Well, yeah the hardest part is to qualify for Olympics but I have faith. Golgota, Crisan, Holbura, Ghiciuc, Iordache, Cimpian, Puiu can make it

 

Qualifying a team is definitely not impossible, but very unlikely. It will mostly depend on how Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Brazil, Italy and Japan perform. I would say that at least two of these teams need to have a huge breakdown, and Romania must have a good day, in order for them to qualify. This is, like, a 5% chance. Of course Romania can always surprise, but I'm very skeptical.

Great predictions for the Netherlands really. I would only add the women's football team as a medal contender. There's also some outside chances for volleyball (w), handball (w) and 3x3 basketball (m). Might be one of the surprise medals, those are always the greatest Olympic moments!

Well, volleyball (w) would already be a surprise when they qualify for the Olympics. Italy and Turkey are way better at the moment, so personally I don't think it's gonna happen, but hopefully I'm wrong.

Gianlu, you forget Karate (3-4 medals), Skateboarding (1 medal), Basket 3x3 (0/1 medal).
I think that 40 medals are possible, but qualifyng cycle is not so good. 
We have out some possible medals (man football), and other possible gold medals in trouble (archery, euqestrian, shhooting).

I indeed missed Gymnastics in my list. When going through the different sports I simply overlooked it. I do think one or two medals are possible.

 

I added Golf because I generally think that everything is possible in Golf.

 

And IMO it's highly doubtful that Zverev will even play at the Olympics, much less win a medal.

 

In general, I added the number of medals that are IMO realistically possible. Sure, it could be more in some events, but that seems highly unlikely to me. German Shooters were way too bad so far in qualification to add more medal chances.

Turns out you were too negative about german medal chances in swimming ... :p

Germany won 4 medals and it very well could have been 8 (Men's 800 free, men's 200 IM, women's 200 fly, women's 800 free). Let's see what the athletics world championships will bring. Of course it doesn't help that so many athletes are either injured or out of shape (Heß, Freimuth, Przybylko, Harting, Storl, Dutkiewicz, Gierisch).

Maybe this doesn't belong in this thread, but i think it would be interesting to hear what other people think about which nation will make the biggest improvements compared to 2016 (if we only take events into consideration that were already contested in 2016)? My money is on Japan (obviously), the Netherlands, Australia, Italy and India.

For Poland OG in Tokyo will be the best in XXI century. 

We have really strongs athletes - Anita Włodarczyk, Paweł Fajdek, Wojciech Nowicki, Malwina Kopron, Michał Haratyk, Piotr Lisek, Adam Kszczot, Marcin Lewandowski and 4x400 m women - 10 medals

In sprint canoe - C1 1000 m men (Kaczor) + Walczykiewicz (K1 200 m) + K2 500 m and K4 500 m + maybe Borowska in C1 200 m - 4 oraz 5 medals

In rowing - W4x, M4x, M2x and M4- - 4 medals

6-12 with 8-9 seeming like the most likely.

Sailing, Kayak, cycling (road, track and BMX), swimming, handball, shooting, golf, badminton seems like the most likely sports.

Some small shots in archery, equestrian and MTB,

10 medals in athletics? Absolutely don't see that happening. 5-6 medals seems realistic. 2 x men's hammer throw, women's hammer throw, men's pole vault + 2 out of shot put (Walsh, the american guy, Romani are all bigger favorites)/women's hammer throw (the chinese girls, the american girls and Tavernier are all bigger favorites for silver/bronze)/men's 800 (super competitive)/men's 1500 (super competitive)/women's 4 x 400 (USA and Jamaica should be clearly better and GB is pretty much on the same level). 4 medals in rowing also seems rather optimistic, but who knows ... ? Why didn't you mention volleyball, shooting, wrestling or track cycling?

    • We must ask our Austrian users if they cheered for him. But do we have any Austrian users LOL?
    • It's just that Austria had a lot of skiers in that time and we don't have any others among the young ones now.
    • Marco Girardelli went to Luxembourg one day and he had a great career. I doubt he did regret that move.

    • You know, but we still don't know what that was about. Ceccarelli has a difficult character but still changing colors to a country with which you have absolute no connetions? What would you say if Iga Swiatek fell out with the Polish tennis federation and started playing for Luxembourg or Andorra? Certainly not everyone would decide to take such a step, even if they had to give in a little in talks with the federation.    Another thing is that the Italian training system simply doesn`t work. As you can see, there are talents but we don`t know how to train them. Since the golden generation born in 1990-1995 (Brignone, Bassino, Goggia) we haven`t trained anyone who would stand on the podium in giant slalom or slalom in World Cup. So something is wrong. At the beginning of the 21st century we had a large group of good athletes in giant slalom (maybe not at Brignone's level): Karbon, Moelgg, Putzer, Gius, etc., who were able to win World Cups, win World Championship medals, etc. Now we have no one. In women's giant slalom for example: if Brignone and Bassino are gone, even getting to the first 20 in World Cup will be a problem for us.
    • I remember that Lara Gut's family also had a conflict with the Swiss federation at the beginning of her career around 2008/2009 but it was resolved. I remember that the family also wanted to have a greater influence on their daughter's career. It was probably similar here. If there was a will from both sides, an agreement should have been reached. Especially since Colturi has zero ties with Albania. Sinner could have played for Austria sooner, as a person from South Tyrol.
    • Berrettini defeated Kokkinakis in 3 set   And now, it's Sinner time.
    • Well, it was to be expected that Colturi was going to have a breakout result like that sooner or later and the state of Italian alpine skiing will create some very long faces. But hey, if Italy  let their "best" prospect walk because of money then it's their fault. If there was some personal feud between Ceccarelli & federation it's even worse.
