Unruh must be sitting at home crying right now. Can't believe that Peters made the final, Unruh had a huge chance this week. Overall crazy results. Gazoz was the only "expected" individual medalist. Valencia (and maybe D'Almeida) winning a medal wasn't really shocking either, but apart from that the results were very unexpected and probably won't be repeated next year.

Peters wasn't expected to make the podium, but the result wasn't totally unexpected (He was 5th at the WC in Medellin) and IMO his world ranking (#31) is not reflective of his current level. Archery is a very unpredictable sport, anyone can beat anyone.

That's archery for you kinda, although this tournament has been pretty crazy even for archery standards.

4 out of the 8 individual semifinalists are from the Americas, 2 from Europe (if you include Gazoz) and 2 from Asia. Europe might win both golds despite only having 2 out of the 8 individual semifinalists. Always interesting to see the difference between archery and shooting. India (so far), China, the US, Hungary and Norway are doing much better in shooting than in archery. The Netherlands for example is almost nonexistant in shooting. Japan and Mexico also seem to be doing much better in archery.

 

Also interesting: I just looked at the shooting medal from the last olympics and i was shocked to see that India didn't win a single medal while South Korea only won 1 medal. :SMR won twice as many medals as :IND, :JPN:KOR and :GER combined ... :mumble:

Combined number of medals of :IND, :KOR, :JPN, :GER:FRA and :ITA: 3

Combined number of medals of :SMR and :SRB: 4

Interesting that it seems to be more unpredictable than shooting. I guess if archery would have more rounds it would also be more predictable. More shots = Less unexpected outcome.

 Marcus was the current silver medalist, leader of the world ranking and had won a stage of the World Cup that year. For me, he is among the medalists was fully "expected".

    • Besides, I think Eitrem will be better than Ghiotto. You can see it after 1500 meters. He is younger. The whole Norwegian team is also in great shape. You just have to look at the team Norway has, how many new and young skaters there are and in our group A there is one Trentini, who takes last place. In every winter sport we invest too little money to be counted.   If Eitrem has the same form over long distances as he does over 1500 metres, he will dominate this season, not Ghiotto or Roest.
    • Looking at last season's 1st World Cup, it's worse for now and it should be the other way around. Bosa out of shape, Trentini weak. Both will drop to a lower group. It's similar to skeleton, i.e. regression instead of progress. I hope this doesn't mean Ghiotto is also in weaker form, because it could end up with 0 podiums this weekend.
    • In general, our picture for a little over 1 year until the home games looks like this:     - the women's sector is still based on one Lollo, who is 3 years older than 2022, - the women's and men's sprint sector is based on one Bosa and possibly the young Pergher (0% possobility for medal in 2026), - Ghiotto has made a lot of progress and that is a big plus. He could result to give our even 3 medals, including 1/2 gold. Our team's performance also depends to a large extent on Ghiotto's form, - the rest of the men's team is basically unchanged. There is Giovannoni in the mass start, there is Malfatti in the longer distances, but they are not competitors on the podium of a major event.   I will repeat myself: if Ghiotto continues to make such progress, we will probably win 3 medals, 2 of which gold and it will be a success. If something doesn`t work out, an injury, illness, etc. (we know from Vitozzi that this can happen to anyone), then it could be very bad. By the way, this also applies to other sports: the above-mentioned Vitozzi in biathlon, Goggia in downhill, Brignone in giant slalom, etc.
    • With the World Cup season in most of the winter sports about to begin and qualification in some sports already underway, I think it's about time for this thread.    Template    ...

    • Today is a day without Italians in the leads positions. I`m worried that they are not trying to revive this our sprint. There is only one Bosa and he is old. Pergher is young but she is also only one. It is a pity. After the Olympics they will probably 100% give up on the entire sprint. Our medal bag in Cortina will depend 90% on Ghiotto, just like it did on Fabris in Turin 2006. If Ghiotto will be in goodshape, he can even win 2 individual golds + a team medal. If not, it will be a flop. Apart from him, only Lollobrigida can compete in the mass start and possibly Giovannini in the men's mass start.
    • Yup, actually they have just some juniors pairs in the dance event
