Usually 7-8 golds are enough for top 10 in the medal table, but with Russia having almost no participation, the threshold could rise to 10 golds. 

Perhaps, but there's a considerable drop from the top 9. The tenth rank nation could have 10+ fewer total medals than the 9th rank. Unless they get lucky with golds they will struggle to break double digits.

My bad!! Tony Roberts. Climber

 

Yeah I wouldn't have got that any time soon - and unfortunately now all I keep hearing in my mind is the guy from Only Fools and Horses shouting "Gary!" (That reference will mean nothing to a lot of international posters)

@Rafa Maciel Do you know where to find the specific medal breakdown?

I remember that for the previous Olympics it was possible to see the details of the medals for each discipline so idk why now, gracenote doesnt publish it...

Was so distracted by random boxing federation Facebook pages that I missed the latest update to the Gracenote prediction.

 

 Nielsen's Gracenote Virtual Medal Table - February 2024 

 

 

 

NOC	Gold	Silver	Bronze	Total	Change Since Last Release
	37	37	47	121	Drops 8 medals in total with 9 fewer silver medals being offset by 1 additional bronze. At 121, this is the lowest number of medals projected since the table was initiated.
	37	28	22	85	No change in the total number of medals but it does include 2 additional gold medals.
	27	14	11	52	Down 1 medal overall but Gold increase by 1
	17	9	13	39	An increase of 4 medals in total including 1 gold and 3 Bronze medals. Sees NED moving up to 4th in the table from 6th last month.
	16	24	25	65	Up 1 medal overall but total number of Gold drops by 1 which is offset by 2 additional Silver medals.
	15	17	24	53	Drops 3 medals overall as few bronze medals are won. 2 Golds are downgraded to Silver.
	14	16	17	47	No change in the overall number of medals but team projected to win 1 additional Gold and 4 Silver.
	9	15	19	43	Gains 4 medals in total but 1 Gold is downgraded to Silver.
	9	2	7	18	Small overall volume (would be ranked 13th by volume) moves into the top 10 by virtue of the fact that half of their projected medals are Gold
	8	21	17	46	The biggest shift in the projection this month - although the overall total is down just 2, It's 7 fewer Golds with 4 downgraded to Silver.

 

Huge caveat here - I think it is safe to assume that the projection has been heavily impacted by the results of the Doha World Aquatic Championships hence the big drop in the  Gold volume which is unlikely to be the case when we get to Paris.

At the moment i think Brazil gonna win onle one or two Gold medals, our chance. We have a lot of good shots for medals, but no one of them (maybe surdina?) looks favourite for a Gold medal.

is only projected to finish with 4 golds and 20 total, but I’m assuming it’s also because of the inflated results of the Doha World Aquatic Championships.

Gracenote's gold medal projections for  seem uncontroversial (although the keirin is always a bit of a lottery):

 

Men's Rugby 7's Team

Women's Rugby 7's Team

Women's Keirin: Ellesse Andrews

Canoe Sprint - Women's K1 500m: Lisa Carrington

 

 

I doubt the NZ Mens 7s team will be winning gold or even medalling. But I can however see Lisa Carrington contributing to 3 gold medals however.

I'd be surprised if they didn't medal - they won 5 of the HSBC 7's events in the '22/'23 season (which I assume was the results used for Gracenote's prediction). Granted their form hasn't been as dominant this season, but they have still managed to medal in 2 out of the 5 rounds so far.

I agree but I hope for at least 4 gold medals, which would be better than the 3 of 2008/2012. No way we can repeat the 7 golds of 2016/2020.

 

Don't know what names/teams Gracenote is predicting for gold but maybe they were considering another one in Football which won't happen since the team didn't even qualify. Rebeca will only win a gold if Biles somehow fails in Vault. Isaquias, Ana Marcela, Martine/Kahena are not as regular as before and probably will contend for bronze. I guess Beach Volleyball/Surfing/Skateboarding are our best chances but nothing too sure. Maybe another surprising gold in Boxing or even Judo?
