Ah, and oc, if Italy have a little chance to qualify an athlete in ski jumping, but I guess that "NOOO!" Is the right answer

That would be surprising (no Italian ski jumper qualifying, I mean).

Indeed, the real question is if Kazakhstani jumper will finish last.

The same kind of virus that wreaked havoc on the athletics world champs last year..

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.     15.5 medals

2.     11.8 medals

3.     9.2 medals

4.     6.3 medals

5.     6.05 medals

6.     5.75 medals

7.     5.65 medals

8.     5.25 medals

9.     4.95 medals

10.   4.6 medals

11.   3.7 medals

12.   3.25 medals

13.   2.95 medals

 

 

Medals:

 

1.     41.3medals

2.     33.75 medals

3.     26.65 medals

4.     20.8 medals

5.     18.05 medals

6.     16.7 medals

7.     16.55 medals

8.     16.15 medals

9.     15.4 medals

10.   15.2 medals

12.   11 medals

12.   9.65 medals

13.   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)

naaa, Colloredo won't have any problem to make the top 50 (actually he could even make the top 30) on the small hill

and also Alex Insam most likely will be in Saturday's "real" competition...

not so sure about Bresadola, though (and Cecon, if he starts in this individual event)...

and on the large hill things should be even easier for our guys (always only if we talk about making the top 50 and not more than that, of course)...

I guess Africa, South and West Asia will be the powerhouses of curling one day...
