At the ACC time trial today, Chris Guiliano swam a 47.49 100m freestyle. That checks in as the 5th fastest American performer of all time. US 4x100m relay in good shape heading into this summer.4 points -
Who is a lock to win a Gold Medal at the Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024

No way Favourite? Of course. Lock...in a sport like climbing where a single slip can end it? No way3 points -
@heywoodu has a point there. This thread should be closed, cause there is no such thing as "lock". 😄2 points

And show must go on. russians filed 3(!) appeals to CAS (from ROC, national skating federation and all the team mebers including Valieva). Their demand: ROC team must be awarded with gold medals... including Kamila Valieva.2 points

Third day of competitions ended earlier due to bad weather. Just Repechage 1 in the water for men and women. No big surprises, apart of Kaspar Hamminga already out. And Bryan Perez who looks didn't compete at this event for some unknown reason. At women's side, I was expecting to see more from Nala Lee . Tomorrow we may have the Repechage 2 and perhaps Round 3 at main round. It'll be interesting to watch, we have some cutthroat heats at this point already.2 points

With the next edition of the Summer Olympics less then 6 months and yes nothing is 100% assured but as this current moment who seems to be winning gold guaranteed in Paris. Swimming Australia Woman 4x100m They smashed the world record at world championships last year in Japan. To put in perspective the fastest split form the USA team which came second was only 0.01 faster then the slowest split Australia had. An Australia B team probably wins gold. Womans 1500m Katie Ledecky No on is within 15 seconds of her enough said.

If Sky Brown does qualify she'll be the first in two different sports since 1992. And, if you discount Fencing/Modern Pentathlon and Swimming/Water Polo doubles, the first to compete in completely different sports since a member of the Greek basketball also threw the javelin in 19521 point -

I don't agree it should be closed because literal locks not existing, of course we can still discuss those who are genuinely seen as 95%+ favourites, because a few of those do exist (didn't synchronised swimming have some of those in the past years, before the Russians got banned, where the result really was basically set in stone?)1 point

Team GB medal hopes - Cycling
mpjmcevoy reacted to Rafa Maciel for a topic
I would tend to agree that 2 & 1 would probably be a fair representation of where GB is in the sport. I do find it surprising that we don't have more female riders in the discipline though - I remember there was a lot of excitement about the event back in 2012 but it doesn't seem to have fed through into increased number of riders at the elite level.1 point -

Argentina is proving again to be the best team in the series. Head and shoulders above the rest. Fiji is still not finding the mojo, they will be strong in Paris no doubt but I feel they will struggle to make the threepeat. For France Dupont will definitely be a X-factor. He already managed to play 14 minutes in the 6th game while being very impacteful both on defensive and offensive ends.1 point

But there is just no way they are anywhere near a 'lock' for gold, with the rise back to the top of the Australians, the Brits who always have something extra at the Olympics and Hoogland who is going down rather than up.1 point

Quotenplätze für OS24
EselTheDonkey reacted to Mecki83 for a topic
Anne Sauer holt den Quotenplatz im Florett-Fechten...heißt aber leider auch, dass es damit gewiss ist, dass die deutschen Florett-Damen um 6 Punkte die Qualifikation für den Team-Wettbewerb verpasst hat. Bis zur Verletzung von Leonie Ebert lagen sie da eigentlich auf Kurs und danach hat es einfach nicht gereicht, um die Polinnen hinter sich zu halten. Im Säbelfechten der Männer sieht es leider auch nicht gut aus...hier sind zwar noch zwei Weltcups offen, aber sie müssten entweder die Italiener oder die Franzosen hinter sich lassen und beides ist nicht wirklich realistisch.1 point -
I don't think so. They didn't win a medal at the World Championships last year, and this year they won gold but had a few narrow wins.1 point

I mostly agree, but I think there’s some areas where you’re underestimatin Canada. Volleyball (-12) - Despite their momentum, I don’t see our women’s volleyball team qualifying. ALSO, it’d take a big upset for us to not qualify a second pairing in women’s beach volleyball, with it being either Pavan/McBain or Bukovec/Bansley at the NORCECA Qualifier. I’d also give a solid chance to Scachter/Dearing. We’d be rooting for Diaz/Alayo and a second American pairing to qualify through the World Rankings to be almost guaranteed, but even if both are there I wouldn’t write us off. Rowing (-10) - I think you’re crazy to think that Canada will qualify 30 (!) athletes in rowing. We’ve been on a decline ever since Tokyo, and I don’t see us coming back from it in time for the Final Qualification Regatta. I’m thinking we qualify in men’s eight and men’s single sculls. Sailing (+1) - ICLA 7 quota through the Final Qualification Regatta. Shooting (+1) - Not exactly sure in which event, but I do think one of our shooters can secure a quota through a Pan American Olympic Qualifier. Lindsay Boddez in women’s trap seems the most likely, but there’s a bunch of events where we’re on the outside looking in (just as easily could fail to win a quota) so I’m not too sure. Boxing (+2) - Way too pessimistic here, Cavanaugh and Delgado have good chances. Tennis (+?) - Not exactly sure how many athletes we’ll qualify, but 3 sounds pretty bleak, even with the state of Canadian tennis at the moment. Andresscu, Shapo, Raonic, Marino all have chances.1 point

