After using the 2017 world cup results here to make my own predictive Pyeongchang 2018 medals table, I've done the same with the 2018 world cup reults. A bit more sophistacated this time using either a top 6/8/10 table depending of the sport/events (full detals here)

 

Golds:

 

1.   :NOR  15.5 medals

2.   :GER  11.8 medals

3.   :CAN  9.2 medals

4.   :USA  6.3 medals

5.   :FRA  6.05 medals

6.   :SUI  5.75 medals

7.   :JPN  5.65 medals

8.   :RUS  5.25 medals

9.   :AUT  4.95 medals

10. :ITA  4.6 medals

11. :KOR  3.7 medals

12. :NED  3.25 medals

13. :SWE  2.95 medals

 

 

Medals:

 

1.   :NOR  41.3medals

2.   :GER  33.75 medals

3.   :CAN  26.65 medals

4.   :USA  20.8 medals

5.   :FRA  18.05 medals

6.   :AUT  16.7 medals

7.   :SUI  16.55 medals

8.   :RUS  16.15 medals

9.   :JPN  15.4 medals

10. :ITA  15.2 medals

12. :NED  11 medals

12. :KOR  9.65 medals

13. :SWE  8.7 medals

 

 

According to this:

- Norway should easely secure the top place

- Germany and Canada should complete the podium

- Huge fight for the remaining 2 top 5 places with 7 nations competiting for them (8 even, depending of the success of the dutch speed skaters) 

 

 

how did you get to 6 golds by usa? can be just 3 or more between vonn and shiffrin, then snowboarding and freestyle skiing should bring few more in slopestyle, halfpipe, nathan chen in figure skating, possibly speed skating, i dont think we will get most, but i think 6 is under

World cup rankings, only world cup rankings.

People tend to forget that not only favorites win medals.

And when you do it like this and people ask "but who will win those medals?", they don't understand that you can't really answer that, because it's about the big picture and the big picture only, not about specific events :p 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

but why is world cup rankings accurate? not everyone participating in every world cup, Lindsey Vonn was out most of the season and look at her now, she is not the favorite according to the rankings, but are you going to bet against her after winning 3 in a row? you dont take into account all the parameters if you include only world cup rankings.

 

in sochi usa won 9 gold medals, with a horrible performance in speed skating, like i said, i dont expect us to lead the table in the end, especially with not a lot of medals if any to be won in sledding, cross country, ski jumping, curling, nordic combined, biathlon (unless bailey will show up in top form) but between skiing, freestyle skiing, snowboard, speed skating and figure skating i'm fairly confident we will eclipse the 6 gold and 20 total you predicted (again 9 gold and 28 total in sochi with 0 speed skating medals)

Bailey will need to be in top form not to win a lot of medals, but to have even an outside shot at one medal :p 

 

But apart from that: yeah, that's why I don't think using only World Cup rankings is the best neither. You need a combination of everything.

It’s kind of insane the US won *5* of the *6* X Games events added in Sochi and still only ended up with only 9 gold medals.

 

I think the US is comfortably looking at around 10 golds.

I'm a believer in Bailey! :) i think we can win 1 biathlon medal between Bailey, Burke and Dunklee, a bronze in like a mass start or something

    • HA, shitty food indeed, however we bring something to the world that no arab countries do, Every big tech company working with israeli inventions, google israeli tech and medicine inventions, you'll be surprised, better put your phone down because both Apple and Google invest in israel
    • Gonna call your terrorist friends? Watch out for your pager!   We only killed when trying to get to Hammas that are hiding in civilian population, in Mosques, under hospitals, inside kitchens. The arab world is the one always trying to get into a fight, but every time they start something we knock them out and they start crying to the world, it's no longer working, we simply don't care. in 1948 we were attacked, we won, in 1967 we were attacked we won (while winning the Golan Heights and Sinai which we gave back 7 years later) and in October 7th your buddies decided to fuck around, so now they found out that we are not to be messed with, Iran is jumping now that Nasrallah's death will be avenged, well, i'm looking forward to that
    • They did all that with money of Mcdonalds/starbucks/coa cola ...shty food 
    • and do not quote my comments again 
    • They kill Palestinians all the time during the year from 1948 , steal their houses and richness , torture innocents in jail including kids , they created terrorism to destroy the area ...etc ..etc and they will stop til they kill everyone in this planet according to this telmoud  now world understand what Adolf did       
    • No, it's not, because the other side are openly calling for extermination of Israel and jews, while, if given a chance we would love the whole region to be together and work together, on trade and other things   What do you think the ABRAHAM ACCORDS are? attempt to normalize the region, and if not for October 7th (or biden's election), then Saudi Arabia would've been a part of it. so 100000% Hammas and Hizballah are the bad guys , and even suggesting that Israel are not really shows that you don't understand the region and not truly know what's happening there, and rather parroting what you hear from the media or see on social media.   And if you think that it's a Netanyahu thing, it's not, not even close, the Israeli elected officials support it. Up until 2 months ago, the leader of the opposition Benny Ganz was in a unity government, Leaders of the left like Yair Lapid support the current work in Lebanon.    
    • "We"     But yeah, just saying "oh its war, we are the good guys, just defending ourselves" isn't different to what the 'other side' says. Very plain, very simple: both Netanyahu and his cronies and the terrorists of Hamas, Hezbollah and so on have insane amounts of blood on their hands. They can try to wash it by saying "but the other guys are worse!", but that doesn't work.   Oh well, I don't believe in an afterlife, but if I did, I'd be happy knowing where these 'leaders' will end up, all in the same place.
    • What we did was a payback, we don't have a drop of blood on our hands, they started something October 7th, they thought the pressure from the world and USA will deter us, but it's not going to, we simply don't give a fuck anymore. The blood is on the hands of Hammas, Hizballah, Iran, Qatar and other terror enablers like our terrorist friend over here. This is WAR, and innocent people die in war. Unlike other wars the ratio of terrorists to civillians is much better then any other war.   The amazing pager operation was an example of how we target the terrorists specifically.   It's very easy for Hammas and Hizballah to stop the war in about 10 minutes, give up arms, release hostages and we will stop before the beginning of the hour, but they won't do that. So they will get everything that is coming to them.    
    • Not sure where to post this, but Greece is rewarding all athletes who finished in the top 8 in Paris. 30.000 euros for gold medalists, 20.000 for silver, 15.000 for bronze, and 10.000 for athletes finishing 4th-8th. If you were part of a team, then you only get half the amount.   So this means: 30.000-Apostolos Christou (20.000 + 10.000), Miltiadis Tentoglou 15.000-Emmanouil Karalis, Dauren Kurugliev, Eleftherios Petrounias, Theodoros Tselidis 10.000-Kristian Gkolomeev, Theodora Gkountoura, Emmanouela Katzouraki, Stefanos Ntouskos, Stefanos Tsitsipas 7.500-each member of Fitsiou/Kontou and Gkaidatzis/Papakonstantinou teams 5.000-each member of Anastasiadou/Bourmpou, Malkogeorgou/Platanioti, men's basketball, men's water polo, and women's water polo teams   It's nothing extravagant like other countries do, but some nice bonuses for these athletes, except of course Tsitsipas and the men's basketball players which really don't need this money.
    • after some gazillion of years FC Sankt Pauli won a Bundesliga game   Worth a beer to me ! cheers folks
