Asian Winter Games 2025

it's really hard for OCA to find a host for the Asian Winter Games. no game in 2021, even 2025 Harbin was announced relatively very late. (only 1.5 years ago) OCA even accepted Saudi Arabia's crazy bid to host the 2029 event in middle of a desert! (at least on paper that looks crazy)

therefore it's totally up to the host country to pick the events. 

 

this is really bad for the event's prestige but I assume OCA had no other option.

It doesn't help that there are essentially four nations ( :CHN:JPN:KAZ:KOR ) competing for medals with maybe the likes of :PRK:TPE:UZB being competitive in a few events. Others may get lucky with a bronze due to lack of competition.

Or just pure luck. Malaysia had a fourth in short track last time around.

I Think

need a lot of luck to win a medal. Probably the best opportunity in figure skating.

:THA will compete in all 11 sports :thumbup:

That`s very good. I Think it is an ok speedskater among the athlets: Nopphaket Suansuk.

Most disciplines in this Harbin Game is what china is good at.

 

There is no PS/PGS in snowboarding, no Mass start in Speed skating (but 100m exists!) 

Yes, China will win a lot of medals in Harbin, and I'm a little surprised that the Mass start event in speed-skating is not included. Instead, there is the 100m.
A less exciting event on the ice rink, but I think the organizers have chosen to include this distance to get as many participating countries as possible into the games. "Everyone" can 
do 100m on ice.

I still haven't seen any news about an international feed for tv/streaming yet, unfortunately :(

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • 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.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • 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.
    • 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  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
