Paris 2024 - Very Early Predictions - Poll #6 - Judo - Women's -48kg; Judo - Men's -60kg; Fencing - Women's Epee Individual; Fencing - Men's Sabre Individual; Skateboarding - Men's Street

[rafalgorka 1,532]

Last poll of day 1 is done & dusted. Thanks for voting and for COMMENTING!!!

 

JUDO - W -48kg

 

1. Natsumi Tsunoda JPN

2. Shirine Boukli FRA

3. Julia Figueroa ESP (T)

3. Abiba Abuzhakynova KAZ (T)

 

No medal for Funa Tonaki JPN due to 1 athlete per NOC rule.

Silver for Boukli as "any other" option.

First medal for the hosts in our polls here.

 

JUDO - M -60kg

 

1. Naohisa Takato JPN

2. Yang Yung-wei TPE

3. Enkhtaivany Ariunbold MGL

3. Giorgi Sardalashvili GEO

 

FENCING - W Epee Individual

 

1. Rossella Fiamingo ITA

2. Marie-Florence Candassamy FRA (T)

3. Choi In-jeong KOR (T)

 

Second silver for FRA.

And first win for ITA.

 

FENCING - M Sabre Individual

 

1. Aron Szilagyi HUN

2. Maxime Pianfetti FRA

3. Colin Heathcock USA (T)

 

Third final in-a-row lost by FRA on day 1.

I think this is very unlikely.

I mean, if FRA athletes advance to 3 finals on day 1 in combat sports, I think at least one of them will win gold.

But it's also very possible that 3 medals for FRA on day 1 is too much, not gonna happen.

Bronze for the New Kid On The Block.

 

SKATEBOARDING - M Street

 

1. Gustavo Ribeiro POR (T)

2. Nyjah Huston USA (T)

3. Mauro Iglesias ARG (T)

 

So that's it for day 1,

that was fun.

 

No gold for FRA though

And no medal for POL...

But looking at this schedule I think any medal for POL on day 1 would be a bit surprise for me. Biggest chances: W Epee Individual and Shooting Rifle Mixed Team imo

 

Thanks again

I know it's too early to vote, but it's just for fun. A joke, you know.

@phelps first Italian gold for Rossella Fiamingo. What you think? I mean, I know it's too early to say, but anyway... possible???

 

@kungshamra71 first gold for POR. What you think? Is it possible? Is he known and popular in POR? Will he get Page 1 Photo if he wins this thing???

I seemed to have missed the poll, so let me do my predictions down below:

 

Women’s Judo -48kg:  Gold- Natsumi Tsunoda , Silver- Assunta Scutto , Bronze- Shirine Boulki  , Bronze- Julia Figueroa 

 

Men’s Judo -60kg: Gold- Naohisa Takato , Silver- Yeldos Smetov , Bronze- Yang Yung Wei , Bronze- Giorgi Sardalashvili 

 

Men’s Fencing Sabre Individual: Gold- Aron Szilagyi , Silver- Maxine Pianfetti , Bronze- Luigi Samele 

 

Women’s Fencing Epeé Individual: Gold- Rossella Fiamingo , Silver- Katrina Lehis , Bronze-  Marie-Florence Candassamy  (Another Hungary/Italy/France fencing podium, how unrealistic ) 

Probably would have Choi In-Jeong/Song Se-ra in the mix as well. 
 

 

Men’s Street Skateboarding: Gold-Nyjah Houston , Silver- Gustavo Ribeiro , Bronze- Kelvin Hoefler

not completely out of order, but I'd would be surprised if it actually happens.

I'm not even sure she's going to be among our 3 starters in that event.

 

p.s. if France don't make the podium (maybe even the gold medal) in men's Street Skateboarding I'd be really shocked.

Also, just noticed a mistake in the men’s street skateboarding poll. Ryan Decenzo is Canadian not American.

People here giving us a medal in skateboarding and I have literally no idea who that guy is or if he has achieved anything in his career 

[LDOG 2,418]

Btw is it not possible to vote 3/4 options per event?

It’s not possible. 
 

but if you want, you can vote for one athlete and write about other athletes in the comments. It will be very helpful when there is a tie in the voting.
