A bit more sophistacated this time using either a top 6/8/10 table depending of the sport/events (full detals here) Golds: 1. 15.5 medals 2. 11.8 medals 3. 9.2 medals 4. 6.3 medals 5. 6.05 medals 6. 5.75 medals 7. 5.65 medals 8. 5.25 medals 9. 4.95 medals 10. 4.6 medals 11. 3.7 medals 12. 3.25 medals 13. 2.95 medals Medals: 1. 41.3medals 2. 33.75 medals 3. 26.65 medals 4. 20.8 medals 5. 18.05 medals 6. 16.7 medals 7. 16.55 medals 8. 16.15 medals 9. 15.4 medals 10. 15.2 medals 12. 11 medals 12. 9.65 medals 13. 8.7 medals According to this: - Norway should easely secure the top place - Germany and Canada should complete the podium - Huge fight for the remaining 2 top 5 places with 7 nations competiting for them (8 even, depending of the success of the dutch speed skaters) how did you get to 6 golds by usa? can be just 3 or more between vonn and shiffrin, then snowboarding and freestyle skiing should bring few more in slopestyle, halfpipe, nathan chen in figure skating, possibly speed skating, i dont think we will get most, but i think 6 is under Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the US is comfortably looking at around 10 golds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a believer in Bailey! i think we can win 1 biathlon medal between Bailey, Burke and Dunklee, a bronze in like a mass start or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
