100 % handball

 

100% gold medal in handall? Both teams will certainly be contenders, but not necessarily favourites

Man, this is probably the only event I would without worries say that Slovakia can medal in Paris

I know, but I really want Frank to enjoy this last ride...he truly deserves the Olympic Gold for all he's done for our Country and the most likely most underestimated and less followed discipline of this fuckin' place.

 

hope Salkazanov would be happy with a silver or bronze this time...:p

I do believe he will be already happy with just finally qualifying to the freakin´ Olympics first :d but yeah, once there (hopefully) he will have also the luck and abilities to fullfil his  dream for which he came to Slovakia

Netherlands :NED has a lot of medal contenders, but unfortunately not many clear favourites for gold. 

Well, my top 5:

 

1. Rowing: women single sculls (Karolien Florijn)

2. Hockey: women's team

3. Hockey: men's team

4. BMX: women's race (Merel Smulders)

5. Swimming: women's 200 breaststroke (Tes Schouten) 

 

I predict a lot of silver and bronze, especially for our superstars in athletics (Femke Bol, who is without a chance against Sydney McLaughlin), in cycling track (Harrie Lavreysen will be without a chance against Mikhail Jakovlev) and in swimming (Arno Kamminga is without a chance against Adam Peaty). 

Speaking of purely gold medals Karolien Florijn and the two hockey teams are the only ones I could think of as well.

 

If we're talking just medals I'd say Harry Lavreysen (sprint and keirin) and Femke Bol (400mH) to complete the top 5. We'll surely win many other medals in rowing, (track/road/bmx) cycling, sailing and possible athletics, swimming and judo. But it's very hard to predict who will be the ones winning. Who knows Fem van Empel or Shirin van Anrooij might be serious contenders for road cycling gold by 2024, I hope so!

Sorry, if I forgot anyone.

:AUT Women's mountain biking - Mona Mitterwallner and Laura Stigger

:CHI Men's beach volleyball - Grimalt/Grimalt and Aravena/Droguett

 

Some contenders I can think of from countries we don't hear from often, though gold medals will be a big ask for all of these.

:BRA

 

Rayssa Leal - Women's Street Skateboarding

 

Rebeca Andrade - Artistic Gymnastic (pratically all events)

 

Alison dos Santos - Men's 400m Hurdles

 

Rafaela Silva - Judô

 

Isaquias Queiroz - Canoe Sprint

:URU best chance of a gold (or rather, medal of any kind) is clearly in rowing men's lightweight double sculls.

Duda/Ana Patricia in Beach volleyball are big gold contenders for you guys as well.

I highly doubt Chamizo has a realistic chance to win the gold even if Russian wrestlers don't participate. (either for Russia, ROC or even as a paid mercenary for another country) Kyle Dake is not going to lose to him or Salkazanov.

 

 I think Chamizo had his best chance to win the gold in 2016, but yes you never can write him off completely. in 2022 Worlds he could lose to Demirtas and Tsabalov but found a moment of magic to win both matches. that's always possible with him but with Dake you need to do that more than once.

    • I thought the only continental quotas applied in track cycling was for the individual events - the team events were purely based on the rankings list
    • keeps its perfect qualification record in women's curling    definitively gave them a lot of gifts today. For their sake hopefully they can draw better against the  tomorow.
    • Obviously impossible to know in advance but in 2022 all ten skaters Canada qualfiied skated individually, and 9/10 competed in a relay as well.
    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
