Olympics 2020/2021 : Discussion & Predictions

[Vishnu.Reang]

They are not always at the top, it's actually the USA who are always at the top and China is just at the top 3.

last 2016 the Rio Olympics, we can see the medal tally.

Rank   NOC   Gold   Silver   Bronze   Total
1    United States (USA)   46   37   38   121
2    Great Britain (GBR)   27   23   17   67
3    China (CHN)   26   18   26   70

Great Britain was the surprise package last time, and they narrowly managed to defeat China. But this time, both the US and UK are doing poorly. It may be due to the COVID pandemic, or may be due to the different weather conditions. Overall, the European and American teams have performed badly this time. And this includes a few other teams, such as Russia, France, Germany and Canada. On the other hand, Asian teams have performed better than what was expected from them (China, Japan, Australia, South Korea.etc).

It's time for the Asian countries now, Philippines got their first gold already and it looks like there are two gold to come coming from women's boxing and men's boxing, I'm very optimistic with that and I like what is happening as this big sports even are not only dominated by the Americans and Europeans, Asians now are competing pretty well.

At least, Ginting got a bronze medal, he won without much fighting, congrats.

Finally a gold medal for Indonesian women's doubles. This is new history, they were able to reach the final and win. CHEN Qing Chen and JIA Yi Fan lost in straight sets. Chinese doubles pair lost 21-19, 21-15. They are the fourth seed and representatives of Indonesia are not seeded.

Nurul Akmal. she growing up in 5th position on qualification Adi Tashkent, Uzbekistan 2020. if she can pass the target 263 possible bronze medal. but I won't much expect because his best score is 261.

For Nurul Akmal it seems he is only in rank 5 he managed to lift 115 kilograms. He has a difference of 25 kilograms from Li Wenwen in first place

In the mens high jump we have a shared gold medal by Mutaz Essa Barshim og Qatar and Gianmarco Tamberi of Italy both refused to fight it out, history made here.

Not following really all events but catching that scene Live is something else. I didn't figure out what's going on first, the Italian dude almost died crying and the Qatari was happy too. Seeing it again in reddit and the comments there made my day. It was the best thing to watch. Fair play.

The journey of the Indonesian women's doubles was not in vain by being able to provide the opportunity for the national anthem to be played.  Even though if you look at the US, the conditions are very much different, but it is a pride for a country that does not support athletes but there are still those who can excel.  Their hard work paid off.  They came home not only with trophies and pride but a bonus from the president also waiting for them.

USA finally won their first Golden medal in athletics event. Valarie Allman won wpmen discus throw competition. Surprisingly, S. Perkovic ended without medal. Maybe it's because of complicated weather conditions she didn't managed to make good attempt. There was raining heavily and competition was interrupted, later it was very wet everywhere.
Man 3000 metres steeplechase for the first time since 1980 (!!!) has been won not by athlete from Kenya - they dominated there for so long. Soufiane El Bakkali from Morocco won it.
Badminton singles final by Viktor Axelsen from Denmark. It's impressive how confident he won competition where mainly Asians dominate. And how emotionally he reacted after he won.

Bonus amount has not been confirmed but the related party ensures that there will be a bonus usually around $100-300k USD for gold medal based on 2016 olympics
Especially if this is the only gold medal it will certainly be very appreciated. Still hoping for another gold medal.

US is catching up fast, but I'm here not for making any judgement. However, Summing up the current medal count which is unfair to host Japan as their positioning low in table. The greatness of sports isn't on winning yet in participating in it. Let’s believe in the spirit of the Olympic.

Definitely now the competition is also getting tougher but China is leading well with 29 gold medals and US with 22 at 2nd rank. It would be interesting to see if this position till the ends remains same or will there be any changed in the rankings. Its always the best matches I feel to watch during the Olympics as across world best players we get to watch.

Yes, they were surprised and now they are down again, so this country is not consistent. However, for China, they have been consistent though they have not topped the medal tally yet, in 2008, they are the next USA though they hosted the event, and until now they are still next to the USA but we are seeing a close race, so they have a chance to end up as the number 1.

Speaking of medals. It looks like China is making good progress in the Gold medals.
Could it be that for the first time in many years, the US will not be able to win more gold medals compared to other countries?

