The Bluffer's Guide to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics
Hi all
I have written a Guide to the upcoming Olympics, with previews of all of the 339 events. It has all the likely medal prospects, plus every individual or team from Team GB and Team Ireland. Enjoy!

Great work Ollie! KJT must get a medal this time though, fingers crossed...

Nice one Ollie!
All about the athletics for me....just hope times and performances don't suffer too much from having no crowds

These were the top 15 on a non-final version. Think the final version for GB has about 16-24-24 (G-S-B)Thomas Cappleman wrote: ↑Thu Jul 22, 2021 12:54 pm And great work Ollie! What do your predictions make as the combined medal table?

Re: The Bluffer's Guide to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics
It's always possible from an athlete as talented as KJT but her form post-injury has been patchy at best. The heptathlon is difficult to call, with Nafi also failing to completely convince. The Americans look strong but have they peaked too early? Then there's Dadic, Preiner, Broersen, Kriszan and Rodriguez. Who knows!Bradley Horrocks wrote: ↑Thu Jul 22, 2021 6:44 am Great work Ollie!

A lot of work must have gone into that so well done Oliver! (I decided to break with the tradition of changing your name.)

I think we will finish above Australia but Japan to finish 4th or 3rd evenOliver Garner wrote: ↑Thu Jul 22, 2021 8:22 pmThese were the top 15 on a non-final version.
