I'd rather take Fencing back to the Middle Age...duels with big swords...and, of course, up to the last man standing...   and I'd also like the Sharks Pursuit Surfing and the Crocodile Pursui

I'm all about more events so I'm ready for people disagreeing with my "utopic" proposals. :p

 

Archery: mixed team [+1]

Athletics: 4x800m or 4x1500m relay [+2]

Canoeing (Sprint): two women's C events and men's/women's K-1 5000m [+4]

Canoeing (Slalom): men's C-2 stays, 2 out of 3 team events (women's K-1, men's K-1, men's C-1) [+2]

Cycling (Track): keirin goes in exchange for 500m/1000m time trials and men's madison [-2 +3]

Equestrian: out with dressage [-2]

Fencing: full programme with all teams [+2]

Football: I like LDOG's proposal of men's futsal and women's football [+-0]

Gymnastics (Trampoline): synchronised events [+2]

Modern Pentathlon: mixed team relay [+1]

Shooting: a men's 300m rifle event and 10m running target for both (also, what ever happened to women's double trap?): [+3]

Swimming: mixed 4x100m relay [+1]

Table Tennis: doubles instead of team [+-0]

Taekwondo: at least one more category for both [+2]

Triathlon: mixed team [+1]

 

New sports not being introduced for Tokyo:

 

Air Sports: whatever Bearas would suggest :p [+2]

Boules: pétanque singles [2]

Inline Speed Skating: various distances, road only (and I don't care about speed skating already being at the Winter Games) [+6/8]

Orienteering: middle, sprint relay [+4]

Squash: singles [+2]

Wushu: taolu only, I know some would really hate this sport at the OG :p [+6/8]

So should the rest catch up in swimming since it's one of the core sports to begin with. :d

 

Congrats though, amazing overall performance once again.

I will summarise this topic for everyone:

 

My country sucks at this sport or i have no interest in it -> remove said sport from the Olympics

My country is good at this sport or i have interest in it -> expand this sport into more categories and athletes/matches

Thank You :d and definitely big congrats to Team GB (Always a soft spot for me since i love london so much) Couldn't you spare one medal and allow Sarah Hammer to win finally? sigh..... :p

 

The world really should catch up, though i enjoy that kind of performance in the core sports Swimming, Track and Field, Women Gymanstics. I don't think i sang the Star Spangled Banner so much in my life!

Haha, well your swimmers didn't spare one gold to Laszlo Cseh either (although this year Schooling beat everyone in 100m Butterfly). :p

Yes, precision is also good. Chances for Cambodia and Madagascar, and of course France. ;)

 

 

Yea, but still, I think it's the first time i see a non-french person genuinely calling for pétanque's introduction :p

      The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.

      Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....

      The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.

      The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR

      That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.

      How Many Medals do You Expect from Your Nation at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026？

      By JockCartier · Posted

      I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird

      So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,

      The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.

      I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
