Back to the Paris Olympics for this one. Eleni-Klaoudia Polak got sent home from Paris for a positive dope test. Ok, the Greek never reached the final of the pole vault so getting sent home wasn't a big punishment. Then we learnt that the test on July 29 was thrown out because she had a legitimate medical use for the drug. Now we find out that she also tested positive earlier in July and gets banned for 4 years.

Hockey player Imran Sherwani died today aged just 57 after developing Alzheimer's disease very young. Most famous for scoring two goals for GBR in the 1988 Olympic Final and inspiring one of the great lines in commentary with GB's third goal.

Olympedia update. The IOC did pull out of the deal because of "budget reasons" but we compromised by accepting less money and just updating 2024 and not Milan-Cortina for the time being. The result is that the contract was signed this week and we just need to transfer our private data to Olympedia and then it will be back up to date. Unfortunately not all our members were happy with the IOC's behavior and some may leave us because of this.

(as Dutch East Indies) qualified in 1938, 13 years before it became a member of the IOC and when it was still part of the Dutch Empire Admittedly they qualified because of walkover wins over Japan and the USA.

Or possibly not... The IOC may pull out of the deal because of budget reasons

I did say Grok went a bit mad...

I asked Grok AI to "predict the medal table for the 2028 Olympic Games". I think it went a bit mad...

Frankly, if you have Dennis Mitchell as a coach, then people can assume this...

Happy there seem to be reserve days for the medal matches.

Seems to have been missed out from the version I saw and added later

Am I missing something? I can't see a women's 100m final on https://drive.google.com/file/d/100yGpndypOTBi9m1lmB6w1CeHfaBW8uk/view ?

rankings, and Olympic medal history, Yemisi Ogunleye of Germany is the clear favorite. As the reigning Olympic gold medalist from Paris 2024 with a winning throw of 20.00m, she ranks third globally and has continued to dominate in 2025 competitions. Close challengers include defending world record holder and American record holder Chase Jackson (USA, 20.76m PB), who opened 2025 strongly at 20.31m, and Maddison-Lee Wesche (New Zealand), the 2024 silver medalist with a PB of 19.86m. At 26 years old in 2028, Ogunleye's consistency in major championships positions her to defend her title successfully. Men's 10,000m Grant Fisher of the United States emerges as the top pick, building on his 2024 Olympic bronze (26:43.46) and rapid progression in distance events. Now 27 in 2028, Fisher's tactical racing and recent personal bests (including sub-27:00 times) make him a strong contender against an aging field. Joshua Cheptegei (Uganda), the 2024 Olympic champion and world record holder (26:11.00), will be 32 and has indicated 2028 as his final track Olympics, potentially facing fatigue from his packed schedule. Emerging threats include Jimmy Gressier (France), the 2025 world champion (28:55.77), and young talents like Ethiopia's Yomif Kejelcha, but Fisher's home-soil advantage in Los Angeles tips the scales. Women's 100m Julien Alfred of Saint Lucia is poised to claim gold, leveraging her explosive 2024 Olympic victory (10.72s) and status as a rising star at just 22 years old in 2028. Her ability to challenge Flo-Jo’s 10.49 world record, as noted in early projections, combined with sub-10.80 consistency, gives her an edge. Sha'Carri Richardson (USA, 10.65 PB) remains a formidable rival after her 2024 silver and world-leading 10.71s at Trials, entering her prime at 28. Jamaica's Shericka Jackson (10.65 PB) could rebound from injuries, but Alfred's youth and momentum make her the predicted winner in the high-profile Day 1 final.

This is the opposite of the sports fails thread

I think 4 or 5 individual golds is just about possible but I can't see Canada dominating all the relays as the US did with Phelps

Qualifying for the British Qualifying for the GBR team over 800m for LA will be brutal. At the moment I can think of 10 runners who could reach a semi-final or final on their best form or if they improve as we expect them to but whether they could win a medal is very different

Last year he had a brilliant season except for the Olympics. This year he wasn't quite as good. And there are younger British 800m runners who are just as promising.

