How Many Medals do You Expect from Your Nation at the Summer Olympic Games 2020? (2019 version)

[mrv86 3,176]

Between 0 and a reallocation in weightlifting in the future.

 

Longshot, a bronze in tae kwon do.

That's a real pessimistic guess, surely there is more?

No, it's not pessimistic is the hard reality of 6 years of poor planning and continuity followed by 6 months of even bigger robbery of the new "leftist" administration.

 

Just read my last post in the fencing thread... that poor girl was falsely accused of doping, then every tribunal and sports authority didn't back her claims, which were even supported by evidence from a lab in Germany.

 

The only representative in Congress that has raised his voice to question the recent scandals in our swimming fed has been threatened by FINA itself due to "interference" and the president is trying to split our best synchro pair.

 

Our "best" race walker was caught doping and their defense was all fabricated, and there isn't any other athlete that has real chances to medal.

 

Pro Clubs in the Mexican Football League couldn't bother to let the best U23 players to attend Pan Am Games, because they're more concerned with the box office of a secondary pityful tournament.

 

Tae Kwon Do federation is under the radar of the government because it has been fabricating receipts to cover their expenses.

 

Archery federation dismissed their Korean archers, and look at the disaster at World Championships.

 

So it's a bleak picture what lies ahead.

I am curious about Zanetti. Wasnt he favorite for gold before Rio? 

Expand  

Not really. He didn't even qualify for the rings final at the 2015 World Championships. Petrounias was on fire and he was the clear favorite for the gold medal in 2016. I hope neither Zanetti nor Petrounias win the gold medal in 2020, though. We have new specialists arising and it's important to have variety among the champions.

Gymnastics - Artistic - well it’s hard to predict, we have a chance if women’s team qualify, Iordache is back and with Golgota and our juniors Sfiringu and Stanciulescu we can make it. If we qualify i think we can win at least 1 medal if not I hope Iordache to have a great comeback.

No chance in hell. I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but a team medal is impossible (I strongly believe Romania will not even qualify a women's team).

Thanks.

I actually started to like Arturo in 2012 when he was flawless. His performance was something perfect. After that i watched WC and up until Rio, that was it.

Elefterios was perfect back in Rio, but before start i somehow hoped for another gold for Zanetti.

I like rings the most so i will observe it closely this time.

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