Keirin is the sprint event that most lends itself to a shock. It showed itself to be a hard track to overtake with its long turns.

The best riders usually congregate in France every year for the Tour De France. This will come not long after the 2024 event

Lisa Carrington (New Zealand)took gold in Tokyo to take her total to five Olympic gold medals along with her fifteen World Championship gold

Mahieu and Daudet have been the most consistent over the last few years and form the main contenders along with Kennedy.

The hope is probably a final between Jones and Zongshi. Zongshi has been dominant especially in 2022

A few months ago, predicting anyone but Korda to win a female event would have seemed silly. However, her form has taken a real dip.

Germany has a particular hold over this event, having won nine of the last ten renewals and eleven of the last thirteen World Championships.

McIntosh is maybe the form shooter of 2024 in any discipline whilst Duestad has been so consistently strong over the last few years.

This feels like a big four of Errigo, Kiefer, Thibus and Volpi. Fencing is not necessarily an event where the favourites prevail.

Joe Clarke (Great Britain) will enter the inaugural running of this event as favourite. He is the triple reigning world champion

The final should be one of the anticipated matchups of the Olympics as Yifan/Qingchen take on Baek/Lee.

Egypt, Hungary and South Korea all have two potential contenders whilst Prades can surely do well at home.

Netherlands have dominated, winning three of the last four, losing the other by penalty shootout and winning the last three World Cups.

There is a possibility that Japan can score a clean sweep on the podium here. However, it does feel unlikely.

This discipline will make its debut at the Olympics as its own entity. Poland and Indonesia are dominating this event

This should be really good. The eight names that make the final will really deserve it and it should be eight really competitive names

United States have won medals at every edition of this event since 2000 and they have a strong hand.

South Korea has won five of the last six Olympic competitions. They have the most strength in depth

This is mainly a battle of names that Olympic fans recognise. The top four from Tokyo could find themselves in those positions again

Perhaps their own challenge is against history and the legacy that this team creates moving forward.
