Curious results in friendlies for our hockey teams...

 

Women's

:ARG (U-21) 4 - 1  :KOR 

:ARG (Senior) 1 - 2 :KOR 

:ARG (U-21) 2 - 2 :NZL 

:ARG (Senior) 2 - 5 :NZL 

:ARG (U-21) 5 - 1 :KOR 

:ARG (Senior) 3 - 1 :KOR 

:ARG (Senior) 2 - 2 :KOR 

 

Men's

:ARG 5 - 2 :IRL 

:ARG 2 - 1 :IRL (both in BA)

:ARG 3 - 0 :AUS (in Deodoro today)

 

 

So, basically our men's team is in top shape and our women's team is playing worse than our U21 :lol:

 

But now being serious, friendlies, be it win or lose, aren't really meaningful ;)

Something to kill time with... a video made by our NOC about all argentine medalists in history. They are all in random order and that makes an interesting contrast to watch, also there's some nice old footage for some.

 

Since we don't have that many medals it's only 12 minutes long :d

Time for my final analysis/prediction (not quite) of argentine perfomance in Rio... @konig

 

Athletics: I predict final for Toledo (Javelin) and Chiaraviglio (Pole Vault). All the others will have average/poor performances (including Lauro, sadly), though we might see some PBs. 

 

Basketball: I predict QF. Not much more we can do honestly.

 

Boxing: I think all except Blanc and Martínez will advance to 2nd round. No one is winning a medal though, Melian has AZE/KAZ/UZB in QF and Peralta has Erislandy Savon in QF, so.. nothing.

 

Canoeing: In slalom and the Sprint K-4 I don't expect anything. I think Ruben Rezola will make the final of K-1 200, but don't think he has enough to fight for a medal.

 

Cycling Road: only men's Road Race... not expecting much.

 

MTB: Soto can have a decent race (top 20).

 

BMX: Molina won't do anything, Gaby Diaz can make a decent semi in a good day.

 

Equestrian Jumping: I have a hinch the team can make a top 10, not expecting much in the individual.

 

Fencing: Out in first round again for our only Sabre girl.

 

Hockey: Less than silver will be a disappointment in W. I think this is our one chance to win the gold, if it's not now don't think it will ever will. In Men's this is also our best ever chance to win a medal, but it will be tough.

 

Football: Expecting anything from total disaster to gold.

 

Golf: With all the absenses I seriously think Grillo has a shot at a medal in a good week. Gomez not much chance.

 

Gymnastics Artistic: Expecting nothing from both.

 

Handball: Both teams will lose all games.

 

Judo: Lucenti hasn't a chance. Pareto will win a medal (don't know what color) if she passes to QF, cuz I don't see her losing twice in the same day.

 

Modern Pentathlon: Khokhlova can make top 10, Zapata among last places. 

 

Rowing: Final C for both our single sculls. Sad to the see the state of this sport.

 

Rugby Sevens: I think we have a shot at medal, Fiji is the only team we can't beat and luckily we have them in our group. Again, another sport that heavily depends on the day.

 

Sailing: I expect nothing from RS:X and Laser. I expect medal race for: 49er, 49er FX, 470 M and Nacra17. The last 3 have a shot at a medal, I expect at least 1 of them to achieve it.

 

Shooting: I predict Federico Gil will make the final, but will finish 5th or 6th (as usual for him). The others have no chance.

 

Swimming: I predict Grabich will be our big disappointment of this games.... the others can't do much, but I think we'll see a few argentine records.

 

Synch Swimming: Nothing to say.

 

Tennis: All out in first round.

 

Triathlon: Not expecting much.

 

Beach Volleyball: Our girls will pass group, but that's it.

 

Volleyball: Women's team will end with 1-4 record. Men's team is candidate for dark horse. Should be QF at least, then depends which opponent... USA/Italy are beatable in a good day, Brazil/France not so much.

 

Weightlifting: not expecting anything from our girl.

 

Wrestling: Bermudez can maybe win one match.

