Just finished day 16, @rafalgorka curious to hear your thoughts on the predicted medalists and final medal table (for the most part) in terms of nations. 
 

Also, I read your reply to my last one, why don’t you like Amusan?

Athletics- Men’s 4x100m Relay

Gold-  United States

Silver-  Canada

Bronze-  Jamaica

 

IMO @rafalgorka I think you’re severely underestimating the Canadians, who won gold at last years Worlds, and bronze and silver at the Rio 2016/Tokyo 2020 Olympics with the same four (DeGrasse, Brown, Rodney, Blake) athletes. Sure, they failed to advance from prelims at this years Worlds, but that squad was without Andre DeGrasse (our star sprinter) who chose to focus on the men’s 200m final (that happened after) rather than the men’s 4x100m heats. Canada was in a qualification position until the last leg, where Bolade Ajomale (heats runner at best) was something like 0.5s behind the rest of the field (Maybe I’m exaggerating a bit, but you get my point )

 

Anyways, with Andre DeGrasse back in peak form (no recent 100m time to judge from, but a 19.76 at the DL Final shows he’s definitely back on track) after years plagued by injuries and covid, we should be one of the medal favourites.

No medal for reigning World champions United States’s Kelly Cheng/Sara Hughes (hopefully, I can’t stand Cheng) as they lose 1-2 in the quarterfinals to fellow teammates Kloth/Nuss.

Still unsure as to which weightclass Lukas Krjpalek (judo) will compete in at Paris. 

 

As for changes I’ve made, here’s a list:

 

Rugby Sevens- Men’s Tournament

Originally, it was Gold- New Zealand, Silver- Fiji, Bronze- Australia. Now, after the first two stops of the HSBC World Series, Gold- Australia, Silver- Argentina, Bronze- Fiji. 
 

Rugby Sevens- Women’s Tournament

Originally, it was Gold- New Zealand, Silver- Australia, Bronze- United States. Now, after the first two stops of the HSBC World Series, Gold- Australia, Silver- France, Bronze- New Zealand. 
 

Rowing- Men’s Double Sculls/Pair

Sinkovic brothers switched back to pairs for Paris, which has altered my medal predictions in both categories. 
 

For double sculls, originally it was Gold- Valentin Sinkovic/Martin Sinkovic, Silver- Melvin Twellaar/Stef Broenink, and Bronze- Aleix García/Rodrigo Conde. Now, it’s Gold- Melvin Twellaar/Stef Broenink, Silver- Aleix García/Rodrigo Conde, Bronze- Matteo Sartori/Luca Rambaldi. 
 

For pairs, originally it was Gold- Jaime Canalejo/Javier Garcia, Silver- Roman Röösli/Andrin Gulich, Bronze- Marius Cozmiuc/Sergiu Bejan. Now, it’s Gold- Valentin Sinkovic/Martin Sinkovic, Silver-  Jaime Canalejo/Javier García, Bronze- Roman Röösli/Andrin Gulich
 

Judo- Men’s +100kg

Took out Lukas Krpalek as I still have no clue on which weightclass he’ll be competing in. Cuba’s Andy Granda now has bronze. 
 

Table Tennis- Men’s Singles

Predicted Dario Jorgic to win bronze, now I’ve changed it to Lin Yun-Ju. 
 

Tennis- Women’s Doubles

Krejcikova/Siniakova aren’t partnered up together anymore, so changed it to Siniakova/Vondrousova (IMO the third best Czech women’s doubles player)

 

ignore: turboyev. 

 

BTW, later on I’ll also be doing a medal table/list of medalists by sport, and a list of medalists by country. This stuff takes a while to do (approximately spent around 30 hours doing these predictions) so if you could show some support it would be much appreciated. 

Another couple of changes in swimming, I now have Great Britain winning silver in men’s 4x100m freestyle relay (swimming), which bumps both Australia (now bronze) and Italy (out of a medal position) down. Probably gonna change women’s rugby sevens/women’s BMX freestyle/women’s C1/K1/men’s 100m and 200m butterfly predictions/men’s and women’s street/women’s freestyle wrestling too, only one bronze for New Zealand/no medal for China/same C1/K1 silver and bronze medalists/Milak on the podium/two repeat athletes on the podium for Japan/all Japan gold medalists all sound unlikely.

How does Bulgaria win a medal when they haven't qualified a team? 

My mistake. I had a wrong information in my notes. My respond is

1. China

2. Japan

3. USA

[Josh 5,983]

 Canada (10 G/6 S/10 B)

 

Day 1-  women’s 3m synchro platform (Pamela Ware/Mia Vallee- diving),  women’s 4x100m freestyle relay (swimming),  women’s 400m freestyle (Summer McIntosh- swimming)

Day 2-  women’s 100m butterfly (Maggie MacNeil- swimming)

Day 3-  women’s 400m individual medley (Summer McIntosh- swimming),   women’s 57kg (Christa Deguchi- judo)

Day 6-  men’s 100kg (Kyle Reyes- judo),  women’s 200m butterfly (Summer McIntosh- swimming)

Day 8-   men’s decathlon (Pierce LePage/Damian Warner- athletics),  women’s 200m individual medley (Summer McIntosh- swimming),   women’s eights (rowing)

Day 9-  men’s hammer throw (Ethan Katzberg- athletics),  women’s 4x100m medley relay (swimming)

Day 10-  women’s 3x3 basketball,  men’s floor (Felix Dolci- artistic gymnastics)

Day 11-  women’s hammer throw (Camryn Rogers)

Day 13-  women’s C2-500m (Katie Vincent/Sloan MacKenzie),  women’s 57kg (Skylar Park- taekwondo),  men’s 200m (Andre DeGrasse- athletics)

Day 14-  women’s C1-200m (Katie Vincent),  women’s beach volleyball (Melissa Humana-Parades/Brandie Wilkerson),  men’s 4x100m relay (athletics)

Day 15-  men’s 800m (Marco Arop- athletics),  women’s 75kg (Tammara Thibeault- boxing),  men’s breaking (Phil Wizard)

Day 16-  women’s 62kg (Karla Godinez)

 

From this you can see that apparently Canada’s 11th medal will be it’s first silver. Totally unlikely.

@Josh i didn’t have time for more detailed analyzis but it looks like our medal tables are quite similar to each other even if we predicted many events differently . Good!

[RussB 44]

Hi all - new to this site and very much enjoyed all of those predictions. I can speak specifically on the British hopes and I would say that I was very surprised to see Charlotte Dujardin not being predicted to medal in the individual dressage. Her recent tests on ImHoTop have been magnificent and she has been there done that multiple times at Olympics. The GB team will also include Charlotte Fry and I would be surprised if they did not claim Gold in the team event.

 

GB have strong teams in the rowing (this has really rebounded since disappointment of Tokyo) and swimming, and even cycling has strengthened in last 12 months. Very excited for the games! I'll be out there for all 3 weeks. Bring it on!
