Quasit 849 Posted August 6, 2021 #222 Share Posted August 6, 2021 After Day 14 Rio: 264/306 events, 83 NOCs with medals After Day 14 Tokyo: 292/339 events, 89 NOCs with medals Finally, Lithuania is on board as well. Let's make it a round number and find one more nation for the most diverse medal table in the history of the Olympics! China are going into the busiest day tomorrow with a 5 gold lead over the US. The Americans have a lot of changes left catching the Chinese. Japan with a solid third place. Russia with many solid chances left finishing 4th, with GB possibly making it interesting until the end. 7th to 15th place in the final ranking is very busy too with chances for all of them on gaining or losing places. Italy, despite a bumpy start, have no won more medals than on their home games in 1960 (36 total in Rome). Canada tying Atlanta and Rio with chances left to win the most medals at a summer games (excluding the boycotted 1984 games in Los Angeles). Poland improving on recent games too with most medals since 2000 (14 total in Sydney). If the Ukraine can't find another Olympic champion the next two days, they have been on a gradual decline in golds ever since 2004 in Athens. 4th place counter* (30) (18) (16) (15) (14) (13) (12) (11) (10) (9) (8) (7) (6) (5) (4) (3) (2) and the Refugee Olympic Team (1) *5th places in events that award two bronze medals; also includes QF losers in boxing and athletes in karate kumite one shy from the SF after the pool stage Stopped watching sports, there are better things in life.

intoronto 4,508 Posted August 6, 2021 #223 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Canada needs one more gold medal to guarantee its best ever Olympics (non-boycotted). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll be hard, our best chance would be in canoeing (women's C2 500m) and cycling (women's individual sprint) and both of those are quite low.

Federer91 2,212 Posted August 6, 2021 #225 Share Posted August 6, 2021 My 2 cent analyses: Currently -> China 36 - 31 US Favorites - China -> 1x Diving, 1x Canoeing W C2 / US -> 2x Basketball, 2x 4x400 Relays, 1x W water polo = China 38 - 36 US Toss Up - 2x Boxing for both (they've got 2 finals and probably win only 1) / US -> 1x Golf, 1x Volleyball = China 39 - 39 US Underdogs - China -> 1x wrestling / US -> 1x baseball, 1x wrestling *Karate and Modern Pentathlon are too unpredictable for me. The best that China could rely on is: - Brazil winning the volleyball gold - US losing both boxing finals (with China winning 1) - China upsetting Japan in wrestling (if Snyder also wins against Sadulaev) My prognosis at this point are US 55% - 45% China As for the GB - Russia battle for fourth, i think there is no battle Russia have 2x Rhythmic, 1x Artistic Gymnastics, 2x Volleyball finals, 1x Handball + Sadulaev + Lasitskene. Heck, if Japan had 2 Golds few, i would say Russia can make an epic final climb for third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think we have a strong chance in all 4 remaining Cycling events with an in form Katie Marchand. If we can steal the Pentathlon from then we might steal it cuz I can't see them winning half their remaining finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuizGuilherme 206 Posted August 6, 2021 #230 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Brazil has 4 more guaranteed medals (at least silver) and 2 more possibles (bronze match at voleyball and Isaquias at canoeing c1 1000) I believe in 3 more golds, and we gonna have our best games ever, even with bad results in beach volleyball (in Gold and number of medals) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