Total agree with you in: Athletics, Cycling Road (may be a miracle of Sepulveda), MTB, BMX, fencing, Hockey, Football, Golf, Gymnastics Artistic, Handball, Modern Pentathlon, rowing, rugby seven, Synch Swimming, Volleyball and Weightlifting

 

Basketball: after the friendlys matchs, for me they can be defeated or defeat any team except U.S.A, i dont expect a medal for them but it isnt impossible.

 

Boxing: the judges makes this sport very unpredictable, i have a little hope for Melian......its a shame what happen with Yamil Peralta, he can figth in quaterfinals with the big candidate of gold, with the rest i agree.

 

Canoeing: in this case i disagree: i expect a semifinal for Rossi and a final of the k4 men, im more pessimistic with Rezola, i dont see him in the final.

 

Equestrian Jumping:it should be for the sorpresive silver medal of the Panamericans but i have a big faith in them, we can expected a diploma of the team, i agree with you in the individual performance.

 

Judo: i agree with Pareto and i think Lucenti can be a surprise, at least he can win a diploma for me.

 

Sailing: i agree in all except about Alsogaray in men Laser: he can be in the medal race for me.

 

Shooting: i think the sam of Gil but i have a little hope of final for the rest, except for Fournel who doesnt have any chance.

 

Swimming: you have strong reasons to think that of Grabich but i stil thiking that he can make semifinas/finals but i dont think a medal, i agree with the rest.

 

Tennis: agree in singles but you dont mention doubles, i see better chances there.

 

Triathlon: Tellechea can be top 10 for me

 

Beach Volleyball and Wrestling:its not impossible a diploma here.

1- Lucenti will win first fight vs Lebanon, but can't beat Valois or the Pietri.

 

2-Doubles of Del Potro can advance maybe one round, but no more. Delbonis I think has a chance vs Nadal, only because he's injured. If he can beat him, then the draw is opened.

 

3-Top 10? no way.

