Olympian1010 7,418 Posted September 23, 2019 #72 Share Posted September 23, 2019 if we get more than 2, I’ll be happy. Our best chances are Athletics, Swimming, Sailing. Maybe we’ll get lucky with a wild card for archery. Golf and Basketball have no chance. I don’t really know of any other sports active on the island besides bobsleigh, and we really fucked that up the last time around . At worse: 2 At best: 5 most likely: 3 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Makedonas 1,561 Posted January 23, 2021 #76 Share Posted January 23, 2021 My predictions for Greece Archery: 0-1 (Evangelia Psarra is probably our only chance, it would be her 6th Olympic appearance but she is old now so I don't know) Artistic Swimming: 2-8 (We will definitely qualify in the duet. Team is 50/50) Athletics: 23-40 (We currently have 5 and there are many more who I'm 99% sure will make it off ranking, some others if they improve this year can make it and also hoping for a women's 4x400. We have many good young athletes that might not be ready for Tokyo but in Paris I expect a big team) Badminton: 0 Baseball: 0 of course (but our former national team player Nick Markakis was an MLB All-star in 2018 , and Moustakas in 2015/17/19) Basketball: 0-12 (our men's team should make it but they always choke and have bad luck with injuries in Olympic years) Beach Volleyball: 0-2 (Arvaniti/Karagkouni have some chances to qualify. Would be Arvaniti's 4th Olympics. They missed 2016 because of her pregnancy and got lucky with the postponement of Tokyo because she had an ACL injury and would've missed 2020) Boxing: 0-3 Canoeing - Slalom: 0-1 (small chance for Tsakmakis to make his fourth Olympics) Canoeing - Sprint: 0-1 (I don't know much about this sport but I know we have a young guy Dimopoulos who is decent but probably too young/inexperienced for Tokyo) Cycling - BMX: 0 Cycling - Mountain Bike: 1 Cycling - Road: 1 Cycling - Track: 1 Diving: 1-2 Equestrian: 0 Fencing: 1-2 Field Hockey: 0 Football: 0 Golf: 0-1 (there is some Greek guy from South Africa who is trying to qualify for Greece but I know nothing about golf and don't know if he is any good) Gymnastics - Artistic: 1-2 (assuming Petrounias makes it) Gymnastics - Rhythmic: 0-1 (chance for Eleni Kelaiditi. Our group surely won't qualify which would be the first time since 1996. They aren't good anymore) Gymnastics - Trampoline: 0 Handball: 0 Judo: 3-4 Karate: 0-2 (Eleni Chatziliadou was world champion in 2018 so she should make it, but she was injured and her ranking fell so I'm not sure what her current status is) Modern Pentathlon: 0 Rowing: 4-10 (we already qualified women's pair and will almost certainly make it in women's single sculls and men's single sculls. Also a very good chance for lightweight women's double sculls. Outside chances for women's double sculls, men's four and men's lightweight double sculls but a lot of these athletes are too young and probably will make it in 2024) Rugby Sevens: 0 Sailing: 8-10 (we already have 8) Shooting: 3 Skateboarding: 0 Softball: 0 Sport Climbing: 0? (I know absolutely nothing about this sport) Surfing: 0? (I also don't have a clue) Swimming: 10-18 (we already have 7 and I think we'll get several more. Outside chance for men's 4x200 freestyle which would give us more athletes that probably can't make it individually) Table Tennis: 1-2 Taekwondo: 0-4 (Telikostoglou should make it as he won silver at 2019 World Championships. Tzeli was a medalist at the 2018 Youth Olympics and should have a better chance to make it now that she got an extra year. We have a few others with outside chances) Tennis: 2 Triathlon: 0? (no idea) Volleyball: 0 Water Polo: 13 (unless South Africa and/or Russia don't go and our women make it too) Weightlifting: 2 Wrestling: 1-2 Total Sports: 28 Optimistic Total Athletes: 154 Realistic Total Athletes: 117 Pessimistic Total Athletes: 78 (My math might be off.
