Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024 Medal Count


 Share

Recommended Posts

Some observations on a few other nations.

 

:NZL New Zealand continue their leadership in the category of "Most wins and medals compared to the population and territory of the country". Their sporting success and consistency every Summer Olympics is admirable. 

 

:NED Netherlands officially confirmed their status as a member of the "Big Boys Club". Second consecutive Summer Games with over 30 medals, but with a better conversion into Golds and 6th place in the table. In Tokyo they were 7th. Add to that the last 3 Winter ones, where they were 5, 5 and 6th and it shows how they have steadily risen in the ranks. 

 

Sure, the majority of their medals came from cycling, rowing and athletics, but that just means they are perfectly escalating in the traditionally strong sports for them. Know what you are good at.

 

:UZB Uzbekistan also had their best Games ever and so much better than in Tokyo. Their stronghold is boxing, but also have done very good in the other combat sports. Once again the motto of "know what you are good at". I think they were slightly pushed in some boxing matches, but in general their fighters are amongst the best in this version of boxing.

 

:CAN Canada is also steadily improving, but unlike :NED and :UZB their progress is seen in a large variety of sports. Sure, they have a superstar like McIntosh who brought many of the swimming medals, but i was watching a number of other sports and they had Canadians fighting for top positions everywhere. Sports, which you wouldn't associate with Canada in the past years. Don't know what has changed, but they have broaden their sporting horizon. If things continue like this, by LA 28 they would be in the :GER - :FRA - :ITA - :NED fight. 

Also with the US being hosts, they will have a much easier path in the qualifications without the Americans, so their delegation will be 350-400 in 2028 i reckon.

Canada has set new records for Gold and Total medals!!! (for a non-boycotted games)
Old records were 7 Golds and 24 Totals. New records are 9 Golds and 27 Totals medals.

We even had 2 gold favourites (Warner and Mitchell) who did not medal at all.

We also had quite a few predicted medallist who also did not medal.

Maybe 10 and 30 next time?

Mitchell? Please don’t tell me that you are talking about women’s track cycling sprint …

Calling her the favorite is like calling Germany the favorite in women’s basketball.

And another domination by the best nation!!! Since 2028 will be a total domination (at least 50 gold is my bet) China should start working on their 2032 hopefuls

Are you actively trying to make the U.S. even less popular or do you just not realize how annoying you are? Even beatmen is less biased than you are.

Competing in your backyard (the USA) makes it seem quite possible, doesn't it?

That's right, we tend to do better in the USA (but sucked in Montreal and Calgary, lol)
Canadians and Americans are very similar types of people, (we are just not as outgoing, lol)

In addition to Canada beating their non-boycott records in golds/total medals, they also won medals in the most sports ever (including 1984). 15 sports, 8 new ones from Tokyo. That is very encouraging. 

 

As you said, there were some high profile disappointments - decathlon, shot put, judo, boxing, and track cycling (apparently the whole team got a stomach virus and almost didn't compete at all). But there were some out of nowhere surprises - fencing, rugby, tennis, 4x100 relay (surprise gold at least). 

 

As usual, we got an incredible amount of 4ths. I think the final tally was 15. If you take 5ths from combat sports it goes up close to 20. That is crazy compared to 27 total medals. Wouldn't be so bad if it didn't quite literally happen every single Olympics. 

 

Overall, a great success for Canada in 2024. Many of the new medalists are young and will improve over the next 4 years.

I meant to say Mitton, not Mitchell (crap, I knew it started with an "M" lol)

Since been corrected.

Canada's Vincent beat the American woman for gold by 1/100 of a second in canoe. In a fun, family rivalry way, it would have been hilarious if that's what put the US second on the overall table in the end.

To add on that, :SWE Sweden is constantly improving the rankings from having no gold in Beijing, 1 in London, 2 in Rio, then 3 from Tokyo and now 4. They are back in the top 20, along with :NOR Norway. Another country not really on the radar is :BEL Belgium with double digit medals for the first time since 1924.

