Here's a comparison of what GraceNote predicted and what we got.

 

Medals Correctly Predicted

Gold - Freestyle Skiing - Men's Moguls - M. Kingsbury (Got Gold)

Silver - Ice Hockey - Women's Team (Got Silver)

Silver - Speed Skating - Men.s 5000m - T. Bloemen (Got Silver)

Bronze - Figure Skating - Pairs - Duhamel/Radford (Got Bronze)

Bronze - Short Track - Men's 5000m Relay (Got Bronze)

 

Most of these medals were quite likely

 

Medals Predicted, but Wrong Colour

Gold - Bobsleigh - Women's 2-man - K. Humphries (Got Bronze)

Gold - Ice Hockey - Men's Team (Got Bronze)

Gold - Snowboarding - Men's Slopestyle - M. McMorris (Got Bronze)

Silver - Bobsleigh - Men's 2-man - J. Kripps (Got Gold)

Silver - Curling  - Mixed Team (Got Gold)

Silver - Figure Skating - Ice Dancing - Moir/Virtue (Got Gold)

Bronze - Freestyle Skiing - Women's Halfpipe - C. Sharpe (Got Gold)

Bronze - Freestyle Skiing - Women's Moguls - J. Dufour-Lapointe (Got Silver)

Bronze - Speed Skating - Men's 10,000m - T. Bloemen (Got Gold)

 

Six slight overperformance and three slight underperformance wasn't too bad.

 

Medals Predicted, but Wrong Athlete

Gold - Snowboarding - Men's Big Air - M. Parrot (S. Toutant, Got Gold)

Silver - Short Track - Men's 1000m - C. Hamelin (S. Girard, Got Gold)

Silver - Short Track - Women's 500m - M. St-Gelais (K. Boutin, Got Bronze)

Bronze - Short Track - Women's 1000m - M. St-Gelais (K. Boutin, Got Silver)

Bronze - Short Track - Women's 1500m - M. St-Gelais (K. Boutin, Got Bronze)

 

Boutin really saved short track from underperforming by more than expected and it covers St-Gelais who was expected to win four medals and won zero.

 

Medals Predicted, but Failed to Obtain

Gold - Curling - Men's Team (Got 4th)

Gold - Curling - Women's Team (Got 6th)

Silver - Short Track - Men's 1500m - C. Hamelin (Got PEN in Final)

Silver - Speed Skating - Women's Mass Start - I. Blondin (Got 18th)

Bronze - Short Track - Men's 1500m - S. Girard (Got 4th)

Bronze - Short Track - Women's 3000m Relay (Got PEN in Final)

Bronze - Snowboarding - Men's Big Air - M. McMorris (Got 10th)

Bronze - Speed Skating - Women's 5000m - I. Blondin (Got 5th)

Bronze - Speed Skating - Men's Team Pursuit (Got 7th)

 

Curling was very disappointing as we all know. Short track and speed skating also underperformed, but that happens when you rely too much on a single athlete.

 

Medals Not Predicted, but Obtained

Figure Skating - Team Trophy (Got Gold)

Figure Skating - Women's Singles - K. Osmond (Got Bronze)

Freestyle Skiing - Men's Ski Cross - B. Leman (Got Gold)

Freestyle Skiing - Women's Ski Cross - K, Serwa (Got Gold)

Freestyle Skiing - Women's Ski Cross - B. Phelan (Got Silver)

Freestyle Skiing - Men's Slopestyle - A. Beaulieu-Marchand (Got Bronze)

Luge - Team Relay (Got Silver)

Luge - Women's Singles - A. Gough (Got Bronze)

Snowboarding - Men's Slopestyle - M. Parrot (Got Silver)

Snowboarding - Women's Slopestyle - L. Blouin (Got Silver)

 

It's ridiculous that they didn't predict a medal in figure skating team trophy. Everything else you could have argued that Canada may not have gotten top 3 in.

Lauriane Genest might be Canada's next big track cycling star. Considering she was an alternate and broke the Games record (albeit, for just a few minutes) speaks volumes of her potential.

It's pretty sad the state rugby in Canada is in. Sadly the article is correct, most of the money comes from 15s and the federation needs to do everything to keep that program alive, even if it means sacrificing the 7s in the short term.

