My early prediction of China. It's a relatively optimistic version as the host. I may update the prediction when most skiing world cups finished.

 

  • Speed Skating 2 medals (1 gold)

          - Men's 500m and 1500m

  • Short Track Speed Skating 6 medals (3 golds)

          - Men's 500m/1000m/1500m, Men/Women/Mixed Relay

  • Figure Skating 1 medal (1 gold)

          - Pairs

  • Curling 1 medal

          - Women's Team

  • Skeleton 1 medal

          - Men's Skeleton

  • Freestyle Skiing 6 medals (3 golds)

          - Men/Women/Mixed Aerials, Women's Halfpipe/Slopestyle/Big Air

  • Snowboarding 2 medals (1 gold)

          - Men's Big Air and Women's Halfpipe

 

Total 19 medals and 9 golds

9 Golds (which is not so unrealistic I must admit) will certainly put China in the top 4 of the final medal standing which would be absolutely prodigious, marvelous, crazy but truly admirable achievement.

I must admit 9 golds is an optimistic estimate. The official expectation is 6 golds but I insist my prediction (there are many events by scoring you know).:d

I do believe Gu Ailing will have huge home Olympics, also Aerials can very well end by a complete golds sweep for China. I have no idea about Speed Skating to be fair, this is probably the sole WOG sport I have currently zero knowledge about current situations so I will believe in your prediction here :d

 

My biggest concern is about Short Track, this is so unpredictable sport with tones of penalties during the races, that it can perfectly end by your prediction of 6 medals (3 golds) but also somehow without a single one as well :p

 

You know that I am mostly interested on hockey, which usually mostly steals all my attentions during the WOG watching/analyzing/living all games so I am more interesting how your team(s) will perform there. I hope given the circumstances it will at the end fulfills the main purpose of this whole project, to help growing the popularity of the sport in China and it will not be just a one event episode like many are affraid of.

 

However good luck to all your olympic team, it is always good for the games themselves when a "relatively" small (:p) winter sports country do very good at home WOG. :yes

I Believe in a record performance by Sweden.

 

1 gold and 2-3 medals in curling

2 golds in speed skating 

2 gold in biathlon (6-7 medals)

3 golds in XC skiing and another 2 medals.

1 gold in ski cross

1-2 medal in ice hockey or other freestyle events or alpine.

I can't see how Sweden will win fewer than 9-10 golds and not set a new record for total number of medals won at a single WOG (20-25 is my current prediction):mumble:

    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons

    • More AI visualizations of the venues.         
    • I can count for you, but what I will say is that I don't think it was a lot. 
    • Off-topic, when I lived in Beijing there was a park across the street that had all the 2022 pictograms along its fence on the street. They were big and lit up at night. It was really cool, especially because the 2022 pictograms were very unique and creative. 
    • They're not very creative or unique to Italy/Milano, but like others have said, at least they're understandable unlike Paris. These are very generic, though. 
    • National law and sport rules are completely different. Like, there's a law in Canada that if you punch someone in the face you will get charged with battery. But if you're playing hockey and do it, you'll only get 5 minutes in a penalty box. Japan only recognizes gender at birth and this was not an issue in 2020(1).    Any law Trump and the Republicans pass can only apply to governmental organizations, i.e. school competitions. Private sport events, like the NHL, MLB and the Olympics, can still decided who can and cannot participate in what events. If the NHL wants a female goaltender to play, they can do that tomorrow if they want. If the IOC decides Semenya can participate in the female category, then that's their right as a private entity. I'm sure Hitler wasn't happy that Jews, black people and other groups were allowed to participate in 1936, either.    Of course, I've been saying for a long time they should do away with "male" and "female" categories and just have "Over/Under X amount of testosterone" categories. 
    • Yeah, if they have all their FTA* live streams on one page, announced in advance, life will be easier. Before you had to sub to about 7 or 8 YT channels to.know what was on every week.   But the results/events Page is also easier, because previously they used to mix up World Cup & say, Balkan Cup events together.
    • UWW's new rules for change of nationality   this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more.    still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1.    some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament. I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too . https://cdn.uww.org/2024-11/change_of_nationality_regulation_eng_oct2024_final.pdf also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.   it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW. 
    • Roki Sasaki has been posted for MLB transfer. Dodgers vs everyone else Part 175?
