So... are we actually going to beat the gold medal total from Nagano? Lillehamer? I'm starting to get worried we won't even get to the seven gold medal bar.

At this point we would be very lucky to reach 6 gold medals, we just don't have a lot of events in which we are the overall favourite.

Canada has a date with :NED in the semis of the women's team pursuit.

Pretty good race from the women! Based on what we saw in the quarterfinals, beating the Dutch shouldn't be too much of a problem unless they were holding back. Japan is going to be tough though. Hopefully they can come through!

I'm watching the CBC feed online and Kristina Groves and Steve Armitage I don't think realized were being aired and were being a bit frank.

 

And then they both had technical problems.

Do spill the beans. I was on the RC feed.

Ha - it wasn;t too exciting Kristina doubled down on her theory that the Netherlands not training is a weakness and texted someone named "Scott" who corroborated this. She also said Ivanie isn't looking as strong as she did at the fall World Cups but she wasn't concerned about that for Canada. 

 

And then she more demanding to the tech people than I would have been.

Ya, I think that's pretty obvious. :NED has way underperformed their raw ability at every Olympics other than 2014. It's pretty clear that teamwork and strategy actually really does matter in this race, and the Dutch not having a cohesive national team hurts them here.

I didn't say it was great insight - but it was frank insight. :lol:

 

On another a solid 9th place finish for the women's cross country relay - this was a 13th place in 2018/

      The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.

      The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.

      The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR

      That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.

      How Many Medals do You Expect from Your Nation at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026？

      By JockCartier · Posted

      I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird

      So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,

      The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.

      I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
