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 💪

    • 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).

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • 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.
