At this rate, we will walk the 4x200m, and I wouldn't rule out a (minor) medal for Richards in the 100 Free. Peaty's Covid test also put his performance last night into perspective - he briefly alluded to a scratchy throat post-race, and I don't think it's a stretch to say he'd have taken Gold by a tenth or two if he'd been at 100%. Gymnastics a bit annoying, but posting a 255.5 with one pretty big mistake on Vault, and only dropping one point from Qualifying with all scores counting (for context, China dropped 4, Japan 1, Italy 1.5, Switzerland 2.2, and Canada 2.4), is still pretty darn good. No shame in losing the Bronze to a USA team that improved its score by *4.6* points.

Couple of bullets dodged for Becky Downie, with both of the Dutch gymnasts who made the Uneven Bars Final at Worlds last year failing to beat her score. She's now 6th with two subdivisions to go (level on 14.666 with the Italian in 5th, but annoyingly behind on execution score), and maybe 4-5 more gymnasts who look capable of challenging her score.

Go on then, final prediction on Team medals: 1. Athletics - 10 Medals, 3 Gold (Keeley, either Kerr or MHS, either Caudery or a relay) 2. Cycling (Track) - 9M, 4G (Finucane, Women's Team Pursuit, Men's Madison, + 1 other) 3. Rowing - 7M, 4G (Women's Pair, Four, Lightweight Double Sculls, Men's Pair) 4. Swimming - 7M, 3G (Proud, Peaty, Men's 4x200m Free) 5. Canoe Kayak - 5M, 2G (Clarke, either Woods or Franklin) 6. Sailing - 4M, 1G (Wilson), Triathlon - 4M, 1G (Yee) 7. Diving - 4M, 0G 8. Equestrian (Eventing) - 3M, 2G (Individual, Team) 9. Gymnastics (Artistic) - 3M, 1G (Whitlock) 10. Modern Pentathlon - 2M, 1G (Choong), Cycling (BMX) - 2M, 1G (Reilly), Cycling (MB) - 2M, 1G (Pidcock) 11. Boxing, Equestrian (Dressage), Equestrian (Jumping), Taekwondo, Judo - 2M, 0G 12. Gymnastics (Trampolining) - 1M, 1G (Page) 13. Artistic Swimming, Cycling (Road), Golf, Hockey, Shooting, Skateboarding, Sport Climbing, Weightlifting - 1M, 0G 25 Gold 27 Silver 29 Bronze 81 Medals - seems too high, tbh, and I may come to regret being so bullish when we limp in at 14 golds and 57 medals overall, but if you can't summon a bit of optimism with 2 hours to go till the Opening Ceremony, when can you?! -
It is, and the Women's team have been amazing in successive Games (definitely time for the Men to step up!). But England Hockey is pretty well-resourced, and the current squad is not dominated by either youngsters or veterans - it has a core of players who are a good age, and just haven't pushed on. As a hockey player myself, I'm probably being hyper-critical though!

Decline in performance of the Women's team has been one of the bigger disappointments of this Olympic cycle. Gold in Rio, bronze in Tokyo (and I'd have backed them to reach the Final if they'd been on the other half of the knockout draw), but absolutely nowhere this time round. Maybe an exaggeration to say they'll be lucky to get out of the group, but it also wouldn't be a huge surprise if they didn't (I don't see them beating Australia or Argentina, Spain is 50:50, and they lost to the US as recently as June). Either way, a medal feels a long way off.
