And :AUS, represents with only 1 athlete. The competitor from Australia is Katerina Paul, which was 3rd in the qualifying race at the Seefeld WCHs some days ago

 

 

I guess she goes without federation help then, because Australia already said months ago they wouldn't send a team because of the whole state doping affair (I wonder if other countries are doing the same, even the likes of the US are present).

All of Canada's athletes are self funded.

Well considering that many countries many be forcing athletes to self-fund the field still seems pretty competitive, or at least as competitive as the last Universaide.

Still no official entry lists available, but there are increased entries in Snowboard and Freestyle Skiing (though most of the increase is all Russia who sent big teams). 

 

Also, FISU TV is back!! And you can even view replays on it now!!!

For those of you who can remember the dark days of watching the Universaides on FISU TV, and for those who never did:

 

I really recommend giving the new FISU TV a try. Link: http://www.fisu.tv/

 

The platform has been completely revamped and improved. It has all video coverage of the games and replays from the last summer Universaide. It also has it’s own forums section (where I’ve already been active if you give it a look). The platform looks fresh and you can tell they put effort into it.

The Olympic Channel will also offer around 100 hours of live coverage from the games.

 

The FISU will also livestream the opening and closing ceremonies on Facebook and YouTube.

 

As stated before FISU TV will offer all events, live and replayed, during and after the games.

 

The FISU will also offer live-streams on Livestream.

 

The Russian video network VK (I think) will apparently be the only video platform offering live coverage of Ice Hockey Preliminaries.

That all sounds pretty awesome, although at least the 2017 Winter Universiade was pretty easy to watch via FISU TV as well.

For once an organization made it easy to watch their games :p. I enjoyed 2017 as well, though the lack of replays was annoying.

Yeah, apart from obviously having a good offer I find replays and the ability to pause a live stream and continue watching later (like on YouTube) the most important things :p

Which is all possible on the new FISU TV by the way

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • 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.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • 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.
    • 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 ,
