Recommended Posts

very good medal chances (disappointing if they don't get anything from here)

 

Cycling: Van Aert, Evenepoel, Kopecky, De Ketele and friends (both Road races, men's ITT on the road, women's Omnium and men's Madison on the track)

 

Field Hockey: men's Team

 

Athletics: Nafi Thiam (women's Eptathlon)

 

Judo: Matthias Casse (men's -81kg)

 

Sailing: Emma Plasschaert (women's ILCA 6)

 

reasonable medal chances (might get a medal, but might also miss out)

 

Equestrian: Show Jumping Team

 

Athletics: men's 4*400m Relay

 

Judo: Jorre Varstraeten (men's -60kg) 

 

Fencing: Nasser Loyola (men's individual Epee, if he can qualify...and it's a big "if" given the FIE rules for the Nations not qualifying for the team event)

 

remote medal chances (if they get something here, we can call it a surprise)

 

Equestrian: any Individual member of the Show Jumping Team

 

Athletics: Noor Vids (women's Eptathlon), women's 4*400m Relay, Bashir Abdi (men's Marathon), Cynthia Bolingo (women's 400m)

 

Taekwondo: Sirine Chaari (women's -67kg)

 

Judo: Sami Chouchi (men's -90kg, if can qualify after switching weight class), Toma Nikiforov (men's -100kg), Gabriella Willems (women's -70kg)

 

Canoeing: women's K2

 

Rowing: men's LW2X

 

Triathlon: Jelle Geens, Marten Van Riel (men's individual race)

Don't forget the women's field hockeyteam. After Netherlands the best in the world in my opinion.

 

And the Belgian women's basketball team has a good chance to medal as well. 

 

But the best chances for gold are Kopecky (3x), Evenepoel and Van Aert (2x), Casse and Thiam. But I won't be surprised if they get 10 gold medals.

Noor Vidts: if she could not win a medal in Budapest in a weak competion, she’s never going to do it at World level.
There’s a big question mark about Thiam’s return. But even then, Anna Hall must be the favorite for Gold.
The Rowing LWX2 did not make it to final of the World Champs, and failed to win a quotum.

The 4x400 relay Men narrowly failed to qualify for the final in Budapest: time really seems to be up for the incredible Borlee twins and Belgium has failed to find comparable replacements. The women finished 5th, and that was in a race without the Americans. 
Of the five Judoka’s mentioned, only one won a medal at this years World Champs.

Kopecky winning 3 golds?: next year’s Road race is far less ideal for her than the one in Glasgow, she’s really not the favorite for the time trial, and her chances in the Madison are heavily influenced by if the doping suspension of her partner will stand or not.

Hockey: the women are just as capable as sucker punching the Dutch in the final as finishing 7th. Also, they haven’t always been lucky in qualifying. The men failed  to win their last two tournaments, and are in a bit of transition, with some of their older players retiring or not being selected.

show jumping really is completely unpredictable. In Tokyo Belgium won bronze in the team event on the back of the refusal of one the French horses (IIRC).

 

Belgium certainly has a lot of opportunities, but I once read somewhere for most teams only 1/3 of those,come to fruition.

    • Vast majority of Americans will disagree with you. That's all that counts. I dont see many differences in so called fascism between democrats and republicans. Both were bombing any country they picked, both were ruining systems they wanted to.  I prefer reds more because they are at least honest about it. Also, i dont like what this ultraliberalism brought to our whole Earth. Whoever opposes this level of insanity will have my vote.  
    • YEC Semi-Finals are set:   Aryna Sabalenka vs Cori Gauff Barbora Krejcikova vs Zheng Qinwen   Krecikova beating Gauff in two sets means Iga Świątek was eliminated with 2-1 record. Sabalenka clinched Year-End #1 after winning the first two matches and Świątek not winning all three RR matches before already.
    • He is fascist. Even use the same narration like famous german/Austrian painter.

    • I remember a couple of years during the athletics worlds in Oregon one of the British athletes wasn’t able to enter the US due to visa issues. I feel like something similar will happen in LA, and I don’t envisage Trump succumbing to an appeal to let an unfortunate athlete in.
    • thats true. If anyone observes the US election map then he can see that Harris dominated in NorthEast states and the Eastern Coast, exactly where the big economic centres are based (New York, New Jersey, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco etc).   Also what i observe regarding politics in western europe is that Socialdemocratic/centre-left parties have become extremely pro-market and even neo-liberal and some traditional right parties have become euroscepticist and protectionist, exactly the opposite as it was in 70s-80s
    • How about this?   "2026 Winter Olympics Cancelled after USA Withdraw After US President is Banned From Italy Due To His Criminal Convictions"  
    • Yeah, Trump is very pro-Olympics. I imagine he's pretty excited that he will get to open the games   Visas for some nations have always been tough and I do imagine some qualified individuals will fail to enter the United States (regardless who is President), but the IOC will likely sweep it under the rug.
    • This is reaching the climax now. If Khelif's lawyers take this to court then they have to believe they can win the case. If the case gets quietly dropped before it goes to court you can assume they have no confidence in winning
