Josh 5,806 Posted December 4, 2022 #12 Share Posted December 4, 2022 (edited) For 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.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
