It’s hard to know yet but I will begin with our 2 gold medalists from the Tokyo Olympics. 

 

 

1. ROWING - Men’s Lightweight Double Sculls (Paul O’Donovan and Fintan McCarthy)

 

2. BOXING - Women’s Lightweight (Kellie Harrington)

 

 

Then if I had to choose 3 more it would be:

 

3. ARTISTIC GYMNASTICS - Men’s Pommel Horse (Rhys McClenaghan)

 

4. ROWING - Men’s Four (really young crew who came 8th at this year’s World Championships. I’m excited to see what progress they can make.

 

5. SWIMMING - Men’s 800m Freestyle (Daniel Wiffen)

 

 

I took a punt with Daniel Wiffen as he is making steady improvements and with one more jump he could be a medal contender and could even surprise us all in Paris.


 

There are many others in the mix in rowing and boxing but right now it’s impossible to predict which are most likely. In rowing I went for the men’s four due to their youth and their big jump already this year.  I could have chosen the women’s four due to experience and also the fact there will be huge competition for that boat. Also the women’s lightweight double and women’s double both won bronze at this year’s world championships and are on an upward trajectory. 
 

Also Rory McIlroy will surely be a contender in men’s golf if he is on the start line. But golf is too unpredictable and it’s more likely he won’t win gold than the others on my list so that’s why he is not on my list.

Obviously!

 

and 3,4,5???

Hard one.

 

But perhaps sailing, swimming and handball men’s team? 

 

Does Show Jumping counts as one or two events? I honestly think both team and individual have bigger  chances than those three.

      Snow and wind in Ruka this morning, so the scheduled Ski Jumping round was cancelled - good news is that they did manage a provisional round yesterday, so that's going to be used as the base for the race later this afternoon.     Nightmare for Ilves  who won in Norway last week - he starts in dead last place, down among the dead men in the Wave.    Viessmann FIS Nordic Combined Provisional Round Ruka (FIN)

      Interesting remark by the  Comms - apparently FIS have restructured their definitions of Cross Country wins, to reduce the impact of all those semi-wins in stage races with a start advantage, so Johaug is now put on 82 wins.   Obviously prompted by Shiffrin on 99....
