Gaby Schloesser is still active in archerg and aiming for Paris 2024 as far as I know. Sadly Steve Wijler on the mens side hasn't had great resultd the past year I believe, so I'm not sure we can medal in mixed doubles again. That silver medal last year was really a great moment for them, they really made it a close contest versus Korea.

 

Also I hope you are right that both Smulders sisters are in the BMX final. Even if they don't medal that will just be a great moment for them.

[Noorderling29 121]

Well, Wijler finished 6th at the World Champs and 5th in the men’s team event in 2023 (9th in the mixed event). so not so bad. Schloesser was part of the women’s team that took a completely unexpected 4th place in the team event.

I think totally otherwise. Games so close, almost at the backyard. This is a huge advantage

Up until 12 months ago I would have agreed with @Orangehair43 but the improvement of British performances has been surprising lately.

ROWING - Women's Lightweight Double Scull

 

1.  Ireland

2.  Great Britain

3.  USA

 

This is quite possibly the boldest prediction I've seen so far - I think  Grant and Craig are unbeaten since Tokyo whilst the Irish pair finished 7th at the worlds.
