Okay since you kind of called Japan.  Let me ask you about the 2 games that matter tomorrow.

 

 

Ukraine must win to advance.  Any trouble winning over Estonia ?

 

Your take on Romania vs Great Britain ?

Frankly, I don´t think there should be any surprises in these matches.

 

The day off yesterday certainly helped the Ukrainians. They know what is at stake today. And their nature is always the same, They will go for it at full gas, I don´t believe a second that they would be able to underestimate Estonia today. Maybe some small nervousness can tie hands at the beginning of the match, but the significant difference in quality should prevail by the end. No, it´s hard to expect any other result than a Ukrainian victory.

 

The Brits are the favorite too. And I think they will make it too. The Romanians need a hell of big day of their goalie and perhaps tactical substitutions, sending their checking line against the GBR first line regularly with anti-hockey system in an attempt to make them hate the game and eliminate their power. I do not see any other way to reverse the British triumph :p

Estonia had the edge on Ukraine in 2018 and 2019, but since then Ukraine has been better.  How fun would it be to have OT in that game?

 

Romania has no real chance against GB; in recent history against this level of opponent (Division 1A or better) they have one win (against Lithuania) and not many games that were even close.

Ukraine - Estonia. Live. Frankly, I hope our players are more confident than fans, But not overconfident at the same time...

Thank you! And I hoper you team will not have to play against us in Qualificaton. IIHF should give you direct Olympic ticket by that time.

Glad Unkraine made it.

 

I must give credit to Estonia also. They came to play when really there was nothing at stake for them.

    • I'm attempting to create a medal projector for the 2026 Olympics. Instead of just listing the top 3 favourites I wanted to give a percentage athletes have to win a medal. My first events completed were downhill, here are the top 10.   Men's Downhill Athlete Gold Silver Bronze Total  Marco Odermatt 17% 14% 10% 41%  Franjo Von Allmen 17% 11% 9% 37%  Alexis Monney 10% 9% 9% 28%  Miha Hrobat 8% 9% 8% 25%  Cameron Alexander 7% 9% 7% 23%  Vincent Kriechmayr 7% 7% 6% 20%  Justin Murisier 6% 7% 6% 19%  Dominik Paris 5% 5% 6% 16%  Daniel Hemetsberger 5% 4% 5% 14%  James Crawford 3% 4% 5% 12%     Women's Downhill Athlete Gold Silver Bronze Total  Sofia Goggia 27% 15% 12% 54%  Ester Ledecka 13% 11% 9% 33%  Cornelia Huetter 12% 11% 8% 31%  Federica Brignone 11% 12% 11% 34%  Lauren Macuga 9% 9% 8% 26%  Lara Gut-Behrami 6% 8% 9% 23%  Breezy Johnson 5% 7% 7% 19%  Corinne Suter 5% 7% 6% 18%  Laura Pirovano 2% 3% 5% 10%  Marta Bassino 2% 3% 4% 9%   In order to prevent my computer from dying I only ran the simulation 1000 times so no tenth of a percentage is listed. For nations with many athletes I just took the four highest ranked athletes as per event rules and removed the rest. Eventually as NOCs announce their teams I can refine it properly.   Any surprises?

    • They did what the Italians should do, but unfortunately Giacomel has been too inconsistent this season. He has great performances but makes inexplicable mistakes. In any case, Italian biathlon without Vittozzi in great form can count on single podiums at major events at best, nothing more.
