Men’s 50 free (Proud) Mens 200 free (Scott, maybe Dean) Mens 100 fly (Guy) Mens 200 IM (Scott) Womens 200 breast (Renshaw) Womens 100 back (Dawson) Womens 200 IM (Wood) I think at least 3 of them will medal.

It is also math that when you can get a 10 at best, mediocre would be a 5 and not a 7 or 7.5 ... man. How can you be so determined while being wrong?

How do you judge whether you are on track or not?

Should be USA vs. Russia for gold and probably China for bronze? Really interesting that the 3 nations that are dominating at the olympics so far (and probably overall) are also the best in women's gymnastics. Women's gymnastics seems to be a good indicator for the nations that are the best overall.

Really makes me wonder how Hungary is so strong in fencing. Germany used to be great, but now they have been trash for at least a decade. Any insights on how to become world class in fencing?

Probably all family members.

So just like the french "team"?

First austrian gold at summer olympics since 2004 apparently.

A complete nobody like Kieselbauer taking minutes off all the favorites. Not suspicious at all in combination with the fact that she took years off and came back stronger than before (just like Armstrong in 2016). I think even Vinokourov in 2012 was a more believable olympic champion.

How the hell did the field allow this to happen? It is a once in a lifetime chance and they just give up on 2/3 medals without even trying?

No, a mediocre dive wouldn't have been enough, but they certainly could have won a medal. Not sure why you call it a disappointment though, Italy wasn't a favorite for a medal.

A "bit" better? They were lightyears ahead without even taking any risks (only 3.0 difficulty).

Pretty much all finals were really slow. I guess we will have to get used to seeing faster times in prelims. China probably could have won a medal in women's 400 free relay if they would have used their two best athletes. Men's 400 free was the most disappointing race of all, even yesterday (not to mention two years ago) noone would have bet anything on none out of Rapsys/Sun Yang/Detti/De Tullio/Horton/Malyutin winning a medal. I wonder if Wellbrock regrets not swimming this event, i think he certainly will if he won't win a gold medal. Mühlleitner with the expected finish (considering that he is german), but he might still get bronze in the future if the tunisian guy is caught. At this point i just hope that i will become old enough to again witness a german swimming medal at the olympics.

Yes, obviously prelims times don't mean much, but i thought it would still be interesting to compare it to the eventual medal count. I think two conclusions one might still draw is that GB is weaker than usual and that the Netherlands are stronger than usual.

Number of finals so far: Netherlands 4 Australia 3 China/Italy/Germany/Poland/USA 2 Ireland/GB/New Zealand 1 If we use prelims times to predict the number of medals: Netherlands 6 Germany/Romania 4 New Zealand/GB/USA/Poland 3 France/Italy/Canada/Ireland/Australia 2 Norway/Greece/Austria/Lithuania/China/Croatia 1

1 medal in athletics is safe and 2 in swimming are likely? Does Brazil have any medal contenders in athletics apart from Dos Santos? In swimming 2 medals would be the absolute best case in my opinion.

I think Seedo has her breakthrough 2 years ago at the same meet. Sophia looks like a very promising talent, not sure about your other medalists.

If you are confident that she would win, then you obviously don’t follow athletics. Her PB is 22.91 with +0.1 m/s wind, Kaddari ran 22.64 with -0.4 m/s Wind in the same Stadium. MAYBE Adeleke could have competed for bronze, but that’s it.

Nope. Where do you get things like that from? Do you actually follow athletics?

Nope, they weren’t the better team and what they did 10 years ago has zero relevance for their odds to win gold in Tokyo.

@Wumo: Some options you might consider: Women’s 100 fly: Pudar and Sjöstrom are missing. Women’s 400 free: Köhler won’t compete (will be replaced by Kullmann). Other finals contenders are Tuncel, Kesely and the second Australian. Women’s 100 breast: I would favor Jefimova, Elendt and maybe even Fast over Atkinson. Women’s 200 free: McKeon won’t swim it, you should add the second Australian instead. Women’s 1500 free: you should add Tuncel and Kesely (over South Korea ... not sure what you mean by that). Women’s 200 fly: You should add Stephens. Also not sure if Hosszu indeed will swim it. I think the 200 IM is in the same session. Women’s 100 free: Seems pretty good, maybe you could add Coleman. Men’s 100 back: I would pick Tomac, Gonzalez, Glinta, Christou and maybe even Greenbank over Thormeyer/Basseto/Coetze. Men’s 200 fly: I think Guy won’t swim it. You should add Ivanov, Chang? and the Young polish guy (Chmiel...) (over De Deus, Kudashev and maybe one of the American guys). Men’s 100 fly: You should add Le Clos. Womens 100 back: You should add Shkurdai over Fesikova. You could also add Coleman. Mens 800 free: Hafnaoui is missing (over Costa/Brinegar/Jervis). Mens 200 breast: Persson is missing (for example over Koch). You could also add Matt Wilson (Australia). Womens 800 free: You should add Tuncel and Kesely (for example over McIntosh). Mens 50 free: You should add Hayden (over Yu Hexin/McEvoy). Womens 50 free: You should add Hopkin and maybe Coleman (over Wattel/Henique). Mens 1500 free: You should add Romanchuk and Christiansen (over Costa and Takeda).

I would favor Zverev, Medvedev and Nadal over him on Outdoor hard court. Has he ever won a title on outdoor hard court? He is one of the top 5 players on outdoor hard court probably, but I am not sure if he is a favorite for a medal.

Pretty safe golds: Swimming: Ledecky (women’s 1500 free) Titmus (women’s 200/400 free) McKeown (women’s 200 back) Australia (womens 400 free relay) Peaty (men’s 100 breast) Rylov (men’s 200 back) Milak (men’s 200 fly) GB (men’s 800 free relay) USA (men’s medley relay and mixed medley relay) Top 5 are probably: Australia in women’s 400/800 free relay, Peaty, Milak and Ledecky (1500 free)/Titmus (200/400 free)/McKeown (200 back)/GB (men’s 800 free relay) Athletics: Holloway (men’s 100 m hurdles) Duplantis (men’s pole vault) Crouser (men’s shot put) Stahl (men’s discus throw) Vetter (men’s javelin throw) USA (men’s 4x100/4x400 m relay) Miller-Uibo (women’s 400 m, if she runs it) McLaughlin (women’s 400 m hurdles) Mahuchikh (women’s high jump) Rojas (women’s triple jump) Jamaica (women’s 4x100 m relay) USA (women’s 4x400 m relay) Top 5 are probably: Duplantis, Crouser, Vetter, Rojas, USA in men’s 4x400 m relay/Stahl
