Day 6 Review

 

A really solid day with good results right across the board.

 

The Racewalks went as I expected, with Tingay 11th and Montag getting the bronze. I hope we can contend in the new mixed relay event.

 

Tara Rigney is through to the A final in the single sculls, while both eight boats got through the repechage

 

Del Solar/Clancy are looking good to go through in the beach volleyball. Not so much for both men’s teams

 

Woman’s 3x3 basketball with solid wins over China and the US, are currently first overall. Still more games to come

 

Men’s Hockey bounced back after the Belgian defeat with a 5-0 win over NZ, but the woman were held to a tight 3-3 draw. Both teams will progress to the next stage

 

Sailing is still looking great for us as Grae morris in the windsurfing still leads after 13 races. Matt Wearn got underway today in the laser and is 2nd overall after 2 races. 
 

Water Polo has been great for us at these Paris games as the men defeated France 9-8. 
 

Woman’s basketball got a crucial win over Canada 70-65

 

Surfing looks good as Tyler Wright is through to the quarters. The Ewing/Robinson showdown is happening in the next few hours, so at least one Aussie will be through to the semi. 

Kennedy and Sakakibara look strong so far in the BMX racing, both are through to the semis. 
 

With swimming it was underwhelming for dekkers not to medal but Woman’s 4x200 with a great gold and Olympic record. Such a crucial result as we didn’t win that one in Tokyo. Cam was ok in semi but will need to swim faster tomorrow.

 

So in the end a great day overall with solid results, but we are building into a massive day tomorrow with many chances 

 

Medal Count after day 6 

Gold 8 Silver 6 Bronze 4

Day 7 Preview :AUS

 

A huge huge day today, with 5 gold medal chances for Australia. 
 

Our first chance in the day, and least likely comes with Morrison/Mcintyre in the rowing woman’s pair final. They are the clear favourites for silver behind the dutch pair. I cant help but think this is our only chance for gold in rowing, but its small.

 

Men’s windsurfing medal race is today, and grae morris is straight through to the final. I hope he can win it, as it would be a surprising gold for us.

 

Swimming tonight is Cam Mcevoy in the 50free final and Kaylee in the 200back. Cant help but think both are must wins. Will be very nervous 

 

Then the day ends with the BMX racing finals. Sakakibara looked really strong so far but hopefully she continues in the semis and then the final. 
Conservatively I think Kennedy is just a small bronze medal chance as although hes looked good, the french could wipe out that podium.

 

Outside of the medals today some important things happening such as high jump qualifying, hopefully patterson and olyslagers start well, and lets see what moloney can do in the decathlon. 
 

Teremoana in the boxing 92kg quarterfinal.

 

Massive day!

Day 7 Review :AUS

 

A perfect end to an action packed day 7! 
 

Day started with the rowing bronze for Morrison/Mcintyre which was ok, however they were favoured to get the silver.

Men’s basketball and Field hockey with poor results losing to Greece and India respectively, but both teams progress past the group stage, and for the basketball they can thank canada.

 

I hope Goorjian gets thrown out after these games. Absolutely useless  

 

As for Sailing the medal races for windsurfing were postponed however Wearn in the ICLA after 4 races is now on top.

 

Best thing that came in the day outside of the medals were peers/ebden making the doubles gold medal match. I wasn’t expecting much in the tennis at these games because it’s clay but this is a great result.

 

Athletics had mixed results as unfortunately Moloney is injured once again, but Patterson and Olyslagers cruised through to the final. 
 

Results on the track were generally horrible but Hollingsworth goes through the heat. As for the men’s 1500m you can only laugh and once again wonder why they didn’t select cam myers.

 

Swimming in the end was perfect, with Cam getting the job done after for so long speculating if he could do it. With that he becomes the first male gold for Australia at these games, and then less then 10 mins later Kaylee eases her way to another gold. 200IM semi she does what she needed to do.
 

Sakakibara then tops off a great day! unfortunate for Kennedy who could’ve challenged for a minor medal if he didn’t fall.

 

In the end 3 golds and 1 bronze today, a successful solid day.

 

Total Medal Count 

Gold 11  Silver 6  Bronze 5

Day 8 Preview 

 

Another big day coming up 

 

First major interest of the day comes in the men’s road race, keen to see how Michael Matthews does.

 

Then the tennis gold medal match with peers/ebden. Really hopeful that they can win it 

 

Men’s windsurfing final should hopefully happen today and Grae morris has already guaranteed a medal 


Main interest in athletics is Kurtis Marshall in pole vault qualifying 

 

Second last day of swimming and 3 chances for Australia tonight but we aren’t favourites in any of them. Woman’s 200im with kaylee our best chance, mixed medley relay we will be in the mix and titmus in the 800.

