Summer Olympic Games Los Angeles 2028 Simulation - with Chat GPT

[rafalgorka 1,808]

I asked ChatGPT what he thinks about LA.

 

The outcome is interesting, to say the least...

 

@clemsonbeav was the first here at totallympics to introduce ChatGPT when preparing the LA schedule (table version). So i just followed your steps...

 

The event #1 - Swimming - M 50m Free - and there is a HUGE surprise already. Where is Cam McEvoy? Does ChatGPT really think Jordan Crooks comes back to olympic swimming???

GROK AI predictions for 2028

Event	Predicted Gold Medalist	Country	Rationale
50m Freestyle	Pan Zhanle	China	Pan's 46.40 Olympic final in 2024 was the fastest ever; at 20 in 2028, he'll own sprints, especially with his 45.92 relay anchor. Edges Dressel, who plans a 50m focus.
100m Freestyle	Pan Zhanle	China	Reclaimed world title in 2025 after 2024 Olympic gold; his sub-46 consistency makes him untouchable in a field including Popovici (bronze in 2024) and Kyle Chalmers.
200m Freestyle	David Popovici	Romania	2025 world champ; at 19, his 1:42.97 PB positions him to dominate as veterans like Short fade. Hobson (silver in 2025) is a threat, but Popovici's upside is massive.
400m Freestyle	Lukas Martens	Germany	Defending Olympic champ and world record holder; 2025 form suggests he'll hold off Short and emerging American Mijatovic (16 in 2025, a distance prodigy).
800m Freestyle	Daniel Wiffen	Ireland	Swept 400/800/1500 at 2024 Euros; at 23, his endurance edges German stars like Moritz Schwarz (2025 breakout with 7:38.12 PB).
1500m Freestyle	Bobby Finke	USA	Defending Olympic champ; consistent depth in 2025 keeps him ahead of Wiffen or Wellbrock, who may shift to open water.
50m Backstroke (New Event)	Kliment Kolesnikov	Russia (Neutral)	Returned strong in 2025 (7th in 100m); his 52.04 PB makes him the sprint back king over Coetze (2025 medal threat).
100m Backstroke	Pieter Coetze	South Africa	2025 breakout (world's top backstroker per rankings); versatile across distances, outpacing Kolesnikov and Ceccon.
200m Backstroke	Hubert Kos	Hungary	Dominant 2025 form (near Hungarian records); at 22, he'll peak over veterans like Prigoda.
50m Breaststroke (New Event)	Adam Peaty	Great Britain	The addition motivated his return; 2025 rebound (near-miss for 100m title) sets him up as inaugural champ over Qin Haiyang.
100m Breaststroke	Qin Haiyang	China	Reclaimed 100/200m titles in 2025 after 2024 dip; explosive starts give him the edge on Peaty in the longer sprint.
200m Breaststroke	Qin Haiyang	China	Back-to-back 2025 golds; his 2:07.41 dominance continues into 2028, fending off American Josh Bey (2025 riser).
50m Butterfly (New Event)	Caeleb Dressel	USA	Shifting focus to 50m free/fly per 2025 interviews; his raw speed (sub-23 fly splits) wins the debut over Proud or young Murasa.
100m Butterfly	Luca Urlando	USA	2025 world champ (1:51.87 PB); recovered from injuries, he'll hold off Heilman (teen phenom) and Japanese risers.
200m Butterfly	Léon Marchand	France	Versatility king; 2025 WR in 200 IM bleeds into fly legs—expect a statement win over veterans like McHugh.
200m Individual Medley	Léon Marchand	France	2025 WR holder; untouchable in multis, as seen in Paris 2024 sweep.
400m Individual Medley	Léon Marchand	France	Four-peat potential; 2025 gold after Olympic triple—peak age aligns perfectly.
4x100m Freestyle Relay	United States	USA	Depth from Alexy, Guiliano, and Hobson; 2025 bronze turns gold with home-pool edge.
4x200m Freestyle Relay	Australia	Australia	Chalmers anchors; 2025 mixed success scales up, beating USA's distance crew.
4x100m Medley Relay	China	China	Pan's fly/free legs + Qin's breast = 2024 upset repeat; Marchand unavailable for France relay.
4x100m Mixed Medley Relay	United States	USA	Balanced squad (e.g., Urlando fly, Finke free); 2025 momentum secures home gold.

