Yeah I hope we can get gold and silver from the women 3m springboard diving.

So starting from 29 gold

the gold prospects are:

A. Strong: Weight assigned: 90%
4 in diving ( men women individual 3m and 10 m)
2 in table tennis ( men and women team)
1 in gymnastics (Chen Yibing in Rings)

B. Moderately strong 60%

1 in athletics (110m hurdle men)
1 in gymnastics (other apparatus)

C. Hopeful 40%

1 in boxing (Zou Shiming, Men's light fly 49kg)
1 in sailing (Xu Lijia, women laser radial now in #1)
1 in cycling track women (Guo Shuang)
1 beach volley ball women

D. Other potential 10%
Gymnastics-rhythmic
Sychronised swimming


So 29+7*0.9+2*0.6+4*0.4+ 2*0.1
=29+9.3
=38 (rounding down)

Very conservative estimate, i think we can achieve it.

BTW, it seems that USA has run out of ammo after the swimming contest is over, and we need more young swimmers like Sun Yang and Ye Shiwen in the future, and i wanna hear the yankees crying about to ban swimming because it is a useless sport just like the badminton and the table tennis.

That's funny XD

Did they wanted to ban them, or they just said it was useless?

We definitely need more swimmers. Sun Yang did so well in the 1500m, even beat his own world record, however there were not many other Chinese swimmers in the same race.

Since there are so many Gold medals in swimming, instead of complaining, we should cultivate more swimming champions.

According to them, any sport that China dominating is a useless sport.

Just 4 years ago, i saw Phelps as untouchable, now he is just nothing, we can have the potential young swimmers from the post-1990s or post-2000s groups to beat him in the future.

Go to the Did you know section 2nd bullet. "Top players previously used speed glue to increase the spin and speed on the ball, until equipment rule changes were enforced to slow the game down."

Chinese players too fast ?

 

[Evil Flare]

Many people struggle to walk on prosthetic, imagine been numb below keen level and to get rest of the body moving, Its takes a real genius and greatest sportsmanship to race like Pistorius

He is a great athlete regardless of what, but i don't think he will be unbeatable in the future.

We beat S Korea today. Our girls in the final round with 7 other top volleyball teams

But he's retired. So you won't have many chances to beat him.