 

Halfway through the games and much more to come! 👍

    • 2028 Team Size Projection – Jan 2026 Update   Here’s an update to my 2028 Team Size Projection. While I touch upon major events changes may occur due to results in smaller events. Additionally, several sports released their qualification document so there may be cases where I have to update the projection. I will only include sports where there is an update.   Here is the link to the updated sheet.     Aquatics (Water Polo) The Men’s European Championships saw take gold. The victory moved Serbia up a few places between European nations. With that said, no one fell out of Olympic qualification with the likes of France and Romania still on the outside looking in. remains on the edge.   Athletics (Marathon) Both the Xiamen and Osaka marathons were held this month along with a few other smaller events. While there were a few changes in the rankings, in terms of Olympic projections gains an athlete in the men’s marathon at the expense of   Badminton Major tournaments include the Malaysia Open and India Open. New updates which affected projections include the women’s doubles where overtook . As Polina Buhrova is also scheduled to compete in the singles event, an additional spot has been open. Other changes in the women’s singles was loses one of their quotas. and benefit from those losses.   Indonesia’s loss on the women’s side is offset by gaining a second player in the men’s singles. This puts   on the outside.   Canoeing The qualification document for both Slalom and Sprint were released/updated. No significant changes were found in the Sprint update. Slalom had significant changes relative to 2024 where the initial quotas will be decided by rankings and kayak cross will now have significant quotas being allocated. After adjustment, the following nations lost a quota; Andorra, Chinese Taipei, Ireland, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Slovakia, and Sweden. The following nations gained a quota; Canada, China, France, Italy, South Africa, Spain, and Tunisia.   Cricket The Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier was held. No changes to the projection.   Equestrian (Dressage & Jumping) Various World Cup events were held. No changes to the projections were made.   Fencing We had two Grand Prix this month, one for epee and the other for sabre. In men’s epee, overtakes . On the women’s side, the United States moved into the top 4 in the team ranking, pushing Estonia down to fifth. This pushed out of Olympic qualification while takes the Americas quota. This caused a downstream effect on the individual side as Ukraine takes an individual quota and Canada relinquishes their quota, additionally, gained a quota while lost one.   In men’s sabre, now takes the Asian team quota pushing down to just an individual quota. No changes were found in women’s sabre.   Handball Four men’s continental championships were held this month. finished top in Africa while a couple of upsets were saw in South America and Asia where and won over and respectively. Despite their wins, they currently haven’t leapfrogged into being projected to qualify. We’ll see how they perform at the World Championships.   Europe saw finish fourth. This was enough to push it into Olympic qualification projection. They pushed out.   Rowing The qualification document was released. There was a change in boat allocation relative to 2024 and the continental qualifier was slightly different than what I projected. Additionally, I assumed coastal rowing would allow 2 men and 2 women to compete in its three events, but the max is 1 man and 1 woman. This has caused significant changes to the projections.   Overall, the United States lost four quotas. Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, and Spain lost two quotas and Algeria, Argentina, Croatia, Cuba, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Portugal, Tunisia lost one quota.   The following nations have gained two athletes; Japan, Morocco while the following nations gained one athlete; Angola, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Cote d’Ivoire, Denmark, Estonia, Kuwait, Latvia, Mexico, Romania, Philippines, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Togo, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu   Rugby Sevens Fixing a couple of mistakes. First on the men, actually has the Asian quota over and in the women as is essentially shutting down the program, I think it is only right to remove them until they decide to compete again. This means is also projected to qualify.   As for new updates, we saw the third tier SVNS compete, which brought no new updates and the Singapore SVNS. I also didn’t add the Dubai or Cape Town SVNS in my calculations. For both, while there was some shuffling no one ultimately fell out.   Shooting The Asian Shotgun Championships were held this month. A few top shooters were missing. The only change to the projection is is set to qualify in women’s trap, pushing out   Squash The Tournament of Champions was held this month. Additionally, the qualification document was released. There was some restriction as to how many nations can send two players and this sport will offer universality quotas.   The following nations lost an athlete quota; Colombia, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand. The following nations gained an athlete quota; Canada, Pakistan, Spain (x2), Switzerland, Ukraine   Triathlon The qualification document was released. There are a few changes relative to 2024. Projection changes include: Losses to Hong Kong and Slovenia and gains for Austria and China.   Weightlifting The qualification document was released. One change to be made was the reallocation process for host nation quotas. Due to this, El Salvador Iraq, Palau, Sri Lanka, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu lost quotas while Australia, China, Dominican Republic, Iran, and Samoa (x2) gained quotas.   Wrestling The qualification document was released. There were some significant changes to the qualification process including using the world rankings and the final qualifier only consisting of non-qualified nations. The projection changes are as follows; losses to Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, and Turkey.   Belgium and Lithuania gained 2 quotas while American Samoa, Austria, Estonia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Latvia, Madagascar, Spain, and Turkmenistan gained 1 quota.
    • Looks like we in the Philippines are in the same situation. No news yet on whether we’ll be able to watch the Games 
    • Cricket is any day in a better position than Baseball, Modern Pentathlon or Rowing 8s globally
    • http://i.imgur.com/gLJZbix.jpg   Honestly football is just on another level. For other sports, an expanded field or creating multiple host cities likely only works with baseball, cricket and maybe basketball, and only in very specific countries.
    • No streaming for the games in India. I contacted IOC they just sent me a list where the games will be shown live.    Last games we had the Olympic channel and YouTube showing the live coverage for regions with no media rights. This time sadly no such schedule.   So much about making the games accessible to all...
    • What revealed those files of Epstein !!!! thousands of scandals , horrible diguisting things mixing politic criminalities , robbery , scam , manipulation...etc    all those celebrities of shht that you love   
    • I wonder if instead of having flexibility around what sport to add there should be one or two team sports per game with an expanded field (of 16 or 32 or w/e) where the host gets to pick which which team sports (if any) has an expanded field.
    • Dunno if this is geoblocked, but this is from our weekly comedy show Saturday Night Live  
    • I don't buy that she's doing this just to start the race if she thinks she won't be competitive.  We'll probably know more after the training run and far be it from me to know how that's going to work with a torn ACL, but if she knows she can't do it, she'll give that spot to another skier
