The famous American magazine, 'Sports Illustrated', has released its forecast for the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympic Games, predicting medal winners across various sports. The magazine's analysis indicates that Israel is set to achieve its most successful Olympic performance ever with a total of six medals, including notable predictions for athletes Artyom Dolgofyat and Inbar Lanir. Dolgofyat is anticipated to secure a second consecutive gold medal in the floor exercise, while Lanir is expected to make history as the first Israeli woman to win gold in judo. Her ballet background is cited as a significant advantage in her performance.
On the other hand, South Korea faces a less optimistic outlook, with Sports Illustrated forecasting that prominent athletes such as swimmers Hwang Sun-woo and Kim Woo-min will not win medals. The predictions suggest that Korea will achieve a total of five golds, five silvers, and seven bronzes, but notable exclusions from the medal prospects have left fans concerned. The magazine's analysis highlights the competitive nature of the events, naming potential medalists from other countries that could overshadow South Korean athletes.
