Scoring guide: A correct prediction will result in 5 points. An incorrect medal color but a medalist nonetheless will result in 3 points. An alternate prediction winning a medal of any color will result in 2.5 points. So if I predict for WAG AA 1) Melnikova 2) Urazova 3) Heduit alt: Wei, and the result is 1) Urazova 2) Wei 3) Heduit, I will receive a total of 10.5 points. 5 points won for correctly predicting Heduit’s placement, 3 points won for correctly predicting Urazova to win a medal, and 2.5 points won for my alternate Wei winning a medal.

You do not need to fill out both WAG and MAG. I will keep and update a Google sheet. I will also calculate a cumulative WAG + MAG total.

IMPORTANT NOTE: You have until an hour before WAG AA final to modify your predictions for both WAG and MAG. Obviously you can update your predictions after Qualifications—I probably won’t make mine until then.

OTHER NOTE: You are restricted to one submission per Google account and you CAN edit after submitting.

THIRD NOTE: If you try to be sneaky and list two alternates for any given event, I will nullify both and count neither. One individual/team for each!

Feel free to post your predictions below as comments too, if you’d like.

Thank you! I’ll try to do this tomorrow.

I guess we should all wait until after prelims right? Ha

RAFIKI · Oct 20, 2021

Thanks for running this again. I was hesitant to enter in order to maintain my good record

but I’ve had a bash. I’ve barely seen any qualis routines so it’s quite the crapshoot/some wish fulfillment.

Gymfan93 · Oct 20, 2021

I am unfamiliar with some of the gymnasts, especially for MAG (which I keep meaning to start following but never do outside of Olympics/sometimes Worlds), so I’ve just randomly picked names for several events. I fully expect some surprise podiums, so hoping for the best!
Thank you for running it.

Angelika · Oct 21, 2021

Following my Olympic success (great guessing!) I’ve had another go - I’ve gone for some strange podiums which will totally happen!

Doug1233 · Oct 21, 2021

I was betting on a Wong meltdown but she proved me wrong!

YurchenkoLoop · Oct 21, 2021

I put her as my alternate lol

Doug1233 · Oct 21, 2021

I think me too!

RAFIKI · Oct 21, 2021

Same, I really didn’t see her hitting all four again.

QuietColours · Oct 21, 2021

I can’t remember if I had her or Urazova as my alternate. My answers were such a mix of genuinely trying to make predictions and pure wish fulfillment

RAFIKI · Oct 21, 2021

I often do a separate wish and prediction list. It’s hard to disentangle them though and the wish list has to be semi-realistic.

RAFIKI · Oct 22, 2021

My outsider (at least based on quali rank) pick of Onder for bronze came close (5th) but not close enough. Thankfully I had Kovtun as my alternate.

Gymfan93 · Oct 22, 2021

I’ve already forgotten my random pick for bronze and alt, but pretty sure I had 1 and 2, just the wrong way around!

Well, this shows I do much better when just looking at the standings and guessing than when I let my hopes influence my predictions!

RAFIKI · Oct 24, 2021

0.5!!! Congratulations QuietColors

I’m honoured to be the Hashimoto of the standings.

I’m pretty chuffed with the WAG win. I have the Japanese enquiry to thank for giving me the perfect floor top three. Tbh that was my predicted and my hoped for podium so I was happy despite the controversy.

Thanks again for running this YurchenkoLoop.
