Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024 Medal Predictions


Recommended Posts

My team sport predictions with tiers (I prefer doing it this way instead of just handing out G, S & B):

 

I'll put an * next to not already qualified teams (in some cases I'll be considering the chances of two teams that can't both qualify, eg. Slovenia and Greece in men's basketball).

 

These are tiers that grade the teams according to my perception of their chances to win a medal (ANY medal, not just gold). Though if I rate a team in the highest tier ("very likely to win a medal") it also means they're the main gold medal favorite for me.

If you see that a qualified team is not included in any tier then it means I believe the medal chances of that team are rather marginal.

 

I opted to skip 3x3 predictions cuz my knowledge is not deep enough (I follow the results but I'm not too aware about roster changes from tournament to tournament and such).

 

Tiers...

 

Tier 1 - Very Likely to win a medal

 

Tier 2 - Likely to win a medal

 

Tier 3 - In contention for a medal

 

Tier 4 - Outside chance of a medal

Good list, I would also add Canada as an outside chance in women’s football. 

Is there any event where you don't think Canada is an outside chance of a medal?

There’s hundreds of them. I could name them all, but that would take up way too much time. 
 

IMO Canada has medal chances in all sports except rhythmic gymnastics, sport climbing, canoe slalom, field hockey, volleyball, waterpolo, artistic swimming, badminton, table tennis, modern pentathlon, shooting and handball, triathlon. (I might be missing some, but these are the ones I can think of off the top of my head)

Gracenote's gold medal projections for :NZL 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

Comparing to our Latest World Championships Medal Count, France has 13 more gold medals, which could be explainable with the host country advantage. But GBR has 25 gold medals in our table and only 17 in Gracenote table, that's a huge gap :yikes:

What about neutral athletes from 🇷🇺 and 🇧🇾 ?

Gracenote took the decision not to include them in the analysis because they have been absent from international competition so they couldn't be factored into their model.

    • This might be the stupidest thing I’ve ever read and the complaints by Uhlander are ridiculous and unjustified just because the decision benefits Canada and not her and it’ll lessen her odds of making the Olympics    Since when are other countries supposed to look out for you? 
    • Incredible result for Teixeira and two olympic spots in the halfpipe. 
    • Europe are sending troops to greenland        France sends 15 soldiers, Germany 13.

    • add me in the list 🙋 no USA in any international event   Who will vote in this forum ? 
    • 23 british parliament have signed to ban USA from the next world cup and many international events     Now, 23 politicians from Labour, the Lib Dems, Green Party and Plaid Cymru have signed a motion, external in parliament, calling on international sporting bodies to consider expelling the US from major international competitions, including the World Cup.   https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c2051p7ej1vo
    • And again more winter sports in the leadup to the Olympics, also some AO, although time dependent    If Mboko makes it to the final in Adelaide, then I'll probably add it.    Jan 15 11:30am: Moguls WC Waterville   Jan 16 12:30am/2:15am: Skeleton WC Altenberg - Women's  10:30am: Dual Moguls WC Waterville 9:00pm: Snowboard Cross WC Dongbeiya   Jan 17 2:45am: PGS WC Bankso 4:20am: Freestyle Ski Slopestyle WC Laax 9:00pm: Snowboard Cross WC Dongbeiya   Jan 18 2:45am: PGS WC Bankso 4:30am: Snowboard Slopestyle WC Laax   Jan 20 1:30am/4:30am: Alpine Skiing GS WC Kronplatz

    • Podium finish in the men’s race for  Filippov. It is the first podium of the winter season for a neutral/Russian athlete.
    • that's basically last year's IA Division Worlds roster the only new name is Finoro so, the names might well be there
    • I will do my best to organise a pairs competition also involving nations from the 4 teams that are eliminated in the first half of the team competition along with the lowest ranked individual nations at the halfway point (end of session 2) to form 8 pairs. Pairs will be balanced so that the highest ranked nation in the competition will be paired with the lowest ranked nation, second highest with the second lowest and so on. All of that will be based on the individual ranking at the halfway point.   This way every nation will have at least interest in some event until the end of the 3rd session.   I will probably base it closely on @mrv86‘s proposed rules, and have sprints every 3 rounds of votes. The pairs with most medals from those 3 rounds get the points along with an extra bonus for medal and points doubles.   I do only have 1 day to organise this now so I can’t promise anything though.
