Olympics preview: Spain eyes more than 18 Olympic medals in Tokyo Xinhua 21 Jul 2021, 10:49 GMT+10 TOKYO, July 21 (Xinhua) -- A total of 321 Spanish Olympians for Tokyo 2020 are trying to improve on the slightly disappointing totals of 17 medals that Spain won in Rio 2016 and 18 from both London 2012 and Beijing 2008. Spain looks to have several surefire medal winners and medal hopefuls. Golfer John Rahm, recent winner of the US Open, placed third this weekend in the British Open and is currently the world number one in his sport. Cyclists Alejendro Valverde and Omar Fraile are favorites for the men's road race, but the 234-kilometer slog with a lot of climbing means nobody can be assured of a medal.
