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.

    • WWE introduced two new Women's Championship belts. The first one introduced was the Women's United States Championship and not shortly after that the Women's Intercontinental Championship. The Women's US Title will be exclusive to SmackDown and the Women's IC Title will be exclusive to RAW.
    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
