Associated Press 11 7 11 29
Gracenote* 8 9 3 20
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...

    • People keep keep saying that Trump is Hitler reincarnated, but all these Day 1 proposals are sensible & unifying.   https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=08IIenrXCRQ     NB video is a parody.  
    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons  
    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons  
    • More AI visualizations of the venues.         
    • I can count for you, but what I will say is that I don't think it was a lot. 
    • Off-topic, when I lived in Beijing there was a park across the street that had all the 2022 pictograms along its fence on the street. They were big and lit up at night. It was really cool, especially because the 2022 pictograms were very unique and creative. 
    • They're not very creative or unique to Italy/Milano, but like others have said, at least they're understandable unlike Paris. These are very generic, though. 
    • National law and sport rules are completely different. Like, there's a law in Canada that if you punch someone in the face you will get charged with battery. But if you're playing hockey and do it, you'll only get 5 minutes in a penalty box. Japan only recognizes gender at birth and this was not an issue in 2020(1).    Any law Trump and the Republicans pass can only apply to governmental organizations, i.e. school competitions. Private sport events, like the NHL, MLB and the Olympics, can still decided who can and cannot participate in what events. If the NHL wants a female goaltender to play, they can do that tomorrow if they want. If the IOC decides Semenya can participate in the female category, then that's their right as a private entity. I'm sure Hitler wasn't happy that Jews, black people and other groups were allowed to participate in 1936, either.    Of course, I've been saying for a long time they should do away with "male" and "female" categories and just have "Over/Under X amount of testosterone" categories. 
    • Yeah, if they have all their FTA* live streams on one page, announced in advance, life will be easier. Before you had to sub to about 7 or 8 YT channels to.know what was on every week.   But the results/events Page is also easier, because previously they used to mix up World Cup & say, Balkan Cup events together.
    • UWW's new rules for change of nationality   this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more.    still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1.    some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament. I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too . https://cdn.uww.org/2024-11/change_of_nationality_regulation_eng_oct2024_final.pdf also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.   it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW.
