Which Podium will remain the same between Tokyo and Paris

[TeamGB 174]

Which event will see the most identical podium between Tokyo and Paris, or who is the most likely to defend their olympic title?

My wildest of guesses - men's team sabre

Interesting question. A full podium repeat seems only realistic in team events/team sports so if I have to guess some I'll go with some swimming relay (men's 4x100m freestyle?) and for team sports with women's water polo.
But "none" might be the most likely answer, it's a topic that would require a more lenghty research.

that won't be possible, unless something very weird happens later today at the PanAmericans, due to their ranking Italy and Hungary will meet in the quarterfinals.

@FaramirWith no Russia who suddenly got that better in men's sabre?

 

I thought Italy and Hungary would be easily in Top 4

it's Italy that got worse... in top4 alongside Korea and Hungary you have USA and France. And France hasn't been that good as well, but they'll probably have a bit of help at home.

need some reasearch for other sports...

 

but the individual events in swimming and athletics that have the highest chances to repeat in Paris, imho are:

 

swimming - women's 800m freestyle (Ledecky-Titmus-Quadarella)

 

swimming - men's 100m fly (Dressel-Milàk-Ponti)

 

athletics - men's 1500m (Ingebritsen-Tim Cheruyot-Kerr)

 

athletics - men's 400m HS (Warholm-Benjamin-Dos Santos)

 

athletics - men's shot put (Crouser-Kovacs-Walsh) I hope not!!!

 

athletics - women's discus throw (Allman-Pudenz-Perez)

Im 100% sure that Mens 400hs will be the same podium, but I hope with different order.

Never. As much as I'd love it to happen, but Pudenz won't make this as a second time.

Hopefully none.
