Also two golds in the 4x400 m relay. China should win gold in men's table tennis and men's 10 m diving? More interesting question for me is who will finish 7th to 10th. I think the Netherlands will finish ahead of Germany and if Italy continues fluking golds in athletics, they might also finish ahead of Germany (in terms of total medals they definitely could). France is a bit disappointing for me, i thought that they would be better just 3 years away from their home olympics.

France will end with less medals this games than Rio which is not the usual trajectory for the next host. Styrka and Makedonas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it looks like to me that they have more gold medal chances coming up in the last few days than and the 5 gold difference isn't that large. By my "gold medal chance" counter I have the United States winning by 1, but China has a 5 gold lead plus some safer gold medal chances. It'll come down to who can get the most "maybe golds" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,182 Posted August 5, 2021 #166 Share Posted August 5, 2021 USA also has beach volleyball as a pretty good chance. Baseball is a possibility too for sure. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshMartini007 2,222 Posted August 5, 2021 #168 Share Posted August 5, 2021 vs Gold Medal Race Here's a quick overview of the gold medal chances the two nations have going into Day 14 (note I am being generous about their chances) China Athletics - Women's 20km Walk Athletics - Women's Javelin Throw Karate - Women's -61kg Table Tennis - Men's Team Wrestling - Women's Freestyle -53kg United States Athletics - Women's 400m Athletics - Women's 4x100m Relay Karate - Men's -75kg Volleyball - Women's Beach Volleyball Wrestling - Men's Freestyle -125kg Interestingly, an even match for Day 14. China has the most secured gold medal (table tennis), but the United States may end the day just edging out China. Of course there are future gold medal chances at risk going into Day 14, here are the events where the gold medal chance may be extinguished due to an early loss. China Boxing - Women's Middleweight Canoeing - Women's C2 500m Cycling - Women's Individual Sprint Diving - Men's 10m Platform Wrestling - Women's Freestyle -50kg United States Basketball - Women's Tournament Boxing - Men's Lightweight Volleyball - Women's Indoor Tournament Wrestling - Men's Freestyle -97kg Wrestling - Women's Freestyle -50kg I suspect there will be some gold medal chances loss between the two nations. Obviously each loss for the United States will make things harder, at the very worst they must match their losses with China.

I will be waiting for the "conclusion" made by every federation after these Games. I just looked at your medals and was shocked to see that you won 8 medals in judo, 3 in sailing and 5 in fencing, so not much potential to improve there. Even 40 medals sounds like a rather optimistic prediction at this point. I wonder if your strength in team sports hurts your individual medal chances, in GB it is the other way round (being almost nonexistant in team sports).

Yes, 4x400 m is good option but USA underperformed in many sports, wouldnt be surprised to see them winning some other medal. Netherlands should win few more medals in track cycling, should they? I feel sorry for many German athletes, Unruh, handball team, judokas, shooters, beach volleyball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
