I'd just like to make sure you're not one of those idiots who says race walking is 'nothing important'?  

 

swimming is at 10.30 a.m. = no race walking crossing...

 

but still, rowing, shooting, team sports, surfing, skateboarding, BMX freestyle, fencing, judo and taekwondo prelims...all of them crossing with it...

Ah, we have another wonderful schedule like Pyeongchang with 1-2 hours of (literally) nothing happening followed by hours with a dozen finals? Although for Summer Olympics there is the kind of valid excuse of there being way more different sports.

yeah, the main slots are 10 a.m. to 1.pm. and 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. where most of the finals are scheduled, but luckily at the Summer Games there's always something to watch...

 

the Pyeongchang empty hours are not to be repeated in Tokyo...

 

just to start making your calculation...

Seems to me a normal day at the Summer Olympics. Otherwise, they would be crossing with the Swimming heats.

Yeah, they also predict a Gold medal for Kristina Vogel in Track Cycling. And one for Jason Osbourne in Men's Singles Rowing, even though he is a lightweight Rower and therefore competes in pairs lightweight.

 

But I'd definitely take the German sweep in men's Javelin throw, though. Not sure, if Magnus Kirt would agree, however.

That's also 1 useless site, worser than grace note. They have predicted medals for Thailand in weightlifting which is practically not possible, also Japan winning table tennis team. Maybe Judo they were somewhat ok. For India just 4 medals and they don't make much sense (few world medallist are added that's it)

Looks like a bunch of South African sport federations have missed their deadline for agreeing to the selection criteria. Clearly they are upset from the strict rules set in 2016.

This other site is a joke. Plenty of mistakes, they put Petar Gorsa both under Croatian (real one) and Serbian flag.

They have given multiple medals to same country in weightlifting even though there is restriction of one lifter per NOC per weight.
