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 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.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
