OlympicsFan 776 Posted August 7, 2016 #14 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Australia looking very good, nice to see that they at least get some reward for all the tax money they blow. I think they might finish 3rd in medal table ahead of GB, Russia, Japan, New Zealand and South Korea. Which other nations will make the top 10? I think it will be France and Germany/Cuba/Hungary. Possible gold medals for Australia: Fox, Glaetzer (sprint), Meares (keirin), mens team pursuit, Willoughby, Buchanan, eventing individual, eventing team, mens field hockey, Brennan, Belcher/Ryan, Nathan/Outteridge, Burton, Willett, Scanlan/Skinner, McEvoy (100 free), Horton (1500 free), Larkin (100/200 back), mens 4x100 relay, Campbell (50/100 free), Seebohm (100/200 back), womens medley relay, womens rugby. I think in the end they will win at least 15 golds, lets see if that will be enough for 3rd place in medal table. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moldovanmickey 4 Posted August 7, 2016 #15 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Rather than concentrate on the medals table, which only tells part of the story of the games, I thought a more interesting way of looking at how countries are doing is to create a points table, whereby 8 points are earned for a gold, 7 for a silver, 6 for a bronze, 5 for a 4th place and so on down to 1 for an 8th place. After day 1 and 12 events here are the results are so far. Where there is a tie for places, for example in Judo where two bronze medals, two fifth places and two 7th places are awarded, points are split accordingly, hence the .5 in certain totals. I shall try and update this daily. Doubtless there'll be some back-dated amendments to be made in view of potential disqualifications. 1 USA 56.0 2 China 37.0 3 Japan 34.0 4 Australia 29.0 5 Italy 23.0 6 Korea, Rep 22.5 7 Kazakhstan 17.5 = Hungary 17.5 9 France 17.0 10 Great Britain 15.0 11 Russia 14.0 12 Brazil 13.0 13 Spain 11.0 14 Indonesia 10.0 = Canada 10.0 16 Belgium 8.0 = Vietnam 8.0 = Argentina 8.0 = Thailand 8.0 20 Denmark 7.0 = Netherlands 7.0 22 Poland 6.0 23 Uzbekistan 5.5 24 Germany 5.0 = Slovakia 5.0 = Dominican Rep 5.0 27 Tunisia 4.0 = Sweden 4.0 29 Mongolia 3.5 = Cuba 3.5 = Azerbaijan 3.5 = Georgia 3.5 33 Iran 3.0 34 Croatia 2.0 = South Africa 2.0 = Chinese Taipei 2.0 37 India 1.0 = Ukraine 1.0 Gianlu33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moldovanmickey 4 Posted August 8, 2016 #16 Share Posted August 8, 2016 (edited) Well, I need to go to bed. It's 4.am here in the UK. Here's the standings after 2 days and 26 events. Great Britain move up to 8th after a good night in the pool and Italy are doing very well indeed. Kosovo are above Germany! Who would have thought it? 1 USA 117.0 2 China 77.5 3 Italy 72.0 4 Australia 60.0 5 Japan 56.0 6 Russia 45.5 7 Korea, Rep 43.5 8 Great Britain 42.0 9 Brazil 34.5 10 Canada 33.5 11 France 25.0 12 Kazakhstan 24.5 13 Hungary 22.5 14 Spain 19.0 = Sweden 19.0 16 Chinese Taipei 16.0 17 Netherlands 15.0 18 Thailand 14.0 19 Indonesia 12.0 = Vietnam 12.0 21 Uzbekistan 11.0 = Belgium 11.0 23 Poland 9.0 = Mexico 9.0 = South Africa 9.0 26 Argentina 8.0 = Kosovo 8.0 = Denmark 8.0 29 Dominican Rep 7.5 30 Germany 7.0 = New Zealand 7.0 = Philippines 7.0 = Korea, DPR 7.0 34 Greece 6.0 35 Slovakia 5.0 36 Mongolia 5.0 = Latvia 5.0 = Tunisia 4.0 39 Egypt 4.0 = India 4.0 = Malaysia 4.0 42 Cuba 3.5 = Azerbaijan 3.5 = Georgia 3.5 = Slovenia 3.5 46 Iran 3.0 47 Colombia 3.0 = Croatia 2.0 = Serbia 2.0 50 Romania 1.5 = Mauritius 1.5 52 Ukraine 1.0 = Switzerland 1.0 = Albania 1.0 Edited August 8, 2016 by moldovanmickey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moldovanmickey 4 Posted August 9, 2016 #17 Share Posted August 9, 2016 And here's how it stands after Day 3, and 40 events. Great Britain have move up one place, narrowly missing out on three bronzes, winning two, but gaining points nonetheless. Russia has moved up three places and there's some welcome entries from Pacific countries at the foot of the table. Germany will start motoring shortly, surely? 