Norway might be the big favourite, but I think this time it's not so obvious as it was in the recent past...

 

I think there are at least 3/4 Nations (Germany, Sweden, USA...even Canada and China are not to be excluded "a priori") that could challenge the Norwegians with true chances to make better than them...

 

by the way, I still take the "easy" route and I say Norway...

In terms of total medals, Norway is the big favourite and it's hard to see them not winning the most medals. By golds, Norway is still the favourite, but maybe their biathlon or cross-country skiing team have a horrible games and miss out in a bunch of gold medals which could allow Germany or Russia to finish atop the medal count.

It would be a big upset if Norway doesn't win the medal table, and an even bigger upset if it isn't Norway or Germany.

With the exception of sliding sports and maybe Karl Geiger and the Nordic Combined relay, there a no clear Gold medal chances for Germany.

medals table is sorted by number of golds not by total medals

Does China have that many gold medal chances?

yeah, theoretically they have quite a good number of gold medal chances...

if they're going to take advantage of all/most of them, well, that's another story...

imho, they have true gold medal chances in men's skeleton; men's 500m, 1000m and 1500m in speedskating; men's 1000m, 1500m and all 3 relays in short track (and you can't really count them off in any other race in that sport); artistic pairs in figure skating; all 3 aerials events in freestyle skiing; women's half pipe in snowboarding...

I'd be really surprised if they're going to miss more than 25% of all these chances...

    • I’ll start first;   Obviously,  @brunamoura in cross country skiing if she qualifies  (no pressure)    Curling:  Team Hasselborg and Team Edin,  Kaldvee/Lill and to a lesser extent  Team Fujisawa and  Team Schwaller Ice Hockey:  Sweden men’s team,  Arturs Silovs/Teddy Blueger, whichever Canucks are on  United States’ men’s team, and  Finland’s men’s team if Lankinen can keep up his good play (Even though he’s probably going to get traded from the Canucks after this season, he prefers being on a team where he can get more starts than more money. Still I have a soft spot for him) Alpine Skiing:  Marco Odermatt,  Aleksandr Aamodt Kilde Freestyle Skiing:  Jakara Anthony,  Birk Ruud,  Sina Sigenthaler,  Andri Ragettli Snowboarding:  Leon Ulbricht,  Marcus Kleveland,  Anna Gasser Speed Skating:  Jutta Leerdam,  Jordan Stolz Luge:  Thomas Steu/Wolfgang Kindl,  Tobias Wendl/Tobias Arlt   From a Canadian perspective, I’m rooting for our men’s hockey team above all. Then, our curling teams, especially Team Homan if she wins Olympic Trials. Then Max Parrot, Mikael Kingsbury, Eliot Grondin, William Dandjinou, our women’s hockey team, and our ski cross squad. But really I’ll be rooting for all of our athletes. 
    • Decided to start a thread on this early, and get some discussion early    When I mean athletes, I mean athletes from other countries mainly… but ones that represent your country work too

    • I disagree, the Christiansen hit on Kuzmenko was as clean as can be, why would you try to start a fight after that? Honestly, I find it a little pathetic and soft from Pospisil, but maybe that’s just me…