And the women from Grok

Event	Predicted Gold Medalist	Rationale
50m Freestyle	Gretchen Walsh (USA)	Walsh, 25 in 2028, dominated sprints in 2025 with world-leading times in the 50/100 fly and free (e.g., 24.06 in 50 free). Her relay contributions and relay world record in the 4x100 medley at 2025 Worlds position her as the sprint queen.
100m Freestyle	Sarah Sjöström (Sweden)	At 34, Sjöström's experience and speed (world #1 in 100 free for years) make her a lock if she continues post-maternity. She won Olympic gold in 2024 and remains untouchable in sprints.
200m Freestyle	Mollie O'Callaghan (Australia)	O'Callaghan, 24 in 2028, edged out Siobhan Haughey for 200 free gold in Paris 2024 and ranked #1 globally in 2025. Her relay prowess adds depth.
400m Freestyle	Ariarne Titmus (Australia)	Titmus, 28, defended her 400 free Olympic title in 2024 and holds the world record. Consistent dominance over Ledecky in this event persists into 2025 rankings.
800m Freestyle	Katie Ledecky (USA)	Ledecky, 31, won her fourth straight 800 free Olympic gold in 2024 and ninth overall medal, ranking #1 in 2025. She's explicitly targeting 2028 for a fifth Games.
1500m Freestyle	Katie Ledecky (USA)	Ledecky's unmatched distance endurance (world #1 in 2025, 15:57.31 PB) secures this; she defended in Paris 2024 by 10+ seconds. Emerging threats like Anastasiya Kirpichnikova (France) trail far behind.
50m Backstroke (New Event)	Kaylee McKeown (Australia)	McKeown, 27, holds the 50 back world record (26.86) and swept backstroke golds in Paris 2024. The sprint addition favors her versatility across 50-200 back.
100m Backstroke	Regan Smith (USA)	Smith, 26, set a world record in 200 back at Paris 2024 but excels in 100 (58.33 PB). Her 2025 rankings (#2 globally) and relay anchors make her the favorite.
200m Backstroke	Kaylee McKeown (Australia)	McKeown defended her 2024 Olympic title and ranked #1 in 2025. At peak age, she'll sweep backstroke events.
50m Breaststroke (New Event)	Mona McSharry (Ireland)	McSharry, 23, rose to #1 in 2025 after Olympic bronze in 2024; her sprint breast PB (29.92) edges out veterans like Lilly King (retired post-2025).
100m Breaststroke	Kate Douglass (USA)	Douglass, 25, won 200 breast gold in Paris 2024 and medaled in 100 at 2025 Worlds. Her IM versatility strengthens her case.
200m Breaststroke	Kate Douglass (USA)	Douglass defended her 2024 title and ranked #1 in 2025 (2:21.46 PB), outpacing Lydia Jacoby (on break but targeting 2028).
50m Butterfly (New Event)	Gretchen Walsh (USA)	Walsh, world #1 in 50/100 fly (25.20 PB), will capitalize on the debut; her 2025 Worlds dominance (7 golds) confirms sprint fly supremacy.
100m Butterfly	Torri Huske (USA)	Huske, 25, won silver in Paris 2024 and co-favorite with Walsh in 2025 rankings. Her consistency edges out young challengers like Mizuki Hirai (Japan).
200m Butterfly	Summer McIntosh (Canada)	McIntosh, 21, won Olympic gold in 2024 (2:03.03 WR) and defended at 2025 Worlds. Her versatility (also 200 IM gold) makes her unbeatable here.
200m Individual Medley	Summer McIntosh (Canada)	McIntosh's 2024 Olympic gold (2:06.56) and 2025 #1 ranking position her for repeat; she'll peak at 21 with fly/back dominance.
400m Individual Medley	Summer McIntosh (Canada)	McIntosh cruised to 2024 gold by 6 seconds (WR 4:24.38 at Trials) and holds #1 in 2025. Freestyle closing speed seals it.
4x100m Freestyle Relay	Australia	Led by Titmus and O'Callaghan, Australia won in 2024 and 2025 Worlds; U.S. depth (Walsh, Huske) is close but trails in leadoff.
4x200m Freestyle Relay	Australia	Repeat 2024/2025 winners; Titmus anchors under 1:55, outpacing U.S. (Ledecky, Weinstein) and Canada (McIntosh).
4x100m Medley Relay	United States	U.S. set WR in 2025 (3:49.34 with Smith, Douglass, Walsh, Huske); unbeatable sprint medley quartet.
