May be as things get more clear within a month with all qualifiers we could expect Joshmaartini007 to predict a medal tally for the games No one knows or talks about the games here in America, expect me of course “Sport has the power to change the world.

We did qualified only two girls and both are specialists in canoe slalom, so there no chance to medal in this flatwater obstacle head to head BS they invented for the youth games. This is so random event that even a guy from a absolutely no canoeing history country can win gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaBUru38 205 Posted June 12, 2018 #14 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Uruguay got just 14 medals at the 2018 South American Youth Games. I'd happy even with no medals at the Youth Olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshMartini007 2,222 Posted June 12, 2018 #15 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I don't think I can do a proper prediction, youth athletes don't get a lot of exposure plus their performance are quite inconsistent. Maybe in some sports... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judo :.W 44kg 1b Shooting :2-4 medals. Issf senior and junior world cup champion sr world no. 5 and a senior world record holder Manu Bhaker and silver medallist in the rifle events Mehuli Ghosh should win gold and this gold could be the 1st gold of the games. Boxing : 1g for Nitu, world youth champion 51kg girls Field hockey : 1s men, 1b women Wrestling : 1g through world cadet champion65 kg and 1 silver. Weightlifting : 1g or 1s M 56 kg Total : 5g 3s 2b 10 medals I feel that you may be too optimistic in gold atheletics - as per wiki we do not have a hammer thrower but wiki is often wrong m but I think rana after the japanese nakamura should be a likely silver and chitravel in triple and suraj in 5000km walk both have some chance ......so 0-1-1 badminton - i would say lakshya for a medal - possibly silver or bronze as he is currently ranked 3rd, I do not feel vaishnavi will medal so 0-0-1 shooting - definately our best chance , with 4 shooters , all except Mane of world repute , but shooting is such an inexact sport so 1-0-1 in my opinion , possibly a mixed medal also is possible but it is such a crapshoot boxing - Jyoti again this definitely a gold prospect so 1-0-0 wrestling - Manasi and Simran should medal but going against the japanese or chinese in womens wrestling is tough so I will say 0-1-1 Hockey with aus and arg in the reckoning and arg on home ground we will get possibly 0-0-1 in my estimate, i hate that indian hockey does so badly in every multimedal event I am pessimistic weightlifting - jeremy should get a silver so 0-1-0 TT -i think manav has a chance so 0-0-1 all the rest including mixed shooting , judo , archery 0-0-1 total as per me ............. allowing for one bronze drop out 2-3-6 11 medals strength does not come from physical capacity but from an indomitable will. - Gandhi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intoronto 4,251 Posted September 28, 2018 #18 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Canada's best chance of swimming medal (who got the number one time in his event after being named to the team) has mysteriously been replaced with another swimmer. It's like they choose a random 8 and the criteria is you can't be good enough to medal. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinipereira 3,054 Posted September 28, 2018 #19 Share Posted September 28, 2018 5-8 medals I'm gonna say that medals in Athletics, Beach Volleyball and Swimming are very possible. Maybe we have a outside chance in Gymnastics with our male athlete and combat sports due to low number of entries in some categories (?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon 1,702 Posted September 28, 2018 #20 Share Posted September 28, 2018 The British team is very weak. GB won 20 medals in 2014 but this time will be lucky to get 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
