Nicky Pryde got a reaction from FancyFenchel in Are these Olympic Games going to reach 100 medal-winning nations for the first time? (88/100)
The last Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo beat the record of the most medal-winning nations during the event, with 93 nations who win at least the Bronze. There was 206 nations and 339 events (for a total of 1080 medals).
In Paris, we have still 206 nations, but with less events (329). However, more countries has chances to win a medals.
So, do you think Paris will beat this record and, why not, surpass the 100 nations mark for the first time ?
As a numbers lover, that will be the point I'll check during this Olympiades in my own country, So i'll be glad to share this with you !
To check if it's possible, I made stats about each countries during the last 5 olympiads (from Athens to Tokyo), and I separate the 206 nations in 8 categories. (please note : I just check that, I don't know which athletes has the best chances in each sports).
Group 1 (26)
Countries that has reached at least 5 medals in each Olympic Games from Athens to Tokyo
For these countries, I'm not afraid for them, I think they'll reach their minimal quota this year.
Concerned : Australia, Azerbaijan, Brazil, Canada, China, Croatia, Cuba, Czechia, Denmark, France, Germany, UK, Hungary, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Ukraine and USA
Group 2 (14)
Countries that has reached at least 5 medals 50% or more of their participations in Olympic Games from Athens to Tokyo
I think they'll also gain at least one medal this year, but be careful !
Concerned : Bulgaria, Colombia, Ethiopia, Georgia, Iran, North Korea, Norway, Romania, South Africa, Switzerland, Taipei, Thailand, Turkey, Uzbekistan
Group 3 (15)
Countries that has reached at least 5 medals in one of the 3 last Olympiades (Tokyo, Rio or London)
They are in a good dynamism, so they have really good chances.
Moreover for some of them, the fact that they are not in group 1 or 2 can be explained by geopolitical events.
Concerned : Austria, Belgium, Dominican Republic, Egypt, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Lithuania, Malaysia, Mexico, Mongolia, Serbia, Slovenia
Group 4 (8)
Countries that won at least 1 medal in each of their participations in Olympic Games from Athens to Tokyo
they are still here, but they are not immune to poor performance !
From there, we will take a look on these countries.
Concerned : Argentina, Bahamas, Estonia, Finland, Morocco, Portugal, Slovakia, Venezuela
Group 5 (29)
Countries that won at least 1 medal in at least 2 of their participations in Olympic Games from Athens to Tokyo
We will clearly not bet on them, but they have already the experience of the win !
In this category, we can also cut them in 2 parts : the countries who has won a medal in Tokyo and the other.
Concerned who won a Medal in Tokyo (20) : Armenia, Bahrain, Botswana, Ecuador, Fiji, Granada, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Moldova, Nigeria, Philippines, Puerto Rico, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia, Uganda
Else (9): Afghanistan, Algeria, Cameroon, Chile, Singapore, Tajikistan, Trinidad and Tobago, United Arab Emirates, Vietnam
Group 6 (23)
Countries that won at least 1 medal only one time in Olympic Games from Athens to Tokyo
They already won so we know they are able, but it'll be still difficult for them
Concerned who won a Medal in Tokyo or Rio (10) : Bermuda, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Namibia, Niger, North Macedonia, San Marino, Turkmenistan
Else (13): Cyprus, Gabon, Guatemala, Iceland, Mauritius, Montenegro, Panama, Samoa, Sudan, Togo, Eritrea, Paraguay, Zimbabwe
Group 7 (91)
Countries that never won a medal in the last 5 Olympiads
I think the 100 bar can be reach with these countries. Maybe some surprises ? I hope for them !
Group Special (3)
Countries that is too difficult to estimate for them
I include here AIN and Refugees, but also Kosovo, a too young country who reach at least 1 medal in the last 2 Olympiads, but we don't really know.
So, if we go on the fact that groups 1,2,3 and 4 will win at least on medal for each, we have a base of 63 nations. So we hope there will be 37 other nations in the list !
What do you think about that ? That was clear for you (sorry, english is not my mother tongue ^^) ? Do you think that, with this analyse, the 100 mark can be reach ?
(Also in the topic, i'll take the count for each Group during these Olympic Games)
Thanks for reading !

Yeah but you have to pay big money only for training + costs for living is the factor not many can afford

Yes, that's why I do this tracking of new countries, I use to be for the unknown or small nations in every sport competitions because I know they have less weapons than USA, China, Japan or West Europe countries. That's unfair and, unfortunately, I think it'll be worse in the future.
The sport players from "little" countries who are medals, it's because in general they train in bigger countries, so maybe the solution is to send their best athletes elsewhere, but that's still unfair, it's only richer players who can go away...

It is hard to win medals for small nations this time, it appear to me like the medals are reserved only to big nations, Paris 2024 proved to me that the current Olympics are set mainly for the rich nations,
rich getting richer, the rest of us are here mainly as desired backdrops in the effort of showing some visually looking cool global participation, but the fact is that different conditions and especially extremely different financial/technological/material resources both in preparation and in competitions make it impossible to fight with equal weapons with the "upper" countries of this world.

That was a really bad day today. We only gain , but we also lose good chances :
- Peru and Costa Rica finished both 4th in Surfing
- Latvia lose their match in Basket 4x4
- the andorran kayakist lose too quickly in quarterfinals
- Wrestling wasn't as good as expected
- And Saint Vincent finished 4th in 200m
I hope we will be more lucky tomorrow !
