Illya 511 Posted April 17, 2022 #3 Share Posted April 17, 2022 I want to see Ukraine in team sport and predict 170+ sportsmans orangeman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCB 565 Posted April 17, 2022 #4 Share Posted April 17, 2022 A very early prediction. There were 288 Dutch athletes in Tokyo, I expect around 220 in Paris. The women's football players are not going to make it to the World Cup (and therefore not the OG) and the handball women are not so good anymore. The Netherlands will also qualify fewer athletes in swimming, sailing and rowing. Then the results. At the moment I only expect medals for the track cyclists, hockey teams and some athletes. The number of medals won in Tokyo (10-10-12) is not improved. Athletes to especially look forward to: Nienke Brinkman (marathon athletics) Sharon van Rouwendaal (marathon swimming) Marit Bouwmeester (sailing) Femke Bol (400 hurdles athletics) Hockey team (men) Katja Stam/Raisa Schoon (beach volleyball) Sanne Vermeer (judo). rafalgorka and Dnl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDOG 2,418 Posted April 17, 2022 #5 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Around 150 athletes. Right now our delegation would only compete for top places in a few team sports and nothing else. But, that projection could improve after I see the results of a few individual World Championships this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps 7,670 Posted April 17, 2022 #6 Share Posted April 17, 2022 early prediction... I hope in 2024 we're still here to think about this kind of frivolities and make any sort of prediction... at the moment, I wouldn't take it for granted...

I agree we're not going to improve on the Tokyo medals, everything really came together last year with super dominant squads in rowing and track cycling and everything going right for the athletics squad. Other athletes I'm really curious about are Mathieu van der Poel (will he ride the road race?), Sifan Hassan (which events will she run?), Van Aanholt / Duetz (sailing), Niek Kimmann (BMX racing) and Emma Oosterwegel (heptathlon athletics).

hckošice 14,822 Posted April 17, 2022 #8 Share Posted April 17, 2022 The closest as possible to 50 ... Athletes I mean, obviously not medals I am not so drunk yet Dnl and Makedonas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makedonas 2,155 Posted April 17, 2022 #9 Share Posted April 17, 2022 I guess I will be extremely optimistic and say 125 athletes and 10 medals I'm curious about athletics and rowing, we have a lot of young athletes doing well in their age categories in recent years, I wonder by 2024 how many medals we can win at the Olympics, a lot will depend on how they do in the senior category the next two years. In Tokyo we won one medal in each (both were gold though). We'll have a few chances in swimming, a few chances in shooting, a few chances in tennis as well. Probably not too unrealistic to expect one medal in each of those. Then we also have water polo, gymnastics, sailing, wrestling, taekwondo, basketball, judo, boxing, fencing etc. Some of these sports we have good chances for 1 or 2 medals, some of sports we have small chances.

intoronto 5,638 Posted April 17, 2022 #10 Share Posted April 17, 2022 For sure less athletes. I predict women's soccer (defending champs) doesn't qualify either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
