JoshMartini007 2,130 Posted February 15, 2018 #52 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Comparing Gracenote's predictions to completed events here are the nations which have over/underperformed so far (by total medals). (+3) (+3) (+3) (+2) (+2) (+2) (+1) (+1) (+1) (+1) (0) (0) (0) (0) (0) (-1) (-1) (-1) (-1) (-2) (-2) (-2) (-2) (-3) (-3) Gianlu33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlFHg 330 Posted February 15, 2018 #53 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Still, this seems not a great Olympics for Italy, according to me. Probably I was relying too much on biathlon and alpine skiing. Or, maybe, I thought Italy would have won two gold medals today, so I’m a little bit sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny enough neither of them happened, though Italy did win a medal in both sports. The issue with Gracenote is that it only shows the top three and ignores how close other competitors are. For the bigger nations these eventually even themselves out, but for mid-size nations like Italy it wouldn't take much to turn a 4-5th place prediction into a medal. This is why the Netherlands are doing a lot better, I imagine most of their speed skaters were ranked in at least the top 8 in Gracenote's formula.

Germany is indeed underperforming, today was an absolutely disaster, so many missed medal chances.

What do you mean with "though Italy did win a medal in both sports"? I stopped watching when it was Boe ahead of Fak and Landertinger at the finish, did an italian athlete overtake one of them?

I think tonight's super-g might be a better medal chance than yesterday's downhill. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Italy won medals in both alpine skiing and biathlon, just not in the event Gracenote predicted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
