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

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'

Belgium, Liechtenstein and Spain. Maybe New Zealand too

Sorry I had to pick my country :NZL. 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.

I think only biased judges can stop Nico Porteous from winning 1 (if not 2) medals...

 

and you also have some more chances in the other freestyle (snowboard) HP/SS/BA events (and maybe even Alice Robinson in Alpine Skking -GS- could upset a few people)...

 

imho, Liechtenstein is the only Nation of the list not going anywhere this time...

 

Belgium, Ukraine and Spain are really at risk because they have just 1 or 2 true chances...

 

all the remaining Nations will surely get at least a medal...

+ Alice Robinson in GS may very well surprie (and it would not be a so big surprise though)

Australia has a definite chance in monobob. ;)

they have at least 10 chances, imho...

 

women's skeleton, snowboardcross, HP/SS/BA in both freestyle and snowboard, moguls, women's aerials...

 

I doubt they will miss out in all of them...

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

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

Ah yeah, I don't watch aerials. Makes sense. Thank you!

 

Okay, for now I'll stick with my vote for :UKR as it's a jury sport in China with Chinese medal favorites.

:KAZ have had podiums in Moguls and Aerials but none of them have been dominant ones. Zhanbota tried the difficult jumps only in Almaty last year the only time she got a 100 pointer otherwise it's in 80s..  So that is going to be very difficult for all of those.

Kolmakov is their biggest hope I do believe, sure, not the most safe medal contender but for me in a good "crazy" day may surprise no one, already in PC 2018 he was so close and so unlucky. would be a great story to medal here

Women's skeleton is a bit optimistic. Surely Naracott has finished the season in great fashion but she hasn't been nowhere near this level ever before. 14th (+2''64) in the test event (though it was an in October and even Bos was way off the pace then).

Women's monobob is another story ... Walker will probably be selected and she's been really consistent this year.

      I remember when I was a child and I was on holiday with my parents in Tunisia, I think in 1999? We were on a trip to the desert near the border with Algeria. The guide said something like that: Algeria is a few minutes from here but we won't go there because there is a war going on there and it's not safe.

      Netanyahu is bad but unfortunately Hamas helps him maintain power. Every attack they make is a reinforcement of Netanyahu's rhetoric about the country's security, etc. In the fall of 2023, Netanyahu was already losing support and then suddenly a big Hamas attack on a festival near the Gaza Strip. Coincidence? It wouldn`t surprise me at all if Netanyahu knew about the plan for this attack but did nothing so that he would then have the tools to maintain his power. I also remember Ariel Sharon - he was probably even more radical than Netanyahu but he had a brain hemorrhage and fell into a coma.

      Ah yes, post-colonial bickering never gets too old. Let me grab my popcorn!   Netanyahu is on a personal revenge mission to avenge his brother's death for his entire political life and people still act like they're surprised by his actions

      MId-1962.  Almost all the Jews were driven out in a few days, even though they had been living there since Classical, pre-Muslim times.   Perhaps our friend could give us details of of any current Algerian plans to welcome them back, restore their property, guarantee their safety etc etc?

      In what year did Algeria free itself from French influence? 1960, exactly?

      Or better, perhaps he'd like to tell us what happened to the 140,000 Jews who were living in Algeria in 1960, as against the 200 who live there now?

      There are still many people of Jewish origin in Central and Eastern Europe who have nothing to do with the state of Israel. What ties does Zelensky have to the state of Israel? Apart from he waś there as president of Ukraine and speaking in the Knesset? Nothing. In the power circles in Moscow there were/are many people of Jewish origin and what about that? A large part of the power apparatus of the USSR was based on Jews, especially in the years shortly after WWII.   Instead of constantly writing about Jews, would be better to tell me which country Algeria has better diplomatic relations with: Tunisia or Egypt?

      I`m a bit disappointed with the starts of the Italian team. I was counting on progress from last year. And here it looks like Bagnis is still very uneven. In Cortina there will be 3 competitions with medals to win and it would be a shame not to use our track to win 1-2 medals. The same goes for luge.

      On the other hand Errani's serve doesn't make Paolini's task any easier... But Paolini is in a such good shape here, though, that I hope she wins her first title in the old Fed Cup. For Errani, it will be 4: 2009, 2010, 2013. So far, Roberta Vinci has 4 titles with Italy.