Instagram. "It’s heartbreaking to share that I won’t be competing at the World Championships this year. This meet has given me some of the best memories of my career, and missing it after everything I’ve poured into getting back is tough. Since last August, it’s been a cycle of injuries, recovery, and rebuilding. Training has been very limited at times, and there were moments I thought I’d turned the corner, only to be set back again. Still, I’m proud that I fought through enough to hit the world standard a reminder what’s possible when you keep showing up. Right now, my body is telling me to pause, heal, and rebuild. I’m excited to focus on training, getting stronger, and coming back better than ever. I’m still young, my career is far from over, and there’s so much more to achieve."

Rationale 50m Freestyle Gretchen Walsh (USA) Walsh, 25 in 2028, dominated sprints in 2025 with world-leading times in the 50/100 fly and free (e.g., 24.06 in 50 free). Her relay contributions and relay world record in the 4x100 medley at 2025 Worlds position her as the sprint queen. 100m Freestyle Sarah Sjöström (Sweden) At 34, Sjöström's experience and speed (world #1 in 100 free for years) make her a lock if she continues post-maternity. She won Olympic gold in 2024 and remains untouchable in sprints. 200m Freestyle Mollie O'Callaghan (Australia) O'Callaghan, 24 in 2028, edged out Siobhan Haughey for 200 free gold in Paris 2024 and ranked #1 globally in 2025. Her relay prowess adds depth. 400m Freestyle Ariarne Titmus (Australia) Titmus, 28, defended her 400 free Olympic title in 2024 and holds the world record. Consistent dominance over Ledecky in this event persists into 2025 rankings. 800m Freestyle Katie Ledecky (USA) Ledecky, 31, won her fourth straight 800 free Olympic gold in 2024 and ninth overall medal, ranking #1 in 2025. She's explicitly targeting 2028 for a fifth Games. 1500m Freestyle Katie Ledecky (USA) Ledecky's unmatched distance endurance (world #1 in 2025, 15:57.31 PB) secures this; she defended in Paris 2024 by 10+ seconds. Emerging threats like Anastasiya Kirpichnikova (France) trail far behind. 50m Backstroke (New Event) Kaylee McKeown (Australia) McKeown, 27, holds the 50 back world record (26.86) and swept backstroke golds in Paris 2024. The sprint addition favors her versatility across 50-200 back. 100m Backstroke Regan Smith (USA) Smith, 26, set a world record in 200 back at Paris 2024 but excels in 100 (58.33 PB). Her 2025 rankings (#2 globally) and relay anchors make her the favorite. 200m Backstroke Kaylee McKeown (Australia) McKeown defended her 2024 Olympic title and ranked #1 in 2025. At peak age, she'll sweep backstroke events. 50m Breaststroke (New Event) Mona McSharry (Ireland) McSharry, 23, rose to #1 in 2025 after Olympic bronze in 2024; her sprint breast PB (29.92) edges out veterans like Lilly King (retired post-2025). 100m Breaststroke Kate Douglass (USA) Douglass, 25, won 200 breast gold in Paris 2024 and medaled in 100 at 2025 Worlds. Her IM versatility strengthens her case. 200m Breaststroke Kate Douglass (USA) Douglass defended her 2024 title and ranked #1 in 2025 (2:21.46 PB), outpacing Lydia Jacoby (on break but targeting 2028). 50m Butterfly (New Event) Gretchen Walsh (USA) Walsh, world #1 in 50/100 fly (25.20 PB), will capitalize on the debut; her 2025 Worlds dominance (7 golds) confirms sprint fly supremacy. 100m Butterfly Torri Huske (USA) Huske, 25, won silver in Paris 2024 and co-favorite with Walsh in 2025 rankings. Her consistency edges out young challengers like Mizuki Hirai (Japan). 200m Butterfly Summer McIntosh (Canada) McIntosh, 21, won Olympic gold in 2024 (2:03.03 WR) and defended at 2025 Worlds. Her versatility (also 200 IM gold) makes her unbeatable here. 200m Individual Medley Summer McIntosh (Canada) McIntosh's 2024 Olympic gold (2:06.56) and 2025 #1 ranking position her for repeat; she'll peak at 21 with fly/back dominance. 400m Individual Medley Summer McIntosh (Canada) McIntosh cruised to 2024 gold by 6 seconds (WR 4:24.38 at Trials) and holds #1 in 2025. Freestyle closing speed seals it. 4x100m Freestyle Relay Australia Led by Titmus and O'Callaghan, Australia won in 2024 and 2025 Worlds; U.S. depth (Walsh, Huske) is close but trails in leadoff. 4x200m Freestyle Relay Australia Repeat 2024/2025 winners; Titmus anchors under 1:55, outpacing U.S. (Ledecky, Weinstein) and Canada (McIntosh). 4x100m Medley Relay United States U.S. set WR in 2025 (3:49.34 with Smith, Douglass, Walsh, Huske); unbeatable sprint medley quartet.

