Chinese Taipei will finish 2nd in women's team and mixed, Netherlands will be 2nd in men's team. There will be a 1 2 3 korean ranking in either men's or women's but not both after ranking round. Some unexpected country will be in top 16 of mixed team. Eg : North Korea, Bangladesh ( if they qualify a woman ) etc. Here are my predictions for day 0, July 24th 2020 https://tokyo2020.org/en/schedule/20200724-schedule OPENING CEREMONY WHO WILL BE YOUR COUNTRY'S FLAG BEARER? Maja Włoszczowska - Cycling MTB - two times olympic silver medalists. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maja_Włoszczowska a huge star in Poland, a very nice person her race is on Tuesday 28th, so she will already be in Tokyo and she will have few days to rest and prepare before she has her competition WHO WILL LIT THE OLYMPIC CAULDRON? I think it will be a group of young sportsmen and sportswomen who survived earthquake, tsunami and Fukushima reactor catastrophy. No names here. WILL THE CEREMONY BE INTERESTING OR BORING? It will be very interesting, one of the best ever. And I know I am in minority here - but i really LOVE parade of the nations. It is not boring for me at all. For me it can last even two hours. Looking for sport stars in every nation, all the familiar faces, checking out who has the best clothing and so... I LOVE IT. and: ARCHERY – Women’s Individual Ranking Round ARCHERY – Men’s Individual Ranking Round https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archery_at_the_2020_Summer_Olympics_–_Qualification I am not into archery actually. I don't know much about it. So I find predictions given by Fly_like_a_don very accurate, Thank you! So And there are heats in rowing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rowing_at_the_2020_Summer_Olympics_–_Qualification These are only heats so I will focus on Polish rowers only.

rafalgorka 1,362 Posted April 5, 2020 Author #42 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Let;s pretend this is day 1, July 25th 2020 https://tokyo2020.org/en/schedule/20200725-schedule SO THINGS ARE GETTING SERIOUS NOW!!! It is day 1, everybody is still talking about the breathtaking opening ceremony last night. But the games are starting and a lot of action is going on. This is too much to put it in one post. So from day 1 I will divide every day into a few posts, starting from the disciplines I like the most and I hope my predictions will be more accurate or starting from the sports which are easy to write about. Let's go! What are your predictions for: VOLLEYBALL - Men's Tournament https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volleyball_at_the_2020_Summer_Olympics_–_Men's_tournament Pool A ITALY - CANADA JAPAN - VENEZUELA POLAND - IRAN Pool B BRAZIL - TUNISIA RUSSIA - ARGENTINA UNITED STATES - FRANCE General questions: 1. Will Russia start under its own flag? As a Russian Federation team? 2. https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1080455/fivb-calls-for-polands-kubiak-to-apologise-after-being-suspended-for-anti-iranian-remarks How the POLAND - IRAN match will look like? Will it be played fair? In Rio Poland won 3-2 but after the last point there were very sad situations on the pitch. I hope they will not repeat this time. FOOTBALL - Women's Tournament teams with * haven't qualified yet group A JAPAN - SWEDEN NEW ZEALAND - CANADA group B UNITED STATES - CHINA* GREAT BRITAIN - CHILE* group C NETHERLANDS - AUSTRALIA BRAZIL - ZAMBIA general question: how the USA - CHINA match will look like? It is the first USA - CHINA clash in these games. These two nations will probably be 1 and 2 in medal table, so it is very interesting. TENNIS - Men's Singles https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennis_at_the_2020_Summer_Olympics_–_Qualification I used the qualifying criteria from wiki. I only didn't use the rule which mentions Davis Cup starts and so, this was too difficult for me. So Top 56 from ATP rankings, (only 4 players