[tomahawk9]

the day is here. Football semifinals,  Mexico - Brazil,  Japan - Spain. First match will be my main ticket:



this betbuilder @3.1 looked really good on paper, but now i have a feeling both teams will cancel each other out, game will finish 0-0 and they'll go to extra time

Yep, it is a motivate, appreciate and prosper for athletes. So for the time being it absolutely must exist. Apart from that, from the state there is also a bonus waiting for the medalists. If in Indonesia 1 billion for 3rd place, 2nd place 3 billion and first place 5 billion in Indonesian currency. Besides that, I think there are prizes from the athlete sponsors.

That's right, GreyAp was really very cool. They are always the mainstay of Indonesia in Women Double.
Their struggle against strong enemies before reaching the final was very tense, but also very exhilarating.
Like Du Yue / Li Yin Hui, Lee Sohee / Shin Seungchan, and moreover is Yuki Fukushima / Sayaka Hirota as number 1 in the world, where previous meetings GreyAp have always lost to them.

And finally, they got a gold medal after defeating the women's doubles from China. Really a thrilling match.

Likewise, Ginting struggled coolly and finally won a bronze medal.

Unfortunately, none of Indonesia's mainstay men's doubles got medals. Even though they are strong men's doubles players. But it's okay, salute them.

Congratulations to Indonesia and especially to them.

Don't know about the recent history but it's actually been fun watching these Olympics.  The swimming races were definitely fun to watch.  Hope the track and field holds up to it.  Never really watched swimming before but some of those matches were tense to watch.  Funniest part was watching the Australian coach basically wig out when they won one of the races lol.  Good times lol.

[KennyR]

I think USA and China has got good set of coach and the perfect infrastructure for the players to train themselves. Because, USA is less populated which makes it somewhat easy to find the right person. In a country like China, among the big population it is hard to find the right player. But they've managed to do it well and making history. Same time a country with similar position has won just two medals. This means, is the country lacking infrastructure or it is the defect in selecting the right person.

Over the past Olympics, USA always on the lead and this is the first time for China to take an early lead though there are still chance for USA to stay on top if their remaining athletes will able to secure a gold medal.

I've been watching gymnastic with the US team and I'm enjoying watching them, looking forward also for the Basketball team to win another gold for US. The host country Japan also doing great, I'm also quiet shock not to see Great Britain in top 3 standing when it comes to medal tally.

We are already assured of a 3 medal haul. Another boxer has another bronze already and be going up for another potential semi-final in his next fight. Eumir Marcial knock out his opponent in first round with still 49 seconds left.

And if another of our boxer won his next fight, another sure bronze for us courtesy of Carlo Paalam.

4th medal secured as Carlo Paalam won by referee stoppage against the 2016 Rio champ. One more fight for a chance at another gold.

Neshy Petecio's match is just over an hour from now. Hoping for that second gold!

EJ Obiena is another one that will be participating in Pole Vault's Final.

Too bad Carlos Yulo missed out on the bronze by a small margin on Vault.

Apart from swimming, in all the disciplines, the American athletes have won less gold medals when compared to their performance in Rio 2016. Even in track and filed, they were disappointing. The defeat in the men's 100m race just sums it up. They were expected to sweep the gymnastics events, but after Biles pulled out, it was a whitewash for them. Overall, this is turning out to be a horrible edition for the Western nations. Right now China is well ahead, and I don't expect the US to overtake them.

For Nurul Akmal it seems he is only in rank 5 he managed to lift 115 kilograms. He has a difference of 25 kilograms from Li Wenwen in first place

She trying enough until attempts 2 (152kg) and 3 (154kg), look hard to bringing up. So far for these Olympic games, she creates good achievements going to the final. Nurul going to be popular like double women's badminton. she is the last athlete from Indonesia, so far 28 athletes and creates 5 achievement medals.

Bonus amount has not been confirmed but the related party ensures that there will be a bonus usually around $100-300k USD for gold medal based on 2016 olympics
Especially if this is the only gold medal it will certainly be very appreciated. Still hoping for another gold medal.

actually getting a gold medal is enough happiness, bonus is just for additional achievement. and I think we have over, no medals again, all games were played.
