2026 Winter Olympics - Very Early Predictions

[Josh 10,510]

Will share my first batch of predictions here when I have the time, now is a busy time for me though with a whole bunch of sports in full swing. 

[Ted 141]

I have a question for everyone: Will Russia participate in Milano-Cortina? What's your (very early) prediction about this? I guess it largely hinges on who the next IOC president will be, which we'll know next March I think.

Thank you!

 

Then a quick update and 3rd place goes to Roman Rees GER

[rafalgorka 1,524]

But maybe Doll will come back like Vonn or Johaug? Who knows...
