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.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

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.

      That would be fantastic. Mostly I just don't need the sidebar because it makes the experience less good by being distracting and in the way, but the main issue (for me, that is) is seeing content of all kinds of threads.   I'm very glad this wasn't around during the Olympics yet, I would genuinely not have been able to enjoy Totallympics at all then. That was sometimes already somewhat difficult with the never-ending insistence of people to spoil results in threads of other sports, but the current sidebar would have made it very hard (and that would be a shame, because I definitely love and always will love Totallympics ).   Anyhow, we'll see how this develops. And about the clubs: yes, you see the latest posts in the sidebar, but I don't want to see posts in the sidebar at all (and in the case of , the club isn't that active, so for weeks I've basically seen the same 2-3 year old posts). Seeing a changing poll or newly registered users or something, while not ideal to have it in a non-customisable sidebar, is at least less distracting than actual content so less of a problem.   Again, all just my opinion, I can totally imagine other people - probably even a majority - have no issues whatsoever.

      Yes, the whole forum is now wider so the "posts" section is almost as wide as before.   The sidebar can be customised anyway so my plan is to add more things in the future, like olympic qualification trackers and other things. I can try to ask for a customised plugin where users can choose what they see in the sidebar, but I am not sure it will be possible.   If you are in a club or not makes no difference on the presence of the sidebar, right? You should just see your club's latest post if you have joined a club, but if you are no part of any club you should still see the sidebar, with the other blocks (like a poll, the latest registered users etc.)

      And watching Artistic Swimming or Ice Dancing you can get impressed with the choreo and the artistic elements... Im just still trying to understand Kata. All seemed the same, all doing the same... why someone won? Cause they shouted more? It was veeeery weird   Not that Kumite was any better. I failed to understand that too.     Karate had it chance and it fumbled the bag pretty hard. Almost as hard as Breaking.

      We also have artistic swimming and figure skating. Dancing will be a part of the Olympics, even if DanceSport never returns.

      No, we don't. I know this is even going to keep me away from the forum in the winter, when the winter sports are going on (which I know isn't important, but I find sad for myself ), because it's just unavoidable to see comments and replies in other threads. Might almost as well make it one massive chat room instead of having separate threads...   Anyhow, something changed since last night it seems, the open thread is now at least wider (on desktop/laptop) and the sidebar takes relatively a bit less space, so that's....somewhat better, I guess? It should be a setting though, since I can definitely imagine some people find it useful or even nice, while others don't.   I'm having this sidebar since joining the NED club right before the Olympics, and have found the presence of that bar highly irritating ever since (in such a way that, now that I realize it, I'll leave the club now that the Olympics are done for the sole purpose of having less of the sidebar)

      Thinking breakdancing 'changes the essence of the Olympics' is somewhat exaggerated, to be fair. Especially when you consider we already have an Olympic dancing competition that's widely accepted as being part of it (unfortunately), and is called dressage.
