The first opportunity for Team GB to qualify athletes to the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics is coming up shortly. 

Earlier this year in February, the Men’s Ice Hockey Team successfully topped their Olympic Qualification pool, with victories over Romania, China and Serbia. This enabled them to progress to the final Olympic Qualification Tournament.

The fixtures below:
29 August, 7.30pm - :GBR v :DEN

30 August, 3.30pm - :GBR v :NOR

1 September, 12.30pm - :GBR v :JPN

The matches are being hosted in Denmark and the top of the pool wins the qualification spot. This is the only route to qualification.

There was a bit of confusion about this a couple of months back, but skeleton slider Laura Deas confirms retirement after losing her team spot during her baby break.   https://www.bbc.co.uk/

@Mkbw50 / @Rafa Maciel Maybe you can create a section for 2026 Winter Olympics?

Winner takes it all situation for GB women's ice hockey team later today. After dispatching :LAT 3-2 on Thursday they racked up a 3-0 win over :ESP yesterday to maintain unbeaten record in the group.

 

This afternoon they will face off against :NED at 16:00 - whoever wins will top the group and will proceed to the final qualification tournament in February.

Obviously delighted to secure qualification but can't help feeling that at the moment, we would only be going to make up the numbers. Hopefully there will be a bit of a shake-up in the squad and we won't see Morrison playing 4th. Maybe the selectors will be brave and drop her in favour of Fay Henderson. She's already been dropped as skip - surely it's only a matter of time before she is moved aside as fourth.

Honestly we need Hailey Duff in the squad too

      Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026 Opening Ceremony Flag Bearers

      Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

      2026 Winter Olympics - Very Early Predictions

      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.

      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

      Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
