Tokyo Olympics

[iluvparis]

Target should be 20 gold at Paris in 3 years.
We'll probably get 70+ gold at next years Com games of there on.

We are massively at the top end of projections this time around - would be surprised if we go to another level in Paris - Brisbane maybe once the home team doping program kicks in.

Best hope is to start winning track cycling golds again.

Hard to tell if the Norwegians or the Italians have had the better gear this games.

FWIW here is what I’m on this evening:

Women’s 4x400m relay:

Jamaica to win gold at 7.50 (B365). Yes USA should win, however on paper this race is closer than what many people think. Happy to take those odds.

GBR to win bronze at 9.00 (TAB) and GBR to win a medal at 5.00 (Pointsbet). Feel their best lineup is stronger than anyone else’s bar USA and Jamaica.

EDIT: Jamaica's named lineup is a bit weaker than I thought, so have also backed GBR to win silver at 26 (TAB)


Men’s 4x400m relay:

Botswana to win silver at 11.00 (Pointsbet)
Botswana to win bronze at 9.00 (Pointsbet)
Botswana to win a medal at 4.00 (Pointsbet).
Stacked lineup of fast runners at this distance. On paper their top 4 would be third behind USA and Jamaica so they should medal. Good odds, I think many people are underrating them.

Terrible first handover for GBR made them about 2 seconds to the rest of the field

McDermott with a chance to win high jump with gold...........

 

[Del125763]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so close................wowieeeee

 

[Del125763]

Womens Basketball on tomorrow.

I give the Japanese a chance at the handicap against Team USA

USA 1.05 v 18 Japan

Handicap :

USA -18.5 pts $1.95 v $1.85 Japan +18.5 pts


worth a bit of a nibble on outright on Japan at 17/1 with the view of trading lower in-play.

 

[Del125763]

Most Gold Medals :

Current Tally: China 38 v 36 USA

Most Gold Odds:

China $1.53 v $2.56 USA


it could go down to whatever last event is on tomorrow......

We need more world class athletes outside the pool. I guess it's all linked to government funding.

Exactly...need to find ways to be better at the bikes and on the track.

And without going full hitler it’s also genetics. All the funding in the world won’t win us the men’s 100 on the track.

We need to double down on the rich people sports that poor countries can’t participate in

I laughed but thats so true

Surely somewhere in outback Australia there's an indigenous kid that can break 10 for the 100.

Ha ha quite possible.
I was more talking about the second comment though

I think it will be a tie. USA will win women's basketball and most likely the volleyball.

It will come down to the whether the Chinese boxer can beat the Brit in the womens middleweight fight

 

[Del125763]

in that case - dead heat rules applying may come into play

USA wins a cycling gold medal out of absolutely nowhere thanks to a crazy crash that basically took out the favourites from contention. The Most Gold medals race has been super interesting to watch develop on Betfair

Depends where. Betfair rules:

This market will be settled on the official medal standings at the conclusion of the final presentation ceremony (based on most gold medals, then silver, then bronze) and will not be affected by subsequent disqualifications or amendments.

Looks like that had clinched it for the Yanks

Such a letdown with the Olympics now over. Anyway its been cool chatting with you guys. Hope people made some coin over the last fortnight.

Cheers