    • HA, shitty food indeed, however we bring something to the world that no arab countries do, Every big tech company working with israeli inventions, google israeli tech and medicine inventions, you'll be surprised, better put your phone down because both Apple and Google invest in israel
    • Gonna call your terrorist friends? Watch out for your pager!   We only killed when trying to get to Hammas that are hiding in civilian population, in Mosques, under hospitals, inside kitchens. The arab world is the one always trying to get into a fight, but every time they start something we knock them out and they start crying to the world, it's no longer working, we simply don't care. in 1948 we were attacked, we won, in 1967 we were attacked we won (while winning the Golan Heights and Sinai which we gave back 7 years later) and in October 7th your buddies decided to fuck around, so now they found out that we are not to be messed with, Iran is jumping now that Nasrallah's death will be avenged, well, i'm looking forward to that
    • They did all that with money of Mcdonalds/starbucks/coa cola ...shty food 
    • and do not quote my comments again 
    • They kill Palestinians all the time during the year from 1948 , steal their houses and richness , torture innocents in jail including kids , they created terrorism to destroy the area ...etc ..etc and they will stop til they kill everyone in this planet according to this telmoud  now world understand what Adolf did       
    • No, it's not, because the other side are openly calling for extermination of Israel and jews, while, if given a chance we would love the whole region to be together and work together, on trade and other things   What do you think the ABRAHAM ACCORDS are? attempt to normalize the region, and if not for October 7th (or biden's election), then Saudi Arabia would've been a part of it. so 100000% Hammas and Hizballah are the bad guys , and even suggesting that Israel are not really shows that you don't understand the region and not truly know what's happening there, and rather parroting what you hear from the media or see on social media.   And if you think that it's a Netanyahu thing, it's not, not even close, the Israeli elected officials support it. Up until 2 months ago, the leader of the opposition Benny Ganz was in a unity government, Leaders of the left like Yair Lapid support the current work in Lebanon.    
    • "We"     But yeah, just saying "oh its war, we are the good guys, just defending ourselves" isn't different to what the 'other side' says. Very plain, very simple: both Netanyahu and his cronies and the terrorists of Hamas, Hezbollah and so on have insane amounts of blood on their hands. They can try to wash it by saying "but the other guys are worse!", but that doesn't work.   Oh well, I don't believe in an afterlife, but if I did, I'd be happy knowing where these 'leaders' will end up, all in the same place.
    • What we did was a payback, we don't have a drop of blood on our hands, they started something October 7th, they thought the pressure from the world and USA will deter us, but it's not going to, we simply don't give a fuck anymore. The blood is on the hands of Hammas, Hizballah, Iran, Qatar and other terror enablers like our terrorist friend over here. This is WAR, and innocent people die in war. Unlike other wars the ratio of terrorists to civillians is much better then any other war.   The amazing pager operation was an example of how we target the terrorists specifically.   It's very easy for Hammas and Hizballah to stop the war in about 10 minutes, give up arms, release hostages and we will stop before the beginning of the hour, but they won't do that. So they will get everything that is coming to them.    
    • Not sure where to post this, but Greece is rewarding all athletes who finished in the top 8 in Paris. 30.000 euros for gold medalists, 20.000 for silver, 15.000 for bronze, and 10.000 for athletes finishing 4th-8th. If you were part of a team, then you only get half the amount.   So this means: 30.000-Apostolos Christou (20.000 + 10.000), Miltiadis Tentoglou 15.000-Emmanouil Karalis, Dauren Kurugliev, Eleftherios Petrounias, Theodoros Tselidis 10.000-Kristian Gkolomeev, Theodora Gkountoura, Emmanouela Katzouraki, Stefanos Ntouskos, Stefanos Tsitsipas 7.500-each member of Fitsiou/Kontou and Gkaidatzis/Papakonstantinou teams 5.000-each member of Anastasiadou/Bourmpou, Malkogeorgou/Platanioti, men's basketball, men's water polo, and women's water polo teams   It's nothing extravagant like other countries do, but some nice bonuses for these athletes, except of course Tsitsipas and the men's basketball players which really don't need this money.
    • after some gazillion of years FC Sankt Pauli won a Bundesliga game   Worth a beer to me ! cheers folks
