Yuan and Chen Aisen

4 - Water Polo - United States Women

5 - Weightlifting  - Men's +109kg -  Lasha Talakhadze

 

Not necessarily the safest gold medallists.

 

Also China in weightlifting, especially women seem safe. Last mention, USA women's all-around team in artistic gymnastics.

Individual events only and max. 1 per sport, otherwise it would be too repetitive:

 

1- Swimming, men's 100m breaststroke, Adam Peaty

2- Artistic gymnastics, women's all around, Simone Biles

3- Weightlifting, men's +109kg, Lasha Talakhadze

4- Karate, men's kata, Ryo Kiyuna

5- Athletics, Women's triple jump, Yulimar Rojas

Making it better doesn't mean that they can take the gold medal in a sport with judges.

    • Honestly, I think you guys have a much better chance of success here than we do. It's already difficult to maintain this sport, and with this ridiculous format this year, things have gotten even worse. Years and years participating in the elite and we haven't been able to evolve; it was just a waste.

    • Another weak result for our athletics team, which is typical; without Caio or Alisson, our chances of a medal in any high-level tournament are almost zero.   However, Juliana's result in the women's pole vault was a great 7th place. She is improving rapidly and still has a lot of room for growth.

    • Medalists Gold-  Team Schwaller (Xenia Schwaller, Selina Gafner, Fabienne Rieder, Selina Rychiger) Silver-  Team Einarson (Kerri Einarson, Val Sweeting, Shannon Birchard, Karlee Burgess, Krysten Karwacki) Bronze-  Team Wråna (Isabella Wråna, Almida de Val, Maria Larsson, Linda Stenlund, Moa Dryburgh)
    • some changes in the team and less importance to the sport, the two big teams until 2022/2023 ( and ) in south america started to decrease a lot and in the other hand the 3rd in South America () is growing a lot, is really impressive. We are currently the favourites for the LA2028 quota
    • Last few weeks of the World Cup season for winter sports (and Junior Worlds, depending on streaming), Men's Curling Worlds, Saquarema Elite 16, and some tennis   That's it unless I'm missing something, not much going on    Which is a good thing honestly, very busy next couple of weeks.
    • What happened to Brazil's women's team? On the other hand it looks like Argentina may be the top South American team on the women's side. Defeating Spain, China and South Africa was unlikely up until this year
    • These are the teams I think will qualify for the WC this window:           Hoping for some debutants to qualify!
    • defeats  7-5 for gold, Schwaller goes from junior world champions to world champions only two years later   win bronze 8-5 over
