Rowing: 1-2 (Doble Sculls W and  Quadruple sculls W)

Sailing: 1-2 (RS;X M and W)

Shooting: 1-2 (Bogacka and ... Bogacka)

Swimming: 1-2 (Kawęcki and Czerniak)

Table tennis 0-1 maybe Team M

Tennis: 0-1 maybe Radwańska/Kubot

Triathlon 0-1 no way

Volleyball 1-2 (Team M and Fijałek/Prudel)

Weightlifting 1-2 (A. Zieliński and Michalski) 

Wrestling 1-2 (Gadzhiev and Matkowska)

Athletics- 3-5 (men's javelin, Spotakova, Hejnova, possibly Maslak or Drahotova, others possible but unlikely)

Badminton- not going to happen

Canoe Slalom- 2-3 (Kudejova, Prskavec, probably one other)

Canoe Sprint- 2-3 (Fuksa, 4-kayak, possibly 2-canoe)

Cycling- not going to happen, road or track

Mountain Biking- 1 (Kulhavy, would be nice to see Nash but probably not)

Fencing- very unlikely Choupentich can pull it off

Gymnastics- not going to happen

Judo- 1 (Krpalek, others unlikely)

Modern pentathlon- 1-2 (Svoboda, Kuf maybe)

Rowing- 1-2 (Synek, Knapkova)

Sailing- very unlikely (Fenclova is good but I don't think she will medal)

Shooting- 0-2 (Kostelecky/Sykorova/Mazurova could pull it off, but I honestly think even one medal would be an achievement)

Swimming- very unlikely, synchronized also

Table tennis- not going to happen

Tennis- 1-2 (Hlavackova/Hradecka, possibly Kvitova or other doubles pair)

Triathlon/Volleyball/Wrestling/Weightlifting- not going to happen.

It's a pretty optimistic list, I guess.

 

 

@OlympicsFan @LowerSaxony @T&Fwatch Am I reading this right? Does this say the German federations have 86 medals as their target? :yikes:

 

Quote

86 Medaillen, darunter 28 aus Gold, hatten die Fachverbände dem Deutschen Olympischen Sportbund als Zielvorgabe avisiert.

http://www.zeit.de/news/2016-08/04/olympia-turner-hambuechen-hasst-medaillenzaehlerei-04113005

 

Surely that must be a mistake in my translation, right? 

 

 

Edit: Ah wait, that was the goal for London 2012, but this time the goal is to equal London 2012? That's a bit more realistic than 86 medals I guess :d

It wasnt really the goal. At the beginning of each olympic period the federations get their funding according to the number of medals they won at the last olympics and then they make an "agreement" with DOSB about the number of medals they are "supposed" to win at the next olympic games with the money they get. 86 medals wouldve been the "goal" if all federations wouldve won the maximum number of medals, but no one in Germany expected that we could/would win 86 medals.

This time our goal is to win at least as many medals as in 2012, so at least 44 medals.

By looking at the second link, you can see that DOSB expected 27-42 medals in Sochi, but no one would say that the goal was to win 42 medals. Thats just the number of medals that we couldve won in a perfect case.

For the Rio olympics our "goal" is to win 42-71 medals (link 2, page 7). You could say that 71 is the number of medal contenders, predicted 4 years before the start of the games.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.
 

 

Summarised very well from OlympicsFan, there were huge discussions about non realistic expectations and how ridiculous they were. So now they don't say exactly numbers anymore. 

Some of the projections are really over the top (even in their lower end)

 

Judo: 3-4

Cannoeing: 8 (including 2 in slalom)

...

 

And a few are really on the lower side

 

Athletics: 4-6

 

Maybe, it made sense in 2012, don't know, But in 2016, it doesn't appear to be the case.

Thanks for the explanation, that makes sense.

You mean for Germany, right? Yeah, 6 athletics medals as the maximum when everything goes perfect is...let's just say, quite a low maximum :p

Yes, Germany (from the DOSB file)

 

Right now a 8-10 bracket could be seen as legit.

If everything works perfectly (with all luck on German side) I see these German medalists in athletics:

- 4x100w

- 4x100m

- 100H Roleder

- 3000SC Krause

- LJw Moguenara

- HJw Jungfleisch 

- PVm Holzdeppe 

- SPm Storl

- SPw Schwanitz

- Discus m (2×) Harting

- Discus w Fischer 

- Javelin m Roehler

- Javelin w Hussong 

- Decathlon Abele

 

I think this would be absolutely best case scenario.

    • I thought that was the case.  I just started watching skimo last year, but even then, I didn't recognize any of the women.  I recognized the top Swiss guy, I think.
    • Puripol Boonson seizes home men's 100m sprint gold after going sub-10 seconds in heats   https://www.olympics.com/en/news/sea-games-athletics-mens-100m-final-results-puripol-boonson   First Southeast Asian to go under ten seconds in the 100 meters.
    • Yes, that and a lot of the main medal contenders  either didn't have teams entered/or fielded B-C teams
    • Write-up on the Gisin story.   Olympic champion Gisin undergoes cervical spine surgery after crash
    • Seriously wish Bialystok will be banned from any European competition and for long time.
    • Unexpected boost for Team .  They are at least going to have a credible excuse if anyone fails any drug tests.     American rapper Snoop Dogg has been named an 'honorary coach' for Team USA at next year's Winter Olympics.   The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) announced on Thursday the 54-year-old will take on "a volunteer role celebrating and supporting America's athletes off the field of play".   Snoop Dogg named 'honorary coach' for Team US at Winter Olympics - BBC Sport
    • Just now getting around to these results...glad to see USA win a gold.  Didn't think we were much of a contender here.  Home soil luck?
    • Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall.
