People here a bit tough on Australia(again!)

Looking at their team I'd say that the only soft qualifications they have are in boxing -Australia  has remarkably little interest in all the combative sports -and they give out a huge number of medals especially to Japan in judo .Sth Korea in twaekwondo ,Italy in fencing etc etc - 

and synchronised swimming - the one aquatic discipline which is considered a joke by most (sorry ladies )

New Zealand is the country with the soft entry in association football.They would be favourites to come last (again) in both tournaments

Off the top of my head Australia wouldn’t qualify in Archery, Breaking, Badminton, Modern Pentathlon, Artistic Swimming, Weightlifting. 

 

Boxing they would probably qualify, Parker and Garside are good boxers.

Judo, number of JPN gold medals in London 2012: 1, in Rio 2016: 3 (only exception, Tokyo 2020 as they hosted the Games and you know...Home Soil is always Home Soil)

 

Fencing, number of ITA gold medals in Rio 2016: 1, in Tokyo 2020: 0

 

Taekwondo, number of KOR gold medals in Rio 2016: 2, in Tokyo 2020: 0

 

once again, you're wrong and heavily biased...and a lot more than those people you think are biased :pope:

weightlifting, actually they have a woman who's a medal contender (Chikamatana) ;)

modern pentathlon, right now they're a bit off, but they still have some tradition (Esposito taking women's gold in London Rio)

Archery, they also have some tradition...better not underestimate them...but yeah, this time I don't think they're good enough to qualify without the help of the Continental qualifiers

We know approximately how many Japanese swimmers will qualify for Paris? with these restrictions so severe the figure will not be high

    • Those are the national junior championships, national championships are in Steinkjer, starting tomorrow: FIS | Steinkjer (NOR) - Event Details - Cross-Country
    • Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
    • If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?
    • I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups. 
    • If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great
    • Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
