    Happy with the choices

    Nice analysis. I don't think we'll make triple digits this time. Around 50 nations are only here because of tripartite and universality. Add in nations which officially qualified by barely making the cut or winning weak continental quotas and we are left with a narrow path to 100. It's possible, but we'll need the small nations to convert their 1 or 2 chance they have.

    Yeah, they can't even show the proper score. First day bugs as usual.

    I also think Evan Dunfee should get the nod (assuming he's in Paris). On the women's side, I'd like to throw Kelsey Mitchell as an alternative to Ellie Black

    Any last minute flag bearer predictions?

    My vacation doesn't start until Monday (I guess technically Saturday since it's the weekend) so I only have a small amount of time in the morning to watch. I'll definitely watch some handball on Thursday to cross that off on my sport list. Tomorrow I'll probably catch a rugby sevens game.

    They should put them together in the same building, along with and Additionally they should arrange and on the same floors so it looks like they mirror themselves.

    I agree, qualification to an event shouldn't depend on whether your nation is also qualified in a different event. Weightlifting is the worst offender, but you also see it in canoe sprint for the kayak events. Technically this can also happen in swimming too, but I don't think any nation has suffered as a result of the rules in the past few Olympics. As strong as China is in weightlifting they wouldn't win 10 golds, they would win even less if North Korea competes.

    3x3 is one of the more successful "modern" events so it's not going anywhere. If anything, the IOC should increase the size of the tournament.

    I'd give them a pass on that. If they can't figure out who is attending then they definitely aren't looking at the draws.

    6 Gold, 24 medals, not a bad prediction overall. Though they have Summer McIntosh winning medals in the 200m and 800m freestyle, plus other medalists who are not competing.

    Couldn't they arrange floors by event completion date? Athletes will still be around athletes from different sports and you protect the ones which compete later.

    It's tough to say, South Korea had horrible luck in team sport qualification (some of which was due to Japan no longer being host). If you remove the 83 team quotas lost, their 2020 numbers would have been 154 which is only slightly higher than what they have here. Of course, failing to qualify in team sports could be an indicator of future problems. I guess we'll see in 2028.

    Each nation receives a quota of coaches and support staff to stay at the village (I think the total is 5000). The rest have to stay offsite. I believe the judges/referees stay in the village too.

    I don't think Canada officially has a target (they don't want to pressure the athletes), but typically, it's finish in the top 12 in total medals.

    Mexico finished 6th at the 2022 Pan American Championships, only the top 5 qualified to the World Cup.

    They look like passport pictures

    As far as I know, there hasn't been any state sponsoring doping. A Russia like ban has to be reserved for cases like that, banning a nation for too many positive tests will just encourage nations to hide their dopers. With that said, Kenya needs to get their act together
  19. JoshMartini007
    For a nation which only wants the best competing, it's weird they would create a boat for the sake of competing in another event.

    I know it's been said before, but it's crazy how Europe and the rest of the World fare in each gender. For the men, Europe makes up 53% of total top 8 athletes while for the women, they are 27%. Is it because the United States/Australia/China/Canada have much better women's teams or does Europe just have better men's teams? Is there a separation in development programs or are we just seeing an unlikely sequence of random chance?
  21. JoshMartini007
    You think they would save the match against the top seeds as the final match...
  22. JoshMartini007
    Neat, I sometimes do the same for my province.
  23. JoshMartini007
    They obviously combined all the men's and women's events and I doubt they are going to compete in all weight classes in the combat/weightlifting events.
  24. JoshMartini007
    Not sure where to post this, but here's a Youtube channel where two brothers attempt to perform all the Olympic events in one week. As of now, only the first two have been posted
  25. JoshMartini007
    I totally agree. What makes it even more laughable is that in the 1500m there are no lanes so adding a few more athletes does nothing to the logistics of the event.
