Hoops men and women
Women’s soccer
Men’s water polo
Women’s volleyball
Track relays (4?)
Women’s 100m hurdles?

Any other remaining track events?

I know nothing about wrestling. Looks like one guy is in a gold medal match tomorrow

It’s going to be razor thin either way for golds vs China.

Between now and 2028, we need to get a couple countries to devote all their resources to diving, shooting, table tennis, and women’s weightlifting.

I’m willing to support a foreign aid package to get this done

China has 2 more golds coming up in diving to win the entire event.

Can't anybody outside of China dive anymore.? Its like every country gave up 20 years ago.

I think China has Rhythmic Gymnastics, Ping-Pong, Taekwondo, Golf, Diving and Break Dancing left.

Padded their backend events to steal the gold count.

M 4x100
W 4x100
M 4x 400
w 4x400
M Basketball
W Basketball
W Volleyball (not beach)
M Waterpolo

All Men’s Freestyles besides 86kg are still ongoing and open I think we could get anywhere between 1-4 in wrestling.

Idk anything about weightlifting.

China in the Olympics is like Stanford in the director's cup

Worst case - probably 5 more golds
Best case - 9

should eek out gold wins over China by 2-3.

I’d say with Nevin Harrison and the wrestlers, the best case is 10-11 more..

Women’s golf is also a potential

I think it’s most likely Hall gets the silver based on where both athletes were during the Heptathlon in the last Worlds.

Also, Ronni Yin is in contention for China in golf.

Yeah, I don't think Anna hall wins gold. Lots of field events tomorrow and her specialty is track.

Javelin is one of her worst events. 800m though is one of her best events.. We'll see.

She's good at the long jump and best at 800m. Javelin is her weak spot.

She will have to make PBs in all three events today to win Gold, unless the Brit and Belgian both stumble or choke. But she should win bronze.

We actually have a Taekwondo dude with a chance to win gold today. He won silver in the World Championships and is the second ranked in his weight class.

We have a chance at gold in one of the Canoe Sprints too.

Those would be nice unexpected pickups, along with Women's Golf where we have Norda and Zhang in the hunt.
