Sorry for be late, but as every year FIL open their Luge Predictor   Not great prizes this season, some years ago I won an Olympic mascotte

It's generally just called the skiathlon, so having a 'X km and X km' in the title is a bit confusing. The point is that the race is cut into two halves, one is done in the classic technique, the other in the freestyle (skating technique), so in this case it's a 20km race  

Some early thoughts:   Kaylia Nemour Ariarne Titmus Rebeca Andrade Karlos Nasar Summer McIntosh Pan Zhanle Valent Sinkovic / Martin Sinkovic Leon Marchand Lukas Maertens Keely Hodgkinson Militiadis Tentoglou Adriana Ruano Kristof Milak Veddriq Leonardo Rhys McClenaghan Thomas Ceccon Mykolas Alekna Sifan Hassan Lisa Carrington Natalia Kaczmarek (Bukowiecka) David Popovici Novak Djokovic Tadej Pogacar Carlos Alcaraz Sarah Sjoestroem Yaroslava Mahuchikh Cole Hocker   TBC...

ok, no need to do that, RB has done it before...   https://www.redbull.com/int-en/athletes?filter.disciplineId=rrn:content:collections:dba6b65d-f4ee-4c56-ba2c-556c140f2283,rrn:content:collections:e515fd5c-44c2-4f7a-acad-d637982738f1,rrn:content:collections:6c30a975-7ddd-4e2b-9aab-f0d743c47972,rrn:content:collections:69f49c5f-13fd-4e27-b31b-266c375beb22,rrn:content:collections:4264ed75-3040-488c-b907-6709b3c06ad9   still - it's interesting if they chose the athletes well, if their "stars" will get many medals in 2026... because they will surely get a lot of media attention...  

BTW what a pity there are no active users from some NOCs here, like from some Top 20 NOCs from Paris 24 like

COPY/PASTE THIS and PLEASE ADD A NOC IF I FORGOT SOMEBODY    

I will try to make a list of NOCs where we have some active users here but i'm sorry because i surely forgot someone so please add them to the list.   Idea for this thread is who was the best French/Spanish/Italian/Dutch etc. athlete in 2024 in your opinion? You can nominate one athlete for each NOC.  

I think she’ll get top 6, but no podium. With the amount of medal contenders that we have, there’s gonna be some disappointments (In Beijing we had Kingsbury in moguls even with the silver, Dubreuil in the 500m, men’s ski cross, curling, and our men’s hockey team as the main ones)

So - let's make a list...

Let me be clear:  I don't want to promote this product, this drink. That's not the case.   I'm interested in who's competing in Team RB because i think this company gives a lot of money to the athletes and i wonder if they can benefit from it... how many of them will get medals?
