Wild card for :BHU Bhutan :cheer:

Lenchu Kuenzang it is, according to local media.

She is definitely going for a medal in Rio. "I'm aiming for a medal this time", is what she said after all. She has already been training since April and shoots a hundred rounds per day besides her job as officer in the Royal Bhutanese Police. If this isn't the recipe for gold yet, hold on to your hats because there's more to come: Lenchu is getting in all kinds of positions for one hour every morning during her yoga session, while every evening she spends an hour in the gym :bowdown:

 

Her coach has said her performances are getting very close to the top level athletes in the world and who is he to lie about that? Get your money ready and place your bets, because Lenchu is Kuenzang is coming for the gold :bowdown:

Great focus on his face, I can see a potential medal winner there!

I'd like to switch my first and second choice if possible. :p Palau > Zimbabwe

Clearly you have been paying attention to the wild cards? :p

Palau will have 5-6 athletes, so it will be much easier to follow every one of them closely. Zimbabwe will have 30+, I'm still going to follow them, but not as closely I guess.

    • Oh the 5 minutes debate on penis enlargement live on french public TV  The true spirits of the Olympics.
    • It's funny how for basically every World Cup event we have the TV cameras on the left side of the hills. Yet for every Olympics they always have them on the right side  Definitely need time to adjust. 
    • A bit better second run from Sochowicz, but overally he is second from last now...
    • -  and  -  on the ice right now. Crucial games for 3/4 teams.
    • Congrats man ! First of many of I’m sure 
    • Draw for the 5.000m Men (tomorrow 16:00 local time) is out: https://www.olympics.com/en/milano-cortina-2026/results/ssk/st/m/5000m-------------/fnl-/000100--/race-result   After Lollobrigida’s incredible performance today, it’s honestly getting hard to bet against the Italians on home ice. That said, I still think Ghiotto’s real shot at Gold is the 10km, leaving the 5km wide open for some "untraditional" countries.   It’s truly bizarre to look at a start list and realize that a Czech teenager and a Frenchman are the heavy medal favorites, while the Dutch, who used to own this distance, can barely be called outsiders anymore. If you had told me a few years ago that this would be the state of the 5000m, I wouldn’t have believed it.   My prediction for tomorrow: Sander Eitrem - The heavy favorite after shattering the World Record this season with a historic 5:58.52. Timothy Loubineaud - A massive challenger who briefly held the World Record himself earlier this season with a 6:00.23. Metoděj Jílek - A serious gold medal contender, but I’m worried this is the first time he’ll truly feel the weight of expectations from his home country after his breakout results. Casey Dawson - A podium regular this year who is a strong contender for the top five. Ted-Jan Bloemen - The veteran master of the long distances who always finds an extra gear on the big stage. Davide Ghiotto - Facing massive home-crowd pressure in Milan to keep up with the younger generation. Chris Huizinga - Currently looks like the strongest hope for the Dutch guard. Alexander Farthofer - A rising talent who has successfully pushed his way into the top tier this season.   Riccardo Lorello - Another Italian hope looking to capitalize on the home-ice advantage. Gabriel Groß - A solid mid-pack contender who has delivered reliable results throughout the winter. Fridtjof Petzold - Has shown steady improvement and is now occasionally a fixture in the top half of the field.  Marcel Bosker - Started the season incredibly strong at the Dutch Championships, but hasn't reached that level since. Michele Malfatti - A home favorite who has been hovering just outside the lead group all season.  Bart Swings - His legendary engine remains world-class, but his main focus is on the mass start. Felix Maly - A consistent performer who provides a solid benchmark for the field.  Sigurd Henriksen - Part of the deep Norwegian squad with the potential to surprise if others slip up. Stijn van de Bunt - A massive breakout talent, but the Olympic depth makes moving up a huge challenge.  Shomu Sasaki - A promising young skater gaining valuable experience on the world stage.  Liu Hanbin - Honestly surprised to see him on the start list after that tough injury. It will be a victory just to finish.  Peder Kongshaug - Finished dead last in his only A-group appearance this season and hasn't raced a competitive 5k in months. He's a 1500m specialist who might lack the form for this distance right now.
