Neah Evans really didn’t look in the form needed for a medal in the Omnium 

She's been on a downard spiral since 2022, the same thing happened in the Worlds win in the Madison last year where Neah was dying in the last 20 laps of the race, thankfully that day Elinor helped them to just cling on. Don't know how some predicted Neah to get a medal and even challenge for Gold in the Omnium.

Very valid, perhaps best odds on bet 365 could be the comparison metric?

Maybe, although bookies will always set the odds - assuming that they are not idiots - to try and encourage the most betting, rather than necessarily accurate predictions.

Not a great metric, i've made good money of the bookies these games, they had GB team pursuit women has favourites when it was clear they wern't, niche  olympic sports is apparently not their speciality. Triathlon relay they had us as favourites as well, i did not win money on that one but for obvious hayden wilde related reasons.

And GB gets a lane infringement in the women’s relay. Not clear if dq’d yet.

They've already DQed the Swiss. So I suspect we're in the clear in the judges eyes right now. Doesn't prevent another team putting an appeal in obviously.

So in conclusion, using predictions and the return as a measure of success/comparison is a fruitless task and we should go back to just being pleased with 54 medals?

You're allowed one.

As now we come across the world
To share these Games of old
Let all the flags of every land
In brotherhood unfold

    • 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.
    • 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    ...

    • 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