    • We don’t even have a broadcaster or streaming platform for the games ! IOC couldn’t get any deal for the Indian viewers and we can’t watch this games live ! 
    • 2028 Team Size Projection – Jan 2026 Update   Here’s an update to my 2028 Team Size Projection. While I touch upon major events changes may occur due to results in smaller events. Additionally, several sports released their qualification document so there may be cases where I have to update the projection. I will only include sports where there is an update.   Here is the link to the updated sheet.     Aquatics (Water Polo) The Men’s European Championships saw take gold. The victory moved Serbia up a few places between European nations. With that said, no one fell out of Olympic qualification with the likes of France and Romania still on the outside looking in. remains on the edge.   Athletics (Marathon) Both the Xiamen and Osaka marathons were held this month along with a few other smaller events. While there were a few changes in the rankings, in terms of Olympic projections gains an athlete in the men’s marathon at the expense of   Badminton Major tournaments include the Malaysia Open and India Open. New updates which affected projections include the women’s doubles where overtook . As Polina Buhrova is also scheduled to compete in the singles event, an additional spot has been open. Other changes in the women’s singles was loses one of their quotas. and benefit from those losses.   Indonesia’s loss on the women’s side is offset by gaining a second player in the men’s singles. This puts   on the outside.   Canoeing The qualification document for both Slalom and Sprint were released/updated. No significant changes were found in the Sprint update. Slalom had significant changes relative to 2024 where the initial quotas will be decided by rankings and kayak cross will now have significant quotas being allocated. After adjustment, the following nations lost a quota; Andorra, Chinese Taipei, Ireland, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Slovakia, and Sweden. The following nations gained a quota; Canada, China, France, Italy, South Africa, Spain, and Tunisia.   Cricket The Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier was held. No changes to the projection.   Equestrian (Dressage & Jumping) Various World Cup events were held. No changes to the projections were made.   Fencing We had two Grand Prix this month, one for epee and the other for sabre. In men’s epee, overtakes . On the women’s side, the United States moved into the top 4 in the team ranking, pushing Estonia down to fifth. This pushed out of Olympic qualification while takes the Americas quota. This caused a downstream effect on the individual side as Ukraine takes an individual quota and Canada relinquishes their quota, additionally, gained a quota while lost one.   In men’s sabre, now takes the Asian team quota pushing down to just an individual quota. No changes were found in women’s sabre.   Handball Four men’s continental championships were held this month. finished top in Africa while a couple of upsets were saw in South America and Asia where and won over and respectively. Despite their wins, they currently haven’t leapfrogged into being projected to qualify. We’ll see how they perform at the World Championships.   Europe saw finish fourth. This was enough to push it into Olympic qualification projection. They pushed out.   Rowing The qualification document was released. There was a change in boat allocation relative to 2024 and the continental qualifier was slightly different than what I projected. Additionally, I assumed coastal rowing would allow 2 men and 2 women to compete in its three events, but the max is 1 man and 1 woman. This has caused significant changes to the projections.   Overall, the United States lost four quotas. Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, and Spain lost two quotas and Algeria, Argentina, Croatia, Cuba, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Portugal, Tunisia lost one quota.   The following nations have gained two athletes; Japan, Morocco while the following nations gained one athlete; Angola, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Cote d’Ivoire, Denmark, Estonia, Kuwait, Latvia, Mexico, Romania, Philippines, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Togo, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu   Rugby Sevens Fixing a couple of mistakes. First on the men, actually has the Asian quota over and in the women as is essentially shutting down the program, I think it is only right to remove them until they decide to compete again. This means is also projected to qualify.   As for new updates, we saw the third tier SVNS compete, which brought no new updates and the Singapore SVNS. I also didn’t add the Dubai or Cape Town SVNS in my calculations. For both, while there was some shuffling no one ultimately fell out.   Shooting The Asian Shotgun Championships were held this month. A few top shooters were missing. The only change to the projection is is set to qualify in women’s trap, pushing out   Squash The Tournament of Champions was held this month. Additionally, the qualification document was released. There was some restriction as to how many nations can send two players and this sport will offer universality quotas.   The following nations lost an athlete quota; Colombia, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand. The following nations gained an athlete quota; Canada, Pakistan, Spain (x2), Switzerland, Ukraine   Triathlon The qualification document was released. There are a few changes relative to 2024. Projection changes include: Losses to Hong Kong and Slovenia and gains for Austria and China.   Weightlifting The qualification document was released. One change to be made was the reallocation process for host nation quotas. Due to this, El Salvador Iraq, Palau, Sri Lanka, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu lost quotas while Australia, China, Dominican Republic, Iran, and Samoa (x2) gained quotas.   Wrestling The qualification document was released. There were some significant changes to the qualification process including using the world rankings and the final qualifier only consisting of non-qualified nations. The projection changes are as follows; losses to Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, and Turkey.   Belgium and Lithuania gained 2 quotas while American Samoa, Austria, Estonia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Latvia, Madagascar, Spain, and Turkmenistan gained 1 quota.
    • Looks like we in the Philippines are in the same situation. No news yet on whether we’ll be able to watch the Games 
    • Cricket is any day in a better position than Baseball, Modern Pentathlon or Rowing 8s globally
    • http://i.imgur.com/gLJZbix.jpg   Honestly football is just on another level. For other sports, an expanded field or creating multiple host cities likely only works with baseball, cricket and maybe basketball, and only in very specific countries.
    • No streaming for the games in India. I contacted IOC they just sent me a list where the games will be shown live.    Last games we had the Olympic channel and YouTube showing the live coverage for regions with no media rights. This time sadly no such schedule.   So much about making the games accessible to all...
    • What revealed those files of Epstein !!!! thousands of scandals , horrible diguisting things mixing politic criminalities , robbery , scam , manipulation...etc    all those celebrities of shht that you love   
    • I wonder if instead of having flexibility around what sport to add there should be one or two team sports per game with an expanded field (of 16 or 32 or w/e) where the host gets to pick which which team sports (if any) has an expanded field.