from one National Olympic Committee (NOC)), 6 continental places, Andy Murray ;-) and one from Japan. Then I made a draw ;-) And on day 1 only the top half is playing (from Djokovic to Medvedev). What are your predictions? SRB Novak Djokovic (1) - GEO Nikoloz Basilashvili CRO Borna Coric - MDA Radu Albot ESP Albert Ramos-Vinolas - KAZ Alexander Bublik JPN Yoshihito Nishioka – CAN Denis Shapovalov (16) FRA Gael Monfils (9) – EGY Mohamed Safwat CHI Tomas Barrios – ARG Guido Pella SRB Dusan Lajovic - GER Jan-Lennard Struff ITA Lorenzo Sonego – ITA Matteo Berrettini (8) SUI Roger Federer (4) – GBR Kyle Edmund JPN Yuichi Sugita – SRB Filip Krajinovic CRO Marin Cilic – ARG Juan Ignacio Londero CAN Felix Auger-Aliassime – ARG Diego Schwartman (13) ESP Roberto Bautista Agut (12) – NOR Casper Ruud BUL Grigor Dimitrov – URU Pablo Cuevas SUI Stan Wawrinka – AUS Alex de Minaur AUS Nick Kyrgios – RUS Daniil Medvedev (5) GRE Stefanos Tsitsipas (6) – USA Sam Querrey FRA Benoit Paire – POL Hubert Hurkacz CZE Jiri Vesely – SWE Mikael Ymer FRA Adrian Mannarino – ITA Fabio Fognini (11) RUS Andrey Rublev (14) – USA Reilly Opelka AUS John Millman – SRB Miomir Kecmanovic USA Taylor Fritz – AUS Jordan Thompson BRA Joao Menezes – AUT Dominic Thiem (3) GER Alexander Zverev (7) – GBR Andy Murray CHI Christian Garin – POR Joao Sousa FRA Ugo Humbert – SLO Aljaz Bedene UZB Denis Istomin – BEL David Goffin (10) RUS Karen Khachanov (15) – ESP Pablo Carrena Busta CAN Milos Raonic – JPN Kei Nishikori PNG Matthew Stubbings – USA John Isner GBR Daniel Evans – ESP Rafael Nadal (2) More still to come :-) Have a good Sunday, olympic freaks ;-) Stay healthy, stay home! bmo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Russia start under its own flag? As a Russian Federation team? Yes, they will. I am personally against any kind of collective responsibility. I think the sportsmen and sportswomen who never had personally any problems with doping should be able to start, So 12 clean volleyball players from Russia should play as Russia. Maria Lasitskene got robbed in Rio, I like Ruth Beitia very much, but the gold medal should go to Lasitskene, if she had competed, she would have won it IMHO. In Tokyo Lasitskene should be able to start and still will be a main favourite. Anyway, Russia will appeal their ban to CAS and I am pretty sure that they will be successfull in their appeal. On the other hand, I think there should be a rule made by IOC that a spotsmen who violated antidoping rules should be banned from olympics for lifetime. E.g. Justin Gatin may get few years ban from IAAF and then he can start in the World Champs. But he will never start in olympics anymore, I couldn't stand looking at Rio 2016 - Yelena Isinbayeva couldn't compete. But Yuliya Yefimova could swim. It didn't make any sense. So when I will be making my predictions here (for medals), I always put a question mark on a sportsmen who IMHO shoudn't participate at all. 2. https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1080455/fivb-calls-for-polands-kubiak-to-apologise-after-being-suspended-for-anti-iranian-remarks How the POLAND - IRAN match will look like? Will it be played fair? In Rio Poland won 3-2 but after the last point there were very sad situations on the pitch. I hope they will not repeat this time. Oh, it will be a tough match for Poland. But what I like the most, is that after the game there will be no more scenes like Rio. Everybody will behave and act normal. Even Michał Kubiak. After POL-IRI clash, a great game USA-FRA. US will not be able to stop N'Gapeth for 4 sets but in the 5th they will finally find a way to do it. Great games POL-IRI and FRA-USA starting from 7.40 pm Tokyo time and two 5-setters in the row, so it will end at 1 p.m. or sth. A nice start for a volleyball tournament. FOOTBALL - Women's Tournament teams with * haven't qualified yet group A JAPAN - SWEDEN 2-1 NEW ZEALAND - CANADA 1-3 1. Japan 6 4-1 2. Canada 4 4-2 3. Sweden 1 2-3 4.

