It's right here - they have to list relay only athletes I think in the heats they'll be swimming - this is the 4 x 100 M, with france germany and GBR expanded

If you look carefully at the relay schedules already up at World Aquatics, you can see some relays heats have already partially been filled in - no doubt to clear the rule about DQ if a relay only swimmer isn't used. In the men's 4 x 100 free, Lo and behold... Joe Litchfield and Jack Macmillen are down (notably down in the women's 4 x 1, Freya Anderon and Okara, no doubt for exactly the same reason). Given James being given the solo event, I think we can safely say they have no faith whatsoever in Litchfield, and if put him in the available relay that is most disposable. I assume GBR are emphasising Mens 4 x 2, Men's Medley, Mixed Medley, Men's 4 x 1, women's 4 x 2, Womens medley, women's 4 x 1 in that order - with high gold hopes in the first, firm medal intent in the next two, and somewhat less the next two, with hardly any hope in the last two. Guy seems to have picked up a bit of Mojo after his move back this year, so the men's medley will be interesting, possibly more so than the mixed, where there is simply no decent female butterfly swimmer, so they are forced back to FMMF. I will bet my granny that Guy swims medley finals, they may try and rest him in freestyle relay heats, and let Dean do the donkey work there.

If it's not basically a playlist of "Around the World" "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" and "Robot rock", are they even trying

Would have a big knock on on the tendency of South Africa, Australia and New Zealand to turn down continental places.

These cases do occasionally break for 'the athletes' in ways you don't expect, and the Swedish/British case is pretty sympathetic - even more so considering a fair number of GB swimmers have the Olympic time but not the special Aquatics GB time, and others who have been picked have been denied individual swims - they too, presumably, would suddenly have a case. As would all the South Africans, Kiwis and aussies who have their continental places turned down. My gut says Olympic bylaws make it clear that NOCs have discretion to insist on their own criteria and IOC will back that discretion. Unless CAS feel very strongly that the Swedes (and by extension Brits) have seriously overcooked their singular superiority to the point of robbing athletes of a sensible chance - for example, they may say that a blanket refusal on rankings places is not aceptable, and that they have to consider rankings invites in the top say 66% of the field. Personally, I send everyone who qualifies - qualifying is, of itself, a hell of an achievement.

More so than most races, even the Worlds, the Olympics pushes a;lliances - no team is big enough to actually control the race - GBR came the closest in 2012, and might have pulled it off if they could have got one more team to work with them, but they were all too afraid of Cav. Most of the race, especially for the small teams, will be about reacting, and picking wheels, and trying not to use up matches. The Parcours is quite punchy, might favour an Ardennes rider, and ben Healy certainly fits that category - he has not been QUITE on last years form, but he's still riding well, and is due a good day. I do have a hunch that while the favourite is probably going to be MvdP (he won't be tired out from the Tour, nor split over two disciplines like pidcock), a key wheel to watch will be Aliphillipe - he's bound to play the home heroics at some point, and he might be the guy to follow for the break of the day - and in the Olympics - the break of the day always has a shot. Obviously a lot depends on Pogacar's form post Tour as he obviously excells at these hilly classic style courses - the inclusion of cobbles on some of those hills favours MvdP, I think, though.

I think such a large number of bronzes is the classic sign of caution. In recent cycles, GBR have usually been a little gold heavy, rather than bronze heavy. I think 20 golds are well within reach.

Ireland goes into this Games with more genuine shots at gold than possibly ever before - but very few, if any, nailed on, or close to nailed on in a 2012 Katie Taylor/2020 Lightweight double scull kind of way McCleneghan is a genuine gold shout, but he needs to absolutely nail his routine and hope Whitlock doesn't. If he nails the execution, he should be, in at least, silver. If Whitlock nails his, his D score is just to high to cope with. Of course both could fail and let in the Armenian or even the Jordanian, but it's still a strong shout. In the boxing, none of the fighters are first seed, but several are seeds, and several more look good dark horses. Could very easily get two golds in boxing alone. could very easily get none (you'll note a pattern) it's hard to gauge where Wiffen is in the 800 and 1500. He must have a gold shot; he may also well finish fifth. Rhasidat looks in superb form and the 400 is not as stacked as it might be, but there are still three or four formidable performers, and I think gold is a bit of a long shot - it is not, however, beyond the bounds of possibility. We always have a shot on the horses, especially in jumping and eventing, and there are genuine gold chances, but only chances, in the rowboats and the sailboats. Lisa Gillespie also has a puncher's chance in the Omnium, imho. Men's rugby sevens, likewise. that spread of chances is very unusual for Ireland. So, yeah, we could win 4 golds, or even more. We could also win damn all! Gotta love the 'Lympics

Disasters happen (see GBR rowing Tokyo 2020) but the point is very much that there is no real analysis to justify the disaster prediction here, just toting up medals and then artificially boosting France, without genuinely analysing where the undoubted home bonus might actually play in this instance. Like, the 2024 worlds aquatics results are broadly meaningless - and yes, 2023 Worlds are also too long ago to be entirely reliable - guess what, this games pool will be a little less predictable than usual - there's no sign of analysis here though - even basics like comparing trials results between competitive trials The idea of GBR taking six straight golds in rowing, and no minor medals at all, is risible. Not as risible in getting medals in events and with athletes not actually in the Games (mixed skeet, jess Gadirova), but still, pretty funny.

