While watching a nice game of rugby SCO vs TGA, I was thinking about your comments here and I guess you are absolutely right about McIntosh chances vs Ledecky in W 400m free.
3.56.08 vs 3.58.73 on 2023 LC world lists is a big difference.
So i have decided to upgrade McIntosh to silver and Ledecky gets bronze.
The rest stays the same. Turling is close 4th in M time trial. AUS still beat ITA in m relay by a smallest difference possible.
So it looks like that now:
Day 1 Sat 27.07
1. DIVING - W Synchro 3m Springboard
1. China
2. United States
3. Great Britain
Similar results to 2023 WCH, but this time USA will be able to repeat their qualifying score in the final
2. FENCING - W Epee Ind
1. Marie-Florence Candassamy FRA
2. Vivian Kong HKG
3. Alberta Santuccio ITA
Candassamy, current World Champion and no. 1 in world rankings, winning gold on home soil in style. Allez Les Bleus!
3. FENCING - M Sabre Ind
1. Sandro Bazadze GEO
2. Eli Dershwitz USA
3. Aron Szilagyi HUN
Bazadze making revenge for the 2023 WCH final
4. JUDO - W -48kg
1. Natsumi Tsunoda JPN
2. Assunta Scutto ITA
3. Shirine Boukli FRA
3. Milica Nikolic SRB
Tsunoda coming from behind with an ippon in the final seconds, a final for the ages
5. JUDO - M -60kg
1. Ryuju Nagayama JPN
2. Francisco Garrigos ESP
3. Dilshodbek Baratov UZB
3. Balabay Aghayev AZE
2nd gold for JPN, Nagayama instead of Takato in the olympic tournament turns out to be a good choice
6. ROAD CYCLING - M Ind Time Trial
1. Remco Evenepoel BEL
2. Tadej Pogacar SLO
3. Filippo Ganna ITA
Day 1 is pretty good for current World Champions, so Evenepoel gets gold as well. But it is very close race, all three medalists within 15 seconds
7. ROAD CYCLING - W Ind Time Trial
1. Chloe Dygert USA
2. Demi Vollering NED
3. Grace Brown AUS
First gold of the games for Team USA
8. RUGBY SEVENS - M Tournament
1. Fiji
2. New Zealand
3. Argentina
Aaaaand Fiji wins again, never underestimate the heart of the champion, they say... Ireland 4th after last-minute try by Argentina
9. SHOOTING - Mixed Team 10m Air Rifle
1. China
2. India
3. Iran
Iran hard-won bronze against hosts
10. SKATEBOARDING - M Street
1. Aurelien Giraud FRA
2. Nyjah Huston USA
3. Gustavo Ribeiro POR
And 2nd gold for France on Day 1, no surprise here as well
11. SWIMMING - M 400m Free
1. Ahmed Hafnaoui TUN
2. Samuel Short AUS
3. Lukas Martens GER
This time Tunisia gets gold from Lane 4, not 8
12. SWIMMING - W 400m Free
1. Ariarne Titmus AUS
2. Summer McIntosh CAN
3. Katie Ledecky USA
McIntosh gets her first medal here, much better race for her than 2023 WCH (updated, because previously I thought it could be 2. Ledecky 3. McIntosh)
13. SWIMMING - W 4x100m Free Relay
1. Australia
2. United States
3. China
Aussies with WR, obviously
14. SWIMMING - M 4x100m Free Relay
1. Australia
2. Italy
3. Great Britain
Chalmers denying Ceccon by 0,01 sec. GBR didn't get DSQ this time. But US did.
