Poll #6

I had doubts with and too but at the end I think all will medal. All others should be fine

[Dennis 747]

None of these countries have a lot of medal chances, but most have some:

 

•  Not really familiar with the sports that the Australians are best at, but I'd say a medal in women's moguls, men's snowboard halfpipe or snowboard cross are realistic possibilities?
•  Maybe one or more biathlon medals? Biathlon is very hard to predict with surprises in each competition, but I see a chance there. I don't ever watch sports like aerials outside of the Olympics so maybe they have potential there this time around, but maybe?
•  Bart Swings on the men's mass start in speed skating is their best shot I would say. Again, that distance is always quite a lottery but he has just won a European title and skated some personal bests on other distances this season, so he's in good shape. I would say 1 medal for Belgium.
•  Charlotte Bankes in snowboard cross has good chances.
•  Should definitely get at least one medal in men's shorttrack.
•  Not many medal chances, but doubles in luge?
•  Women's slopestyle?
•  Women's 500m in speed skating, women's 500m in short track speed skating or a surprise medal in men's ski jumping? All very unpredictable events though.
•  Snowboarding: women's halfpipe or men's boarder cross?

 

 

I can't see where ,  and  could win a medal. So I voted for these three.

The only event Ukraine have a chance to medal is Aerials. Novosad won a Women's Aerials  WC this season where fellow Ukrainian finished 3rd. Defending Olympic champion Abramenko has been there and there about in top 6.

The ski speed has gone in biathlon so maybe a 0+0 in relay with other teams struggling, again not very likely.

Ukraine had 5 podium this season in 3 different sports, and 1 victory. If we exclude monobob where they won some B-events, Ukraine had some medal chances in the aerials

[Joshi 126]

Sorry I had to pick my country . We have great chances in womens snowboard slopestyle, big air and mens freeski half pipe. But our winter olympics history is littered with 4ths and 5ths and these are mainly sports down to judges. A lot of the time it can be out of your hands. The great irony in this however is that on the other hand we have more gold medal favs going on current form than Australia.

freestyle, aerials events (men's above all)...

[hckošice 15,181]

All hopes of are in the Moguls I do believe, apart slim but possible chance(s) in Biathlon also in Aerials and not only in the Mixed Team

Curling, skeleton, Bobsleigh ? and snowborading

Speed Skating Mass Start and very slim chance in Snowboarding

Biathlon one or two medals maybe even 3 are realistic + Aerials Mixed Team

Freestyle Skiing and Snowboarding

luge couple of chances also in the relay, Dukurs skeleton story and Bobsleigh

same as Australia

Shorttrack

Short track, Speed Skating ? and old proverb saying always count on Poland in Ski Jumping

Snowboarding and veeeeery distant chance in Figure Skating

 

sadly nothing
