thiago_simoes 1,359 Posted September 2, 2021 #261 Share Posted September 2, 2021 A medal for ! I'm surprised! After I didn't expect any new countries to win medals for the first time, especially because in 2016 and 2012 only one new country earned a medal in each edition: in 2016 and in 2012.

vinipereira 3,047 Posted September 2, 2021 #262 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Men's Goalball Gold Medal Match: vs Bronze Medal Match: vs Spoiler China does it again and at this point they may win the final (they were 7th at the most recent world championship). For these matches, Brazil and Lithuania are my picks, but nothing is surprising at this point. Women's Goalball Gold Medal Match: vs Bronze Medal Match: vs Spoiler The expected final. Turkey and Japan are my predictions, although I hope Brazil wins bronze given our historical results: 2004: 7th 2008: 6th 2012: 5th 2016: 4th 2020: ?

vinipereira 3,047 Posted September 2, 2021 #263 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Men's Football 5-a-side Gold Medal Match: vs Bronze Medal Match: vs Spoiler Brazil (and Morocco) for the win, but Argentina winning wouldn't be that surprising - they beat Brazil in this cycle (american championship) and were runner-up in other competitions. Men's Sitting Volleyball Gold Medal Match: vs Bronze Medal Match: vs Spoiler Another gold for Iran, but bronze medal match should be interesting. Brazil got here losing 3 of 4 matches, so Bosnia is my pick. Women's Wheelchair Basketball Gold Medal Match: vs Bronze Medal Match: vs Spoiler Got the Germany prediction wrong but I think they still will win bronze. China is the favourite for gold (they've guaranteed their first ever medal in this sport!), but the dutch team is hungry for the win after 5 medals but no title.

Vektor 3,195 Posted September 3, 2021 #268 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I didn't pay much attention to the Hungarian parasports, so I am not sure if this was expected, but we are having our second best Paralympics ever. To put into perspective, have won 5 gold medals between 2004 and 2016 at the Paralympics, and now we have 7 gold medals in Tokyo, which is a huge improvement in terms of gold medals.
