Athletics: i have a little hope for gold of Caseta or Chiaraviglio.....but thats it: only hope, i dont 

 

Basque Pelota: i expect at least another gold here.

 

Beach Volleyball: wow, very optimistic here....

 

 

Boxing: This "sport" is very dificult to predict with all the corruption.....i really dont think in a gold medal here but yes in another medals and more than one, in who are you thinking for the gold?

 

 Football: i believe the male team can win a medal, not the female.

 

Rugby Sevens: a male medal, sure, but no the gold one.

 

Surf: Wow, i dont think Argentina will win a gold medal here.

 

Volleyball: I dont expect medals here, may be a bronze.

 

 

Athletics: Chiaraviglio has done nothing this season. I don't even expect a medal from him unless the favorites fail.  Casetta's event is very random sometimes, that's why I don't predict gold, but it's possible.  

 

Pelota: we're favorite for both trinquete events but I don't think for any other?  

 

Beach volley: Brazil and USA will come with their z teams, medals are possible.

 

Boxing: Leonela Sanchez is current pan panamerican champion, right? It's terrible how we failed in the qualification.

 

Football: we can't even find 18 players for the men's team, we won't win a medal here... the women don't have Banini she's like 70% of the team.

 

Rugby: USA is coming with the B team. Still, sevens is unpredictable.

 

Surf: Brazil won't have the best surfers. But when I made this prediction I didn't know that Muñiz was out of competition for 6 months. Yes, probably nothing here then...

 

Volleyball: our B team is very good and should beat everyone except Brazil B team. I don't know Cuba, they play the olympic qualifiers too but maybe they will bring their A team here since they have 0 chance vs Russia or Iran. In any case our team will get a bronze at least. USA participates too but they always bring a university team here.

You are rigth about Chiaraviglio but i have some confidence in him and for the "particularitys" of his speciality.

 

In pelota i have big confidence in the team, i change one silver for a gold of your prediction.

 

Boxing: you are rigth, i forget Leonela but like i said: its a very random sport, everything is possible......

 

Football: the others teams have similar problems and most of our rivals are not from south america, the helps.

 

Rugby: i didnt know that, it will be terrible lose that gold in that case.....

 

Voley: you can be rigth in that case.

Late to the party, but just for fun some gold predictions.

 

Safe bets:

 

Basketball men, Basque Pelota x2 (both Trinquete), Boxing (L. Sánchez), Canoeing (Vernice), Field Hockey (2), Judo (Pareto), Rowing (M2-), Rugby men, Sailing x2 (Lightning, Snipe), Skating (Artistic x2), Softball (men), Surf (longboard men), Swimming x3 (Pignatiello 400, 800, 1500).

 

Contenders: Basque Pelota (Fronton Cuero), Beach Volleyball (Women), Boxing (D. Sánchez), Canoeing (K2 1000, K4 500), Cycling (Molina in BMX, Soto in MTB), Handball (men), Karate (Y. Benítez), Rowing (M2x, M4x, M4-, LW1x, LM2x), Sailing (RS:X men, both 49er, both Laser, Nacra 17), Shooting (F. Gil), Taekwondo (L. Guzmán), Waterski (E. De Armas).

 

I´ll go optmimistic and say 25.

I don't think we have any chance of gold in MTB, Karate and Laser (Bisio is here and he sucks). 49er FX is also almost impossible (yes, I know they won in Toronto but that was a miracle).

 

I think, in comparison, we have more chances to pick a gold in 10m air rifle (cuz it's random), racquetball women, modern pentathlon or some tennis doubles than in those.

Yeah, I put the sailing ones just out of respect to the defending champions and the sport (?). Racquetball and pentathlon I don´t see it, maybe tennis, but who knows. Shooting could be, but USA came with the full team bar Hancock.

    • The first prediction is OK for us, but the second is unfortunately disastrous... With 28 medals, only 4 gold at home? And as the same number of gold medals as the UK and Slovenia, who have a combined 6-7 medals overall? It's a disaster. Anything less than 6 gold medals and a place in the top 10 of the medal standings will be a disaster for us... Personally, I'd rather even win 22-23 medals with 6-7 of which are gold, than 28 medals with 4 gold... Yes, every medal counts, but in sport, it's all about winning; the rest are just consolation prizes.

    • Both morocco + senegal got sanctions :     Senegal coach Pape Thiaw has been banned for five of the six 2027 AFCON qualifying matches and handed an individual fine of $100,000 for "bringing the game into disrepute." Senegal players Iliman Ndiaye and Ismaila Sarr will miss the first two qualifiers for the next AFCON later this year for "unsporting behavior towards the referee       Morocco also hit with big fine Morocco's federation were fined a total of $315,000 for unsporting and improper conduct by their players, coaches and supporters. A whopping $200,000 of that total was for the behavior of the stadium ball boys, who attempted to seize a towel being used by Senegal goalkeeper Edouard Mendy on a wet night in Rabat — in an apparent bid to distract him. An additional fine of $100,000 was imposed for the "improper conduct" of players and technical staff who invaded the VAR review area and obstructed the work of the DR Congo referee Jean-Jacques Ndala. There was also a $15,000 fine after Moroccan supporters used lasers to try and distract Senegalese players during the game. Captain Achraf Hakimi was also banned for two games, with one suspended, and Morocco's Ismael Saibari was banned for three games, both for "unsporting behavior".

    • Olivia Weaver was up 9-4 in the 5th game.  Hania El Hammamy  then scored 5 straight points to tie it up.  Then, took the lead with a sixth straight point, then won with a 7th straight point, taking the Sprott Tournament of Champions in New York.  Still, congrats to Weaver for bringing home second place!  (And congrats to El Hammamy...what a streak at the end!)
    • One thing working in our favor with Luge is that Women's Doubles is just one sled per NOC, so I like our chances there.  We'll be 3rd or 4th in the Relay (one of my favorite events)...if everyone slides cleanly, we'll probably be 4th, behind , , and ...but anything can happen in the relay.  (I think in my official predictions I had us 3rd.  Wishful thinking, I suppose.)
