CCB

You already have Summer McIntosh, let me have women's volleyball 

I know! 
 
How many times have we calculated together whether the Netherlands or Canada will make it? My post was sarcastic. An exciting month of May is coming up. With a happy Josh or a happy CCB at the end.

I’m sorry, but I can’t take any of her results seriously when she was one of the 23 Chinese swimmers who tested positive for TMZ…

Can't wait to finish in 4th place in all the women's relays!!! 

Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone will make her 400 hurdles comeback at the LA Grand Prix 18th of May. 
 
Bye bye chances of Olympic gold for Femke Bol

and now it's official! 
 
the IJF has officially registered Kim Polling's switch from  to  
 
now she can represent  with immediate effect
 
Polling's words on the social media (in Italian...google might be helpful):
 
"Ciao a tutti, mi chiamo Kim Polling e posso dirvi che da oggi posso rappresentare l’Italia. Sono super orgogliosa, grata, contenta e non lo so… ancora mille parole in più per darvi questa notizia. Vi parlo un po’ di me, vivo da otto anni in Italia, mi sono sposata un italiano che si chiama Andrea Regis, anche lui è stato un judoka. Abbiamo una figlia, Aurora, che è nata quasi due anni fa e viviamo a San Mauro Torinese. Ho fatto quest’anno la richiesta all’IJF di cambio nazionalità ed oggi è arrivata la notifica che è stato dato l’ok. Sono davvero super orgogliosa, grata e voglio ringraziare l’Italia, ringraziare l’Accademia Torino, la palestra in cui mi alleno da sette anni e non vedo l’ora per il futuro. Vedremo quello che riesco a fare."

Other notes:
No medal for McIntosh in the 400 free No individual medals for De Grasse or Oleksiak No medals in basketball and football

Gold Medalists:
Harrie Lavreysen - Track Cycling Individual Sprint
Harrie Lavreysen - Track Cycling Keirin
Track Cycling Men's Team Sprint (For me Australia is the favorite with their extra rider and better start)
Track Cycling Men's Madison (Havik and Van Schip only won once accidentally during the Worlds, but with  the Dutch are outsider)
Femke Bol - 400m Hurdles (I truly not believe she's capable to beat Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, how much I wish her to do)
Mathieu van der Poel - Cycling Road Race (Well, he is one of the riders to watch, but so many can win this)
Sharon van Rouwendaal - Marathon Swimming (She won last Worlds because the already qualified swimmers didn't take part seriously in the 10km)
Men's Field Hockey (They have a chance, but for me  and  are bigger favourites)
Women's field Hockey
Tes Schouten - Swimming 200m Breaststroke Did Gracenote ever heard of Tatjana Schoenmaker and Kate Douglass? No.
van de Werken/Lambriex - Sailing 49er
Duetz/van Aanholt - 49er FX
Luuc van Opzeeland - Sailing iQFOiL (Strange format in the final)
Rowing - Men's Double Sculls
Rowing - Women's Four(  is the big boat in this class)
Rowing - Women's Pair(   and  weren't at their best at last year's WCh, but normally those two countries fighting for gold)
Rowing - Men's quadruple Sculls
Rowing - Women's Single Sculls
 
I predict a maximum of 11 golds for us. That still would be an amazing result for our little country. Would be very happy with that.
 
Gracenote predicts only 5 silver, I predict a lot more silver!

Your prediction is much more accurate than Gracenote's, who still thinks Netherlands will win a silver medal at the 4x100 freestyle in swimming  and a total of 18 golds

Gracenote predictions are usually good but they do have some weaknesses.
They underestimate good performances by sportspeople breaking through to top level competition at a young age and, where certain parts of the world have a big advantage over other continents, they rely too much on older global results over newer continental results

Your prediction is much more accurate than Gracenote's, who still thinks Netherlands will win a silver medal at the 4x100 freestyle in swimming  and a total of 18 golds 

Yeah, unfortunately for these types of services, their model puts a lot of weight on the last world championships. For swimming so many people missed the 2024 edition (as expected) that the prediction is skewed. Since Australia depends on swimming for many of its medals, they are going to be severely underestimated in this model.
 
GraceNote would be better off to either combine the times of the last two championships or even disregard 2024 and only use 2023.
