I will maybe post my full „analysis“ later, but here are my biggest „problems“ with your predictions:

Men:

400 IM: I don’t see Papastamos winning a medal. If you want to pick a young guy, you should rather go for Borodin.

400 free: Both Horton and Yang not winning a medal seems pretty unlikely.

4 x 100 free: I don’t see Australia winning a medal. I would pick Russia for silver and Brazil for bronze.

4 x 200 free: I think that GB will medal (instead of Russia)

100 breast: A medal for Prigoda seems extremely unlikely. I think Chupkov will win gold and then the other medals will be between the two Japanese guys, the two Australian guys and maybe Kamminga.

100 free: Gold for Scott seems very unlikely. I think it will be Dressel - Chalmers - Minakov/Morozov/Grinev/Scott/2nd American guy.

200 IM: Silver for Seliskar seems very unlikely, I doubt that he will even qualify. I think Scott/Larkin/Andrew/Hagino/Desplanches and maybe a couple other guys are all more likely to medal than Seliskar.

 

Women:

400 IM: I think Margalis will medal.

200 IM: I don’t see McKeown winning a medal or even competing, but who knows ...

My prediction would be Hosszu + Ye + Margalis/Japanese girl.

50 free: Wasick winning a medal would be a big surprise for me. I think Blume, Campbell and the Chinese girl are all more likely to medal (apart from Sjöstrom and Manuel).

The same as for swimming:

Men:

10000 m: No medal for Kiplimo/Kipruto?

High jump: Would be very surprised to see Starc winning a medal. I think Russia will win at least one medal.

Long jump: I don’t see Hashioka winning a medal. What about Henderson/Manyonga/Tentoglou? Did they retire/get caught?

200 m: Would be very surprised to see Odudoru winning a medal. Maybe De Grasse for bronze. Sani Brown winning a medal would be nice.

Triple jump: No medal for Claye?

Shot put: No medal for Kovacs?

400 m: I think Norman will medal.

5000 m: No medal for Kiplimo?

4 x 100 m: I don’t think that Jamaica will medal, I would go with Japan.

 

Women:

Discus: I would pick Caballero over Allman.

5000 m: No medal for the world record holder?

200 m: I think Miller-Uibo wins a medal if she competes.

3000 m SC: I don’t see Kiyeng winning a medal. Even Krause seems like a more likely option.

400 m: No medal for Naser?

1500 m: Ennaoui ...? I think that there are at least 10 girls who are more likely to medal than her.

10000 m: A medal for Japan would be one of the biggest surprises in Olympic history. Even if Kenya and Ethiopia would be banned, she wouldn’t be a favorite for a medal.

@OlympicsFan nice to read your opinions - I will defenitely think whether I should reconsider some of my predictions, when I have some free time again.

I don't think USA will be able to assemble that team for Tokyo   

  

Also, for our team there are missing some players that would 100% be in the list (it doesn't matter anyway, just pointing it out).
