Dragon 1,691 Posted August 11, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 11, 2018 (edited) Inspired by Jakob Ingebrigtsen I thought I'd start a thread where people discuss young sportspeople from their countries we could see doing well at the Olympics of 2024 onwards. Maybe restricted to sportsmen/sportswomen under 20 years old. Post your suggestions on who will be the stars of Paris onwards.

If so, then here is the list for Germany: - Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

intoronto 4,202 Posted August 12, 2018 #5 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Taylor Ruck, swimming, can see her breaking the record of most medals by a Canadian at a single Olympics (currently 5 by speed skater Cindy Klassen). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NearPup 2,156 Posted August 12, 2018 #6 Share Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) Does winter sports count? Kelly Sildaru is 16. She could have won two gold medals in Pyeongchang if she didn’t get injured during the qualification period. If she is healthy in 2022 or 2026 she will be a serious gold medal threat in the women’s ski slopestyle, half-pipe and big air.

I remember her, for a Dutch website I already wrote something about that 6.57m in January last year http://frontpage.fok.nl/nieuws/757154/1/1/50/14-jarige-verspringster-maakt-indruk-met-supersprong.html De_Gambassi 1 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!

hckošice 13,217 Posted August 12, 2018 #10 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Nothing for Slovakia... The last biggest super talent was ofc Peter Sagan. Now apart a couple of Ice hockey players we have probably worth to be mentioned one girl (I already mentioned her here and there in the forum) Jessica Triebeľová in Boxing, thanks god, her parents somehow found an agreement with our federation and other our structures in order of better funding her career and thus she definitely refused the Azerbaijani offer and will stay and compete for Slovakia. Jessica Triebeľová 3 times Junior European Champion in a row. in fact she is 3 years still undefeated. Apparently some experts and peoples involved in Boxing are saying about her like a immense talent and are really enthusiastic especially about her technique. so let see in the future, maybe we will have some interesting results in this sport. She is already dreaming about Tokyo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
