A good chance for a medal in Paris in a sport or an event that your NOC had no olympic medal before.


Recommended Posts

Only chance to win a medal in a new sport is basketball, but I think we'll just be happy to qualify first.

 

Fencing and tennis we haven't won medals since 1896, so medals in those sports will basically be new sports at this point :d

 

Also in water polo both our men and women have won Olympic medals, but no gold.

 

 

For a medal in a new event, I guess there are a lot of them. Men's team (basketball), women's sabre (fencing), women's 70 kg (judo), women's pair (rowing), women's double sculls (rowing), men's skeet (shooting), women's skeet (shooting), mixed skeet (shooting), women's singles (tennis), mixed doubles (tennis), women's 53 kg (wrestling), men's 74 kg freestyle (wrestling). 1988 was the last time we did not win a medal in a new event so I guess it's quite likely to win a medal in at least one of these.

I can see it happening for :ISR in two new sports (we have medals only in five judo, kayak, sailing, taekwondo and gymnastic), first is athletics in marathon, and second is track cycling maybe, both not a great chance

Boxing .

Nikhat is current world champion in 50 kg .

 

The way she lost at Asiad no longer she's the favourite 

:NED 

 

There is just a small chance, but Handball.

And 3x3 basketball, if we qualify.

I hadn’t realized we still haven’t won an Olympic medal in fencing. Eleanor Harvey and Jessica Guo are contenders in women’s foil. Cordano Russell also has a chance in men’s street skateboarding, although he isn’t one of the favourites as of now despite his 4th at Worlds. 
 

Overall, between surfing, fencing, judo, 3x3 basketball, breaking, and skateboarding, I’m thinking medals in 2 new sports (3x3 basketball/breaking), and a first ever Olympic gold in judo.

Skateboarding and Triathlon should be considered too, although I don't see them even topping the Tokyo results. But Handball likely suffers the same fate.

There's also Breaking.. but that's kinda, well, breaking the rules.

For gold, probably women's football. As if. 3x3 basketball men seems even more likely to grab the gold.

Can’t believe I forgot about beach volleyball, in history Canada’s only won one singular bronze medal, and there’s a chance we can improve on that with Melissa Humana-Parades/Brandie Wilkerson

Our best chance for a medal in a sport we didn’t win a medal in before is Rhys McClenaghan in artistic gymnastics. He’s one of the favourites in the men’s pommel.

 

Golf is also worth a bet as we have chances in both men’s and women’s events.

 

Small chances for a first medal in road cycling and taekwondo though I wouldn’t be putting my hopes on them either. 

I have convinced myself that Lara Gillespie is winning a medal in the omnium in Track Cycling

I guess for :GER it's men's basketball. Though in spite of everything I still think it will be very difficult for them to medal.

    • need to work on the celebrations... or just drop them?   Btw, these jerseys suck and I remember Zambia playing in all white with red numbers. At least they have orange on national flag but still...    
    • British Columbia in general and Vancouver in particular are awesome and it’s great more people got to discover it thanks to Vancouver 2010.
    • And of course the British being famous for curmudgeons, there were always plenty of curmudgeons to quote.  Then of course from the opening ceremony and the cycle race on the very first morning it was obviously going to be triumph, so everyone just shut up for a while.  
    • Yep, the amount of emergency services I heard at some point was a little extreme (for our little town), so I checked what was going on and saw they were all being called to a specific location. Until then I thought maybe it was part of a parade of trucks and agricultural vehicles that was on it's way from the next town over, decorated with lights and stuff.   Since I knew it was on the parade route, I was sure one of those big vehicles had hit people somehow (there were, besides the many vehicles, also two helicopters on the way, meaning it certainly wasn't about a single victim).   We picked our bikes and went to take a look, absolutely chaos in the area. Never saw so many services combined together, fire trucks from 20km away, ambulance after ambulance came racing by, people frantically trying to make way for them (the roads weren't really closed yet).   While there we heard someone who had been close say that the parade hadn't arrived yet and what seemed to have happened was that a car from the other side came onto the roundabout and simply never turned. "It's a massive drama over there, unbelievable", he said.   Quite quickly rumours started spreading of course, the first one turned out to be true: a middle aged (local) woman was behind the wheel and seems to have become unwell. Local security camera showed the car going at high speed right before the roundabout.   Plenty of rumours going around in terms of who were involved of course, and people keeping each other up to date to see if they know this or that family and such...   Never expected my little town to be big news in the Netherlands, even including some breaking broadcasts, live reporters and everything, damn. By far the biggest thing to happen here in my memory  
    • This is the home town of our very own @heywooduand @brunamoura    
    • For me, these were very good Olympics, and British sport benefited greatly from them, and is still benefiting. I fear it will be much worse here. Canada also benefited very good on Vancouver 2010 – this is very good see in the medal standings of subsequent Winter Games after 2010 and earlier.
    • Nobody hates Britain more than the British media so… I recall it being quite a pessimistic tone before the London games started.
    • I'm curious what was written before London 2012? Did they attack their own country, or did they just keep quiet?
    • Other winners at the PanAm Sports Awards Junior 2025            
    • Very true point.  Although I think at this point everyone is just holding their collective breath until the test event.  The NHL isn't going to rage anymore until then because it's not like that would make the arena progress go any quicker
