Poll 100/100 | The Endgame | At what position will your nation finish in the Tokyo Olympic medal tally?

@Fly_like_a_don Great job on the polls these past months! I didn't have time (or knowledge, in many cases) to answer all of them, but it was really cool to see all these different questions :d 

 

As for this one: top-10 is fairly realistic, 9th and even 8th are definitely possible. Anything higher would be rather surprising, anything significantly lower would be a little disappointing.

Going for 23rd after our first Games in ages with more than 2 golds.

 

Though I haven't participated in anywhere near every poll I have to agree. A very fine idea for the last 100 days and it has been a pleasure to participate!

With the 100th poll we come to the end of a very successful Countdown to Tokyo : The Polls. 

 

Thanks for all your views, opinions and predictions. 

 

Special mention to @phelps for sharing his views on almost every poll. It has been decided by the organizing committee to award@phelps with the Pierre de Coubertin Medal.

I have no words...thanks! :teacher: :red:

 

p.s. my answer to this last poll...:ITA might well end up between 11th and 13th place in the final medal table...

 

at least, I hope we won't go down more than that...:fingers:

    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
    • Ukraine twice in one day defeated Italy and France, like what the heck?
