I'm getting irritated in the most privileged of ways, I'd like someone to win soon.

Agreed, first world problems, Fleetwood and Rutter so unlucky, the women's road race squad have at least tried, gymnastics was probably a dissapointment. Tomorrow is going to be a massive day for us. At least my Scheffler bet came in.

Why has Deignan launched Vos and Vas?

Because she was trying to keep that group motivated. Kopecky/Vos/Borghini were starting to play games. Which meant that they were losing their lead. Which is why Henderson and Deignan had caught the group back up.

 

Georgi was always the most likely :GBR medalist but they are trying to either break other riders/keep ahead of the like of Dygart behind.

And in the end Georgi does pretty well to finish 5th.

Last night of swimming, are australia likely to pick up any golds tonight? Im thinking relays but u.s might stop them in both,

 

Im thinking about the battle for 3rd in the table and dont want them getting to far ahead 

 

I think gb are still on for 19/20 golds if everything goes right and that should be enough? france having no more fencing/judo/swimming after tonight helps as well

 

Thoughts?

Think today might have put 3rd out of reach for GB but I thought it a couple of days ago and then they had a stormer.

From my reckoning GB's remaining gold chances are: 

Men's 400m

Men's 1500m

Men's 4x100 and 4x400

Women's 800m

Women's 4x100

Women's Pole Vault

Women's Heptathlon

Richardson in Boxing

Men's Extreme Canoe

Women's Extreme Canoe

3x Men's Cycling Endurance

3x Women's Cycling Sprint

3x Women's Cycling Endurance

Equestrian Jumping

Men's + Women's Modern Pentathlon

Men's + Women's Kite

Women's Park

Men's Boulder + Lead

4x Taekwondo

Triathlon Mixed Relay

 

So 32 realistic gold chances left, not sure how many France and Australia have but I don't think it's that many.

 

I'm confident at this stage that we will beat our Tokyo medal tally, but golds may be out of reach.

At the moment we can't seem to buy a gold so I don't want to even think about the prospect of beating either. If we had the dominant track cycling squad of old that could come here and bag 9 of 12 or whatever then maybe. I think the US might win the men's medley, their breaststroke and backstroke are much better than Aus, women's not sure. Aus will get a sailing probably, and will have athletics ambitions of their own. Kennedy, Little etc. Kennedy would mean we miss one of ours as well of course. Little beat Kitaguchi at the diamond league recently. Paterson and Olyslagers in the wings if Mahuchikh faulters. Are any of their sprint canoe boats the best? I have no idea. They have a boxer in the semis. Men's hockey look like they might be going out and women aren't favourites but could happen.

Just my personal opinion, but I'm less bothered than most whether we beat France or Australia. At least in terms of golds. I'd prefer it if we can beat them in total number of medals.

 

Both have some in-built advantages here compared to us, in my opinion. France obviously have the home crowds and host quotas. Australia don't have the crowds, but do have some advantage through the global qualification setup.

 

I'm more interested if we beat/match our own medal totals and top 8s from the last 3 games. If we do that, we will continue to be in rude health as an Olympic nation for me. :)

    • We don’t even have a broadcaster or streaming platform for the games ! IOC couldn’t get any deal for the Indian viewers and we can’t watch this games live ! 
    • 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
