Your safest Gold Medal Picks for Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024


Recommended Posts

How has somebody not mentioned Weightlifting till now? It is probably the most predictable sport in the Olympics.

Going by the easiest gold medallists, I think Li Fabin :CHN (Men's 61 kg), Lasha Talakhadze :GEO (Mens 102+kg), Hou Zhihui :CHN (Women's 49 kg) and Li Wenwen :CHN (Women's 81+kg) are guaranteed gold medallists. 

If we’re talking about weightlifting, surely :USA Olivia Reeves will also be a pretty heavy gold medal favourite in women’s 71kg? :mumble:
 

That being said I’m not much of a weightlifting expert, so I could be completely wrong.

I just went with the Tokyo gold medallists that I felt had the highest chance to repeat. There are definitely others who also are strong contenders for gold including Olivia Reeves :USA

I hope so but I feel like that’s the kind of event where there could be an upset, like McIntosh just does something crazy out of nowhere, which is very possible due to how young she is and how she is guaranteed to improve.

It was also a paced WR. Faith is a roaring favourite, possibly second only to Mondo. but you never quite know what can happen in a 1500 without pacemakers. It quite often can turn into an 800 metre runners race, despite being full of natural 5000 metre runners, and other athletes in the final are apt to upset tactical plans depending on their reading of their chances... Hull, Muir, Mageaan, Hassan,  Tsegay, Welteji will all want a 'true run' race because they're stronger. some of the Americans might prefer a more messy tactical affair

I don’t think that Crouser and Ingebrigtsen are in the same category as the others.

    • Well, I see that the national competition between mixed doubles and also men increased. Also actually amongst women, too. Before it was mostly Kubeskova team that participated in some international events. This year, Synackova team did really well in the pre-qualification just the final qualification was not that good. But curling is about details. Generally, I am glad to see that there is really much higher competition than it was 10 years ago. And seeing Chabickovsky a Zelingerova making it to the Olympics in such a young age can be really promising for their career as curling is becoming more professional, as we see Grand Slams and other big tournaments.    As for now, I think that in Milano Team Klima and mixed doubles can make really interesting results. After all, they will finish in top 10 so just qualifying to the Games is already a huge achievement

    • Please do not bring this idea to Sindo  
    • Tahli/Dean    Probably just as disappointed as the Australians on here are
    • Gotta feel for  defending world bronze medalists, but couldn't make it to the Olympics
    • with a steal of 3 in the 8th end,  can't make the last shot to stay alive.
    • Oh yea.  Seemed like they were starting to get some less than elite pitchers, but the commits they've had in the last 12 hours have been stellar.  Now the staff feels like an embarrassment of riches.  They have 3 elite starters and a bunch of guys that can eat innings.  Thrilled what Mark DeRosa has been able to put together.
    • It looks like you guys will be juuuuust fine.   Tarik Skubal, Logan Webb, Joe Ryan and Nolan McLean all committed within the last couple of days.
    • Yay for no disqualifications! Thanks @OlympicIRL for all the work! Getting close.
