Woman’s Football -Group B 

:AUS - 0

:GER - 3

 

In the first disappointment of the games, Matildas are outclassed by the 4th ranked Germans.

Was expecting more from the team considering the post World Cup popularity and potential.

 

We move on

:AUS Day 1 Preview 

 

A MASSIVE first day for Australian medal chances 

 

(DIVING)
Woman’s 3M Synchronised  

The first medal chance at these games for Australia will come with Keeney and Smith in this event. They are also the Rio 2016 bronze medalist and I can see a very good chance for a Silver here. Hard to look past the Chinese for the gold


(Cycling Road)

Woman’s Individual Time Trial

Grace brown could either win it, get a minor medal or not even medal at all. She will be second last out of the gates as a result of her strong world champ result. Hard to predict but this will likely be our first Gold medal chance of the games 

 

Rugby Sevens

(Men’s)

The medal matches are today and on paper a bronze medal matchup with South Africa is the most likely scenario, unless we do something incredible and beat FIJI. This team getting a medal would be an incredible result, as not many would of picked them to do so.

 

Swimming

(Men’s 400M Free)

The start of the massive swimming chances begin with Short and winnington in the 400. Assuming they get through heats, this is going to be a massive matchup against Lukas Martens . As far as beating the US in the Swimming medal tally, this is absolutely crucial for us to win.

 

(Woman’s 400M Free)

Titmus will a strong favourite but watch out for Summer Mcintosh, as she is eventually going to be beat Titmus one day, let’s just hope it’s not tonight. We will also be on WR watch here 

 

(Woman’s 4X100 Free Relay)

We will be favourites here as always, and not winning this would be an absolute disaster. WR watch once again and will be interesting to see who the final 4 swimmers will be.

 

(Men’s 4x100 Free Relay)

US are obviously strong favourites, but Australia can hopefully challenge for the Silver if Kyle does his thing. Hopefully a strong performance from him 

 

(Recap)

All in all, there is 4 gold medal chances for us on day 1 (3 in swimming 1 in cycling) and ambitiously I want us to win at least 3. It will be tough but very possible. 
Only walking away with 2 golds would be not end of the world but slightly underwhelming. Anything less than 2 is a disaster. 
 

Absolutely massive day, bring it on 💪

    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind , 
    • The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.
    • I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
