At the risk of cursing us, today is the first day I'm expecting us to win a bunch of medals. I reckon we have six very good chances today:

 

Men's 200m free

Mountain Bike

Team Eventing

Individual Eventing

10m Synchro

Team Final - Gymnastics

 

And we have a bunch of maybes.

 

By contrast, day 1 and 2 only had six chances each day, and some of them were maybes.

 

Obviously, if today doesn't go well, it's not a good sign.

It's also worth noting that our 4 medals thus far have come in 4 different sports. Which keeps up our recent record of being one of the more diverse medal winning nations out there. Obviously I want us to win a ton of medals but knowing that we are competitive in a lot of sports is a very pleasing thing. I prefer that to being very good at 1 or 2 and that's it.

Will say that two medals are not implausible from the eventing. Tom is under a fence behind bronze currently. Burgess is another maybe, 2 outside hopes for medals in the pool with OM and AE.

 

But today feels like a big day, we really need the eventing team and Pidcock to bring home gold for some momentum

Swimming medal chances have just improved with both Gorbenko and Forrester missing the final...You have to think that there's 3 people going for 2 medals - Freya and the 2 Americans.
