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.

Going to go ahead and predict you'll get your wish xD

 

A duel where both Chen and Hanyu are at their best would be amazing.

Marketa Davidova

Dorothea Wierer (individual medal)

Kelly Sildaru

Frida Karlsson

Brittany Bowe

In mixed curling,  Australia getting a medal, as difficult as it seems.

 

In men's curling, Edin winning gold.

 

In women's curling, my ideal final would be between  ROC and  South Korea.

I only have  Kelly Sildaru and  Yuzuru Hanyu on my mind... Originally planning to add Liu Shaoang but will he able to join his teammates in Beijing?

Liu Shaoang is believed to take the flight today to Beijing. He was tested positive 10 days prior to the games so somehow luckily still had enough time to turn negative.

The ones which are at least possible are also the only ones that would probably make me literally jump out of my chair  

 

Baiba Bendika and Anna Weidel , both in biathlon.

 

Baiba because she has been so kind and super involved in training Bruna for almost a year, instead of just giving some tips (which was the original question), she took over the entire training and wrote full and detailed plans based on actual feedback and such, truly wonderful. Plus her sometimes torturous strength trainings gave Bruna a set of nearly iron abs which prevented a whole lot of internal damage in the accident, so that's good. Anna simply because she is too kind. We already knew that, but even more so now: despite being focused on the Olympics, in a team where it really is about actual medals, she is offering whatever help she can and...yeah, generally just a super kind person.

 

Something Brazilian would be cool, but I doubt that'll happen in cross-country skiing (cool as it would be)  And the tiny, existing, but very tiny mega outside chance in skeleton would be awesome of course, but I'm not really 'personally invested' in that, unlike the two biathlon ones.

Sara Takanashi   - Ryōyū Kobayashi in ski jumping.

Anybody who isn't norwegian in cross-country. :D Jessica Diggins , Iivo Niskanen , Federico Pellegrino .

 

Everybody from "small" wintersports nations.

Going for Danish athletes . I see Denmark a lot like my country, we have overbearing neighbours who win a ton of medals. In our case the summer games (Australia). Denmark's case their fellow Nordic giants and Germany in the winter games. 

 

Of course Australia  in particular Scotty James in HP.

 

I have a Russian grandfather . So will have a keen eye on how they go I guess. Although not a keen follower on Russia in sport coz you know 😉.  But that's for another day lol.
