Adam Peaty has made a name for himself in the world of swimming, having already won three Olympic Gold medals. And now, he has his sights set on Paris 2024, where he hopes to add even more to his impressive collection. But he's not the only one with high expectations for the British team.
Team GB is aiming for a top five finish at the Paris 2024 Olympics, and all signs point to them achieving that goal and then some. As the start of the games draws near, Britain's top athletes have already made their way to the French capital after a short trip across the English Channel.
In the past few Summer Olympics, Team GB has consistently performed well, finishing third in the medal table at London 2012 and second at Rio 2016. While their fourth place finish at Tokyo 2020 may have been slightly disappointing, they still managed to bring home an incredible 64 medals, including 22 Golds. But the predictions for Paris 2024 are looking even better for them.
According to OLBG's SuperComputer, Team GB is expected to win fewer medals overall at this Olympics, but they're likely to bring home more Golds and place higher up in the table. The SuperComputer has predicted that they will win a total of 62 medals, including 26 Golds, 16 Silver, and 20 Bronze. This would put them in third place in the medal table.
The SuperComputer's predictions also place the USA at the top of the table, as they have been for six of the last seven games. They are expected to win a total of 121 medals, including 39 Golds. China is predicted to come in second with 77 medals, 32 of them Gold.
One sport that Team GB has had a lot of success in over the years is Cycling. And their success in this sport is expected to continue at the Paris 2024 Olympics. The host nation, France, is also expected to do well, with a projected sixth place finish and 16 Golds, their best finish since 1948 and their most Golds since they first hosted the Olympics in 1900.
The SuperComputer's predictions are based on over a century of Olympic history, analyzing data from every Summer Olympics since 1896. It has been trained to recognize patterns in how countries perform across different sports and events, taking into account factors such as the country, sport, event, and gender.
To make the predictions relevant to Paris 2024, the SuperComputer excluded all countries that participated in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, with the exception of the Russian Olympic Committee. They will compete as the Individual Neutral Athletes delegation in 2024 and are not included in the medal table. The model used this data to predict the likelihood of countries winning medals in each event.
And to ensure a fair and realistic distribution of medals, the model allocated medals based on the predicted performances, while also taking into account historical trends. So, while the Paris 2024 Olympics may be a few years away, the predictions are already in and it looks like it will be an exciting and successful games for Team GB.
