Petra Vlhová, as I hope she will win her first Olympic medal. I also have a tendency to support and hope the best for Slovakian athletes and Petra is one who deserve Olympic succes.

 

I also hope the best for Roland Fischnaller. To see him finally winning a medal at his 7th Olympics would bring me joy.

Early thoughts:

 

:ITA Sofia Goggia - another gold in DH after this Cortina crash

:SUI Lara Gut-Behrami - gold in SG

:CZE Ester Ledecka - any medal in alpine skiing

:SVK Petra Vlhova - gold in slalom

in men's alpine skiing I like (almost) all of them - so I just want to see great, close rivalry and entertaining races with high level of drama, and let the better man win. The same with men's cross-country skiing and biathlon. And both in men and women speed skating, but here I'd like to see a medal for :DEN or :BEL

:USA Jessie Diggins - at least one individual medal

:SWE Frida Karlsson - at least one gold

at least one surprising gold for :FIN from someone other than their bigger chances, meaning other than Ivo Niskanen or men's hockey team

:JPN Ryoyu Kobayashi - Polish jumpers are so weak this season, so if they can't do it, I would like to see ind gold for him

 

:ITA Dorothea Wierer - ind gold

:CZE Marketa Davidova - ind gold

a gold for :NZL

and many great performences in ladies and pairs figure skating - let the better ones win

 

EDIT: :EST Kelly Sildaru, how could i have forgotten her??? ;-)

:EST Sildaru

:HUN any short track skater

:LAT Dukurs and any other athlete in luge

:SVK Vlhova

:ESP Castellet in halfpipe

 

I’ll also be delichted with medals by competitors from :CZE  :DEN  :FIN  :POL & :SLO

    • For sure better for  one silver - I think it was Shelly Rudman, Skeleton.  Can definitely improve on that.   Still remember it as a good games, though - think it was the first time I took two weeks off work to watch a Winter Games.

    • As a Montreal Canadien fan, I am in agreement. However, he is struggling recently and is demoted to the 4th line this week. Hoping he can turn it around. 
    • I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.
    • Abbagnale boasted that he had 80 per cent a few days before the vote (I still have the screen) and ran again as a result of a power deal. Not a great loss.   I have doubts about the new technical director though, you can't announce him during the congress, brandishing the scalp of the Abbagnale era technical staff (who then, were Crispi's men). Let's hope there are no rifts between the new staff and the athletes, it had to be handled better.
    • I was surprised by Abbagnale's defeat. I thought he was a sure of victory, since he decided to run - I read some source that he didn't know if he would start before Paris 2024. What do you think about it?
