Looked like they had taken a different line to the other boats heading to the second mark, but I couldn't tell if they had made up places or were still struggling at the back. Probably just as well it was abandoned on balance.

The Croatians had stalled so we were back in a medal

Big win over Japan, first Top 8 finish of the games in the bag already.   I know the reasons why it's happened this time, but having two of the three men's sevens days taking place before th

Amazing, been watching Daniel coming through for years and it's all come together tonight, and arguably not even in his strongest event. This is what it's all about.🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

With those conditions though it could have easily went the other way again. So it’s a good thing they abandoned it and let it be raced in better conditions to allow the sailors a fair crack at the medal race.

Oh yeah. Absolutely. Turned into a lottery. The Spanish were flying and literally came to a stop. 
 

I'm just saying it wasn’t certain we were about to lose that medal

Ah sailing, don't ever stop being the most frustrating sport to watch in the Olympics.*

Sailing called off for the day. Means there will be five finals for Ireland tomorrow - potentially six in the event Fannon makes the 50 free final.

A gold medal tomorrow for our men’s lightweight double rowers would mean we’ve already surpassed our Tokyo 2020 performance and would begin to zone in on surpassing Atlanta as our best Olympics on record.

Yes, getting close. Personally I'd consider London to be out best up to now - 6 medals including a gold - as the medals were won by six different people across three sports. So seven medals including the gold we have already won, or six medals with two golds would surpass it. We've already covered three sports in our medal wins this time as well.

 

It's hard to see us not doing that from here - gold for the lightweights looks more likely than not at this point and Wiffen will likely medal at least once more in these games. So that alone would get us to six including at least 2 golds, with multiple chances to add further to that as well, and hopefully win in a record fourth different sport.

 

The dream scenario would be to better both the total medals from London and the total golds from Atlanta. That remains very possible, but not near as certain as the other target.

      Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

      2026 Winter Olympics - Very Early Predictions

      By copravolley · Posted

      For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.

      If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?

      I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups.

      If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great

      Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
