Its not guaranteed, especially if pole vault flops...

Didn't you also just win a medal in men's judo? I think you should also look at it this way: You're men are maybe subpar for a country like Canada, but your women are for sure way better than it would be expected from a country like Canada.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Which country did better than expected and the best impression?

Netherlands, Ireland, China and New Zeland.

 

way better than expected: Netherlands, China and Poland...

 

special award to GBR, qualifying 10 boats with all the injuries they had lately is something amazing in terms of depth of their program...

 

on the negative side: USA, Canada and Italy* above all, but somehow also France and South Africa...

 

*looking at the quality of results in the supposed stronger Olympic boats, because the non-Olympic boats did well as expected and tbh, the total number of qualified boats is beyond any expectation (especially on the women's side)...

but to me only the medals in the Olympic classes count...and here it's been a disaster...

France has been a lot more negative of Italy. It's not that two 4th place  can change the judgment from super positive, because with 4 medals in men boats it would have been super positive, to a disaster. We have qualified 9 boats, 4 in women, in Rio before repechage we qualified 1 women boat, the single scull after 16 years winning the only place behind 8 monsters(I underline 8 monster to say that in this boat no one is a lock medal). Now we can try to find a decent male double and try to qualify that boat, for the men 8 and 4 women I think there is no chance. There are 11 months to work on our 4 medal contenders boats and I hope and think that in Tokyo we'll win 3 medals, asking more I think is very, very, very difficult.

even with 4 silver/bronze medals the final outcome for Italy wouldn't have been super-positive...

 

aside of the usual good results in the LM2X, among the senior boats 12 months ago we had 1 Gold and 1 Silver for an inch or so...only going up to 2 Gold medals in those 2 events (quadruple Sculls and Fours) would have made the final outcome super-positive...

 

silver and bronze are just small consolations, MINOR medals...

 

I want and I expect those 2 boats to win the Gold medal next year, nothing less than that would satisfy me at all...

 

and I think that's time to stop pursuing phantoms...the Sinkovic are not beatable at all...just put Lodo & Vicino in the middle of the M4- and make it the best in the world, in order to reasonably aim at 3 medals (the LM2X and the 2 senior 4), but 2 of them really going for Gold...

 

the new M2- can be built with those coming off the Four and the Eight (in the qualifying regatta I'd pursuit only the Doubles quali, as we can get only 1 more boat per gender in any case)...

 

and god save us from stupid ideas like not leaving Martini on the single seat for the rest of his career (unless in the next few years we can find a newcomer way better than him already while being still a junior, with real growth perspective)...

I will always wonder why Italy did not compete in women's single scull and eight. I don't know if there were any qualification criteria/standards, but I'm sure we could have reached it. It is just a non-sense, to me.

We don't have the depth in women to build a competitive 8, for the single there isn't the culture of this boat in Italy, also in the man when we compete in that boat is usually a discard of all the other boats, Martini did a miracle today qualifying the boat in Tokyo.

    • The NFL are pushing had to develop flag football in Australia in hopes of getting it included in 2032. I hope they fail tbh.   Single gender sports fail the gender equality requirement so netball is out unless they can rapidly fix their gender problem. World Netball not so long ago was refusing utterly to sanction men's international netball or even support the growth of men's netball so they kind of sabotaged themselves and are only changing courses out of self interest because Brisbane was awarded the Olympics.   It doesn't even make sense to propose Aussie rules given how poor the participation is outside of Australia.
    • - Great Britain Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina   Ski Sports   Alpine Skiing  (4) - The qualification system is a bit confusing, but from what I gather the team is Guaranteed 2 quotas (one for each gender), and then more are given for rankings. I can only see 1 female qualifying, but the men's team is a bit stronger, and could improve with some juniors coming through. I would say a baseline of 3, with a max of 5, 6 if things really improve.  Cross Country Skiing  (3) - The men's team came 11th in the world cup last year, and with some good results could move up to top 10 which would give 3 quotas, The women's team is non existant.  Ski Jumping  (0) - Nope Nordic Combined  (0) - Nope Freestyle Skiing  (6) - Based on last year rankings, the athletes are ranked: M Moguls (26/30), M Ski Cross (26/32), M Halfpipe (33/25), M Slopestyle (39+40/30) W Moguls (23+42/30), W Halfpipe (3/25), W Big Air (5/30), W Slopestyle (19+22/30)  Barring Injury , thats 2 quotas on the women's side, and I would predict 4 more, with a max team of 7 or 8. Snowboarding  (2) - W Halfpipe (34/25) is the only unknown quota, as both Charlotte Bankes and Mia Brookes should qualify easily. Huw Nightlingale may get a spot for the Mixed Team snowboard cross but I don't know how it works. Biathlon  (0) - Nope Ski Mountaineering  (0) - Nope     Skating Sports   Speed Skating  (2) - Cornelius Kersten and Elia Smelding should qualify, although they both haven't competed this year. Short Track Speed Skating  (2) - A team of 5 went to the world but only a couple could really qualify Figure Skating  (4) - Fear and Gibson should qualify, and the pair team is ranked 16th in the world with 19 qualifiers.      Sleigh Sports   Luge  (0) - Nope Skeleton  (6) - A full team is certainly on the cards, but with only ranking points from the next season counting a lot could change Bobsleigh  (6) - Brad Hall and Co should qualify for both 2 and 4 man. I doubt any more will qualify from the mens side. Adele Nicholl on the womens should also qualify in both events     Team Sports   Curling  (12) - Anything but a full team would be a dissapointment Ice Hockey  (0) - The men were the only chance       Total Optimistic Prediction  -  (60) Total Pessimistic Prediction  - (32)   Total Realistic Prediction  -  (47)

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
