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

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.

    • I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.
    • Abbagnale boasted that he had 80 per cent a few days before the vote (I still have the screen) and ran again as a result of a power deal. Not a great loss.   I have doubts about the new technical director though, you can't announce him during the congress, brandishing the scalp of the Abbagnale era technical staff (who then, were Crispi's men). Let's hope there are no rifts between the new staff and the athletes, it had to be handled better.
    • I was surprised by Abbagnale's defeat. I thought he was a sure of victory, since he decided to run - I read some source that he didn't know if he would start before Paris 2024. What do you think about it?

    • Cattaneo was good but his peak was in Tokyo 2021. Then there was such stabilization - stagnation. In Paris the result was in line with expectations but without the wow effect. They threw everything that was best into the quadruple sculls and it was enough for a only silver. Now without the lightweight sculls in LA I think that radical changes are needed to remain competitive. Previously there was a 3-year Olympic cycle due to Covid, so big changes weren`t good but now I think the time is right. Although of course more funds are needed for this sport in Italy, because even the best coach will not overcome this vel our men`s alpine skiing sector
    • @Gianlu33 we posted the same (great) news at the same time  
    • Davide Tizzano (1996 Olympic Champion, men's double sculls) is the new President of the Italian Federation, as he defeated the (now former) President Giuseppe Abbagnale by a very small margin (52% to 48%) in last week's federal elections   and he's already at work to make up for the last 8 disappointing years (at least in terms of Olympic success): his first move is bringing back home  Antonio Colamonaci  who made  great in the past 8 years   https://www.oasport.it/2024/11/canottaggio-cambia-la-direzione-tecnica-dellitalia-arriva-il-guru-che-ha-reso-grande-la-romania/   let's see if he can make  great again, now
