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
