Nope In fencing, no one really stands out to me.

NearPup 2,974 Posted July 5 #18 Share Posted July 5 I think my biggest non-Canadian wishlist item is for to win a gold medal in table tennis. Beyond that: and in field hockey Nadeem in the men's javelin Wiffen in swimming Literally everyone who plays against Zverev in tennis Routliffe and Sun in the women's doubles in tennis Ondra in climbing The Alexandri sisters in the women's duet in artistic swimming McIlroy in golf Yulo in gymnastics Nemour in gymnastics And any athlete from a country that has never won a gold medal.

This Same for anyone who plays against Ostapenko, Seyboth Wild, Errani, Haddad Maia, and the r***** Van De Velde/Immers (and in athletics I’ll be rooting against Lyles and Richardson) Edit: Oh and Cheng/Hughes (nothing against Hughes) winning gold in table tennis isn’t happening, sorry to tell you. If you wished for them to win a medal with one of the Lebrun brothers or their men’s team, then yeah it’s possible. Edited July 5 by Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
