Before the last round only Lazio is qualified at round of 16
Anderlecht, Athletic Club, AZ Alkmaar, Bodø/Glimt, Eintracht Frankfurt, FCSB, Galatasaray, Lyon, Manchester United, Olympiacos, Rangers, Tottenham, Union SG, Viktoria Plzeň have secured at least a play-off slot.
Every year I do track some of the categories (Best Paralympic Athlete, Best Youth Athlete, Best Doubles or Pair) and I see that voters really use them, so it would be nice to have something similar in other categories (or maybe a shortlist of 20 names or so). Of course that could only work if enough people are interested to participate in these committees, because some of them are kinda specific (like Best Non-Olympic Athlete).
Yeah, the mixed relay might be one of the highlights of the Games for me, especially when one of the follow cam skiers shouted, "mistake! mistake!" right behind the leader after she went to the wrong control.
I think of it as the Commonwealth Games of Winter Sports. Big assortment of standards plus some eccentric events. Really loved the orienteering. "Hey, do I go up this well-trod path or trudge shin-deep through fresh snow?"
