Yeah I agree with you

 But double digits is not expected by anyone in India. 

And 34 (or something) they expect for the Netherlands is not expected by anyone in the Netherlands. 

 

And xx is not expected by anyone in xx. Etc :p

Clients for this bullshit even us in a forum can do (and better than them)?

Yes, for example by not acting as if every event only has three potential medalists (or four in certain sports).

those predictions about Japan...:roflmao:

 

12 Gold medals in Judo? it's not gonna happen even in their wet dreams...

 

and the same is for the Badminton sweep of golds...

 

then, no Seto medals in swimming nor men's artistic gymnastics success? c'mon, man!

 

and it's also a very random pick to have women's Street Skateboarding gold (which is not to be excluded, but it's not the most common preview) and not the women's Park one, which is almost impossible for them to lose...

 

 

p.s. not that the British predictions are reliable as well, but some of them will likely become true...

Apart from Men's Doubles, Japan will be favourite to win gold in the remaining 3 categories shown here. Kento Momota (WR 1) is in amazing form. Yamaguchi/Okuhara (WR 2 and 3) are also in top form and Tai (WR 1) has a bad record in big tournaments. In WD, Japan has 4 pairs in top 10. Even in MD, they have two pairs in top 5 so they winning gold is not ridiculous but Indonesians are favourite there. So, with home support, Japan winning 3 golds in Badminton is very likely.

I don't think China will just watch the home Nation to dominate...

 

Japan can have a lot of no. 1 seeded athletes, but the Chinese record at the Olympics speaks for them...even when they don't enter as the favourites, at least 2/3 gold medals fly to Beijing and surroundings...

 

I don't expect Japan to win more than 2 gold medals in Badminton...but, as always, this is just my opinion...and it counts as any other people in the world (so, basically nothing :lol::facepalm:)...

I think the IOC doesn't allow for very original designs for Summer Olympic medals (but apparently this is not a rule for Winter Olympics). I heard some rumors that the Rio 2016 first design tried to incorporate wood to the medals but wasn't allowed, which for better or worse led to a fairly basic final design.

 

But China managed to insert jade into the medals... Perhaps wood is going to anger environmentalists (and also not in term with Rio 2016 which was very concerned with climate change)

no, it's because wood is going to deteriorate with time, even if you treat it with some chemical products to try and keep it good through time...

Really unrealistic estimate for judo. I mean, 12 golds??? Not happened even in their golden years, with Tani and others.

    • Like @phelpssaid there's a huge chance MP gets axed from OG than re-inventing its soul. The obstacle part will never become 'the' soul of this sport (it's more suitable for X Games if anything). The laser part is odd enough already. The number of participant countries will shrink, nobody will build the eligible obstacle courses if there isn't mass interest. I'd be surprised if MP is still an Olympic sport beyond 2040.
    • Hey guys, I contribute Skeleton articles for a new winter-sports focused website called "All things Snow".   I was wondering if any of you could please spare a few moments to read my latest article on the World Cup finale in Altenberg a few weeks ago.   Any feedback on length, content, or just general tips will be greatly appreciated. I'll be sure to implement them in my Olympic Skeleton recap pieces. Thanks!   https://allthingssnow.net/2026/01/19/pfeifer-and-wyatt-win-the-finale-meylemans-and-weston-seal-crystal-globes/

    • changes that go absolutely against the Italians (notoriously the top swimmers and not the best shooters in MP) 😭😭😭   now it's really time to axe MP from the Games 😈🥳
    • I think there was a feeling before the obstacle course was introduced that really, really solid endurance runners were starting to dominate - in Triathlon you might call it the Alex Yee conundrum. Personally, I don't mind at all if the 'martial' elements are reemphasised as that is the real 'soul' of the sport - Triathlon, Marathon and Road cycing are there for genuine endurace, MP is in some senses a 'soldiery' test - one reason I thought Judo might have been a better addition than the obstacle course. But placing a higher emphasis on the fight bits over the flight bits seems a legitimate idea - though it should also increase the X-country nature of the run so that the test of a fresh shooter at the beginning is rather different from the test of a knackered one at the end. I quite like the artificial hill in rio.
    • Pro of being in America and having Sunday be the first day of the week...Olympics are this week!  
    • Guys, we are 3 days away!    3 more days until the moment we've all been waiting for, the Olympics. The same Olympics that not only has NHL players back for the first time since 2010 but more importantly the debut of our very own @brunamoura     Can't f*cking wait!
