I'd like your take on what to expect from Italian swimmers in Paris. How many medals would you predict for the azzuri? Please try not to be overly optimistic or too pessimistic in your predictions.

I already wrote that in the "King of the Pool" thread

 

I expect Ceccon to dominate the backstroke events (100 + 200m), then "minor" medals from Martinenghi (100m breaststroke), Quadarella (1500m free, but I not exclude also the 800m free, even if it's gonna be very difficult) and possibly the men's 4*100m free relay

 

and then I hope (but I'm not so confident) that Paltrinieri gets a medal in the 1500m free (meanwhile I expect him to win Gold in the 10km Open water) and the men's 4*100m medley relay pulls out a miracle for bronze

 

then, I expect some decent placings in the final (but not medals) from Razzetti (all of his races), Viberti (100m breaststroke), the mixed medley relay, Deplano (50m free), Miressi (100m free), the men's 4*200m free, the women's 4*100m free, Pilato (100m breaststroke) and Franceschi (at least the 400m IM, the 200m IM are definitely more a hope than a prediction)

 

finally, the only "out of order" prediction I like to do is Ragaini in the final (swimming 1.44) of the 200m free
