The Road to Milano-Cortina ‘26


Recommended Posts

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.

@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

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.

Made a new thread in Milano/Cortina 2026 section (as per what @Sindo posted), so this one is in the archives

 

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

    • I think the reason is that it's generally preferable to have a fast shooter in the 1st leg, and especially in the prone shooting, where Hofer is quite slow.   Now, I'm not saying I agree with the choice, because I don't. I think it's going to neutralize Giacomel's skiing skills in the 1st lap at least.   I guess the idea is to try and set a very fast pace in the 1st leg, which is usually quite tactical, but I'm afraid that's going to force Giacomel to risk too much because he will feel he has to make some time somehow.   Regardless, Italy must be on the podium tomorrow. I think that would be crucial for the following races as well. I think France is the clear favorite, but the other teams are not stronger than Italy on paper.