Country Rationale 50m Freestyle Pan Zhanle China Pan's 46.40 Olympic final in 2024 was the fastest ever; at 20 in 2028, he'll own sprints, especially with his 45.92 relay anchor. Edges Dressel, who plans a 50m focus. 100m Freestyle Pan Zhanle China Reclaimed world title in 2025 after 2024 Olympic gold; his sub-46 consistency makes him untouchable in a field including Popovici (bronze in 2024) and Kyle Chalmers. 200m Freestyle David Popovici Romania 2025 world champ; at 19, his 1:42.97 PB positions him to dominate as veterans like Short fade. Hobson (silver in 2025) is a threat, but Popovici's upside is massive. 400m Freestyle Lukas Martens Germany Defending Olympic champ and world record holder; 2025 form suggests he'll hold off Short and emerging American Mijatovic (16 in 2025, a distance prodigy). 800m Freestyle Daniel Wiffen Ireland Swept 400/800/1500 at 2024 Euros; at 23, his endurance edges German stars like Moritz Schwarz (2025 breakout with 7:38.12 PB). 1500m Freestyle Bobby Finke USA Defending Olympic champ; consistent depth in 2025 keeps him ahead of Wiffen or Wellbrock, who may shift to open water. 50m Backstroke (New Event) Kliment Kolesnikov Russia (Neutral) Returned strong in 2025 (7th in 100m); his 52.04 PB makes him the sprint back king over Coetze (2025 medal threat). 100m Backstroke Pieter Coetze South Africa 2025 breakout (world's top backstroker per rankings); versatile across distances, outpacing Kolesnikov and Ceccon. 200m Backstroke Hubert Kos Hungary Dominant 2025 form (near Hungarian records); at 22, he'll peak over veterans like Prigoda. 50m Breaststroke (New Event) Adam Peaty Great Britain The addition motivated his return; 2025 rebound (near-miss for 100m title) sets him up as inaugural champ over Qin Haiyang. 100m Breaststroke Qin Haiyang China Reclaimed 100/200m titles in 2025 after 2024 dip; explosive starts give him the edge on Peaty in the longer sprint. 200m Breaststroke Qin Haiyang China Back-to-back 2025 golds; his 2:07.41 dominance continues into 2028, fending off American Josh Bey (2025 riser). 50m Butterfly (New Event) Caeleb Dressel USA Shifting focus to 50m free/fly per 2025 interviews; his raw speed (sub-23 fly splits) wins the debut over Proud or young Murasa. 100m Butterfly Luca Urlando USA 2025 world champ (1:51.87 PB); recovered from injuries, he'll hold off Heilman (teen phenom) and Japanese risers. 200m Butterfly Léon Marchand France Versatility king; 2025 WR in 200 IM bleeds into fly legs—expect a statement win over veterans like McHugh. 200m Individual Medley Léon Marchand France 2025 WR holder; untouchable in multis, as seen in Paris 2024 sweep. 400m Individual Medley Léon Marchand France Four-peat potential; 2025 gold after Olympic triple—peak age aligns perfectly. 4x100m Freestyle Relay United States USA Depth from Alexy, Guiliano, and Hobson; 2025 bronze turns gold with home-pool edge. 4x200m Freestyle Relay Australia Australia Chalmers anchors; 2025 mixed success scales up, beating USA's distance crew. 4x100m Medley Relay China China Pan's fly/free legs + Qin's breast = 2024 upset repeat; Marchand unavailable for France relay. 4x100m Mixed Medley Relay United States USA Balanced squad (e.g., Urlando fly, Finke free); 2025 momentum secures home gold.
