Yeah, it's usually the other way about.... more silvers and bronze but not many golds. This time they are getting golds but not many other medals.

OlympicsFan 783 Posted August 18, 2016 #52 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Spain has crazy good results in Rio. Was there any event where Spain was favorite (except for womens 200 m fly)? Now they have already 5 gold medals (out of only 8 medals in total). I guess they are in the top 3 of most overperforming countries.

Carolina Marin is among the favourites in women's singles badminton but not THE favourite as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlympicsFan 783 Posted August 18, 2016 #54 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Congrats to GB, they have a great diversity, despite what many people say. They are inexistant in most team sports, but they know which sports should be funded if they want to win as many medals as possible. Germany should do the same, dropping sports like water polo, badminton, modern pentathlon, triathlon, rhythmic gymnastics, synchronised swimming, weightlifting or trampoline.

Muguruza/Nadal also might have been the favorites, after Federer/Hingis had to whitdraw. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Andry84 76 Posted August 18, 2016 #56 Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) In which percentage the greatest favourites win gold medal?Spain has 8 medals and in 7 of these they were among the best 5 in that discipline, only Walz is a surprise, and when you are one of the best you can win gold.