1 USA 181.5 2 China 117.0 3 Russia 92.0 4 Italy 91.0 5 Japan 90.5 6 Australia 76.0 7 Great Britain 69.0 8 Canada 49.0 9 Brazil 46.5 10 Korea, Rep 43.5 11 France 42.5 12 Hungary 39.5 13 Kazakhstan 30.5 14 Thailand 29.0 15 Chinese Taipei 25.5 16 Spain 21.0 = Indonesia 21.0 18 Sweden 19.0 = Ukraine 19.0 20 Germany 17.0 21 Belgium 16.5 22 South Africa 16.0 23 Netherlands 15.0 24 Mexico 14.0 = New Zealand 14.0 26 Colombia 13.0 27 Vietnam 12.0 = Denmark 12.0 = Mongolia 12.0 = Egypt 12.0 = Croatia 12.0 32 Uzbekistan 11.0 33 Dominican Rep 10.5 = Azerbaijan 10.5 35 Poland 9.0 = India 9.0 = Georgia 9.0 38 Argentina 8.0 = Kosovo 8.0 40 Philippines 7.0 = Korea, DPR 7.0 = Tunisia 7.0 43 Greece 6.0 = Romania 6.0 45 Portugal 5.5 46 Slovakia 5.0 = Latvia 5.0 = Czech Republic 5.0 = Ecuador 5.0 50 Malaysia 4.0 51 Cuba 3.5 = Slovenia 3.5 = Israel 3.5 54 Iran 3.0 = Belarus 3.0 = Iceland 3.0 = Papua New Guinea 3.0 58 Serbia 2.0 = Lithuania 2.0 60 Mauritius 1.5 61 Switzerland 1.0 = Albania 1.0 = IOA (Kuwait) 1.0 = Fiji 1.0 = Jamaica 1.0 = Samoa 1.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intoronto 4,071 Posted August 9, 2016 #18 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Interesting, pretty much the world's biggest economies are up at the top minus India (predictable) but interesting trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moldovanmickey 4 Posted August 10, 2016 #19 Share Posted August 10, 2016 So Day 4, and only 251 events left to go. France and Hungary have replaced South Korea and Brazil in the top ten, and there's been some other shuffling of the positions in the upper part of the list. Germany have moved up 17 places in two days after success in the 3 day event and women's pistol shooting. Moldova make their debut at joint 64th, but a former judoka of theirs has also earned the UAE their fist points (and medal). Notable absentee of the day from the list: Finland. Admittedly, the cross-country skiing doesn't take place until 2018... 1 USA 243.0 2 China 158.0 3 Japan 130.5 4 Russia 117.0 5 Australia 109.0 6 Italy 102.5 7 Great Britain 95.0 8 France 84.5 9 Hungary 62.5 10 Canada 59.5 11 Brazil 54.0 12 Korea, Rep 51.5 13 Germany 49.0 14 Kazakhstan 36.5 15 Thailand 29.0 16 Sweden 28.0 17 Netherlands 27.5 18 Chinese Taipei 25.5 19 Mexico 25.0 20 New Zealand 24.0 21 Colombia 23.0 22 Spain 22.0 23 Indonesia 21.0 = South Africa 21.0 = Korea, DPR 21.0 26 Ukraine 19.0 27 Belgium 18.5 28 Georgia 15.5 29 Denmark 15.0 30 Slovenia 14.5 31 Egypt 14.0 = Greece 14.0 = Switzerland 14.0 34 Vietnam 12.0 = Mongolia 12.0 = Croatia 12.0 = Slovakia 12.0 38 Uzbekistan 11.0 = Malaysia 11.0 40 Dominican Rep 10.5 = Azerbaijan 10.5 42 Czech Republic 10.0 43 Poland 9.0 = India 9.0 = Israel 9.0 46 Argentina 8.0 = Kosovo 8.0 48 Philippines 7.0 = Tunisia 7.0 = Turkey 7.0 51 Romania 6.0 = Kyrgyzstan 6.0 53 Portugal 5.5 = UAE 5.5 55 Latvia 5.0 = Ecuador 5.0 57 Cuba 4.5 58 Albania 4.0 59 Iran 3.0 = Belarus 3.0 = Iceland 3.0 = Papua New Guinea 3.0 63 Bulgaria 2.5 64 Serbia 2.0 = Lithuania 2.0 = Moldova 2.0 67 Mauritius 1.5 = Austria 1.5 69 IOA (Kuwait) 1.0 70 Fiji 1.0 = Jamaica 1.0 = Samoa 1.0 = Ireland 1.0 = Estonia 1.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
