2016 Rio Olympic Games: Calympian medal predictions, expect a record high 25

CGB’s self proclaimed Olympics “expert”, Ruey Yen, is predicting that the 42 Calympians will win 25 medals. This will be the best Calympic ever.

Opening ceremony of the 2016 Rio Olympic Games is tonight. A full slate of action will commence tomorrow on Saturday, August 6th. Since I have been writing the Calympian profiles for the 42 Cal athletes (again, I am counting US swimmer Cierra Runge despite her transfer to Wisconsin, unlike the official Cal Athletics info), I figure it is time to make some predictions on how many Calympians will medal.

To make things easier, I will organize the Calympians and their events into different tiers of medaling probability.
