And a small poll for all the members, but specially for our users from not-winter-sports-powerhouse-countries. I am sorry if I forgot someone.

Bychenko Figure Skating or Bykanov Short Track

[dcro 10,210]

Have a feeling it will be one of the Irish (their snowboarder or free skier). Small chance it turns out to be Maloney.

 

Carillo can beat Bychenko in M figure skating.

most likely,  Bykanov (men's short track), but I'm rooting for  Silveira (women's skeleton)...

 

by the way,  Iran could truly win a medal thanks to Khalili (men's biathlon), even if under the colours of  ROC...

I too was going to mention  halfpipe duo as well, but I agree with @phelps that most likely options are Bykanov  and Silveira

 

Silveira was 8th at the test event earlier this year, but it’s hard to know how much to read into those results.

In terms of athletes not mentioned in the options, or by other users above…Ohaco  could be someone worth considering here.  are also capable of decent results in figure skating.

no he has Afghan heritage. our names are a bit similar sometimes but that's obvious from his given name

Ah, OK...

 

thanks...

 

I wrote that because our main Winter sports expert a few weeks ago, in one of the races in Oberhof said he has Iranian heritage...

 

but it looks he was wrong...which is really unusual...so, now I can go and troll him on twitter for that!

There’s a / woman ski jumper: not likely to medal though.

Bychenko flopped in figure skating but Szollos vs Gower in alpine combined could decide the outcome of this poll?
