Ummm, not to burst your bubble, but i'm fairly certain that China is going to choose the 87+.  They are much more prone in the lighter women's weights, unlike the men and have it safer on the heavier ones.

But China may not put an athlete in this category. Only in this case Nastya has a chance

Well, as always something between Zero and Six.

 

Fantastic Olympics = 6 medals

Disastrous Olympics = 0 medals

 

Anything between them is realistic.

 

Hopefully we will win some and hopefully also some gold(s) So far we did not win Gold at Summer Olympics since the independence only in London 2012.

 

 

If I had to pick our eventual chances for gold I would pick obviously M Canoe Slalom C1 and Mixed Trap Teams. but you know, how it is. the two most unpredictable sports, where everything can happen and change at any second

 

Obviously Canoe Slalom is and will be again our phare sport, I already see myself looking for another TV channels to watch something else, since our TV will again spend more than 50% of its coverage with only speaking from the canoe slalom studio...

 

Well. A bit more specific for Denmark. Medal chances per sport (at a moment where I can only consider the shape of very few athletes):

 

Archery: 0-1

Badminton: 1-3
Canoeing - sprint: 2
Cycling - BMX racing: 1
Cycling - Mountain Bike: 1
Cycling - Road: 1-3
Cycling - Track: 5
Equestrian - dressage: 1-2
Golf: 0-4
Handball: 1
Rowing: 1-2
Sailing: 4
Shooting: 1-6
Swimming: 1
Wrestling: 0-1

 

Usually we get a medal per 3-4 chances, however in Rio the rate of succes was quite a bit higher (I think I had 36 medal chances (and missed a couple of the medalists) back then).  

What are your thoughts @Wumo?

:CAN

 

Athletics: 3

Basketball: 1 (women's)

Swimming: 6

Judo: 1 or 2

Canoeing: 1 or 2 depending on getting second quota in women canoeing

Rowing: 2

Diving: 2

Wrestling: 1

Gymnastics: 1-2

Taekwondo: 1

Softball: 1

All other sports: 1-2

 

20 to 24

 

 

Well, Lithuania usually wins between 4-5 medals

 

Probable medal chances are:

 

Danas Rapšys 200m/400m Freestyle

Laura Asadauskaitė or Gintarė Venčkauskaitė for Modern Pentathlon

Andrius Gudžius for Discus Throw

Women's double sculls

 

Outside chances:

 

Men's double sculls

Canoeing (if anyone from Lithuania even qualifies)

Simona Krupeckaitė in Keirin or Sprint

 

I'm leaning more towards 4 medals though. 

:BRA

 

Brazil chances by sport:

 

Atletics: 1 - 3

Boxing: 1 - 3

Canoeing: 1 - 3

Cycling: 1

Equestrian: 1 - 2

Fencing: 1

Football: 2

Gym: 1 - 5 (depending of Rebeca Andrade Qualification)

Judo: 1 - 3

Karate: 1

Sailing: 1 - 3

Skateboarding: 1 - 6

Surfing: 1 - 4

Swimming: 1 - 3

Table Tenis: 1

Taekwondo: 1 - 3

Tenis: 1

Volleyball: 1 - 6

Weightlifting: 1

Wrestling: 1

 

 

I think we will beat our medal record (19) but not de gold records (7)

 

I bet in 20 - 24 medals

I really hope we can reach the 25 medal record we set in Sydney 2000, considering the recent success in (track) cycling, sailing and rowing among others. That's probably optimistic, but over 20 medals should be a realistic goal.

 

I'll try a sport-by-sport overview with best and worst case guesses tonight. @CCB and @heywoodu will probably be able to correct me on many sports though.

Actually, I stopped making predictions, because as we see today in rowing, everything always turns out differently than expected. But if I can make a prediction, below my ideas for the sports where :NED competes:

 

Archery: maybe 1 (men's team)

Artistic gymnastics: 0

Athletics: 1 (Hassan)

Beachvolleyball: 0

Boxing: 1 (Fontijn)

Cycling BMX: 1 (men)

Cycling MTB: 1 (men)

Cycling Road: 2 (women, however I expect Dygert for two golds)

Cycling Track: 4 (based on nothing, because March 2020 was the last Championship - men's sprint 2x, teamsprint, omnium)

Diving: 0

Equestrian: 0

Fencing: 0

Football: 0

Handball: 0

Hockey: 1 (women)

Judo: 2 (-70 women Polling, -90 men Van 't End)

Marathon swimming: 1 (van Rouwendaal)

Rowing: 5 (LW2x, W4x, W4-, M2x, M4x)

Sailing: 3 (470 women, RSX men, 49 er FX women)

Swimming: 1 (200 breast)

Tennis: 0

Waterpolo: 0

 

Around 20-25 medals, 5-6 golds

 

If the Games were in 2020 we would have won gold "for sure" :mumble:in three rowing events, but today it turned out that other countries have improved a lot! Same for track cycling: we were unbeatable in the sprint disciplines, but maybe this year everything changed.

 

 

 

I'll predict 3 for Ireland - one gold (O'donovan/McCarthy in lightweight double sculls in rowing)

 

Somewhat realistic chances in rowing, equestrian sport, gymnastics, sailing and boxing. Outside chances in a few other sports.

Are you joking, I don't see Netherlands with less than 12 or 13 gold and 40 medals....

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
    • If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?
    • I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups. 
    • If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great
    • Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
    • Just another reason why it's super dumb that the NOC max in freestyle skiing isn't 40.
    • In rugby there's More Squidge Rugby (the main channel has proper videos).
