We have much more events and there may be no Russia in 2026 so most of the NOCs should improve. But not Poland i’m afraid

I’ve had 2weeks long Olympic holidays each time since i graduated from the university in ancient times of year 2003   Both winter and summer. Always.   i had those olympic holidays in every job contract 😉

For sure better for  one silver - I think it was Shelly Rudman, Skeleton.  Can definitely improve on that.   Still remember it as a good games, though - think it was the first time I took two weeks off work to watch a Winter Games.  

He will recover soon, I have no worries about

Anyone wants to add their vote? Deadline is Dec 1st
