Vittozzi?

I hope she can do well, but I think she's not going to win any gold, as she's never been comfortable both with the shooting range and the altitude in Anterselva

 

I fear biathlon is going to be one of the biggest flops for us next year (the other disaster will come from the sliding sports, I'm pretty sure...rather, hopeless)

 

I think our medal table will heavily depend on the speedskating sports, on the big air events and on alpine snowboard, any other discipline's contribution is going to be marginal

Elia Barp? That's wishful thinking

I have more chances to become a billionaire

Sighel being the male athlete of the games for Italy is also wishful thinking with how dominant the Canadian men are at the moment  

 

Nothing Fontana has shown either that would prove she could be among the women to watch in long track speed skating.

Thank you for putting this together, it was fun to go through. From your keyboard to God's ears on Canada's short track team here (I believe you have us at 4-1-1, which is realistic if everything works out).

 

Leaving us off the podium in speed skating women's pursuit was interesting.

 

Three medals of any colour in curling would be celebrated at this point after two disasterous cycles.

 

In hockey, I'll always take our girls over the Americans (was "lucky" enough to see them lose in 2018 in person, though. Only time in 6 Games. Haha...hahahahaha...ha). 

 

For the men, I said above unless Canada finds a goaltender I'm not too optimistic. USA is just too well rounded. But lots can happen by then, and in a one game elimination tournament.
