Decided to start a thread on this early, and get some discussion :d

 

When I mean athletes, I mean athletes from other countries mainly… but ones that represent your country work too :d

I’ll start first;

 

Obviously, :BRA @brunamoura in cross country skiing if she qualifies :d (no pressure) 

 

and :NOR Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo.
 

Curling: :SWE Team Hasselborg and Team Edin, :EST Kaldvee/Lill, and to a lesser extent :JPN Team Fujisawa and :SUI Team Schwaller

Ice Hockey: :SWE Elias Pettersson/Elias Lindholm, :SUI Pius Suter, :LAT Arturs Silovs/Teddy Blueger, whichever Canucks are on :USA United States’ men’s team, :CZE Filip Hronek and :FIN Finland’s men’s team if Lankinen can keep up his good play :mumble:(Even though he’s probably going to get traded from the Canucks after this season, he prefers being on a team where he can get more starts than more money. Still I have a soft spot for him)

Alpine Skiing: :SUI Marco Odermatt, :NOR Aleksandr Aamodt Kilde, :GRE AJ Ginnis, :AND Joan Verdu and to a slightly lesser extent :AUT Johannes Strolz

Freestyle Skiing: :AUS Jakara Anthony, :NOR Birk Ruud, :SUI Sina Sigenthaler, :SUI Ryan Regez, :EST Kelly Sildaru (for more reasons than one), :CHN Eileen Gu

Snowboarding: :GER Leon Ulbricht, :NOR Marcus Kleveland, :AUT Anna Gasser, :AUT Benjamin Karl/Andreas Prommegger, :NZL Zoi Sadowski-Synnott

Ski Mountaineering: :ESP Oriol Cardona Coll and that’s it for now… 

Bobsleigh: :USA Kaysha Love

Short Track: :LAT Robert Kruzbergs

Speed Skating: :NED Jutta Leerdam, :USA Jordan Stolz, :EST Marten Liiv, :BEL Bart Swings

Luge: :AUT Thomas Steu/Wolfgang Kindl, :GER Tobias Wendl/Tobias Arlt

 

From a Canadian perspective, I’m rooting for our men’s hockey team above all. Then, our curling teams, especially Team Homan if she wins Olympic Trials. Then Max Parrot, Mikael Kingsbury, Eliot Grondin, William Dandjinou, our women’s hockey team, and our ski cross squad. But really I’ll be rooting for all of our athletes. 
 

I like Hammerle, but I’ll be rooting against him at the Olympics :d

Too many to write them down just like that. But i will try to make a list in a few days time. A really good idea for a new thread, Josh.

Usually - if no Polish athletes involved - I root for French athletes. But not always. More details soon.

For :AUS  Scotty James

Has been around for many years now and is much loved here in Australia and obviously has incredible talent. 
World champs wins, X games wins, an Olympic silver and bronze but he is just missing that elusive Olympic gold. 
 

I am looking forward to seeing how he goes again as I can’t think of another athlete in my country who is more deserving right now. 🙂
