Masatora Kawano who?

He is the NR holder with 3:36:something, and yes he is considered as the main favorite in Sapporo.

 

but again this event may end in completely different way. until the 30th-35th kilometer of the race it is impossible to even start predicting the winner

Nice to see someone in this planet predicting gold for Sagan

 

3 golds is unrealistic, we won 3 golds during a single olympic edition only once, in Beijing (all 3 in canoe slalom, 2 of them in some 30 minutes lol)

Looks like all these predictions we can find online are really stupid.

 

We have to do it by ourselves ;-)

He may be a medal contender for sure, but honestly I do not think Alex or any other european will be capable to beat the home starters Kawano & Suzuki

1 of the Indian predictions went wrong already as one of the medallist acc to them didn't make the squad. 8 shooting medals!! 

 

Happy they didn't give medal to badminton. Not deserving.

 

Double gold in wrestling! In both events Japan is No 1 so did the Japanese get covid or injured this year that they gave us the gold. 3 bronze in women's boxing sounds a lot. 

 

P. S : If no injury or covid this Saturday we could rubber stamp an Olympic Gold.

Which is why the damn World Athletics idiots should keep their dirty hands off of the majestic hours of glory that is the 50km  

 

No Diniz and no Toth anymore nowadays? Like I said, I'm a little out of touch with athletics due to the lack of big events lately

But historical results mean nothing since it's the current Olympics, not the past ones  

 

Which Slovaks have at least a not unrealistic chance for gold? For example Sagan so far recently wouldn't be considered much of a favourite, but he's also Sagan and one would be blind to not at least keep an eye on him

You know that I agree 50km + Canoe Slalom C2 & K4-1000m removal were almost a criminal act from IOC

 

oh Tóth should do well, no worries, his trainings are just unbelievable, himself saying he is feeling better than it was before the Beijing WCh..., but I do not want to say more, because you know jinx etc...  so yeah JPN boys are the top favs