    • Is it true Mehdi Taremi could face visa issues due to him serving in the IRGC previously? Could US sanction professional footballers playing in World cup under FIFA? 
    • For the summary and lowlights of Thailand's preparation in hosting the ongoing Sea Games, I kindly suggest those who are interested to read from this English language article from Thai media outlet, Thai Enquirer: https://www.thaienquirer.com/63469/thailands-sea-games-2025-under-fire-budget-management-and-technical-controversies/
    • It's all hogwash especially in the short attention span generation. Like nobody cares about Free Tibet anymore either. Free Palestine will last a lot longer due to Saudi Arabia becoming a sponsorship force in sports.   Israel is too weak in soccer to qualify from UEFA zone. The only time they qualified was from the Asian zone and they only beat Australia & New Zealand who were complete nobodies in the 1960s. No such luck in the 60 years since.
    • Oh I assure you FIFA dodger a bullet with Israel not qualifying…   But ya that’s kind of the thing, shut up and dribble is a mantra anti LGBT people have used often. I don’t think it’s hypocritical to remind them of their position
    • Ah, yes but that's not how pro athletes are taught in North America these days? Shut up & dribble is xenophobic, racist or whatever? The hypocrisy of some of these policies were exposed during 2022 World Cup already where the Saudis played it smart and waved their own "Free Palestine' slogans. Forget LGBT rights for a moment, how many 'Free Palestine' flags will be waved in 2026? Or will those be confiscated by default? Somehow I feel this won't be met with similar backlash when China clamped down on 'Free Tibet' in 2008 OG. Saudi Arabia is more important to global markets than Iran & Egypt 
    • Wisła Płock just assumed 1st position after five consecutive draws. Must be first time ever a team on a five match winless streak actually moves up to league top.
    • Well ya, which is why the Egyptian and Iranian teams can shut up and dribble :P
    • The problem is, the World Cup is not a local event. Overall it's another storm in a teacup. LGBT rights in Muslim countries won't change a damn inch becuse of one soccer match in Seattle 
    • After looking at the entry list of athletes in the official website, I've changed some of my predictions in the Olympic events with these changes:   Total Tally: Thailand 87, Singapore 51, Vietnam 48, Indonesia 33, Philippines 24, Malaysia 22, Cambodia 1     Badminton (5): Malaysia 2, Thailand 1, Singapore 1, Indonesia 1   Men’s Singles: Switched from Thailand to Singapore     Boxing (11): Thailand 8, Philippines 2, Vietnam 1   Men: -54 kg (-55 kg): Thailand, -60 kg: Thailand, -63.5 kg (-65 kg): Thailand, -69 kg (-70 kg): Thailand, -80 kg: Philippines   Women: -50 kg (-51 kg): Thailand, -54 kg: Thailand, -57 kg: Thailand, -60 kg: Vietnam, -66 kg (-65 kg): Thailand, -70 kg: Philippines     Sailing (7): Thailand 4, Singapore 2, Malaysia 1   ICLA 6: Switched from Thailand to Malaysia     Taekwondo (8): Thailand 6, Vietnam 2   -67 kg: Switched from  Vietnam to Thailand     Weightlifting (5): Thailand 2, Philippines 1, Indonesia 1, Malaysia 1   Men: -65 kg: Malaysia, -94 kg (-95 kg): Thailand   Women: -53 kg: Thailand, -69 kg: Philippines, -77 kg: Indonesia   * I saw that they have actually change the weight categories to almost match that of IWF newly introduced categories from several months ago.      Wrestling (12): Vietnam 7, Philippines 3, Indonesia 2   Men's Freestyle: -57 kg: Philippines, -65 kg: Vietnam, -74 kg: Vietnam, -86 kg: Philippines Men's Greco-Roman: -67 kg: Indonesia, -77 kg: Vietnam, -87 kg: Indonesia, -97 kg: Vietnam Women's Freestyle: -50 kg: Vietnam, -53 kg: Vietnam, -57 kg: Vietnam, -62 kg: Philippines    
    • Many permutations possible in the last game, going to be a nail-biter!  v  is the live game on the Olympic Channel later today.   2025 WCF Curling Olympic Qualification Event – Kelowna, Canada   Team   Wins   Losses   Men       CHN 6   0     P USA 5   1     P JPN 4   2     NED 3   3     PHI 3   3     KOR 2   4     NZL 1   5     POL 0   6
