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

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

    • Hail to the Reds... Commanders. First time since 1991 Washington QB has thrown 5 TD passes in a game (which isn't all that improbable in the modern game alas Dan Snyder...)    
    • Italy is much better in alpine skiing, in The end all Nations have a Limited Talent Pool. Norway is far better than Sweden/Finland in Cross-Country skiing, alpine skiing and Biathlon, but Sweden/Finland are far better in ice Hockey.  Great Britain wins far more medals than Germany At Summer olympics, but GB is also inexistant in Winter Sports and Most popular Team Sports (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, Ich Hockey).  
    • Thanks, great stat! Tannheimer wont turn 20 until August 2025, so she has The whole Season To Join Kristiansen and Neuner. Too Bad that she was ill this week. I think Galmace Paulin and Tänglander could also do it. I think Grotian (born 2004) is The First female Biathlete born after 1999 To make a World Cup Podium. On The Mens side multiple Athletes (Perrot, Giacomel, Uldal) have already done it.   E. Öberg was 22 and a half when she First won.  Dahlmeier was 21 and a half.   Edit: Grotian only narrowly missed The Podium in The Individual at The 2024 World Championships when she was still  19 year old.
