dcro 10,179 Posted July 6, 2018 #21 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Interesting to point out that India's Fouaad Mirza should be the out-and-out favorite for gold in individual eventing this time around. Equestrian gold for India would indeed be quite exciting. Mirza is quite experienced himself, but it's his horse Seigneur Medicott that is a real game changer. Seigneur Medicott is the horse that scored those ridiculously low 24 penalties (16 in 2018 rules) in dressage with Bettina Hoy at the last year's Europeans... #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand will win lots of golds with these new sports. Pencak Silat alone will give 7-8 gold medals to Indonesia and probably 3-4 to Thailand. and Thailand is pretty good in Paragliding. so I think Thailand has a good chance to even challenge Kazakhstan for 4th place. Thailand is also good in women's martial arts. and now China is banned. Thailand will also dominate the women's weightlifting. and Sambo and Kurash will give so many gold medals to Central Asian countries. Kurash is the national sport of Uzbekistan. for example these new sports won't be good for you guys in India, I might be wrong but I can't see any gold medal for India in all these new sports. and dropping some shooting events will hurt India even more. 1 China 2-3 Korea, Japan 4-5 Kazakhstan, Thailand 6-8 Iran, Indonesia, Uzbekistan 9-11 India, Chinese Taipei, North Korea Nothing lot to disagree because even the government is not expecting a lot besides a few medals in bronzes or silver in some due to luck in martial arts. Athletics is quite good. My prediction could be Athletics : 5 golds Shooting : 3 golds Boxing : 1gold Archery: 1 gold Weightlifting : 1 gold Hockey :1 gold Squash :1 gold Wrestling : 1gold Kabaddi : 2 gold Gymnastic : 1 gold if Olympic performance is repeated Tennis /Badminton : at least 1 of them will win gold Sepaktakraw - not sure but due to lack of strong teams in men's regu a medal possible Around 16-18 golds Many others may just win medals due to less competitors but not golds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But IOA initially disqualified many sports from Asian games citing poor Olympic chances but now they could give a nod to equestrian after lots of drama.

MHSN 3,180 Posted August 1, 2018 #30 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Iranian sport federations are announcing their rosters for the Games and it seems we are bringing everything we have to the competition ! I can say the only sport we are not sending the best possible team is football. while this is an U23 tournament (plus 3 Over 23) we are sending U21 team . some other countries do the same while South Korea will even bring Son Heung-min ! obviously he wants to win the gold to avoid military service. the same rules exist in Iran too. that's why we are sending our A volleyball team only few days before the World Championship. which will ruin Iran's chance to get good result in the Worlds but it seems some players wanted to play here for that reason. even in Handball we are bringing all available players. even our European-based players will join the team after the 1st round. Still I'm not really optimistic about the Games. two of our top sports (Wrestling and Taekwondo) aren't in good situation. last time in Incheon we won almost half of our gold medals in these two sports (6 wrestling, 4 Taekwondo) but this year I don't expect more than half of that from these 2 ! even though they made some change in wrestling squad , gives me a bit more hope. also in Karate there were a bit controversy about the team selection. they are sending bigger names here not necessarily the best athletes. btw while we are expecting something around 20 gold medals but I believe 3 of our athletes are very strong candidates for the gold. I have to say 99% sure they will win the gold. two of our Olympic Champions Sohrab Moradi (Weightlifting) and Hassan Yazdani (Wrestling) plus our discus thrower Ehsan Haddadi.
