   What determines a country's Olympic medal count?

   Can a forecast match the Olympic medal totals?

   • As the independent variables do not change at the same rate as the Olympic medal totals, we cannot expect an exact match between forecast and actual medals at stake. Thus, we need to rescale the prediction to the number of scheduled events times three (assuming no double bronze). Further, rounding is necessary to get natural numbers.

   How do you predict medal counts at the Paris Olympics?

   • Sure, one way to predict medal counts would be to go through each of the 329 events that the Paris Olympics will feature and, for each one, figure out which athletes are positioned to do well given their recent performances, age, health and any other factors you think are important.

   What happens if a country wins more medals than it should?

   • If a country wins more (or fewer) medals than it “should,” given its population, wealth and inequality, we simply count their surplus winnings as a factor in their favor (or against them) in our model for the next Olympic year. We don’t need to know the reasons for last time’s medal haul — we can debate those in bars and comment sections.
