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


Recommended Posts

:GBR

Tom Pidcock - Mountain Biking

Equestrian - Eventing team

Rowing - Men's fours

Joe Choong - Modern pentathlon

Adam Peatty - Swimming

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.

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.

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
