A thread to discuss all things related to the upcoming winter Olympics :yes

 

We’re less than two years out, and while Canada has already qualified their first athletes in ice hockey, the qualification period is really starting to ramp up up.

Whenever I have time in the upcoming year and a half (might not), I’ll try my best to share previews of some of the Olympic qualification events (including Olympic Trials for Canada, mixed doubles is from late December to early January by the way), but if anyone wants to do their own though I’m not stopping anyone :d

Ask me how long it took me to realize you weren't talking about tennis (mixed doubles).

Field is set for the Canadian Curling Mixed Doubles Olympic Trials, with 16 teams looking to rep the Maple Leaf at the upcoming World Championships, but more importantly the Olympics in a little over a years time. 

 

Kadriana Lott/Colton Lott - 2024 Canadian Mixed Doubles Championships Medalists 

Laura Walker/Kirk Muyres - 2024 Canadian Mixed Doubles Championships Medalists 

Jocelyn Peterman/Brett Gallant - 2024 Canadian Mixed Doubles Championships Medalists 

Nancy Martin/Steve Laycock - 2023-2024 CMDR

Jennifer Jones/Brent Laing - 2023-2024 CMDR

Brittany Tran/Rylan Kleiter - Trials Direct Entry Qualifier #1 

Rachel Homan/Brendan Bottcher - Trials Direct-Entry Qualifier #2

Jennifer Armstrong/Tyrel Griffith - Trials Direct-Entry Qualifier #2

Riley Sandham/Brendan Craig - December 9, 2024 CMDR

Lisa Weagle/John Epping - December 9, 2024 CMDR 

Taylor Reese-Hansen/Corey Chester - December 9, 2024 CMDR 

Sophie Gionest/Robert Desjardins - December 9, 2024 CMDR

Melissa Adams/Alex Robichaud - December 9, 2024 CMDR 

Jessica Zheng/Victor Pietrangelo - December 9, 2024 CMDR

Paige Papley/Evan Van Amsterdam - - December 9, 2024 CMDR

Jaelyn Cotter/Jim Cotter - December 9, 2024 CMDR 

 

I’m surprised we’re only seeing a couple double up between four-person and mixed doubles.

 

As for rooting interests, I’m hoping for Peterman/Gallant or Homan/Bottcher. If not, Walker/Muyers, Lott/Lott, Jones/Laing or Weagle/Epping.

Rather than a last minute decision between people who have failed to qualify in the men's/women's team they are taking this event seriously.

 

This time, it might be a bit too early :p

    • At the pro level (NHL) 20 players dress every game - 12 forwards (4 lines of 3 forwards), 8 defensmen (3 pairs of 2 defensmen) and 2 goalies. You kinda need a third goaltender in a tournament setting (because if the starter goes down you still need a backup, and it's such a specialized position that you can't really get anyone else to fill in), and you also need one spare forward and defensman for when you need to do a healthy scratch. So 23 players is sort of the "default" roster size.   It was expanded to 25 sort of as a compronise - previously the roster size was 23 (still is for the women, though that will likely expand to 25 in 2030), but you were allowed to do emergency injury replacements during the tournament. Now, the roster is bigger (25) but you are not allowed, under and circumstances, to add a player after the tournament starts.
    • No need to apologize, you’re good 
    • I'm mostly amazed nations can bring 25 (!) ice hockey players  
    • Some fun fact trivia about our team   52 Athletes is 2 athletes more than 4 years ago.  36 of them are men (25 of them obviously the Ice Hockey players) and 16 of them are women     From the 52 athletes 31 will experience their Olympic debut On the other side Jozef Ninis in Luge will comepete at his 6th consecutive Olympics, which is the new  record at WOG     From the 52 athletes 13 are already Olympic medalists: 11 Ice Hockey players returning to the games after being part of the Bronze medal team 4 years ago Petra Vlhová has 1 gold and is the reigning Olympic champion in W Slalom Anastasiya Kuzmina in her world apart is with 3 Olympic Gold and 3 Silvers the most medalled Slovak athlete in history of the Winter Olympics (She is also the only female biathlete in history to win 3 Olympic golds in 3 different WOG)     The youngest athlete of the team is the 18 years old Short Track Speed Skater Lea Popovičová The oldest the already mentioned Jozef Ninis (44 years old)     4 athletes were born abroad the Anchorage, Alaska  born cross-country skier Peter Hinds (American father & Slovak mom) Tyumen  born and naturalized biathlete Anastasiya Kuzmina who comepete for Slovakia since 2008 and won all her successes and medals under our flag Graz  born biathlete Jakub Borguľa, just born there to Slovak parents and Jeseniky  born and naturalized cross-country skier Tomáš Cenek.   As already mentioned in the previous page,  will compete in 11 sports here, which is the new absolute record. We are returning after 8 years in Figure Skating, 12 years in Freestyle Skiing and 16 years in Ski Jumping. We will not start only in Snowboarding, Nordic Combined, Speed Skating, Skeleton and Curling. (Speed Skating, Skeleton and Curling remains from now the only sports we still never participated in at the WOG)     We will have debut in the Ski Mountaineering, and for the first time ever participate in 2-bobs, W Luge Doubles and Ski Cross.     Interseting fact to mention is also that from the 52 athletes 15 are born between 2004-2007   So now you know and can go enlighten further
