Possible that GBR could match last year's medal total before the pool swimming gets started.

Don't think any of the action we've seen this week will have all that much relevance when it comes to Paris. If the guys aren't hitting the target times when we get to the British Champs in April then

I can't wait for Paris. Everything seems to be falling into place.

No - but that's primarily because they aren't separate events in the Olympics. 

Am I right to say they would have won silver in the Olympics if things had been in the same format?

The duet field in Doha wasn't as strong as it will be in Paris - there were no Austrians, Japanese or Americans so it's difficult to read too much into it. That being said, I'd say that they should very much be in the mix for the minor medals.

My mistake - Paris official site lists events, not medal events.

 

As a sport I will admit knowing very little about, are no team capable of challenging the Chinese in Paris in the duet similar to most of the diving events?

I don't find it very viewer friendly and I rely on the commentators to make sense of what is going on. 

 

If we look at last year's WC results, :CHN scored 504.6579 across the 2 events. :JPN scored 523.4667 and :AUT scored combined 495.97. As the teams have gotten more comfortable with the new points code the teams seem to be scoring better - :CHN scored combined 516.8213 this year.
