Is the article online? Do they really say that it is a prediction?

I only saw a tweet posted on another forum and shared it here

47 medals, including 17 Gold? I'll take it at once, but I'm afraid we'll struggle to reach fourty.

Stop being dramatic, there are plenty events where Germany is favorite for a medal. 50 medals should be the goal.

So it's not a prediction...just another medal count almost identical to this thread.

Well, medal count can be a prediction.

37 medals for Pays-Bas/Netherlands is a bit optimistic. Netherlands has never won more than 25 medals at an OG (2000 Sydney).  Is Netherlands really good at all the new mixed events?

Yes, but results in 1996 or 2012 or 2016 don't say that much about 2020

Agreed. For all we know, Haiti may top the Tokyo medal table.

Now you're just going to extremes

Yay, the first nonsense prediction based on nothing but world championships results of the past two years

 

From L'Èquipe so in French, but surely that's not so difficult with a bit of basic language knowledge (or google).

Is this only for the top 10 or is available somewhere also the rest of the table ?

I'm not dramatic at all, especially not 1,5 years before the Games even begin.. I just think that it's more realistic this time.

 

To begin with, if this is a projection they have probably counted the medals won by Kristina Vogel
