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.

      Curling 2024 - 2025 Discussion | Qualification to Winter Olympic Games Milano-Cortina 2026

      By Josh · Posted

      Finals are set    An all-Canadian final on the women’s side, as Team Homan looks to win their third title of the season (and improve to 18-1) against a hungry Team Einarson who have had a less than ideal start to the season, they were also the last Canadian team to beat Homan over a year ago (same event coincidentally), while on the men’s side it’ll be a battle between Olympic medalists as Team Mouat goes against Team Gushue!

      yeah I know    I mean it wasn't a different team specific for that sport. it was the same CC team participating in both sports.

      from what I heard , Iran has registered to participate in Alpine, CC skiing, SkiMo, Skating (they didn't mention which discipline ) and ... (this one will be surprising ) ... Curling    Curling is not a sure thing yet, the NOC has to approve it. the team is very new. I mean very very new, only few months ago they gathered few people to start the sport  you can't lose 100-0 in Curling, right ?    anyway it will be first time ever Iran participating outside of FIS disciplines. ( I didn't count Ski orienteering in 2011 which was the same as CC)   nobody cares about winter sports here. therefore finishing last won't have consequences. they can afford sending very weak teams. (which is not the case for the main Asian Games)

      11 medals out of 15 athletes. for whatever reason  we sent an incomplete team of 16 athletes (only 1 left for tomorrow) I wish I knew why  I can guess though   the result is indeed very good in such a competitive sport but lack of talent was never our problem in taekwondo. it was always there probably much more than any other country.    but the problem is the transition to the senior team. most of previous junior world champions never even made the senior team. (the new federation is doing better in this regard though)
