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...
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)
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?
That was the same for me.
And it's obviously too early, just for fun.
Now it's more like predictions for 2024/2025 winter sports World Championships than 2026 olympics actually...
And still - it was done before 24/25 world cup events in some sports started (e.g. nordic combined, downhill and super-G in alpine, skicross etc...)
so it will have to be updated for sure...
