(I don't put the 200m in this list, because Pellegrini could come back and make her cry once again )... How old will Pellegrine be by then? Must be around 40. I think not winning her 40th gold medal at world championships by losing to Pellegrini wasnt something that gave Ledecky nightmares. Where exactly was Pellegrini at the last two olympics?

Hasn't been beaten in this event since the heats at the 2012 Olympics but won when it counted. Looking beyond NZ I don't think you can go past the US men and womens Basketball teams. They could send US D teams and still win. Of course USA in basketball is the biggest favorite, but saying that they could win with a D team on the mens side is probably a bit exaggerated.

I mean, sure Barshim and Samba and Manyonga have real chances to win gold, but they're not athletes in an event where one could say 'He basically can't lose!' (Samba can trip over a hurdle, high jump and long jump are rather sensitive for foul jumps). Different than for example a rowing event where a certain boat is absolutely dominant, it's not like it's realistic for this boat to suddenly sink in the Olympic final If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

rafalgorka 1,369 Posted July 29, 2018 #39 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Yes, I understand the question correctly, but what I wrote is a kind of provocation, just to make this discussion more interesting. Because, honestly, it's a bit boring right now ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
