Quasit 849 Posted July 26, 2021 #31 Share Posted July 26, 2021 After Day 3 Rio: 40/306 events, 38 NOCs with medals After Day 3 Tokyo: 50/339 events, 51 NOCs with medals Japan, the USA, China and Russia all going very well so far. Compared to Rio, they all have collected more golds already. Especially Japan, as expected. Some dents in the US team (if you can call it that in swimming) and a subpar day for China with no gold won. The silvers in weightlifting, diving and table tennis were mostly expected to be golden. Australia has gained momentum in the pool but only there when in Rio, medals (4-0-3) were won across many sports. Italy surely disappointed with no individual fencing gold and it also looked a bit brighter 5 years ago in general (same amount of medals but 3-4-2 in alloy). Also Hungary (3-0-0) and, interestingly enough, Thailand (2-1-1) have dropped a bit. Significant improvements compared to Rio by (1-1-2). Canada (0-1-3) and France (0-1-0) can be mentioned as well. Historical first gold for the Philippines. The biggest disappointment as to what was anticipated (so far) still the Dutch team but also thanks to reasons we know. 4th place counter* (4) (3) (2) (1) and the Refugee Olympic Team *5th places in events that award two bronze medals Jinzha, Gianlu33 and MagyarBabu 3 Stopped watching sports, there are better things in life.

vinipereira 3,054 Posted July 26, 2021 #32 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Brazil on par with what I've expected so far but I think we'll struggle to get the elusive gold medal (that usually takes at least 5 or 6 days). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdr4332 149 Posted July 26, 2021 #33 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Everything is open so far but as things stand right now IMO it will be around 6 gold medals for rather than the 8 in Rio. I would like to be proven wrong. If the men's sabre team fails to win then even more so. Of course a lot of things can happen in week 2 but I don't expect that gold medals suddenly start to rain on in the canoe kayak track, if we keep up the 3 gold medals there from Rio it would be a very good result. Additional sports also have to chip in for more than 6 gold medals. Milak failing to win the men 200 fly would be the absolute total disappointment of the whole Olympics for us.
