Ah eu acredito que até os ouros possam ser mais em relação a Londres. Mas o número de medalhas ando bem pessimista, deve ser abaixo do esperado. Se bobear, na linha de Londres 2012. Esportes coletivos acredito que vai melhorar, os dois gêneros no vôlei, vôlei de praia e futebol, o hand feminino e até o polo aquático masculino, acredito que possam levar alguma coisa.

From our medalists:

  • Ágatha and Barbara (Beach Volleyball) have announced they won't play together anymore (Barbara already has a new partner, it seems).
  • At least for now, Martine Grael/Kahena Kunze (Sailing) don't have plans for the next Olympics cycle and won't compete this season anymore.
  • I'm thinking Robson Conceição will probably move to professional Boxing just like our 2012 medalists.
  • From Judo, I'm thinking this was Rafael Silva's last Games, but I might be wrong. I just hope Mayra Aguiar doesn't move to MMA like rumours are saying.
  • Diego Hypólito (Gymnastics) says he will try to compete in 2020, but for how long he can keep being a valuable adition to the team competing in only 1 apparatus (same for Zanetti, but he's younger than Hypólito).

 

Overall, I think we will have a lot of new names medaling in 2020, many athletes even extended their careers just to compete at home, so we'll see huge changes in next cycle, especially in team sports (Women's Volleyball worries me the most, now that the "golden age" is over).

The artistic gymnastics program will change completely from 2020 on. Each team will be composed of 4 all-arounders and up to 2 extra gymnasts can try to qualify as specialists through the World Cup circuit. Hypólito and Zanetti could easily qualify as specialists, while the team could keep focus on four strong all-arounders. This even gives Daniele Hypólito a chance to qualify for her sixth Olympics, though I pray for the Gods she decides to retire before then.

 

Our best female gymnasts, Flávia and Rebeca, are the top 2 all-arounders of Brazil right now. Thais Fidélis and Fabiane Valentin are promising junior gymnasts, while Lorrane Santos and Julie Kim are young and talented gymnasts who could try to qualify as specialists. Overall, the chance will be very good to the women's team. I'm not so sure about the men's team, though. Mariano could drop all-around entirely and focus on floor, Ângelo Assumpção is a promising gymnast but he's not so good as an all-arounder, Barreto will probably not make it to 2020, and Sasaki will probably not be in his better shape. Besides Ângelo, the best promising gymnast for the future is Caio Souza (bronze medal at the 2015 Pan American Games), but we need more strong all-arounders if we want to qualify a full team again.

Yes, if there's a possibility, I'm sure Zanetti and Hypólito will try to qualify as "specialists". Probably won't win medals, but who knows. Even though we only won medals in the Men's side, the Women's team looks better for 2020 with the new names arriving.

Taekwondo (Iris Tang Sing)
Tennis (Bruno Soares/Marcelo Melo)
Volleyball (Women's team)
Wrestling (Aline Silva)

 

Looking back at my predictions, it didn't went so bad as I thought. I predicted 24 medals, we won 19, but more golds than I thought (7 vs. 5). Predicted 10 out of 19 medals, which was kinda bad. Correctly predicted the color of 5 medals (Alison Cerutti/Bruno Schmidt, Martine Grael/Kahena Kunze, Men's Volleyball, Isaquias Queiroz, Mayra Aguiar), which also wasn't great.

 

I predicted some "bold" things like a gold for our Men's Volleyball team + not even a final for the Women's team (predicted bronze, which would be much better than the 5th place we got). Also predicted Women's Beach Volleyball losing in the final, although it was the wrong pair.

We lost four medals that we had thought it would be impossible to lose: Women's Pole Vault, Women's Handball, Women's Judo (Érika Miranda) and Women's indoor Volleyball. As the Games progressed, we lost huge opportunities in Women's Football, Women's Artistic Gymnastics (two medals) and a bronze medal in Women's Beach Volleyball. Brazilian women had a bad year overall. Only Rafaela and Martine/Kahena were able to get a gold medal. Disappointing.

Yes, things were pretty bad in the Women's side, especially in team sports.

 

For the Men's teams, no complaints. It's crazy that we won the trio "Football + Beach Volleyball + Volleyball", as opposed to only 1 silver medal (Beach Volleyball) in Women's.

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
