How many medals do you expect from your Nation at the Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024?

Recommended Posts

Beforehand I expected 12-13 gold medals and 34-35 total medals, it ended up being 15 gold medals and 34 total medals, so not bad :p 

 

As of course always: not everyone delivered, whether that was due to bad luck or just not being good enough, whereas others delivered unexpectedly, but that's never going to be different in a massive event with so many participants.

looking at my pre-game prediction, I don't know why I'm upset/not-happy about winning 12 medals which was twice my prediction in June :d

 

my latest prediction before the games was 9 medals though. still 12>9 :p

I had almost exactly 3 golds and also almost exactly 9 total medals, so you know, not bad at all :d

I expected replay from 1956 and it was close. We had no official exptectations. Ministry of Sport is in the hands of new goverment, POC in hands of the old one. Political pat. Financial chaos. Only POC chief expected 15 medals but it was all part of his possible presidencial campaign from old goverment side to replace Duda. It was his kind of...private count. Predicting near 9 i was seen as pesimist...no idea on what basis. My max was 12..it was possible. Oh golds...2 but knowing how climbing is risky it was 1-2. It went the other way round Iga-Miroslaw. Dream of gold in volleyball...not this time. Terrible games as i predicted😉. We didn't know if Borowska competes, in what shape. Going backwards from 350m mark in sprint canoe...well...this was above even my imagination 😉

According to bookmakers and most predictions we could win about 45 medals, including 12 gold. The number of gold medals was perfectly predicted. In terms of the total medals, we tied with Tokyo - 40 medals but we fell a little short of 45. 20x 4th place played a significant role. We reached the number of 40 medals thanks to a great finish - 10 medals in the last 3 days. However, I wrote earlier that I would prefer gold in women's volleyball than even 4-5 bronze medals more in some individual competition and that's exactly what happened - this is our first gold in a team sport since 2004 and the first in history in volleyball. That's why I consider these games a moderate success, although of course it can always be better.

In Italy Giovanni Malago- the head of CONI (Italian Olympic Committee) will reach an agreement with any government: the centre-left, the technical government and now the right-wing coalition led by Prime Minister Meloni

Polish-Polish war (as it is really called here) does not allow this, they have to totally fight with the other side. This is one of the reasons of our internal problems. Not for Poland, for Kaczyński or for Tusk.

In my opinion, a system of financing sports should be developed that is independent of the current government or authorities. Such a hypothetical amount of money per year should, for example, increase proportionally to inflation and GDP growth.

Yes, we know this THEORY in Poland 😉😉😉but we have much more important issues eg which part of this nation are Poles and which traitors. After some 18 years it is still unclear 🙂🙂. When one side rules takes all the money and positions, changes every internal system, history books etc ..then the other side does the same 🙂. I'm trying to put it in light humoristic words...in real... it's not too funny. No money no funny 😉😉. No...we are (in theory) not in Africa.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week
