Whose medal in Winter Olympic Games Beijing 2022 would be the biggest fun & joy for you? We only talk about athletes NOT representing your nation.

[Belle 975]

For this thread I’m thinking Dorothea Wierer or/and Petra Vlhova 

[Federer91 2,796]

Dorothea Wierer for an individual medal, but also Marketa Davidova, Tiril Eckhoff, Semen Pavlichenko, Dominik Paris and Alina Kovaleva.

Can you do one for own country too? Which medal would be the biggest and joy for you if we talking about own country? 

Obviously yes!

[Gianlu33 4,572]

Tande or Prevc

[Wumo 3,002]

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:

 

Sofia Goggia - another gold in DH after this Cortina crash

Lara Gut-Behrami - gold in SG

Ester Ledecka - any medal in alpine skiing

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 or

Jessie Diggins - at least one individual medal

Frida Karlsson - at least one gold

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

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

 

Dorothea Wierer - ind gold

Marketa Davidova - ind gold

a gold for

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

 

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

 

[phelps 7,677]

 Irene Schouten (speedskating) because of her story outside the ice track...

 

and  Max Parrot, because I know what he's gone through...

[mrv86 3,138]

Since my expectations for a Mexican medal are so big, here are the athletes I’d like to see on the podium:

 Loena Hendrickx avoiding a Russian sweep in women’s figure skating or matbe one in Speed Skating

 Sildaru

 any short track skater

 Dukurs and any other athlete in luge

 Vlhova

 Castellet in halfpipe

 

I’ll also be delichted with medals by competitors from        &  

 

[Vic Liu 1,682]

I will cheer for figure skating  Nathan Chen or  Yuzuru Hanyu whoever shows the best form. And also  Kamila Valieva, a total enjoyment seeing her skating.
