Quite funny that even the swimming/judo events where Germany is best only come at the end of the week (Wellbrock in the 1500 free, Wagner in judo). Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing surprising, Games start from now for Germany and the climb to top 6 by end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianlu33 3,578 Posted July 27, 2021 #44 Share Posted July 27, 2021 This is quite depressing. I think that it's the 5th fourth place for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that it will change a bit in 2024, where Germany will hopfully do better in men's/women's 400 free (thanks to Märtens/Gose). 3 years is a long time, so who knows what the situation will look like then (sadly i have no hope for german fencing).

Vektor 3,195 Posted July 27, 2021 #48 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I have a bit of a "break" while the dressage is happening in the background, so I wanted to compare our current situation to what we had at the previous Games since 2004 after Day 4 (we don't have any medal chances left for today). 2004: 1-1-1 (1-1-0 in fencing, 0-0-1 in swimming) 2008: 0-1-0 (0-1-0 in swimming) 2012: 1-1-1 (1-0-0 in fencing, 0-1-1 in judo) 2016: 4-1-1 (3-0-1 in swimming, 1-1-0 in fencing) 2020: 1-1-0 (1-1-0 in fencing) So yeah, not much worse than Athens and London so far, Rio was more of an anomaly, we started really strong thanks to Hosszú (after Hosszú's events it was a mostly disappointing SOG for us with the exception of women's kayak). Now if only we could repeat what we did in Athens and London in later days, apart from the three medals lost due to doping in 2004, ofc. We got Milák, just like Gyurta in 2012, but we don't have other big favorites like Berki in men's pommel horse and Pars in men's hammer throw.

You already got the lowest gold/total medal ratio to be "proud of". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
