To move the discussion about normal speed skating away from the short track thread.. :p

 

- Canada

- United States

 

- Netherlands

- Germany

- Norway

- Finland

- Belgium

- Austria

- Russia

- Czech Republic

- Poland

 

- China

- South Korea

- Japan

 

- Australia

- New Zealand

 

That's 16 countries from 4 continents who have at least a decent medal chance in speed skating ;)

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

And if Pedro Causil continues his brilliant move to speed skating, we might add Colombia and so a 5th continent to it as well very soon :d

The Netherlands dominated Olympic speed skating like that exactly once, in Sochi. It would be a miracle if that happens again in 2018, it's just not realistic to expect anything close to Sochi (when literally everything fell exactly in place). Even in the most Dutch of all distances, the 10k, the best guy in the world right now is Canadian ;) (although he used to represent the Netherlands)

 

And a decent medal chance means that a medal is at least realistically possible, let's say at least 15-20% chance. Peter Michael normally won't medal for New Zealand, but his incredibly impressive debut season shows that he definitely does have more than just a very small chance :)

I'll be very clever and say Senegal might have a medal chance in longtrack....

Can you work out why?

I doubt Daidai Ntab will represent Senegal if he keeps closing in on the Dutch sprinting top, but if he can't quite get there...who knows, it would be just brilliant :d
