According to Inside the Games, the supercomputer OLBG anticipates South Korea will win 5 gold medals, one less than in the previous Tokyo 2020 Olympics, and expects to finish 18th overall.
It predicts that South Korea will earn a total of 16 medals, combining silver and bronze, which is also 4 fewer than the previous occasion.
