Dkats 15 Posted May 12 #203 Share Posted May 12 (edited) 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 Edited May 12 by Dkats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Federer91 2,212 Posted May 12 #204 Share Posted May 12 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.

Upcoming swimming trials for Australia and USA will be telling. As for the overall team as it stands now,I would say we could exceed expectations with huge GOLD chances in the below events Mens Swimming 50m Free 100m Free 400m Free 800m Free 200m Breastroke Mens 4x 100m Free Womens Swimming 100m Free 200m Free 400m Free 100m Backstroke 200m Backstroke 200m IM Womens 4 x 100m Free Womens 4 x 200m Free 10km Diving 10m Platform- Mens Athletics High Jump -Womens Pole Vault - Womens Rowing Pairs -Womens Eights -Mens Cycling BMX Park Freestyle -Mens BMX Racing -Womens Sailing ICLA Laser -Mens Slalom Canoeing C1 - Rowing C1X Plus another stack of medal chances in Swimming Basketball Athletics Field Hockey Track Cycling Surfing Sprint Canoeing Dkats 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngyojiw 3 Posted May 12 #207 Share Posted May 12 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
