You are all welcome to come with further suggestions.

 

I would also like to ask if anybody would be interested to help run some of the contests during the Olympics (in case it will go ahead of course)? As there are many contests running simultaneously, it would be an appreciated help for me and the rest of the prediction group. It would ease some of the workload during the Olympics. 

 

You are always welcome to send me a personal message if you are interested to join the Prediction Group. We can always need some help.

A very good second place for our Slovak predictor, @hckosice Making his nation proud in handball...prediction contests. Congrats with the silver medal.

Last spot on the podium goes to @sami-eg who has been in the best part of the standing throughtout the contest. Not the best Top 3 prediction costed him the gold medal. Still a big congratulation with the bronze medal.

Lastly, thank you to all who participated in this prediction contests. This was the last prediction contest for 2020.

Let's hope 2021 will be the year where we get everything back to a more normal situation.
