Summer Olympic Games 2020 Medal Count

[Grassmarket 4,047]

Bermuda not able to build on their promising early start, I see.

[Quasit 869]

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.

Canada needs one more gold medal to guarantee its best ever Olympics (non-boycotted).

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 3,028]

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.

Remember the American media itself only cares about total medals.

There’s been one British doomsayer who’s gone very quiet the last couple of days despite talking non stop all week about how this would be a disaster for GB

I am a natural pessimist - it gets me through life.

 have 2 boxing finals

Modern Pentathlon

2 good cycling prospects

 

Other chances would be for minor medals.

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.

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)
