Fencing 1-2

Judo 1

Gymnastics 1

Rowing 1

Handball 1

Wrestling 1

If the lights light up exactly at the correct moment, he was definitely first, since his light went on first. Not sure if those lights are 100% accurate though?

Looking at the past year or so, we (Netherlands) will probably go home with 1 gold, 186 silver medals and maybe 1 or 2 bronzes

I am cautious about expectations. If I had to guess I would probably say that Croatia will win 6-7 medals. Perkovic and Sinkovic brothers should be a safe bet, but you never know. Vlasic would also be quite sure in the absence of russian high Jumpers, but she has been out for a while now after surgery. Besides that there are some more chances (e.g. in Shooting, Sailing, Handball, Boxing), but nothing is certain. I doubt that our Water polo team can win something this time.

The stated goal from our NOC is more than 1 gold for the first time ever and at least 8 total, top 30 in the medal table and above Venezuela, Mexico and Argentina. I can see 2-5 in cycling, 1-3 in weightlifitng, 0-1 in judo, wrestling and gymnastics and there's probably some bronze coming out of nowhere. Not so sure about Argentina but I do think above Mexico and Venezuela.

You forgot Ibarguen.

 

IMO Colombia (barring always possible accidents) should win 3/4 golds. It's highly unlikely ARG, MEX or VEN win that number of gold so, I think that "objective" is safe.

A bit early to predict, we still even don't know our squad in important sports. if IOC/IWF bans Russia/Kazakhstan and Belarus this will benefit Iran a lot. but I expect 5-6 in wrestling, 3 in Taekwondo and 3-4 in weightlifting. which means something around 11 plus one more in another sport. (hopefully)

 

so I would say 12. the exact number of 2012. even though I have to admit this is a bit optimistic.

I did. What a terrible brainfart lol.

 

I can see Argentina getting 2 at least tho. Not a sure thing, but possible.

It could be anywhere from 15-25 for Canada (though more likely 18-22).  

 

Very good shots: M's decathlon, high jump and pole vault; W's heptathlon; W's 8 rowing; W's synchro 3m and 10m diving; W's Team Pursuit Cycling (8)

 

Good shots: W's rugby; M's 200m Kayak; M's 1500m swimming; M's 4x100m relay Athletics; W's trampoline; W's golf; M's Judo (7)

 

Fair shots: W's 800m Athletics; M's 20k walk; M's 400m swimming; W's 400 IM; W's basketball; W's beach volleyball; M's 100m Athletics; M's 200m canoe; M's 1000m kayak; W's mountain bike; W's 3m and 10m diving (12)

 

Anything can happen: Various rowing; various canoe/kayak; M's basketball (if they qualify and then field their best team); W's long jump; W's boxing; W's wrestling; M's BMX; various W's track cycling; Show Jumping; W's football; various W's gymnastics (i.e. Ellie Black on the beam); W's TKD; various swimming (i.e. relays); Tennis doubles/mixed doubles (0-?)

 

I would expect 8/8 from group one, at least 5/7 from group 2, half of group three would be great, and some surprises from group 4 would be fantastic.  The issue for Canada is that we have no real favourites for gold in any event.  M's high jump and maybe W's trampoline are the closest, though (I put trampoline in group 2 because it is judged and apparently even when certain athletes from certain countries fall down they still get medals, so who knows what will happen).

New Zealand has set a target of 14 medals at the Rio Games which would be New Zealands most medals at the Olympics. However this number should be met with predictions of up to 25 medals. I am predicting 20 medals. 

 

It should be a great couple of weeks for New Zealand!

Update from the previous one haha :d

1 gold medal maybe (of course I'd like to see more).. And maybe 3-4 medals in total for us.

 

Hoping for a surprise medal not from the 3 sports (archery/badminton/weightlifting), but yeah it won't happen anyway :wall:

      Speed Skating ISU World Cup 2024 - 2025

      2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway

      very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)

      is considering US born goalie Joey Daccord for the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off.    https://thehockeynews.com/news/team-canada-is-seriously-considering-usa-born-joey-daccord-for-4-nations-face-off   .923 SV% in 13 games, and 9-3-1 on the season. Would be a big pickup for our goalie issues.