I think that is PRECISELY the 'research and analysis' in this instance, as it has been before. Which is all harmless and good fun...except they sell it. And that is not on. We got to look at this for free, so no harm, no foul, but earlier in the cycle they sold it - and clearly the 'changes' in their analysis over time that allowed further sales was simply updating world champs results.

And all....2 of yours. Well, we don't really need to worry about Sedjati, WADA will no doubt take care of him soon enough.

Ever get the feeling the 'research and analysis' on this product at gracenote is pretty much non-existant?

Apparently GBR are going to win only a single medal in artistic gymnastics. That medal will come from the unselected, and injured Jessica Gadirova. They will, however, have an unprecedented domination of the rowing - 6 golds, no other medals. 3 swimming medals including no golds - Mens 4 x 2 only getting silver, and no medal, at all for Peaty. GBR are, however, going to claim a silver in the mixed skeet, which given they aren't qualified for it, is very encouraging. Yeah, I think there's a good reason Gracenote don't tend to release this detail earlier or wholescale. I was always aware their 'predictions' were pretty lame, though good fun. What i never realised is just how limited their research and algorithms were. We could all do this in about an hour, indeed Totallympics do (collating world champs medals in each event) and probably do better by simply checking the startlists on top. How much did this stuff cost to buy a few weeks back?

Odd, I though Vicky might find form, but Bianca in the 200 seems to be doing better. worth noting some improvement in Jessie Knight too. The one thing GBR has in its favour is depth. It has no Bol, No Syd, No Rhasidat..but it has a lot of very good 400 women coming into decent form at roughly the same time - it's a pity that neither Mary yemi nor Ama has quite kicked on this year, but MYJ may still show, Jode looks actually in ok shape, and the Nielsens and Amber look pretty strong. If GB #1 Amber doesn't lose too much to the superstars in 4 or 5 teams, the Neilseens can probably hold their own against everyone else bar USA, and then there's a medal chance depending on who 'man 4' is. FWIW I always like hurdlers on the relay, because they're rarely faster, but they're often stronger at the point the races start resembling middle distance

But as the old Irish saying goes, we must live in hope, should we die in despair. We never win a large number of medals - our sporting landscape historically has been almost anti-Olympic - horseracing, GAA, pre-Olympic golf, Men's soccer, Rugby (15s), and the one or two times we did well, Our swimmer ended up pissing pure Jamesons, and our horse was a junkie. We had the odd excellent boxer, it's true, and a history in middle distance athletics that had seemed to be just that, history. And we were understandbly uncomfortable with the pretty benign but still there jingoism of our big and frankly rather successful Olympic neighbour (hell, I'm part of that too with my odd split Olympic loyalties). It's easy to love the Olympics when you're good at 'em Suddenly, on a much smaller (obviously) scale, with some basic state funding along the GB model, we've discovered we can do some of this stuff. We can row a rowboat, we can sail a sailboat, we can paddle a ... paddleboat, so long as its downhill, we can swing around a horse as well as ride them, we're no' bad at the oul 7's, or with a hockey stick (give some of our lads a hurling stick and watch the mayhem!), we're still good at punching people, our girls even more so than our boys (like we didn't secretly know that for decades!), but we have a lad who is not bad at kicking them too, and we've found a number of good swimmers, none of whom so far are burning the arse out of the test tubes they have to pee in. It's wonderful, and some of them are going to break our hearts, and we need to embrace that. We must live in hope, should we die in despair.

We may smile, but the sheer jammy luck of a non-gymnastics nation like Ireland happening upon a world class gymnast of Rhys quality, who partially benefitted from the British system which itself GBR jammied into thanks to the stand alone brilliance, really, of Beth Tweddle and to a lesser extent Louis Smith is off the charts. Now Ireland has a handful of strong gymnasts, some adopted, some home grown. Having already gone through the rubbing the eyes in disbelief stage with Britain discovering the sport, to find my beloved Ireland going through the same process is wonderfully barmy. So if Rhys wants to train by hanging off the GPO, that' what we let him do!

the answer to that is a limited number of runners-up qualifying for a last 16. if you have a weird number of players, even better. start on the basis of 12 groups of 4, with groups adjusted to 3 for having less than 48 players. 12 group winners, 12 seeds. from there there are any number of ways to get to 16. in this case : 41 = 5 groups of 4, 7 groups of three. Put top 5 seeds in groups of 4. GRoups of three, winners progress. Groups of 4 winners progress and runners up progress- the two lowesr ranked runners up play for the last, last 16 place (which mathematically can never be 1 and 2 seed)

I see Amelie Blockridge won the Euro Jr 5km open water today, backing up her 1500, 800 Jr double a couple of weeks ago...

Add just one more quota, you can have 14 groups of three with byes for seeds 1 and 2. Much more intuitive.

Realistically, who are the genuine individual medal chances?

Stop. It.

It SHOULD be Carl Hestor and Helen Glover. It WILL be Tom Daley and AN Other, quite likely Dujardin though personally I'd quite like it to Becky Downie. I would have said Jade Jones had a big shout, but... Other outside bet on men's side is Max Whitlock. Prediction, CLOSING ceremony will be Adam Peaty and Emma Finucane.

litchfield is already listed for 4x1 free heats, as are anderson and okora in w4x1 and mcmillan in 4x1 and 4x2. they do seem to be treating joe like a liability! Whittle's solo race is fortunate, but is clearly to create maximum flexibility in relays. Guy is intriguing, but he does seem to have found some mojo
