A prediction based on data, information and results but 100 days from the start date of the Paris 2024 Olympics, the Virtual Medal Table published by Nielsen bodes well for the blue colors. The American company, leader in data collection, has in fact published the latest update in view of the great French event with theItaly capable of winning 47 medals, obviously only virtually and in the forecasts.
Italy: 47 medals and eighth place in the medal table
The second blue expedition Nielsen’s Gracenote it would be more than positive according to the latest published forecast. This is a study that is drawn up based on the results achieved in the world competitions that were held after Tokyo Olympics 2020 and also take into account the rankings in the disciplines that require it. Therefore, aspects are not taken into consideration (an athlete’s state of form, growth in the last year and other parameters) which are fundamental in the world of sport.
But the desire for the Olympics is growing and therefore it is right to start anticipating the most awaited event for sports enthusiasts. According to Nielsen, the Paris Olympics they will be particularly profitable with Italy capable of conquering 47 medals (including 12 gold) and eighth place in the medal table. An even better projection than what was done on the occasion of the Japanese edition which also saw Italy at its highest in Olympic history.
The 12 Italian gold medals
The study goes even deeper by focusing on which of the Azzurri will be able to put the most prestigious medal around their neck. The possible Italian Olympians are: Irma Testa in boxing, Aziz Abbas Mouhiidine (boxing), Tommaso Marini (fencing, foil), Alice Volpi (fencing, foil), the women’s foil team, Sofia Raffaelli (rhythmic gymnastics), Alice Bellandi (judo), Elena Micheli (pentathlon), Caterina Banti and Ruggero Tita (sail), Matteo Burloni (climbing), Thomas Ceccon (I swim), Vito Dell’Aquila (taekwondo).
No gold for Sinner and Tamberi
12 gold medals for Italy but obviously there are also some excellent absences starting with Gianmarco Tamberi. The Italian jumper is fresh from Olympic gold in Tokyo and from that world championship in Budapest and announces himself as one of the favorites for the title and who instead is only nominated for a bronze medal.
Also missing Jannik Sinner who according to Nielsen is a candidate to win the silver medal on the Parisian clay. Silver also expected for Filippo Ganna and Elisa Balsamo in cycling, as well as for the men’s water polo and volleyball teams. Lowest step of the podium, in the forecast, also for Gregorio Paltrinieri and for his teammates Nicolò Martinenghi and Benedetta Pilato.
United States and China ahead of everyone
At the top of the medal table once again, according to Nielsen data, should finish United States with an incredible haul of 123 medals total of which 39 gold. To the second place goes to China and on the podium of this medal table, which is obviously only virtual, they would end up somewhat surprisingly hosts of France who probably thanks to the “cheering” effect should win a total of 55 medals of which 28 of the most precious metal.