Here are my team size predictions as of today, will post Athletics and Swimming separately Archery, 2: 1 M + 1F (one male already qualified, expecting a female qualifier. Would love if the men's team could qualify as well. Artistic Swimming, 8: 8F (already qualified) Badminton, 7: 4 M + 3 F (MS, WS and MD should be safe, the other two are not in qualifying position, but I expect them to qualify. Note: Josephine Wu would qualify in two events) Basketball, 28: 12 M + 16 W (The traditional 5 a side teams have qualified and it would be a major shock if the women's 3x3 team did not qualify. The men have a longshot chance to qualify too. Boxing, 2: 1 M + 1 W Sanford and Thibeault have already qualified and I cannot foresee anyone qualifying. Breaking, 2: 1 M + 1 W Philip Kim has already qualified, and I expect one of the two women in the rankings to join him. Canoeing, 16: 7M + 9 W Right now in Sprint, we have 12 quotas (4 in MK, 5 in WK, and 3 in WC). I suspect we will likely qualify the C2 boat (with Connor Fitzpatrick in it) I also think our K-1 1000 athlete should qualify. Realistically getting the additional quota in MK and WK is unlikely (and probably not necessary. So 15 in Canoe Sprint (7 men and 8 women). For canoe slalom, using the 2023 PAG as a basis for results, Canada would likely only qualify the women's C-1 boat. Cycling, 25: 12M + 13 W In BMX race one woman should qualify, with an outside chance in men's freestyle. Road Cycling: 4 athletes (2 per gender have already qualified). Mountain biking: 1 per gender should qualify (unlikely to get to 2). In track I am expecting a full qualification of 14 athletes (7 per gender), although this is looking bleak atm. Diving, 5: 2 M + 3 W: What a disaster the team had worlds, this will be one of the smallest (if not the smallest) team we have sent. Equestrian, 9: Already qualified max team size. Fencing, 12: 7M + 5 W MF, MS and WF teams should qualify. Expecting 12 athletes for now, with the three aforementioned teams and one qualifier in the other three weapons. Football (soccer), 18: The women have already qualified Golf, 4: 2M + 2 W As per tradition, Canada always qualifies 2 men and 2 women. Gymnastics, 12: 6M + 6W. Both artistic teams and one quota in women's trampoline have been secured. I think Remi Aubin will sneak in and grab a male trampoline quota. Judo, 7: 5M + 2 W: Right now quota tracker has 4 M and 2 W qualifying. However, I expect Julien Frascadore to get into a direct quota, bringing it up to 7 Rowing, 30: 11M + 19 W: Canada has 11 women's quotas right now. Boats that did not qualify and competed at Worlds: M8, MP, MQS, M1 (I think Trevor Jones will rebound and the M8 should qualify) WQS: Finished 10th (9 boats qualify) WDS: Finished 15th (13 boats qualify) WP: Finished 18th (13 boats qualify) WF: Finished 10th (9 boats qualify) Out of those 4, gonna be risky and say both fours boats will qualify, Rugby sevens, 12: 12 W, Cannot see the men qualifying, but on any given day they can surprise. Sailing 6: 2 M and 4 W Canada has 4 boats and 6 sailors qualified. I cannot see any other boats qualifying, though its certainly possible. Shooting 2: 1 M and 1 W quota already secured. Although there have been some promising results, the chances of additional quotas remain low Skateboarding 4: 3 M and 1 W. 4 athletes are currently in qualifying position. No one else is near qualifying. Sport climbing 0: Going to say no one qualifies (but not really familiar here). Surfing 3: 1 M 2 W. Expecting Olin to maintain her qualifying spot, and Young and Brooks to join her. Table tennis 4: 3 M 1 W: The men's team has already qualified and I expect Zhang Mo to join them. Taekwondo 1: 1 W: Skylar Park has already qualified and I don't think anyone else will join here. Tennis 3: 1M 2W. One of the harder sports to predict. Expecting LAF and FAA to qualify in singles, with Dabrowski qualifying in doubles (with LAF). Triathlon 4: 2 M 2 W. Currently projected to qualify 4 athletes, unlikely to qualify anymore. Volleyball 28: 14 M 14 W. Men's indoor team has qualified. The women have the momentum, and I think they will qualify as well. I also expect a men's beach pair to join Humana-Parades/Wilkerson through the NORCECA continental cup. Water polo 12: 12 W: The women's team has already qualified. Weightlifting 2: 1 M 1 W. Boady Santavy and Maude Charron should qualify. Its possible another athlete qualifies through reallocations. Wrestling 6: 2M 4 W. Going with a conservative number here. I think we will qualify the two heaviest weights in men's and four women's categories (the ones missing out being 50 and 57 kg). So the team without Athletics and Swimming = 2741 point
