Tokyo 2020 Day after Day as it could have happened

I am afraid we need to make 16 threads for 16 days because it will be hard to follow here ?

I hope we never witness the Olympics where everyone who is previously ranked 1st wins the gold medal.

Bradbury agree with you

Can you people use spoiler? Otherwise this is a nightmare.

It's easy to use, see?

Although former world champions winning Olympic gold is hardly something special  

[LDOG 2,418]

Doing every event is too much for me, I'll just leave my picks for team sports in one post and that will be it. Of course, I'm assuming that certain teams would have qualified in a bunch of sports. My predictions for 2021 would be pretty much the same except 3 or 4 positions across all sports I think. The changes would be mostly related to a high age average of some teams or some sports in which the squads can drastically change year to year (men's football and men's rugby mostly).

@Benolympique 2 strange predictions

 

1.Host advantage is not so important in weightlifting that Hirome Miyake can lift 10-12 more than her life time best as those from Indian, North Korean and Chinese lifters. Then also having china win a gold may not be expected because they wouldn't participate in this event with very less advantage over the North Korean lifter and the rule of 4 per gender effectively means 55, 64, 87, +87 will be the 4 weights. 

 

 

 

2. The shooting prediction is set to be wrong as Anjum despite Wch silver failed to qualify for 10mAR. She'll instead be in 50m3P. Her place will be taken by the current WNo 1 Elavenil as NRAI said it will not wait further to announce the team and do it according to the Domestic  Olympic rankings.

CORRECTION

 

I made mistake in my predictions for Day 4 Tuesday (event number 53)

On Day 4 there is Women's K1 event in canoe slalom, not Women's C1.

So my predictions for day 4 should be:

 

53. CANOE SLALOM – Women K1

 

1. AUS   Jessica Fox                                                    
2. SLO    Eva Tercelj

3.AUT    Corinna Kuhnle         

 

This mistake doesn't make much of the difference though, because I think Jessica Fox will get 2 gold medals in both K1 and C1, and Corinna Kuhnle will get 2 bronzes in both K1 and C1 as well.

So the only difference is silver in K1 for Slovenia and not for Germany,

 

The predictions for Women's C1 are in day 6, this is the right day for it.

India winning hockey bronze 

 

Most of the predictions in Indian media talks about 2 main types of

disciplines 

 

1.Precision sports

 

Not that we are expecting a medal in achery but 0-1 chances if we are lucky. Shooting anyway is.. 

 

 

2.Combat sports

Boxing and wrestling 

 

3.Weightlifting(Miscellaneous) 

 

Badminton has lost hopes.. We have a world champion who hasnt won anything after that. 1/10 prediction mention hockey that too a good performance. While women's hockey is going pretty well. But medals pretty much in above 3.
