Associated Press 11 7 11 29

Sports Illustrated 6 4 10 20
  8.3 6.7 8 23

 

I'm doing a little compilation of the medals predictions for Brazil so far. The AP prediction is by far the most optimistic at 29 medals, and Gracenote (I believe they'll still update their table) and Sports Illustrated are a tid pessimistic in totals. I believe we should end with something between these numbers, like 23-26 medals. Less than 23 would be disappointing, more than 26 would be great. There's also a BBC projection that doesn't talk about numbers, but give us 20 strong possibilities of medals - so that's one more to the "20 medals" group. All things considered, Sports Illustrated seems the most realistic of them.

 

 

Nice work!

I still think we'll end up winning 27 medals or more. It will depend on a lot of factors, but it's definitely possible. I'm a lot more curious, however, about the number of gold medals the Brazilian athletes will earn. Anything less than 3 gold medals would be a total disaster, but I'm not too confident we will reach 6 gold medals or more. This is just too much for the level our athletes are displaying right now.

Guys, I'm really worried about the level of aggressiveness between Argentina and Brazil fans....  brazilians are jeering or booing every argentine athlete (even in the smallest sports) and argentine fans are easy to get in rage mode.

In most sports from what I see it has been good natured and nothing other than chants happened, but yesterday there were fist fights in a tennis match (?). I think the men basketball game could be potentially very dangerous since a decent number of argentines probably have tickets.

Not only about argentines, but when I'm watching something and I'm seated in an area with the opponent fans, I try to contain myself a little bit. So far, I haven't seen any fights or heated discussions, so it's a shame to hear this. I will be in the Basketball match, I hope there won't be any incidents.

A não ser a vitória do basquete masculino, hoje foi um dia horrível para o Brasil nos Jogos Olímpicos. A ginástica artística feminina terminou a final em último lugar, a natação vai muito mal, a chuva que se esperava de medalhas no judô não se concretizou, o tiro com arco foi um fracasso, o tênis de mesa não passou de sonho, mais uma derrota no vôlei de praia masculino e agora a dupla de tênis que era favorita ao ouro perdeu o primeiro set. Hoje foi mesmo o dia do 7 x 1. Sete decepções para um raro momento de alegria.

Tá meio morto por aqui, hein? 
 

Então, como vocês avaliam as próximas chances de medalhas? Temos cinco já conquistadas (contando com a medalha no boxe do Robson), mas eu estou achando que vai ser difícil superar o resultado de Londres. Isso seria uma catástrofe sem tamanho, mas... Enfim, como eu vejo daqui em diante:

Chances concretas pela frente: 1 ou 2 no futebol, 1 ou 2 no vôlei, 2 no vôlei de praia, 1 na canoagem, 1 no atletismo, 1 na natação em águas abertas, 1 no handebol feminino.

 

Chances medianas: 1 na ginástica artística masculina, 1 no pentatlo moderno, 1 no pólo aquático, 1 na vela, mais uma na canoagem, mais uma no boxe.

 

Chances remotas: 1 no taekwondo, 1 na ginástica artística feminina, 1 no handebol masculino, 1 no basquete, mais uma no atletismo, mais uma na vela.

Se tudo der absolutamente certo -- o que é quase impossível -- isso dá entre 25 e 27 medalhas, mais ou menos dentro do esperado. Mas acho que vamos chegar no máximo a 18 medalhas, e isso se ainda tivermos sorte. Pode ser que o número de ouros seja maior do que em Londres, mas ainda assim o total de medalhas seria extremamente decepcionante. Mas vamos ver...

    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
    • Ukraine twice in one day defeated Italy and France, like what the heck?
