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.

    • I've read many years ago that the switch to artificial grass kinda kill the sport at grassroots level in these two countries.
    • India and Pakistan totally losing the plot in this sport, sad.
    • Lisa Vittozzi and Francesca Lollobrigida on the Sanremo’s stage
    • Interesting, for only 2 months i think i have seen some kind of coin from all of the big countries - Germany, Italy, Spain, Holland, France, Portugal, Belgium, Finland, Ireland and yes the 2 euro from Croatia. But some of them were the smaller ones, 10, 5, 2 cents.    Expectedly there aren't any from the smaller countries so far. Nothing from the Baltics, Cyprus, Slovenia, Malta, Andorra etc. But also a bit surprising i haven't seen any from Greece yet.    Don't know from what part of Italy are you, but it's safe to say that when summer hits there will be a lot of Bulgarians visiting Rome, so i'm sure they'll bring some of our coins to spread around.
    • I choose to collect only coins in circulation (and I have also found coins in circulation that should not be on the market; you can find a bit of everything). From my experience, it takes 4-5 years for coins to reach southern Italy, so I have no idea how it will work in Bulgaria. Incidentally, I am curious to see when I will see my first Bulgarian coin. I have not yet seen a Croatian coin (introduced in 2023!).
    • Yes, i saw that there are a lot of commemorative coins. But to get some of those, i would need to buy them, as i don't know how much of them are in circulation. And the chances of such making it to Bulgaria are rather slim.    Still, if i find some sports ones on a good price, maybe i will order a few.
    • lost against  at P.S.O. Pro League will resume in june.  
    • Have you already started looking for the hundreds of commemorative 2 euro coins? There are loads of them, including sports-themed ones.
    • Don't know if someone else is collecting Euro coins, but since we joined the zone it's been fun looking at what you can get.    It took only 2 months, but today i finally got my first Slovakian coin.  @hckošice  
    • 2012 Olympic champion Katie Taylor  has announced she will retire after her fight in Dublin this summer.     https://www.rte.ie/sport/boxing/2026/0225/1560357-taylor-to-retire-after-dublin-fight-this-summer/
