I assume even Canadian users here wouldn't have recognized Boyd-Clowes if he walked past them on the street but in 2015 he was forced to start a crowd-funding campaign just to buy plane tickets to attend World or Continental Cups in Europe (he sat out 2014/15 season alltogether). Back then Taylor Henrich was the best Canadian female jumper and even had two World Cup podiums in 2015 but she has retired after 2018 WOG at the age of 23. At least the article predicted that Abigail Strate will be the best among the next generation. Natalie Eilers used to be Canadian #2 but she was displaced by Loutitt before this season.

Maybe anyone is interested from what I watch in Japanese TV recordings:

 

 

Noriaki Kasai is the special announcer here and he visited the ski jumping venue, surprising Ito Yuki and interviewed by Polish TVP in the process. When Kasai met Kobayashi Ryoyu who just finished his training, his advice to Kobayashi was 'go back with ease, drink some delicious miso soup and eat dry natto for energy'.

Tonight I went out with some British and South African friends and on the Chinese news on the TV in the restaurant they showed Canada winning the ski jump medal (only the Canadian team).  This was in the middle of short track and Eileen Gu news.  Everyone was impressed, and I was impressed that they made a point to show every Canadian jump on Chinese news.  

 

I had already screamed the news of the medal to my friends the night before, so they knew but they got to see the jumps for the first time.  Told them it was like South Africa winning a curling medal or GB winning a hockey medal.  Unbelievable.

What's the Japanese media take on Sara? Based on her instagram she's thinking of quiting the sport. Did Kasai say anything about her?

Well, there was a time :CAN was pretty good in ski jumping. Horst Bulau won 13 World Cup events in the 80s and the youngest ever World Cup winner is still from Canada too (Stephen Collins, Lahti 1980).

When interviewed Sara said she has worked hard for the jump from zero in the last 4 years, and the support from people around her made her continue. So she apologized for failing to meet the expectation and disappointing her supporters. She did not say anything about quitting.

 

Kasai said that just by looking at her he can feel her regret and understood well that feeling.

 

Not much reaction in that show because the TV station which broadcasted the ski jumping competitions is not the same where Kasai was invited. But generally the Japanese public are supportive to her, and media was busy with the mixed team disquaification

We’ve already got one, we’re not greedy.  :thumbup:

You told them wrong. :p

 

South Africa doesn't even have a curling team, while GB can't qualify in hockey like Canada did in ski jumping. A more fair comparison would be like Estonia winning a medal in the biathlon mixed relay. ;)

      The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.

      Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....

      The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.

      The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR

      That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.

      How Many Medals do You Expect from Your Nation at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026？

      By JockCartier · Posted

      I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird

      So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,

      The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.

      I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
