This feels destined to be a France v Denmark final. It has been at the last two Olympics. However, they are playing in the same group

China has dominated this event, medalling in the last four Olympics. Their leading candidate is Langyu Yan (China)

Great Britain has really bounced back to form in recent years at this event but the start to 2024 has been a bit of a concern.

Carissa Moore (United States) is already in the hall of fame and will be looking to add to her Tokyo Olympic title.

Talakhadze will be one of the stronger favourites in the weightlifting events, he barely loses.

The Chinese pair do have the pedigree but I feel this will be the synchronised event where they are run closest.

The course has been designed by the same man who designed the courses for the last two Olympics and it should challenge riders in all ways.

This event is probably the most open edition of it so far without the usual Russian favourite.

This does feel like quite an open tournament. Overall I do think Italy and Spain have been the strongest.

They have also recruited Antoine Dupont, a former world rugby player of the year and early signs suggest he will be just as good at sevens.

France arguably has the greatest talent pool in the sport at the moment though and if a strong squad is picked will no doubt challenge

France is the reigning Olympic champions and will be buoyed by home support. They’ve also won the 2022 and 2024 Nations League

I think this looks more competitive than the men’s competition. Japan have two of the stronger participants

This is perhaps more in question than any time in recent history as some of the best players in the world are from other countries.
