Brazil and Liechtenstein qualifying in three out of four events, I'm not entirely sure if that says something about Brazil's and Liechtenstein's youth program or the general strength of the Omega Youth Series....I guess both, a little :p 

Liechtenstein has put legitimate funding into their program. They recently purchased a push track that can be set up anywhere with a enough room. They’ve been trying to build a program because I think it’s a sport where they think they could see some success. Brazil has a good program, there’s just not a lot of interest, and because of how the Youth Series works their ranked higher than some more traditional countries. Overall, every NOC that attempted to get a quota should get one. Really it just comes down to there was enough quotas to make everyone happy, and some NOCs just don’t want to fund a trip to the YOG.

Euro handball is also a useless event, Italians wanted to participate but they have been told that they didn't qualify, that's a disgrace for the competition! I can play handball and I have the right

Damn :LUX had a great men’s skater, but I fear he missed the age deadline. His sister could still be a medal threat. :SLO seems to have a grudge against speed skating. Very happy for :BUL because they were screwed out of that quota original (Swiss beat them on the host quota requirement).

Must be injured or something then? If it’s the kid I was thinking of, he would have been an odds on favorite for a medal.

It's awkward when you say "kid".

I’ve been an adult for over a year now, so I don’t think so. It’s weird that you don’t refer to Olympic athletes as “kid” given your old age :p

3 more stan countries received quotas

 

:KGZ  :PAK:UZB    

 

Meaning only :AFG are the only ones without one. 

What sport? Afghanistan has an opportunity, but their skiers will need to improve.

      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.

      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.

      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 ,
