Only 4 (maybe 5, North Korea's pairs is ranked third) countries should win medals at the AWG.

I'd mostly agree, China, South Korea, Japan and Kazakhstan are all sending most of their top athletes ans will sweep the medals. An outside chance perhaps for Uzbekistan in the Men's Figure Skating and even though the medals don't count Australia may get a podium position!

The Iranian men's ice hockey team will play their matches but the results will not count because many of their team are not eligible,

They lost 8-1 to Macau today.
