My friend, I don't want to be a partypooper, but I'm wondering why does Guatemala, a country with pretty big population, have such a poor Olympic record?

I think it is the same as with many developing poor countries with big population: the access to sport facilities, nutrition, corruption (benefits to some elites) and poor organization managment has make a toll on the success. It was until the late 1990s and early 2000s that things starte to change, first at the Central American and Caribbean Games and then Pan American Games, where Guatemala started winning more medals. things are changing and hopefully the trend will continue.

 

To be out of the list of countries benefited by Universality quotas, qualifying directly about 70% to 80% of total athletes is the changes that  is seeing.

 

I will add that Football has been the most popular sport in the country for decades, and the budget, facilities and promotion of it dominates over individual sports. So, that situation also influence in what sports kids and teenagers practice.

 France are having an exceptional Olympics so far. If they had gotten the expected 2-3 gold in judo in the passed weights, they would be leading the medal table.

 9 gold medals (-3 compared to the same period at the 2020 Games)

 8 gold medals (+5 compared to the same period at the 2020 Games)

 

This would imply the following total at the end of the 2024 Games:

 China - 35 gold medals

 USA - 33 gold medals

 France - 15 gold medals

Yeah, it's so unexpected, like you said we have 0 Gold medal in judo, which is supposed to be our best sport (with fencing). 

 

But we could clearly thanks Leon Marchand for this.

Right now, at the end of Day 5, we have the following gold medals for the USA, China, and France:

 5 gold medals (-6 compared to the same period at the 2020 Games)

 9 gold medals (-3 compared to the same period at the 2020 Games)

 8 gold medals (+5 compared to the same period at the 2020 Games)

 

This would imply the following total at the end of the 2024 Games:

 China - 35 gold medals

 USA - 33 gold medals

 France - 15 gold medals

 

For  China the difference is that in Tokyo, weightlifting was at the start of the program, while now it's at the end. That at least 4 certain Golds there.

 

The  US on the other hand are indeed underperforming in swimming (and in some other sports i would reckon) when it comes to Golds. On the other hand, their athletics team is much stronger now, than in Tokyo, so the falling behind in swimming can be compensated in athletics. It will come down on how will they do in the smaller sports and if they can get some surprise winners.

 

For  France i'm still saying it's 20+ golds.
