The 2024 Summer Olympics (officially the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad) will be held in Paris during the last week of July and first week of August. The Olympics are the largest multi-sport event in the world, and this year the Games will feature 329 events in 32 sports. With this many sports, many involving individual athletes in sports in which we have no working knowledge, how do we run a contest for them all?
This is the combined contest. All sports other than association football (soccer), tennis, basketball, and volleyball will be covered here, as those sports will have their own contests. The plan is simple. You can choose whatever medal events you want. You will pick the podium, with the athlete(s) (when appropriate), country, and order. You will earn up to 3 points for each medal position, 1 point for picking an athlete on the podium, 1 point for picking a country on the podium (including repeats), and 1 point for picking the correct position on the podium, plus a bonus point for sweeping the podium, for a maximum of 7 points for national representative team events (as the athlete pick is superfluous) and 10 points for others. Picks for each medal event are due at the start of the preliminaries of that event. The calendar can be found on Wikipedia. Pick as many or as few events as you want, but the player with the most points will win this contest and 3 slot-equivalents (making this double-points). Good luck!

More to come... As an addendum, you can post doubles tennis picks here too, as we're only doing standalone contests for the singles events. Beach volleyball and 3x3 basketball picks should also go here.

If there is not interest from at least two competitors other than myself and Firkinvald by Monday, I'm pulling the plug on this contest. There's no point doing all this research to compete against only one person.
