day #7...

 

my personal highlights are surely Fencing (men's Epee, maybe the only solid medal chance for Italy in the whole day), Slalom Canoeing (an outside medal chance, here...but we would need a lot of luck), Archery, Shooting, Judo, Swimming and Rowing...

 

also interesting ( = not to be missed) are BMX Racing (tbh, I hope to see someone not from NED and/or FRA on top of the podiums), Table Tennis and of course the first Athletics events...

 

here many of you might disagree, but I do really hope not to see at all people like Farah, Hassan and the many more NOP cheaters...hoping that they will be banned before the start of the Games and not having to wait many years and a few re-tests to have their results cancelled...:bones:

Friday Day 14   I would defenitely watch athletics - whole evening session is very interesting for me. W 1500 (with Sofia Ennaoui?), W Javelin (Maria Andrejczyk?) and 4x100 relays above all.

Day 8, SuperSaturday, they say. 

 

For me it's all about swimming and athletics obviously. Men's 100 fly and Women's 100 dash would be the highlights of the day. 

 

And tennis - women's singles final. 

 

Besides that, maybe judo team finals, football quarters, basketball and beach volleyball. Maybe I will listen to your advice and try some archery, too. 

 

From Polish perspective : I hope there will be a medal in sailing - men's RS:X - Piotr Myszka was 4th in Rio - maybe he can advance one place.

Super Saturday!

 

Not many Dutch athletes today, but still a lot of nice sports to choose from. The swimming finals, including the 4x100 mixed relay. I know many people here hate this part of the competition, but I like this mixedevent. First sailing medals, hopefully one for Kiran Badloe in the RSX men. 

 

Day 8 highlights the series of the 400m hurdles with our young talent Femke Bol, hopefully she can join the strong American competition in this event. 

 

And last but not least I join @rafalgorka watching the archery finals :p

super-Saturday, they call it...but to me, it's not so super...

 

however, from my personal perspective, not to be missed: Swimming (women's 200m Backstroke and 800m Free especially, because of Italian medal chances), Athletics (men's Discus and above all, women's 100m), Fencing (women's Team Sabre, maybe a new medal chance for Italy), Shooting (the "new" Trap Mixed Team event and the women's 3-position Rifle...the first one also with potential medal chances for us), Archery (men's Individual...definitely with Italian medal chances) and RS:X finals in Sailing (once again, an event where we expect our guys to do well)...

 

a bit behind those events named above, it's "moving day" in the men's Golf tournament, the Mixed Relay in Triathlon, the Badminton final of the day...and everything else happening "today"...:lol:

@CCB Who is that lady on your profile picture? I don't know who to support :-) 

It's our best handball player: Estavana Polman, voted as the MVP of the last WCh and wife of the more or less known Dutch football star Rafael van der Vaart. 

 

Coincidentally you ask that. This morning I read she yesterday has been seriously injured, she has torn her cruciate ligament. Very sad to hear, first of all for herself, but also for the Dutch team, which is nowhere without her. Predicted recovery time is longer than a year. Olympic Games at risk. So you probably can't support her next year :(

What a terrible news. I wish her very speedy recovery. And all the best for Netherlands handball team in Tokyo. And in Paris!!! I had some early plans to see Paris olympics on my own eyes, not on the couch in front of tv, but now with this virus I begin to worry not only about Tokyo, but also Beijing and Paris :-(

 

BTW, I like her surname. POLMAN. I should have had nick like this here heh. 

 

And I remember van der Vaart. So maybe Rafael POLMAN :-)

      The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.

      The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.

      The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR

      That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.

      How Many Medals do You Expect from Your Nation at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026？

      By JockCartier · Posted

      I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird

Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ?

      The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.
