Projected World Champions Medal Table after day 1: - 37 - 34 - 25 - 20 - 15 - 14 - 14 - 13 - 13 - 9 - 8 - 7 - 7

I guess it kind of makes up for the diving bronze

Artistic Gymnastics: Which Brit gets the most total points (all-around)? Jarman Badminton: Do Lane and Vendy win at least one game? Yes Boxing: Does Davison advance? No Canoe Slalom: Do they both get through the heats? Yes Cycling Road: Do we get a medal? Yes Diving: Medal today, yes or no? Yes Equestrian: Are the team in a medal position by the end of the day? Yes Hockey: Do we win our opener? Yes Rowing: Is it a clean sweep of advancing to the next round? Yes Shooting: Do the mixed relay team get to the final stage (top four)? No Swimming: How many RELAY medals do we get today? One Tennis: How many of the four Brits win our games? Four

I'm going to give it a 7/10, started well, was pretty poor with the music/catwalk bit, but brought it back strongly at the end. I think interspersing the parade of nations with performances is good, but I wouldn't have another non stadium ceremony again.

Probably not in Paris, but maybe this year, in a paced DL race.

Will the parade of nations be in French or English order?

Flora Duffy - - Both parents English went to school in Devon. ruta meilutyte - - Studied at Plymouth college from age 15

Fair enough, he was always more likely to medal on the track anyway, don't know if it is too late to replace him, but if they could I would assume it would be Fred Wright, 2022 commonwealth TT silver medallist.

I'm hopeful given we have 3 athletes whilst lots of the teams around us have just one, although that didn't really help for the women.

Currently 23rd in Mixed Team, with only top 16 going through, but it is very tight, so we only need to make up 6 points to qualify.

Why on earth was the UZB player praying on his knees whilst that penalty was being taken. Imagine it was saved an then Spain scored at the other end because he took too long to get up from the floor.

Alright, which match is everyone going for, ARG vs MAR, ESP vs UZB or a mixture of the two?

Hold your horses, (pun intended), the GB score, excluding Dujardin, from the 2024 European with Moody's score from a few weeks ago is 234.481, which is better than GB's silver winning score at the 2022 worlds, although would be 5pts behind what the Germans scored at the 2024 Europeans, so whilst the team is weaker, they are definately not 'down and out'. The real question is the psychological affect of all this on the team, as well as how prepared Moody is. You can't forget that this will send shockwaves through the Dressage world, and so could affect other nations athletes too, especially if they are also guilty of such practices.

kind of proved they are being persecuted then

I saw this this morning and it did return a bit of optimism after a hard few weeks, but I think the news today may have extinguished that flame. I think sometimes it is easy to focus on the negatives but we are still taking an extremely stacked squad. Gracenote predicts 6 golds in rowing and it isn't exactly unreasonable we get 3 in triathlon, Finucane can still do the treble, 4/4 in Taekwondo and 6 in canoe Slalom (thats 22 already), with strong medal chances in almost all sports we are competing in. Obviously most if not all of these scenarios won't happen, but there is still enough going on to be excited about. I agree 29 golds is on the higher end of expectations but you never know. For your questions: 1) I can't really see a medal in the Mixed Medley relay, let alone gold. It is easy to get swept away given the scale of the Tokyo win but watching that race back the whole team swum 'perfectly', and they way the team looks this year our strengths aren't as beneficial for the relay. I hope I'm wrong but I have a feeling Jarman may fall on vault. 2) Men's team pursuit, (they looked really good at the Europeans), MHS (after London), and women's 4x100m relay (Really strong in London with definite room for improvement, and with the Jamaicans not looking as good this year). 3) Delicious Orie (No boxing medals as predicted would be a disaster), men's hockey, Chelsie Giles.

It does raise the question of, if the video is 4 years old, why not release it before Tokyo instead.

I bought discovery plus for £3.99, which gives me access to every event, which I don’t think eurosport does. For QOTD Yes Helen Glover and Tom Daley

Is De Jong an olympic debutant?, surely can't have had many of them before.

Let's be honest, nobody picks a relay team nearly 2 weeks before the event.

ATP Finals, but I'm not really sure what I did for Mixed doubles, I've changed them to 2024 French open for Singles events and tried to get a best overall doubles nations from the past few French opens for doubles. Here's and updated version. Medal Table.xlsx

I think a medal is too far for Charlie in the indivdual, same for Amber, so I would put them in the mixed relay

I wasn't expecting any drop outs, but I would presume that if there were he would be first in line if he is elegible.

Any chance Sam Reardon gets in the 4x400m squad if there is a withdrawal

Here is an updatable excel spreadsheet with the current world champions in each olympic event. I didn't include swimming at the 2024 worlds and some of the 2024 worlds in some sports may be missing. I'll try to update it each day and post the projected medal tally but if you input the daily winners the medal standings should auto update. Pre-Olympics, the standings are. - 37 - 35 - 26 - 20 - 15 - 14 - 13 - 12 - 12 - 9 If you think this is a good idea I might give it a go for the paralympics, Medal Table.xlsx
