I genuinely wonder why Switzerland decided to kind of spread their chances instead of go with the dream team. Why not put your best slalom guy with your best downhill guy?

Who will win medal tomorrow ?

 

Switzerland is the clear favourite for gold with Odermatt/Meillard and Von Allmen/Nef.

 

It's weird they didn't go with Von Allmen/Meillard, which would have been an even more untouchable duo, barring mistakes. It's as if they opted to go for a 1-2 instead of maximizing their chances of winning.

 

My personal pick for bronze would be the Austrian duo of Kriechmayr and Feller.

 

Still, it is a very difficult race to predict, and I don't remember the slalom course particularly well because there have been no slalom races in Bormio for a long time (I'm pretty sure it's quite flat, though).

They probably figure this maximizes their odds of winning gold. And maybe of sweeping as well.

But one would assume the biggest chance for gold is by putting your best two in both disciplines together...oh well :p

Odi also won three downhill races this year and finished second twice as well. Franjo, with two wins and of course the Olympic victory, is riding a real high right now — but that gives us a chance for two medals, and maybe with Monney/Yule even more, like at last year’s World Championships. I don’t really understand why they paired Hintermann with Iten, because Rogentin was slow in the downhill.

It is time for Mickey Mouse Cup, instead of leaving classic Combined. :facepalm:Only nine nations involved, Kranjec did not want to take risk before his GS and therefore :SLO will not take part.

Agree, this is the cheapest gold medal in the Olympics winter or summer.  Maybe some of the swimming ones.

Oh this does not even come close to swimming and it's gazillion relays :d 

 

And at least it's not inherently unfair like snowboard PGS or biathlon pursuit.

      A few nations have taken it seriously, a few seem to have given a free ride for athletes.     Great to see reigning Olympic bronze medalist Song in Women's Shot put yesterday. There are 4 Olympic medalist from China in the games if I have got it right

      got a bronze medal in baseball on the final day, which means  are the only NOCs to leave without single medal in the end.    It'll be a busy year for them though, so plenty more chances at the Central American and Caribbean Games and South American Games.

      it's great that some top regional talent took part too. It's a nice way to open up the outdoor season, honestly.

      Wrestling in the USA is strong thanks to its universities, but surprisingly, they are not very strong in judo. I wonder why?

      Wrestling UWW European Championships 2026

      By copravolley · Posted

      Women's wrestling has been at the Olympics for first time in 2004, just like women`s boxing, so it used to be a men's sport on the all world, maybe without Japan. But Russia retains the culture of the former USSR, where women could always participate in almost all sports, unlike Iran under the ayatollahs, etc Sure, Russia has its various Islamic republics: Dagestan, Chechnya- but the 50 years of the USSR and its ideas and propagandas about life and sport still had a significant impact for people. However, the cradle of women's wrestling is and always has been Japan-, but judo has probably always been more popular there, so I'm sure a lot of talented girls go there, not wrestling.

      Russia was never a super power in women's wrestling, they are just another decent team.   why ? that's simple. most of top Russian freestyle wrestlers are from Dagestan. probably 7-8 from the current team in Albania. and I assume in that region women are not encouraged to take this sport. if you remove Dagestan from Russia, their men's freestyle team will do more or less the same.   I'm not familiar with the Russian culture in general but I assume even nation-wide (and not only Dagestan) this is considered the men's sport.    of course in the World Championship those 3 teams you mentioned can go toe to toe with Russia or even do better. from this Russian team I only see Sadulaev to win the gold at worlds. (+ Sidakov if he returns and maybe Uguev depending on Japan's squad )   still the depth of Russian freestyle is unmatched. they can send their #5 guy and be still competitive for a top 6 finish, can't say the same about any other team.

      In the women's, however, Russia took a strong beating from Ukraine, but surely there wasn't a all top-tier Russian girls here? Judo, in my opinion, is developing better and more countries are at the leading countries, than wrestling. Situation is slightly better in the world than in Europe, because we do have the USA, Japan and Iran. Unfortunately in Europe, this sport is a joke and is becoming a second table tennis, where people from other countries are naturalized and win medals for others, even though they have nothing in common with them.
