Zero, very likely..but there a slim chance for Jessica Triebeľová in Boxing, the girl is 3 years undefeated in Europe, but you know..Boxing, so it depend on which nation you´ll be drawn, if she´ll be lucky and avoid one of the protected nations a semifinals bronze is possible :d

I honestly do not know. Most of Canada's sporting organizations do not care about the event and usually send b teams (sometimes A). I want to estimate anywhere from 6-10

10-13

-3 to 5 in team sports (hockey x2, boys rugby, boys futsal, girl beach handball)

-1 or 2 in swimming (girls 400/800 free)

-1 in athletics (boy pole vault)

-1 in judo (boys -81kg)

-1 in sailing (in nacra or windsurf)

-3 between: rowing, triathlon, pentathlon, equestrian, boxing, tennis (boy singles) and shooting (rifle).

I have absolutely no idea, I don't follow the international youth competitions of every sport closely, which already makes it impossible to really have a somewhat realistic idea :p 

 

.

8-10 being very optimistic, but I believe that in the end we'll get 4-6. Not sure about our judo and swimming team, but our gymnasts are not nearly as strong as they were in 2010 (Arthur Nory, who didn't get a medal at the YOG but earned a bronze medal at the 2016 Olympics) or 2014 (Flávia Saraiva, 1 gold medal and 2 silver medals).  

If I have to predict for India I don't think it's very difficult :

Athletics : Boys Hammer  1silver

Archery : 0-1

Badminton : After having the multiple world and Olympic champion Lin Dan troubled twice in two weeks Lakshya Sen can win gold,  junior world no 4 Vaishnvai can win a medal if not gold. 

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

 

It's a bit surprising that many countries like :USA:GBR:GER:BLR:AUS:CHN:IRI:JPN:RUS:UKR:FRA or even :CAN don't have a proper idea of their youth athletes. 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:thumbup::clap::champion::yes

    • Weightlifting formula is more or less similar to 2020 which was considered terrible by everybody!    this is a tough sport, you can't be in your best shape for too many events. there will be risks of serious injuries this way. with these rules you need 5 good results to qualify. if you bomb out in an event to score a zero you are out of the Olympics unless you replace it with another event. which means most of these poor guys have to participate in 7-8 events (and not just 5) to make up for possible bomb outs.    most importantly if you get injured anytime during this period (almost 2 years) you are out of the Olympics! that's how Sohrab Moradi missed the Tokyo Olympics despite breaking the WR during the qualification period. you can miss the Olympics in 2028 if you get injured late 2026 !  Karlos Nasar couldn't win the Olympic title if we had these rules in 2024   I understand 2024 qualification formula wasn't great either, it had its own flaws but this one is much worse for threatening athletes' health. 
    • Marian Kasprzyk (boxing) - 1964 Olympic Champion & 1960 bronze medallist passed away at the age of 86.

    • Off to Milan for the 145th session of the International Olympic Committee. Although the agenda has not been published yet, there shouldn’t be any major items over these two days, apart from the election of a member of the IOC Executive Board. This will be the eighth time the session is held in Italy, the last one being during the Turin 2006 Olympic Games.

    • What is happening in Canada , people leave it  They say life is very expensive , you cant find an appartement , the salary is miserable    is it the multi tax of Trump? 
    • Weightlifting We now have six events per gender with a total of 10 athletes per event.   The Olympic Qualification Rankings will be based on the sum of the total results of five events (three from period 1 and two from period 2). The top 8 will qualify.   The 9th spot will also be based on the OQR, but it will go to the highest ranked athlete from an unrepresented continent.   The 10th spot will be split between the host and universality (3 each per gender). Should the United States qualify normally then their host quota will be reduced, first going to an athlete from an unrepresented continent then to the overall highest ranked athlete.   Additionally, a "Best Lifter" will be awarded which would give the nation the chance to qualify 4 athletes rather than the max of 3.
    • The probability of winning a medal in the men's 500m also seems a bit off
