I am hopeful that Australia can do similar to Tokyo. For us to have a rio/london type performance our swimming team will need to choke extremely badly. Outside of swimming we always win a certain amount of gold. So far I’m feeling good but Olympics is a different ball game. It’s so exciting for sure. I am a bit concerned about rowing atm

Maybe it's not playing a factor like before, but it's interesting, if people are taking into consideration, that non-European countries do usually better in non-European Olympics. Vice-versa Europe is doing better, when it's in Europe and worse, when it's not. Of course in today's global sport, location, conditions, culture etc. don't have the same weight, but i still think there were comments 3 years ago how European athletes didn't acclimate good enough in Tokyo.

The Australian swim team is stronger now than in Tokyo.

Upcoming swimming trials for Australia and USA will be telling.

Looks like Australia gold is underrated too alongside China gold and Canada medals.

 

20 Roc gold frees up will help too. Those are probably my 3 favourites so far.

There’s for sure areas where we are weaker than Tokyo in swimming tho. 
Woman’s 50f (sjostrom)

zsc in the 200 (that Chinese dude)

and the woman’s medley are 3 events to which I think we will struggle to defend our golds. But then there a similar amount as you mentioned where we have a better chance so it basically evens out. It will be interesting for sure

The Womens 50m Free evens out with the Mens 50m Free

Both Sjostrom and McEvoy will need to be well below their best to. lose

The Medley Relay is countered by the Womens 4 x200M Free relay

and ZSC evens out with Sam Short in both the 400m/800m especially without the Tunisian.

I wouldnt write off the Womens medley anyway.

The key is Breastroke and we only need one of our main swimmers to be sub 1.06 

Hodges and Strauch have been there and there are other options including Kaylee especially if MOC swims a Sub 58 back.

how will it happen if the medals are deducted from the medal ranking?
