From :SWE PoV Duplantis is the as a close bet as possible. 

I’m not sure I’d have pole vault for a safest bet regardless of how amazing Mondo is. There are too many variables with PV that can lead to strange results.

McIntosh could beat Titmus for gold. 

Is she definitely swimming it? Aware her schedule is going to be pretty heavy with freestyle, 400IM and relay duties.

It’s her best medal chance on the first day, and she’ll be fresh so I don’t see why not. If she can pace her race well she might be able to push Titmus, otherwise she could finish anywhere from silver to 4th. Given her rigorous schedule it’s unlikely we see her do the double with the 4x100m freestyle relay. MSH, Oleksiak, MacNeil, and Ruck will make up the finals lineup probably.

From 🇬🇧 perspective it has to be the women’s lightweight double in the rowing. They have not been challenged let alone beaten in the past 2 years. It’s as safe a bet as there is at this point.

Tradition. I remember a wonderful point where the best men's pair in the world was Steve Redgrave and whoever he chose that afternoon to row with, while the second best boat was Matt Pinsentt and whoever he chose the same afternoon to row with - the famous "let's crush some dreams" period - one of the oddest things about the Atlanta debacle wa how absolutely certain it was that those lads would do the business. At their best Glover and Stanning came close to that level of sheer brutal mental dominance.

I'd say the closest thing to a gold medal lock Canada has is McIntosh in the 400m IM, but I hesitate to call McIntosh a shoe-in in any race.

    • This might be the stupidest thing I’ve ever read and the complaints by Uhlander are ridiculous and unjustified just because the decision benefits Canada and not her and it’ll lessen her odds of making the Olympics    Since when are other countries supposed to look out for you? 
    • Incredible result for Teixeira and two olympic spots in the halfpipe. 
    • Europe are sending troops to greenland        France sends 15 soldiers, Germany 13.

    • add me in the list 🙋 no USA in any international event   Who will vote in this forum ? 
    • 23 british parliament have signed to ban USA from the next world cup and many international events     Now, 23 politicians from Labour, the Lib Dems, Green Party and Plaid Cymru have signed a motion, external in parliament, calling on international sporting bodies to consider expelling the US from major international competitions, including the World Cup.   https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c2051p7ej1vo
    • And again more winter sports in the leadup to the Olympics, also some AO, although time dependent    If Mboko makes it to the final in Adelaide, then I'll probably add it.    Jan 15 11:30am: Moguls WC Waterville   Jan 16 12:30am/2:15am: Skeleton WC Altenberg - Women's  10:30am: Dual Moguls WC Waterville 9:00pm: Snowboard Cross WC Dongbeiya   Jan 17 2:45am: PGS WC Bankso 4:20am: Freestyle Ski Slopestyle WC Laax 9:00pm: Snowboard Cross WC Dongbeiya   Jan 18 2:45am: PGS WC Bankso 4:30am: Snowboard Slopestyle WC Laax   Jan 20 1:30am/4:30am: Alpine Skiing GS WC Kronplatz

    • Podium finish in the men’s race for  Filippov. It is the first podium of the winter season for a neutral/Russian athlete.
    • that's basically last year's IA Division Worlds roster the only new name is Finoro so, the names might well be there
    • I will do my best to organise a pairs competition also involving nations from the 4 teams that are eliminated in the first half of the team competition along with the lowest ranked individual nations at the halfway point (end of session 2) to form 8 pairs. Pairs will be balanced so that the highest ranked nation in the competition will be paired with the lowest ranked nation, second highest with the second lowest and so on. All of that will be based on the individual ranking at the halfway point.   This way every nation will have at least interest in some event until the end of the 3rd session.   I will probably base it closely on @mrv86‘s proposed rules, and have sprints every 3 rounds of votes. The pairs with most medals from those 3 rounds get the points along with an extra bonus for medal and points doubles.   I do only have 1 day to organise this now so I can’t promise anything though.
