Oh I'm not criticising your predictions but such an outcome would be a colossal failure from their perspective. Medal table based on your predictions:

Could be a risk not peaking at trials and holding that taper until Paris. But then again, I do not see any 3rd Australian challenging, therefore Short could still go 3.45 and still take the second spot. As for the Women's 100M Free at the trials,they all need to be at their peak!

Sorry I missed that

@Topicmaster1010 already included that!

Which events would the US likely win that I haven't listed? Maybe Dressel could back to form but that's a huge IF,based on his situation over the past 3 years Regan Smith maybe,but Kaylee doesn't show any signs of losing to anyone. Summer will take "normal" US Golds as will Marchand. Could be tough for the US

That’s fair, he looked very ordinary (by his insanely high standards) through the back end of 2023. Still young, as is Matt - I think you’re going to have to go 1 43 in Paris to win.

I think Qin is an absolute beast over 200 when you look at his stroke. Over 100 though I do wonder if he has the capability to get down to a low 57 which I think is what it will take to beat Adam. Either way it’ll be a fascinating race to watch, especially the story behind Adam’s comeback is compelling.

Actually,I think you are right Peaty is the best chance for GB and Qin could burst or bust.

USA ALWAYS rise up for the Olympics,but I think its clear that both Australia and China will challenge them. If China flop,then the USA will no doubt take full advantage especially on the Men's side.

Maybe Winnington could get it at Aussie trials but Short will probably not peak until Paris.

Popovici has been looking more like his 2022 self so far this season.

There'd be a lot of American tears if this happened.

Hopefully it's a Whitlock style situation and mainly precautionary.

I think from what we have seen over the past 12 months, Popovici should certainly not have the favourite tag for the 200. It’s a very open event, I think I’d want to be with Richards but I’m biased being British. As for the 200 IM. It’s stacked. Duncan getting close to the BR at trials in a very quick time makes me feel confident he is going to show up at the games. i can’t wait, just been notified my tickets for one of the finals nights is in the fan section (which i interpret as being with noisy crazy other fans!) so that should be lots of fun 🤣 ps. britains best chance for an individual win might well actually be Peaty. It’s a 2 man race and depending on Qin’s form it may look like a toss up by the time we get to Paris. Peaty continuing to improve and clocked a 57.9 at British trials. The 200m free by its nature is open so chances of a win can’t get up to 50% I doubt even though we have two bullets to fire!

It could go before Paris

Yukio Kasaya - 1972 Olympic Champion in ski jumping passed away at the age of 80.

Aa I mentioned,it will change over the next few months.Only GB have had their trials and plenty of swimming to be done before Paris. For the 200M IM, Marchand Wang Casas have all been quicker over the past 18 months that Duncan Scott's best 200IM time. Thats why he is just off my list. As for the 200m Free, If Popovici gets anywhere near the levels we know he can,no one will beat him He still 19? The 200m Free is easily the Brits best chance for an individual win, but there is so many current swimmers in the 1.44 range now 1.44s Dean Scott Richards Hwang Pan Martans Guilliani Hobson.

Looking forward to watch sports where we have a good chance of winning a medal: - Athletics - Boxing - Gymnastics (Artistic) - Weightlifting and of course, Basketball 5x5 because of Team USA and Luka Doncic

@Esterr24 Why do you keep making new accounts?

There were protests but they weren't "mass protests".

+1 For Olivia L in the race walk team relay

No individual medal for Duncan Scott would seem unlikely to me. Could see him getting a minor medal in the 200 IM and to be honest he could win the 200 free, him and Matt’s race at trials was phenomenally close.

Man the women’s team is snake bitten. With a fully fit squad they could have really challenged in Paris. The more things progress the more likely it seems that either Gadirova sister will make it back in time. At least on the socials the recovery of Jess seems to be going well, just don’t think they are targeting Paris.
