So for those who missed it, I simulated every quota for the upcoming olympics which you can find here. @Josh I believe you wanted a breakdown for the Canadian team and I will do that below.

Did we actually lose the spot by one one hundredth of a second as well?

I watched the race and yup. We were about 2 seconds ahead 3/4th of the way through the race, but Italy charged and we couldn’t hold on.

The whole organization needs to be gutted at this point. What an embarrassment. 

This has been an ongoing issue for several quads now. Hopefully this is the final wakeup call.

Crushing but hey at least we weren’t going to medal in this event . So it doesn’t effect our medal total but still would be nice to have a men’s event to watch in Paris represented by Canada

In my mind, it doesn’t matter if they have a chance to medal, I want to see us qualify in as many events/sports as possible. If a medal contender fails to qualify though, just makes it that extra bit more disappointing.

To be fair this was the strategy that led the women's eights to the gold medal.

I do too but it takes a lot of the sting away if they didn’t have a chance for a medal

      2026 Winter Olympics - Very Early Predictions

      By copravolley · Posted

      For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.

      If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?

      I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups.

      If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great

      Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.

      Just another reason why it's super dumb that the NOC max in freestyle skiing isn't 40.
