I was checking the schedule , we will have athletes in 10 sports tomorrow. we will win medals in Taekwondo and Wrestling for sure. there are very slim chances in Shooting and Fencing.

 

no chance for gold in Poomsae Taekwondo. because South Korea will swap all 4 gold medals. but in Wrestling. one gold medal is (99%) sure thing but I hope for one more. I can't remember the last time we won a gold medal in 1st day of the competition. usually our favorite sports start in the 2nd week of the Games but this time is a bit different.

 

again no seeding in wrestling. so we have some not balanced draws. but in general I'm OK with our draw in wrestling. 74kg is really terrible. top half is too easy while in bottom half we have Sushil Kumar - Batirov in the first round. and then Ganzorig (remember this guy ? Mongolian coaches stripping in Rio :d) and Fujinami. plus our Hosseinkhani and Abdurakhmanov. almost all of these guys are World medalists.

 

at 57 we will have the early final in 1st round, Takahashi (current world champion) vs Kang of North Korea. our Reza Atri will have win-or-die match in 2nd round. he has to beat Sandeep Tomar of India to stand a chance for bronze. because the winner of this match will lose to Erdenebat (MGL) in semifinal.

 

and the match I'm waiting for will be 97kg semifinal between Karimi and the Russian born Uzbek guy Ibragimov. this guy is something like a nightmare for our wrestling :d he beat whoever we send in past few years. most of his wins were close but he knew how to beat our wrestlers. this time our federation made a 90kg guy to move up weight to challenge this guy. I wonder how Karimi will do against a guy around 10kg heavier than himself ! Ibragimov is 34 ! I don't want him to retire before losing to one of our wrestlers :d

He was one of the biggest hits of the Olympics on the Dutch forum (together with Nijat Rahimov and Kim Woo-jin), so cool to see him again :d

    • Just a bump reminder that we have the annual Stadium Race from Schalke FC's ground in Gelsenkirchen on Saturday evening.    
    • Since I didn't follow the Games that closely, two categories I'm having trouble finding candidates for are Comeback of the Year and the Olympic Spirit Award (the Paris 2024 award for individuals who exemplify the spirit of sportsmanship at the Games or have shown great determination in overcoming obstacles). If you guys have any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.      Comeback of the Year   Adam Peaty (Swimming) Tom Daley (Diving) Kristof Milak (Swimming) Matteo Berrettini (Tennis) Paula Badosa (Tennis)  Sunisa Lee (Artistic Gymnastics)     Olympic Spirt Award   Fariba Hashimi (Road Cycling) Flavia Saraiva (Artistic Gymnastics) Ellie Black (Artistic Gymnastics) Csanad Gemsi (Fencing) Silina Pha Aphay (Athletics) Sander Skotheim (Athletics) Cindy Ngamba (Boxing)  
    • Have mercy, I can't last 18 days without sleep.  
    • This might be unpopular but it would allow way more sports and quotas and cities to host at a lower cost. 
    • I think Julia Tannheimer will continue to perform so well on the flatter courses in Ruhpolding and Antholz, which will suit her technique. Oberhof will be more exciting, the courses are very demanding, but quite comparable to the World Championships in Lenzerheide. That's why I'm really looking forward to Oberhof this season. Anyone who can cope well with the courses in Oberhof should also be able to run at the front at the World Championships.
    • My IF THE OLYMPICS WERE THIS CHRISTMAS predicted medal table   17-18-12---47 15-12-7---34 13-8-8---29 11-10-7---28 9-5-7---21 8-13-3---24 7-6-9---22 6-7-6---19 6-6-9---21 6-6-5---17 5-8-6---19 3-2-4---9 2-6-4---12 2-2-4---8 2-2-3---7 1-1-3---5 1-0-3---4 1-0-3---4 1-0-3---4 0-3-0---3 0-1-0---1 0-0-2---2 0-0-2---2 0-0-1---1 0-0-1---1 0-0-1---1 0-0-1---1 0-0-1---1 0-0-1---1
    • Thanks for your predictions, they are very interesting.   But here it will be a different format. Combined events - pairs of athletes, one male/female will perform in downhill and other will perform in slalom. E.g. Team SUI 1 Odermatt plus Meillard.
    • Interesting (optimistic) predictions for GB. Don‘t See Them winning 5 golds (more than China and as many as Canada). I think 3 golds are more Realistic (Brookes + 2 in curling/skeleton). Especially gold for Bankes seems To be a rather optimistic prediction, given that Casta is 11 years younger and just beat Bankes.
    • Medal Table (Change from 2022)    - 20 (+4)  - 13 (+1)  - 13 (+5)  - 9 (+7)  - 9 (=)  - 7 (+2)  - 7 (=)  - 6 (-2)  - 6 (-1)  - 5 (+1)  - 5 (+4)  - 4 (+1)  - 4 (-5)  - 3 (+2)  - 2 (=)  - 1 (=)  - 1 (+1)      -5,  -2,  -2,  -2, , -1, , -1, , -1 fail to male the list   On 1st glance 1 feel I have underestimated Canada, Sweden and Finland, and overestimated GB (obviously) and Netherlands.    If the Russians aren't competing then the Norwegians will have a field day in cross country skiing, but it is too early to tell.   World cups and championships aren't always the best measure for some sports but it's the best I can find.      As an overall trend I feel this will be a strong games for the European nations (home advantage) but the Asian nations might struggle, not necessarily at the extent I predicted here but I don't think their results will be as good as Beijing.
