They are: Can see a couple of these winning their first medals this week. If Zharnel Hughes hadn't switched allegiances, he'd be one of the favourites in the sprints and a first medal for . Same for Rai Benjamin for in the 400m hurdles, although they may also have an outside chance with Cejhae Greene in the sprints. have a possible medal in the beach volleyball, although would probably need to slip up. might have a chance with favourable draws in the boxing or wrestling, albeit unlikely. Aside from that, I can't really see any possibilities thiago_simoes and Cinnamon Bun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Bun 472 Posted July 27, 2022 #352 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Trains are on strike this week in UK, will affect a lot of people travelling to Birmingham for the games so attendance will be hit massively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really needs to be a rule that a medal can't be awarded unless you defeat someone. In 2018 got a free bronze medal in the women's flyweight.

Fly_like_a_don 1,031 Posted July 28, 2022 #360 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Massive massive opportunity for to win it's 1st ever medal in Mens Heavy weight. It'll be a V QF. Niue have a medal at the pacific games from the same category albeit with a different boxer. Cook Islands didn't win any boxing medal last time. Their sending a 18 year old here so don't know if he's really good or is it just a exposure trip. Either way in worst case Cook island will match their 2018 tally but should not be suprising to see Niue win their first medal ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
