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. 🙂

Any non Australians? Or just Australians :d

My knowledge on other athletes for winter games is quite shallow unfortunately!

Maybe just a bit premature.  Revive it this time next year.

Too early to have favourites? Personally, I don’t think so.

Definitely agree with a lot of these.  In general, everyone from countries that don't have much of a tradition or many facilities, so would add people like

 

:AUS Anthony Ferlazzo in Luge

:BEL biathletes

:AND in everything

:IRL Maloney-Westgaard in Cross country

      It's waaaay too expensive & inconvenient. Basically WOG minus the bobsleigh track & indoor arena for figure skating/hockey(which is the easy part of Olympic bid). Just won't happen anytime soon. Winter sports are too facility dependant and the entire alpine skiing requires a separate venue.

      It means that our pair will miss Olympics for sure. But I am happy for your pair. They won it fair and they deserve it. It always sad to see when your own sports bodies destroys dreams.

      Not religious, but I do celebrate Christmas because it's the time of excessive and delicious meals     I can't really think of any Dutch Christmas songs though, basically we hear Mariah Carey and WHAM! half the day and a collection of others the other half of the day

      The Technical director of the Dutch Olympic Committee has, using his discretionary powers, decided to include them in the team. He cites “extra-ordinary circumstances”, but has not stated what they are. The use of these powers is quite rare. They were used in 2022 to nominate an alpine-skier.
