Today I am convinced we will get 10. Tomorrow I’ll be back to 6. 

Pretty much exactly the way my mind works. One day I think Canada will win 27 medals and 10 golds, the next 18 and 5 gold.

Italian biggest sports website (OA) full predictions

 

https://www.oasport.it/2024/07/olimpiadi-parigi-2024-il-medagliere-di-oa-sport-tutti-i-podi-italia-ottava-francia-terza/

 

once again, imho, :GBR:AUS:GER:KOR:CAN and maybe even :CHN:ITA and :NED have been underestimated, meanwhile :USA and, above all, :FRA have been clearly overestimated

This is the second prediction that I have seen with :FRA Mathilde Gros taking the gold in the individual sprint in track cycling. Whilst I do think the French team will benefit from home crowd advantage, I just can't see it helping Gros to that extent. She was 7th at the Worlds last year, 4th at this year's Europeans and although she did win the last Nations Cup, it was the weakest field in the series. 

 

What am I missing?

Hype from 2017 ?

 

TBH, she was a bit sick in 2023 and she had the second best time of the qualification in 2024. Personally, I'd b very satisfied if she ended up with a medal at Paris (sprint or keirin)

List of predictions for Italy, from the most to the least optimistic 

 

Fratellanza Olimpica (very active community on FB and YouTube)

 

17 gold and 56 medals

 

Italian Olympic comitee (CONI)

 

15 gold and 50 medals 

 

OA sport (main website about olympic sports)

 

12 gold and 46 medals

 

Gracenote

 

11 gold and 46 medals 

 

Anything under Tokyo's tally (10 gold and 40 medals) would be a failure. Anything over CONI's prediction (15/50) would be a big achievement.

 

Position wise, 5th in the final tally would be a success. Anything better a triumph. Being 10th or worse would be a disaster

Sports Illustrated predictions for every event

 

 

I don't have a sense of every sport to critique these predictions but I'm suspect about the climbing predictions.

Alexander Megos at combined bronze seems like the strangest prediction I've seen. The best he's ever done in this format is 7th? He's a world class lead climber but not anything special in bouldering compared to the other front runners. There's 5 other climbers I'd put in bronze.

Also strange not putting Sam Watson in the medal table for speed. He's a world record holder this year. Speed climbing is impossible to predict, but no one would question putting the record holder in the medal table. 

Predicting this is very hard, but if discrediting medal predictions is your cup of tea there is some evidence that they didn't do all the homework on this one.

    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
    • The worst editions in XXI century for us were Vancouver: 5 medals (only 1 gold for Razzoli's on the penultimate day) and Sochi: 8 medals (but no gold). Turin was already a prelude to this bad period, although the number of gold medals was ok. Overall we won fewer medals at home than in 2002 and this was probably the only case in the 21st century when the host country won fewer medals at home than 4 years earlier, either in summer or winter. In general the years 2008-2016 were very bad in our sport, both in summer and winter. Only 2018 in Korea was a slight rebuild + 2 fantastic summer editions in Tokyo and Paris. in Beijing 2022 we won a lot of medals - 17 but only 2 gold (If it weren't for Gogga's injury, I think it would have been 4 gold).
