Jinzha 513 Posted July 15, 2021 #5 Share Posted July 15, 2021 I'd say has a few safe gold medal picks: Track cycling, men's team and individual sprint (Harry Lavreysen) Field hockey, women's team Sailing, RS:X men (Kiran Badloe) Track cycling is a little hard to say because there has been so little competition, but they were far enough ahead of the rest that I'm still confident. And Lavreysen is still young. Some options that I consider 'safe medals', but not necessarily safe gold medal picks: Road cycling (women's road race and time trial) Mountainbiking (Mathieu van der Poel) Rowing (LW2x and M4x) CCB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodge 681 Posted July 15, 2021 #6 Share Posted July 15, 2021 For Ireland I think only the top one should be safe but ranking them I’d go 1) O’Donovan/McCarthy - Lightweight double sculls - rowing 2) Sanita Puspure - single sculls - rowing 3) Kellie Harrington - 60kg - boxing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobi 947 Posted July 15, 2021 #8 Share Posted July 15, 2021 We don't have a single safe gold medal, but we do have three relatively safe medals: Sandra Sánchez - Karate (Kata) -> Gold (but it could be silver considering that her main rival is from ) Damián Quintero - Karate (Kata) -> Silver or bronze ( gold is clear and then or for the silver) K4 500 - Canoeing -> We should fight against Germany for the gold medal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,504 Posted July 15, 2021 #9 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Nothing is ever safe, but I'd go for this: 1. Women's road race --> Basically all four women have an excellent chance to win the gold. I hope it won't happen, but even a double or triple medal win is not unrealistic (although of course it's the road race, a ton can happen) 2. Women's time trial --> Basically the same sort of thing, although with Van der Breggen and Van Vleuten there's only two and there's always Dygert. I hope Dygert is all recovered and fit, in which case she's the clear favourite (but still a Dutch medal should be fairly safe). 3. Women's 1500/5000/10.000m (whichever Hassan runs) --> She's a gold medal threat in whichever event she chooses to run, and a nearly safe medal bet as well. Gold is a different thing of course, but it's hard to imagine three women beating her. Bonus: Men's mountainbike --> A pretty open field, but a 'normal' Van der Poel really should be a nearly safe medal threat. Forgot women's field hockey, that should be a fairly safe medal as well. Same for certain track cycling events, but there we'll have to wait and see which super round wheels the British will show up with CCB and Jinzha 1 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
