But yet massively overshot the 50 medal target   i don’t this narrative of the games not being a success for GB will hold whatsoever. Lots of nearly moments of bronze and silvers turning int

It is always good to ask questions. But:   UK Sport work on medals, not golds, and do that for a reason. The number of paper-thin 2nd places this time has been rather astonishing, 2 in the p

what a brilliant Madison - fair play to Portugal who utterly smashed it in those last 50 laps, great race.

McGowen decided to block all the uzbek's kicks with her head, completely outclassed. Walkden must be fuming

I mean in fairness to McGowan she earned the spot with her results.

4th round of the diving has probably put paid to any chance of a :GBR medal. Williams still with a chance in theory but will require 2 great dives and mistakes from others. Kothari would require most of the others to...well...drown.

I didn't honestly see it happening!

 

I'm grateful that the other half of my post did not happen though. A mass drowning would have...put a bit of a downer on events. So to speak.

That hasn't stopped them in the past for leaving the current "best" at home for someone who has historically better success though. 

Also am i missing something with the seeding, seems 3 was generous for rebecca and i don't know if you saw the mexican in the fight before but im shocked to believe he's anything but a continental quota, man ran out of energy halfway through round 1, world number 2 apparently :yikes:

When you consider that there's 2 classes being mashed into this the seeding is always likely to throw up some weird results, I guess.

 

Both she and the Uzbeki were silver at the worlds last year. So a bit weird that they were 3 and 6.

 

I suspect Bianca being married to Aaron probably never helps her case...

Charley Hull regretting that the golf doesn't allow you to do a sailing and discard your worst round....

 

Finishes +1 over par which isn't anything special but when you realise that she was +9 over after round 1 it was a solid recovery!

 

Had she been even par in that round she would have been sat in second right now. Not to be however.

France just lost the handball final

Australia lost the water polo final

Japan look set to lose the table tennis final

      The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.

      The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.

      The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR

      That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.

      How Many Medals do You Expect from Your Nation at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026？

      By JockCartier · Posted

      I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird

      The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.

      I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