It is the first USA - CHINA clash in these games. These two nations will probably be 1 and 2 in medal table, so it is very interesting. YES, IT WILL BE A GREAT GAME. 2-2 and then in 90th minute a free kick for USA will win the game. A very tense game, and then Megan Rapinoe and her interviews ;-) TENNIS - Men's Singles https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennis_at_the_2020_Summer_Olympics_–_Qualification And on day 1 only the top half is playing (from Djokovic to Medvedev). What are my predictions? SRB Novak Djokovic (1) - GEO Nikoloz Basilashvili 2-0 CRO Borna Coric - MDA Radu Albot 2-0 ESP Albert Ramos-Vinolas - KAZ Alexander Bublik 2-1 JPN Yoshihito Nishioka – CAN Denis Shapovalov (16) 0-2 FRA Gael Monfils (9) – EGY Mohamed Safwat 2-0 CHI Tomas Barrios – ARG Guido Pella 0-2 SRB Dusan Lajovic - GER Jan-Lennard Struff 1-2 ITA Lorenzo Sonego – ITA Matteo Berrettini (8) 0-2 SUI Roger Federer (4) – GBR Kyle Edmund 2-0 JPN Yuichi Sugita – SRB Filip Krajinovic 1-2 CRO Marin Cilic – ARG Juan Ignacio Londero 0-2 CAN Felix Auger-Aliassime – ARG Diego Schwartman (13) 2-0 ESP Roberto Bautista Agut (12) – NOR Casper Ruud 1-2 BUL Grigor Dimitrov – URU Pablo Cuevas 2-1 SUI Stan Wawrinka – AUS Alex de Minaur 2-0 AUS Nick Kyrgios – RUS Daniil Medvedev (5) 1-2 KYRGIOS-MEDVEDEV will be the first big scandal of the games. Kyrgios wins first set and plays fantastic, then a very close second set which Medvedev wins in a tie-break. In third Medvedev breaks for 3-2 and then KYRGIOS implodes heavily. He can;t behave and he can't lose. He breaks all the rules on how to behave on the court. And I must say Medvedev is not much better, like in US OPEN 2019. Anyway, Medvedev wins 6-2 in 3rd set, Kyrgios doesn't shake hands and at the end behaves badly against public and goes home. ITF and ATP are thinking about excluding him from Tour for some time. Tomorrow second half will be playing: GRE Stefanos Tsitsipas (6) – USA Sam Querrey FRA Benoit Paire – POL Hubert Hurkacz CZE Jiri Vesely – SWE Mikael Ymer FRA Adrian Mannarino – ITA Fabio Fognini (11) RUS Andrey Rublev (14) – USA Reilly Opelka AUS John Millman – SRB Miomir Kecmanovic USA Taylor Fritz – AUS Jordan Thompson BRA Joao Menezes – AUT Dominic Thiem (3) GER Alexander Zverev (7) – GBR Andy Murray CHI Christian Garin – POR Joao Sousa FRA Ugo Humbert – SLO Aljaz Bedene UZB Denis Istomin – BEL David Goffin (10) RUS Karen Khachanov (15) – ESP Pablo Carrena Busta CAN Milos Raonic – JPN Kei Nishikori PNG Matthew Stubbings – USA John Isner GBR Daniel Evans – ESP Rafael Nadal (2) More still to come :-) I wonder if you like what I wrote and if you agree with my predictions.

Edit: I guess you only meant teams that actually played at the olympics and not the greatest teams overall? Even in that case i don't know why you named the 2016 brazilian teams, considering that they barely beat a pretty trash german team.

Nooooooo way, him winning the world title was the fluke of all flukes of cycling in the past 10+ years The only one who would have had more of a fluke was Tom Leezer who was less than a kilometer away from the world title in Qatar. Yeah, Tom Leezer of all places. It should also be way too tough for Trentin, but Roglic? Yeah, excellent chance of winning the gold I'd say. As always for Vincenzo Nibali it can be all or nothing, if he has a good day he can give Roglic a run for his money. I'm going to go with gold for Roglic, silver for Alaphilippe and bronze for Nibali. rafalgorka 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!
