Name the 5 biggest gold medal hopes for your country in Olympic Games Paris 2024


 Share

Recommended Posts

For :CAN I would say:

 

1. Swimming- Women’s 400IM (Summer McIntosh)

2. Breaking- BBoys (Phil Wizard)

3. Basketball- Women’s 3X3

4. Boxing- Tammara Thibeault (75kg)

5. Swimming- Women’s 400m Freestyle (Summer McIntosh)

 

Eleanor Harvey is another one of the gold medal contenders, but with Lee Kiefer and Alice Volpi contending, not too sure she’s as big of a favorite as them. 
 

Edit: Men’s Decathlon is a special mention, with LePage just winning silver at this years World Athletics Championship, but then of course we also have the 2020 Olympic Champion Damian Warner. I’m just wondering since he was injured how will he recover from it, and so that is why I’m predicting Kevin Mayer to win gold. Plus, home crowd helps.

(early thoughts)

 

1. ATHLETICS - Men's Hammer Throw

2. TENNIS - Women's Singles

3. SPORTS CLIMBING - Women's Speed

4. VOLLEYBALL - Men's

5. CANOE SPRINT - Women's K4 500m

ATHLETICS - Women's Hammer Throw

 

well, it would be my nr 6 or 7

 

but I didn't actually believe in her before Tokyo so I hope I am wrong here as well

 

I think she has strong :USA contenders now

and some health issues

 

btw, do you know she used to train a lot in Doha and she was always saying she liked it there, more than US

1) I think McIntosh is a bigger favorite in the 200 fly than in the 400 free.

2) I think that Guo might be a bigger medal contender than Harvey.

3) I think men's decathlon deserves a mention.

4) If the US for some reason doesn't send their best men's basketball team and Canada does send its best team, then they will be the clear favorit.

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

2) At the moment Guo is not a bigger medal contender than Harvey, Guo is 10th in the World Rankings, Harvey is 3rd. 


3) You’re absolutely right, I’m just worried about how Mayer will do. 

 

4) Why the hell would the US not send their best men’s basketball team? And before Canada, I would put both France, and Australia above them in odds, maybe even Spain as they didn’t even qualify for the Olympics last year, with a squad full of NBA talent.
