Any day (0-2 medals)

Surprise medals: preferrably Niels Laros (M 1500m) and W handball or volleyball team (what can I say, the more surprising the better)

 

Total prediction (19-47 medals)

+/- 10 golds

+/- 11 silvers

+/- 12 bronze

 

I feel like the day-by-day version made the numbers too optimistic. Some names I'm thinking more like 'one out of these 4 judoka's will probably win a medal', but it shows as a medal chances on 4 days, instead of just 1 expected medal.

Overall I'm a bit more optimistic than the 25 medals I predicted last time, I'll say 30 medals this time!

2 medals for Corbeau seems borderline insane. I think 2 medals in the 4 breaststroke events seems realistic. The only medal favorite is Schouten in the 200 breast and even she could very well end up without a medal (Chikunova (if she competes after all), Schoenmaker, Douglass).

I think that: Italy, The Netherlands and Germany will be close to each other on medal table, just like in Tokio 2021. On the other hand, France will get a much better result because of being the host team.

1) Depends on how you sort the medal table.

2) Depends on what you mean with „close“.

Approaching 100 days to go, my predictions for
Day 1

20:55: Swimming - Women’s 400m Freestyle Final - Summer McIntosh (Silver)

21:37: Swimming - Women’s 4x100m Freestyle Relay Final - (Bronze)

Bronze in the women’s 200m freestyle if she chooses to do the double. She’ll have almost an hour and a half between both so it seems doable (but she’s also probably going to be swimming a rigorous schedule so maybe she’ll skip it)

17:49-18:09: Judo - Women’s 63kg - Catherine Beauchemin Pinard (Silver)

20:57: Swimming - Women’s 100m Backstroke - Kylie Masse (Bronze)

Left off some other medal chances, think at least one other name/team that I haven’t mentioned will make the podium. Still very optimistic with this prediction considering our best ever result is 24 medals at Tokyo (I picked 30 events for Canada to win medals in) but we have a talent in McIntosh now. 

10 medals in swimming?

 

Masse: She isn’t a medal favorite (behind Smith, McKeown and the 2nd American), but we will see.

Women‘s 400 free relay: They aren’t a medal favorite (behind Australia, USA and China), but we will see.

 

Kharun: I see at least Milak, Marchand and Honda ahead of him, but he might end up on the podium.

Liendo: He could win gold or end up without a medal. Dressel, Milak, Ponti, Grousset and Temple are all at least as

likely as him to win a medal.

 

Women‘s medley relay: Australia and the U.S. are pretty much a lock for gold and silver. Canada should battle with China for bronze.

 

4 medals (Women‘s 400 free, women’s 100/200 fly and women’s 400 IM) should be the minimum. 7 or 8 medals seem like a realistic goal.

Masse: Not right now, no, but her early season times are very promising (58.93/58:80 in the 100m backstroke, along with 27.23 in the 50m backstroke and 2:08.44 in the 200m backstroke) for someone who usually only swims at her best during the big meets. Wouldn’t be surprised to see her put up a 58 low (or 57 low) at Trials/the Olympics after struggling with her form in the last couple of years. 
 

Women’s 4x100m Freestyle Relay: True, but they’re in contention. Let’s see what happens at the Canadian Olympic Trials though. 
 

Women’s 4x100m Medley Relay: United States is the favourite, but please explain to me how Australia is a lock for gold. Unless they find a breaststroker between now and Paris, they might even come under pressure for silver by Canada (quite unlikely, but it’s possible if Angus/LePage/Branton are in 1:05 low form and McKeown is on the breaststroke leg splitting 1:07). We have improved on our breaststroke leg, and Taylor Ruck has had a career resurgence which gives us a good freestyle leg. That along with a good butterfly leg (Maggie MacNeil) and a good backstroke leg (Masse) puts us above China IMO. All legs are close except backstroke (I’d say breaststroke and maybe freestyle have the advantage for China right now), which should separate the two.

I said that Australia and the U.S. are a lock for gold and silver (not in that order). USA is the favorite for gold. 
 

1) Australia is clearly faster than Canada (combined almost 2 seconds) on backstroke and freestyle, about equal on butterfly and at most a second behind on breaststroke.

2) Please look up the Chinese breaststroke leg …

China is about equal on butterfly, clearly faster on breaststroke, about equal on freestyle and maybe (half) a second slower on backstroke. Right now there is absolutely no basis to say that the breaststroke leg is close. At the moment it looks like a coin toss. Canada is definitely much closer to China than to Australia.

My mistake then, I misread that part of it. 
 

1. Agree about Australia being clearly faster on the freestyle leg, and equal on the butterfly leg. For backstroke, it depends on what time Masse can produce at Trials but if she’s in 58 low form around half a second. For breaststroke, it depends again on what times Branton/Angus/LePage/Wog can produce. 1:05 mid combined with a 1:07 low from McKeown (assuming she swims the breaststroke leg for Australia) and MacNeil outsplitting McKeon by a couple of tenths could be enough to get it done. Wouldn’t bet on it happening though.
 

2. Ok true, maybe I forgot about Tang who was 1:05.29 at this years Worlds, but with the rapid improvement that our breaststrokers have been on I’m thinking they’ll close the gap to within a few tenths. Plus they’ve been putting some decent times recently while not being fully tapered? My prediction is also under the assumption that Masse will be back at her best come Trials and eventually the Olympics (as indicated by her early season times), and Masse is a way faster backstroker (more than half a second faster) than Letian/Xueer if they’re all swimming near their best.

That would be great but I think it's a bit on the optimistic side (especially Judo, Gymnastics and Boxing). I think Brazil will have a similar performance to London 2012.
