Personally i don't understand why the youth olympics have to "overlap" with the alpine skiing junior world championships. I think this will prevent some of the best talents from competing at the youth olympics. At least one of the best german athletes (Laila Illig) who would have been eligible to compete at the youth olympics won't compete.

Do we know how many people will compete in Gangwon who previously competed at the Beijing Games 2 years ago?

Don't have any information on that, but i think it would also be interesting to speculate who might medal at both the 2024 youth olympic games and the 2026 winter olympic games.

 

I think the sport where the transition is the fastest/easiest are figure skating, ski freestyle and snowboard. In short track and ski jumping it seems also possible, but in most other sports it seems almost impossible. One exception might be Colturi in alpine skiing.

Honestly, that’s more on the FIS. It seems like a really bad scheduling move on their part.

Yeah, that's just awful planning indeed. How on earth can such an oversight be made? Assuming it's not a conscious choice, because that'd be even dumber.

Brazil should go with 17 athletes which would be our biggest team ever in a Winter competition.

 

 

With a list being here now:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil_at_the_2024_Winter_Youth_Olympics

 

Although that list is not entirely correct. It is in terms of athletes (as far as I know), but not exactly the sports. Julia Reis will indeed do cross-country skiing, but Mariana Silva will be doing biathlon. Nobody really understands why, because in the only IBU Junior Cup in which both competed, Julia was 14 minutes (!) ahead of her, but alright, the ever so mysterious ways of Brazil's snow sports federation I guess :p 

 

I'll ask if the boys are correct, or if one of them is also going to do biathlon.

 

Edit: Mariana will apparently do both cross-country and biathlon, while Julia will only do cross-country.

Think the idea is that Youth are an age-group below Juniors, but of course there is inevitably some overlap.

What all sports will be streamed? 

I guess those requiring less camera and logistics would be - Curling Ice Hockey Ski Jumping Freeski and Snowboarding Skating sports. Read somewhere sliding sports were not going to be streamed leading to FIL step up the pressure on IOC. 

Looks like there will be a good bit of coverage on Olympics.com, judging from the first day - curling, ski jumping, short track.

    • Stage 14 in Semmering (AUT)   Women´s Giant Slalom:   1. Julia Scheib    1:56.46 2. Camille Rast    1:56.60 3. Sara Hector   1:56.86   Full Final Results HERE
    • Stage 13 in Livigno (ITA)   Men´s Super-G:   1. Marco Schwarz    1:10.33 2. Alexis Monney   1:10.53 3. Franjo Von Allmen   1:10.58   Full Final Results HERE
    • I won't write about injuries (Fede) and non-sporting matters (Colturi), but the fact is that Italy has its worst start to the season in alpine skiing in over 10 years... Just one victory, and podiums- if any, they're mostly 3 places. We're also not leading in any of the season standings, no in the women's or men's categories. This isn't be it should be in an Olympic year in your country, where you're having your worst season in many years.
    • Plaisier blew 3 match darts and Ratajski comes back to win!    
    • Yes, she was unlucky, but it could just as easily have happened during some training, like with Gut, etc. Brignone has been essentially injury-free throughout her long career, which is very rare in this sport. It's unfortunate that this happened after her best season ever and just 1 year before the Olympic Games in home, when she just missing of win the Olympic gold medal in her great career. With the gold in Cortina, she would have become a legend of Italian skiing, on par with Tomba. Now she's still the best Italian woman in history, but the miss of Olympic gold will likely haunt her for the rest of her life. 
    • It sad to see this season, as I remember, that Fede last year was winning everywhere, when she competed and finished and now we haven't even managed a single podium in the giant slalom, and it'll probably stay that way until the end of the season. Without Fede and Bassino, unfortunately, we're out of good cards in this event. For me Goggia should probably skip the giant slalom at all, becouse she has no chance of a podium and she risks further injuries. If even Goggia finish 8th or 10th? What difference does it make? If she couldn't get a podium finish today with so many DNFs at the top skiers, she probably never do. Della Mea is OK this year, but let's be honest, she's not World Cup podium material. Overall, it's a sad picture, and we have a 0% chance of anything in Cortina unless a miracle happens in Brignone return.   We have two chances for Goggia in DH and SG + maybe a dark horse in Pirovano/Curtoni in SG. That's all. In technical events, we have a 0% chance for medal and that's sad. Our federation also lost Colturi in this situation... In any normal country, the head of such a federation should be dismissed for disciplinary reasons and this case should be investigated by the minister, or even the prime minister, but not in Italy...
    • Mikaela Shiffrin  off the podium today (Edit: Oops...I thought this was slalom, not Giant Slalom.).  Nina Astner  entered the 2nd run in 30th place, but had the best second run, jumping up 18 places to 12th.
    • Maryna Gąsienica-Daniel with a 5th place PB in Semmering GS! 
    • Today RDC will defeat Senegal  and Tunisia 0-0 Nigeria
