What are everyone's final predictions for our medal tally? 

I will give my sport-wise predictions

Boxing (1S, 1B)
I expect 2 medals given that all of our boxers have the pedigree to win medals. Obviously, Nikhat would be the best bet. I feel the other medal can come from Lovlina/Nishant. 

Wrestling (1B)

I am hoping for a medal from Antim Panghal. She has also got a good draw to win a medal. Hoping others also perform well, especially Vinesh.

Badminton (1S)
Sat-Chi are obviously very big medal favourites. We have won a medal in badminton in either Olympics/World Champs continuously since 2012. Hoping this continues. (I think only China one of Japan/Korea have done the same) Lakshya and Sindhu can also surprise. 

Athletics (1G)

Neeraj is the only realistic medal contender. And I have tremendous trust in his consistency despite recent injuries. Hoping Sable and the 4*400m relay teams also reach the final 8.

Shooting (1S 1B)
Everybody in our rifle and pistol squad can deliver a medal. Just hope they all don't buckle under pressure. I feel 50m rifle three positions (both men and women) and both mixed team events are our best bet for medals. 

Others(1S/1B)
Meerabai Chanu can easily win a medal if she is near her best and not injured. Archery also has good prospects especially if Dheeraj Bommadevara performs well. Men's hockey can also win a medal. They were in good form in the last two pro leagues though this year has not went well. 


Overall - 1G, 3S, 3B - 8 medals.

I'm also pretty much on the same page, but less optimistic about our chances in shooting. Also, I was big on Lovlina's chances in boxing but she has a difficult draw in the QF.

Did the boxing seeds come out? Can you share the boxing seeds?

Never mind found it. Lovlina is facing Li Qian in the Quarterfinals. I would say chances of medals are near 0 because of that

Lovlina did beat Li Qian in the world championship in Delhi on her way to the gold medal... And recently lost on a 2-3 split decision against her at the Czech Republic Grand Prix. So, maybe there is some hope after all 🤞

Yeah! Chen at the last Olympics was also probably a superior opponent. But she defeated her and boxed very tactically. Hope she is able to replicate that.

    • Canada Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina   Ski Sports   Alpine Skiing  (13) - That's been the team size the last couple of Olympics so it's a safe bet again. Cross Country Skiing  (10) - Not too familiar with the qualification system. Probably around 6 men and 4 women. Ski Jumping  (5) - Loutitt, Strate and Maurer for sure on the women's side. Possibly a 4th will qualify. On the men's side, if Bowd-Clowes returns, then he should also qualify. Nordic Combined  (0) - Been a nonexistent sport for a while. No athletes competing in the World Cup or Continental Cup. Freestyle Skiing  (32) - Should qualify a team in mixed aerials which means a maximum team size of 32 athletes. Which athletes in which disciplines to be determined. Snowboarding  (24) - Full teams in slopestyle and big air. Then somewhere between 1-4 athletes in the other disciplines. Biathlon  (6) - Based on the Nations Cup last year, the men finished outside the top 20 and wouldn't qualify a relay team (and that's without Russia and Belarus). With Christian Gow's retirement, that makes things even more difficult. Women's relay should still qualify though. Ski Mountaineering  (1) - Gonna be optimistic here and say that one athlete will qualify either through the World Rankings or continental quota.     Skating Sports   Speed Skating  (16) - 7 to 8 men, 8 to 9 women. For now, I'll say 8 of each gender. Short Track Speed Skating  (10) - Full team size. With the current skill level of the team, anything else would be a tragedy. Figure Skating  (12) - Most likely 1 man (I hope) and 1 woman, then 2-3 pairs and 2-3 ice dance couples. For now, let's say 2 in pairs and 3 in ice dance.     Sleigh Sports   Luge  (7) - 2 women + 1 entry in each of the other disciplines Skeleton  (4) - 1 or 2 men + 2 or 3 women Bobsleigh  (14) - 2 men's crews (in both events) and 3 women's crews (in both events)     Team Sports   Curling  (12) - Full team or else you might as well burn the federation to the ground. Ice Hockey  (48) - Both men's and women's teams already qualified       Total Optimistic Prediction  -  (229) Total Pessimistic Prediction  - (184)   Total Realistic Prediction  -  (214)
    • Besides, I think Eitrem will be better than Ghiotto. You can see it after 1500 meters. He is younger. The whole Norwegian team is also in great shape. You just have to look at the team Norway has, how many new and young skaters there are and in our group A there is one Trentini, who takes last place. In every winter sport we invest too little money to be counted.   If Eitrem has the same form over long distances as he does over 1500 metres, he will dominate this season, not Ghiotto or Roest.
    • Looking at last season's 1st World Cup, it's worse for now and it should be the other way around. Bosa out of shape, Trentini weak. Both will drop to a lower group. It's similar to skeleton, i.e. regression instead of progress. I hope this doesn't mean Ghiotto is also in weaker form, because it could end up with 0 podiums this weekend.
    • In general, our picture for a little over 1 year until the home games looks like this:     - the women's sector is still based on one Lollo, who is 3 years older than 2022, - the women's and men's sprint sector is based on one Bosa and possibly the young Pergher (0% possobility for medal in 2026), - Ghiotto has made a lot of progress and that is a big plus. He could result to give our even 3 medals, including 1/2 gold. Our team's performance also depends to a large extent on Ghiotto's form, - the rest of the men's team is basically unchanged. There is Giovannoni in the mass start, there is Malfatti in the longer distances, but they are not competitors on the podium of a major event.   I will repeat myself: if Ghiotto continues to make such progress, we will probably win 3 medals, 2 of which gold and it will be a success. If something doesn`t work out, an injury, illness, etc. (we know from Vitozzi that this can happen to anyone), then it could be very bad. By the way, this also applies to other sports: the above-mentioned Vitozzi in biathlon, Goggia in downhill, Brignone in giant slalom, etc.
    • With the World Cup season in most of the winter sports about to begin and qualification in some sports already underway, I think it's about time for this thread.    Template    ...

    • Haikou Challenge | Haikou, China   Women’s Tournament Gold-  Xue Chen/Zeng Jinjin Silver-  Molly Shaw/Toni Rodriguez Bronze-  Lezana Placette/Alexia Richard   Men’s Tournament Gold-  Evan Cory/Cody Caldwell Silver-  Thomas Hodges/Zachary Schubert Bronze-  Gianluca Dal Corso/Marco Viscovich   Full Results
    • Today is a day without Italians in the leads positions. I`m worried that they are not trying to revive this our sprint. There is only one Bosa and he is old. Pergher is young but she is also only one. It is a pity. After the Olympics they will probably 100% give up on the entire sprint. Our medal bag in Cortina will depend 90% on Ghiotto, just like it did on Fabris in Turin 2006. If Ghiotto will be in goodshape, he can even win 2 individual golds + a team medal. If not, it will be a flop. Apart from him, only Lollobrigida can compete in the mass start and possibly Giovannini in the men's mass start.
    • Yup, actually they have just some juniors pairs in the dance event
