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.

    • Finally got in as well after about an hour-ish in line.
    • Nobody in the US watches it is the problem the IOC has. That and it's kinda dead as a grassroots sport - I ski and I've only seen one Alpine board in my entire life. It was displayed in a store as a curiosity and it was *old*. Much easier to participate in snowboardcross at a recrational level.   I don't think it should be removed, but Alpine snowboarding has a perception problem as a dead sport, at least outside of Europe (I don't have a good sense of how often Alpine snowboarding is shown on TV in Europe and how popular those broadcasts are).
    • Got in and registered, though they put me in two separate queues.  Hoping to get into the early Southern California purchase slot, though it seems nothing is certain.
