So, Canada officially ties its best ever non-boycotted gold medal total!  And later today, no matter what happens, Canada will tie its best ever non-boycotted total medal count.    Now

At this point I'm actually pretty bullish that we'll set non-boycott records for both gold medals and overall medals. Knock on wood.   Dare I say it, matching the all time record of ten gold

Bronze for Katie Vincent/Sloan MacKenzie.

 

Another bronze, seriously? 11th bronze so far… this is almost as ridiculous as our 4th place total :facepalm:

Bronze is fine (not great because I was hoping for silver) but I’m sick of it. We’ve won marginally more bronzes than either golds or silvers in both Tokyo and Beijing, and it’s looking like it’ll happen again.

Because Canada produces a lot of good athletes but many of them aren't the best in the world at their event. That's why the 3rd and 4th place totals are high. With the law of averages, some of them will medal while some of them won't. Given the choice between the two, I'll gladly take 3rd place.

Let me be disappointed :d

 

That’s fine, we can agree to disagree I guess, I feel like other than few exceptions (like diving) I can’t really see where that’s the case. Particularly in winter sports.

      How many nations will win at least one medal during the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina ? (0/33)

      By Nicky Pryde · Posted

      Hi !   Like 2024, I'll do the counts of the number of countries who will win at least one medal during these olympiads. The record for Winter Olympic Games is 30 countries for Pyeongchang. Do you think we can reach this score in 2026 ?   Like the last time, I separate all the nations in 6 different categories :         Group 1 (14)   Countries that has reached at least 5 medals in each Olympic Games from Turin to Beijing   For these countries, I'm not afraid for them, I think they'll reach their minimal quota this year.   Concerned : Austria, Canada, China, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, USA + AIN     Group 2 (7)   Countries that has reached at least 5 medals in one of the 5 last Olympiades   I think they'll also gain at least one medal this year, but be careful !   Concerned : Belarus, Czechia, Japan, Latvia, Poland, Slovena, UK     Group 3 (6)   Countries that won at least 1 medal in at least 2 of their participations in Olympic Games from Turin to Beijing   they are still here, but they are not immune to poor performance ! From there, we will take a look on these countries.   Concerned : Australia, Croatia, Estonia, Kazakhstan, Slovakia, Ukraine     Group 4 (6)   Countries that won at least 1 medal in at least 1 of their participations in Olympic Games from Turin to Beijing   We will clearly not bet on them, but they have already the experience of the win !   Concerned : Belgium, Bulgaria, Hungary, Liechtenstein, New Zealand, Spain     Group 5 (17)   Countries that never won a medal in the last 5 Olympiads, but have at least 5 qualified Athletes this time   Maybe the quantity will prime above the quality for them !   Concerned (in order of number of qualified) : Romania, Lithuania, Brazil, Israel, Georgia, New Taipei, Turkey, Argentina, Andorra, Trinidad & Tobago, Jamaica, Greece, Bosnia, Armenia, Moldova, Mexico, South Africa     Group 6 (43)   Else     (please note : I just check that, I don't know which athletes has the best chances in each sports).     So, if we go on the fact that groups 1,2,3 and 4 will win at least on medal for each, we have a base of 33 and make the record ! That will be our goal this time   (Also in the topic, i'll take the count for each Group during these Olympic Games)   Thanks for reading !         Current results   Events : 0   Groupe 1 : 0/14 Groupe 2 : 0/7 Groupe 3 : 0/6 Groupe 4 : 0/6 Groupe 5 : 0/17 Groupe 6: 0/43     Total : 0/33
