At this point in the sailing I think it’s all on Emma and the men’s dinghy.

 

maybe the mixed boat has chances but not exactly a favourite. 

Only two medals would quite a drop from 5 last time.

It’s a completely different set of boat classes though ; not comparing like with like

True but are the signs good for an improvement in LA then?

im not too ready to write off anyone's chances yet, even if they dont have form it's all about the conditions and marseille seem's a bit weird, emma has figured it out, maybe other crews will to dominate a bit more, fingers crossed. Having said that, i'd settle for 2 golds and sneak something else

I think one gold and one other medal is where my expectations are right now, but lots of sailing to go. 2 golds would be an awesome result at this point.

You would need someone far more familiar with the sport than me to answer that one I’m afraid!

At this stage of the games i dont think the medal table has looked as tight as it is between 5/6 nations all being up there, the swimming golds are being spread out a lot more than usual, china and usa are kind of down where i would expect them to be, i think the top four on current form could be a lot closer (and lower level of golds than usual)

USA has a lot of silver medals, that keeps China first. I think in gold medals the gap will be very close between them as in 2021. Also if GB goes well in Track Cycling and the rest Rowing events then they have good possibility to take the 3rd place

    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons

    • More AI visualizations of the venues.         
    • I can count for you, but what I will say is that I don't think it was a lot. 
    • Off-topic, when I lived in Beijing there was a park across the street that had all the 2022 pictograms along its fence on the street. They were big and lit up at night. It was really cool, especially because the 2022 pictograms were very unique and creative. 
    • They're not very creative or unique to Italy/Milano, but like others have said, at least they're understandable unlike Paris. These are very generic, though. 
    • National law and sport rules are completely different. Like, there's a law in Canada that if you punch someone in the face you will get charged with battery. But if you're playing hockey and do it, you'll only get 5 minutes in a penalty box. Japan only recognizes gender at birth and this was not an issue in 2020(1).    Any law Trump and the Republicans pass can only apply to governmental organizations, i.e. school competitions. Private sport events, like the NHL, MLB and the Olympics, can still decided who can and cannot participate in what events. If the NHL wants a female goaltender to play, they can do that tomorrow if they want. If the IOC decides Semenya can participate in the female category, then that's their right as a private entity. I'm sure Hitler wasn't happy that Jews, black people and other groups were allowed to participate in 1936, either.    Of course, I've been saying for a long time they should do away with "male" and "female" categories and just have "Over/Under X amount of testosterone" categories. 
    • Yeah, if they have all their FTA* live streams on one page, announced in advance, life will be easier. Before you had to sub to about 7 or 8 YT channels to.know what was on every week.   But the results/events Page is also easier, because previously they used to mix up World Cup & say, Balkan Cup events together.
    • UWW's new rules for change of nationality   this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more.    still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1.    some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament. I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too . https://cdn.uww.org/2024-11/change_of_nationality_regulation_eng_oct2024_final.pdf also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.   it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW. 
    • Roki Sasaki has been posted for MLB transfer. Dodgers vs everyone else Part 175?
