Jordan Stolz proves he is human.  Falls in the opening 100m of the 1000m Olympic Trials.  (But he was pre-qualified, and he still finished 3rd overall.)

Desert Classic is going on in SLC, kind of the season opener there. Nothing too interesting, except for one thing: Arianna Fontana is competing (and doing well in what seems to be her first speed skat

Yeah, you've decided to keep going on this ultrapessimist streak? Alrighty. I honestly don't think any Italian skater can even get into the top-6 in any event at all, it's a miracle they qualified

He also apparently hasn't been feeling well.  The rules state he had to start the race, so after a disappointing (but still 1st place) 500m today, he only started the 1500m soon after and then DNFed.

:CAN is a super serious speed skating country, which means we have our own matrix too!

 

The women's matrix has been fully filled out, and we now pretty much know the eight women who will be named to the team. The men's matrix still has a couple question marks (who will be the second starter in the mass start, and assuming it's a new name whether the 3rd 500m spot or the 2nd 1500m spot will have priority).

The USA just finished our trials.  We're using 13 out of its 14 allowed slots, per my count.  Not sure what implication this have for other nations.  We're using 7 men and 6 women (but we are filling up all the slots per discipline that we're allotted, so probably other nations won't be affected).

This could have implications towards the "164 entered athletes" limit. If this standard is not reached then quotas will be de-allocated, starting with the 500m and upwards.

Second to last column is the maximum number of athletes NOC can enter, last column is the actual number they entered or (will enter) in my opinion. 

So if I'm correct in my assumptions and in the best case scenario 160 skaters will get a spot. No deallocation needed. This includes :POR rejecting their wMS quota as Jessica Rodrigues doesn't meet the time criterion, same for :DEN Due Schmidt in the mMS. With Portugal out the last MS quota would be reallocated to :FRA opening the door for a second French women quota. 

In the "worst case" it would amount to 174, which would be problematic.

Italy will field 9 people (assuming Rossi does not make it to the mass event as the 2nd person): 6 men and 3 women.

Are you sure of that ? She could be fielded as starter for the mass-start and Lollobrigida would then receive an additional starting spot, as Italy/Rossi is in the reserve list. On the other hand maybe there's a chance Pergher will start both 500 and 1000 and Vigl wouldn't get a spot, though the latter has a slight edge this year over 1km. 

On the men's side 6 is indeed likely. I guess Rosanelli or Bosa (500), Di Stefano (1000, 1500, MS, TP), Ghiotto (5000, 10000, TP), Malfatti (5000, TP), Lorello (5000, 10000, TP), Giovannini (MS, TP).

      2026 Winter Olympics - Very Early Predictions

      By copravolley · Posted

      For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.

      Totallympics Annual International Song Contest 2025

      By mrv86 · Posted

      If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?

      2026 Winter Olympics - Very Early Predictions

      By JockCartier · Posted

      I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups.

      If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great
