Bold anti-predictions: Teams who will do badly in spite of being among top seeds (badly = finish at least 10 places lower than their seed)
Open -> Netherlands, France, Norway, Germany, Azerbaijan
Women -> China, Ukraine, USA, Spain, England
My (somewhat) wild horse is going to be England in the open section as they always performed well above their perceived value when it came to the Olympiad.
