Always fun for me to follow Asian Games , GL to all teams participating :yes the only thing that bother me here a little bit is having this amount of events ,iam not with having all these amount of events in one single games

I’m ok with a lot of events, but the thing upsets me is the randomness of which events were chosen

well yeah. there are so many extra events . specially this year. Indonesia completely ruined the competition by adding Bridge, Pencak Silat, Paragliding, Dragon Boat and Jet Ski ! we also have Sambo, Kurash and Ju-jitsu. I would drop all of them plus Soft Tennis . the only good addition IMO is Sport Climbing. but even in Sport Climbing, we won't have a normal 6 events program. we will have combined event, speed and speed relay ! guess why ? because Indonesia is only good in speed events !

 

there are so many bad things in this current program. they dropped 3 heaviest weight in Boxing !! 75kg will be heaviest weight in Boxing !! they also wanted to drop super heavy weight in Weightlifting and Karate but at least this time the Asian Federation didn't let them . another funny thing is we will have team compound events but not individual events !!! I never heard such thing, having the team event but not the individual event !! we have the same situation in Paragliding Cross-country events !

 

but the biggest change is in Shooting program, we used to have team events for all individual events. that was a good idea to drop them all. China and Korea will lose lots of easy gold medals. still China, Korea and Japan will be in top 3. even though this time Japan probably stands a chance to surpass Korea. but it will be hard to predict the rest of the table because of so many new events we will have. I believe Kazakhstan is still the favorite for the 4th place . I won't surprise if Indonesia or most probably Thailand beat the rest for the 5th place. the new events are mostly good for these two countries plus Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.

Ya, the organizing Committee failed here, not did they choose events/sports that the other Asian Games (Indoor, Beach) are ment for, they also tried eliminate Olympic events and keep the ones that benefit their medal chances, not pleased. I think the quality will be lower this year

Team sports draw

http://aroundtherings.com/site/A__63931/Title__COR-makes-debut-in-Asian-Games-draw/292/Articles

 

and we will have this COR (unified Korean team) idea in women's basketball. they have a good chance to medal. we will see this stupid COR idea in medal table :(

 

I wonder what format they want to use in volleyball with 6 groups ! AVC is inventing weird formats recently.

As an Iranian what do you predict about the medals and tally at the Asian games 2018

I do agree with some nonsense cutting of events .Not having 3 boxing categories is bad. Indonesia did get a medal in team compound at world cup once so it's there. Else it would also be cancelled. India has a gold in men's individual compound from last time so it's lost now .Those martial arts are all wierd I don't like any of them .What should be your top 10 countries  in medal tally and why not Iran 4th or 5th ?

I can analyze Iran's chance sport by sport or even athlete by athlete but what will be long and boring for other users.

 

but in summary we won 21 gold medals in 2014 and 20 in 2010. I expect more or less the same this time. probably a bit less because two of our top sports wrestling and Taekwondo are not in great situation. still some of these new sports. mostly Sport CLimbing and Kurash can make up for that. even in weightlifting we could win more golds because of suspensions of China and Kazakhstan.

 

here is my prediction about the number of gold medals for Iran

 

4-5 in Wrestling
2-3 in Weightlifting
2-3 in Karate
1-2 in Taekwondo

1-2 in Rowing
1 in Sport Climbing
1 in Wushu
1 in Athletics
1 in Kurash

1 in Volleyball
2-3 in Other sports, Shooting, Basketball, Canoeing, Archery, Fencing, Judo, Cycling, Jujitsu

Actually Iran won the men's individual compound gold medal :p but Yeah India is also very good in compound and will hurt from dropping compound events.

 

as I said Iran will win more or less the same number of medal. 20 gold medals was enough for 4th place in 2010 and 21 was enough for 5th place in 2014 and there was a good margin between Iran and 6th place Thailand but I think this time that number of gold medals won't be enough for top 5 !! Thailand will win lots of golds with these new sports. Pencak Silat alone will give 7-8 gold medals to Indonesia and probably 3-4 to Thailand. and Thailand is pretty good in Paragliding. so I think Thailand has a good chance to even challenge Kazakhstan for 4th place. Thailand is also good in women's martial arts. and now China is banned. Thailand will also dominate the women's weightlifting.

 

and Sambo and Kurash will give so many gold medals to Central Asian countries. Kurash is the national sport of Uzbekistan.

 

for example these new sports won't be good for you guys in India, I might be wrong but I can't see any gold medal for India in all these new sports. and dropping some shooting events will hurt India even more.

 

1 China

2-3 Korea, Japan

4-5 Kazakhstan, Thailand

6-8 Iran, Indonesia, Uzbekistan

9-11 India, Chinese Taipei, North Korea

    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
    • The worst editions in XXI century for us were Vancouver: 5 medals (only 1 gold for Razzoli's on the penultimate day) and Sochi: 8 medals (but no gold). Turin was already a prelude to this bad period, although the number of gold medals was ok. Overall we won fewer medals at home than in 2002 and this was probably the only case in the 21st century when the host country won fewer medals at home than 4 years earlier, either in summer or winter. In general the years 2008-2016 were very bad in our sport, both in summer and winter. Only 2018 in Korea was a slight rebuild + 2 fantastic summer editions in Tokyo and Paris. in Beijing 2022 we won a lot of medals - 17 but only 2 gold (If it weren't for Gogga's injury, I think it would have been 4 gold).
