Surprisingly, the Netherlands don't seem to have that many gold medal favorites this time. In my predictions, I had them only winning gold in the Men's 1000m, Women's 3000m and Women's 5000mm. In every other event, I believe there's at least one other person that's more favoured than a dutch athlete to win. I suppose they could also realistically win a gold medal in the Men's 1500m, Women's 500m and both mass start and team pursuit events.

Absolutely no clue :d But I assume it should be quite a lot as usual, so I go with 9

 

but again, I have no idea. I will have to look at the latest results and what is new in this sport since PyeongChang lol

Surely if :NED win more than 4 golds it will be a huuge suprise. 

 

:JPN :RUS :USA :CAN :ITA :BEL:SWE will win 10/14 golds minimum ( not necessarily all of them but yeah among them 9-10 looks easy)

I don't think the Netherlands will be as dominant as they were in the last two Olympics. I'm thinking 5 golds.

Out of curiosity, how are the Dutch (for some) not huge favorites for both team pursuits?


The Americans set their WR in SLC and against Dutch B/C team. That definitely doesn't make them gold medal favorites.

Huge favourites....not sure, several teams are simply too strong to mention one single team as the huge favourite in my opinion. But they absolutely should be among the main favourites, no doubt.

 

I went for 6 golds, by the way.

 

M 1000

M 1500/5000/10.000

M team pursuit/mass start

 

W 1000/1500

W 3000/5000

W mass start/team pursuit

 

 

As always, it can go many ways. We don't need to see any huge surprises to end up with the Netherlands getting 9 gold medals...or 2.

I think it's gonna be 6 or 7, so I opted for the 5/6 answer...

 

imho, men's 1000m and women's 3000m, 5000m and Mass Start are a lock gold for them...

 

then I see NED as the huge favourites in the men's Team Pursuit and I wouldn't be surprised if they would end up with the men's 1500m gold medal, too...

 

meanwhile, I think they are not going to get a gold medal in the men's Mass Start and the women's 1500m + Team Pursuit, even if they are surely among the legitimate contenders...

 

finally, I'd name any Dutch gold medal over the men and women's 500m, women's 1000m and men's 5k + 10k a true upset...

among the women, imho Japan have some kind of an edge over the NED right now, especially should the ice be quick...

      Kristun Gudnadottir  had a 265.65 yesterday in Olos in sprint, not sure how much that helps. I think in 2022 the reallocation went 15 spots down so maybe, so maybe just teasing again. Or maybe with this new format there is less likelihood of that many reallocations, not sure.

      Oh very cool.  Try <!-- (content) -->, they use it for instructions for tables on soccer events, maybe it can work in a table like you have done. The end should be '- - > ' but when I put it together it makes an arrow on here for some reason

      With the ever-changing world around us, there are still a few things that are constant year after year, and in this case it's Levi being the most boring round in every alpine skiing season (for me). I almost fell asleep twice while watching the second run.

      Truls, the Lebruns, Hugo, and many other non-Chinese men would beg to differ! (The women are another story.)

      Exactly the other example I thought of.   I genuinely think there's an issue with those two sports  - in Diving the rise of GB prevented somewhat embarrassing back to back to back clean sweeps; they would be well advised imho to seek to add mixed synchro, team and high dive events, which could be done faguely cleaply with relatively little rise in total quota (14 fr the high dive - the rest could be found from existing competitors), and uses only another reasonably cheap venue (Basically scaffolding with wrap, a big pool which you can reuse, and temp seating near the beach) - given the increase in beach based events - volleyball, but more so coastal rowing and beach sprint canoe, and possibly triathlon and open water swimming, there's no harm adding a nice spectacular high dive event with about 24 quotas total (12+12) - the advantage being the Chinese are not so into high dive so it automatically jazzes up your medal table - in a way its a pity Gymnastics aren't having a beach based flying rings competition which has a long Venice Beach tradition.   Don't know how we fix Table tennis, truth be told - it is simply 'their' game, in a way not even diving is - they have tables in railways stations and everything.

      I don’t do it manually, I use a script that pulls the data from the ISU website, so same amount of work on my end regardless of how many skaters it is. I would like to hide the lower half of the list, I know that’s possible on Wikipedia, but I haven’t figured out how to do it yet.

      That looks really good. I would trim it down though to only show a few outside of the qualification window, seems like a lot of work to detail irrelevant skaters, but what ever you want to do is surely appreciated.

      Meanwhile Trump retired the addicional taxes in many Brazilian products, its very funny cuz Bolsonaro supporters now see thar he didnt care about him lol.   Actually in think that brazilian economy is in his best moment since 2013/14.   Just 5% of unemployment, the lowest since 2012 and everything pointing to a deflaction in next months.
