Milano Cortina 2026 - General Discussion


Recommended Posts

Was hoping others had olympic medal predictions. I have Norway with 16 gold and 38 total. Usa 13 gold and 36 total. Germany 12 and 28 total. France with 10 and 29 total. Canada with 10 and 30 total. Netherlands with 7 and 20 total. Italy with 5 and 25 total. I have Norway winning only 1 gold medal in Biathlon between the men and women. They have been so inconsistent. If they get hot gold could be 18 or 19. If anyone else has predictions it would be great to see.

I think Norway has a huge dropoff in Biathlon from Beijing. The Bo brothers will be tough to replace and also just had an amazing 2022 Games. I think most of Norways success will come from cross country skiing. I like doing some medal bets for the Olympics the two I really like is USA over 30.5 and Sweden over 17.5 feels very low. I think USA has their best Winter Olympics in maybe 20 years or so.

I'm not into doing all the research to make the full predictions. All I know is that there's a decent chance of seeing a new record for most gold medals by Team USA!

If you watch NBC's preview, you would think USA is going to win all the medals.  Probably going to be short of that, but agree the prospects are good.

What's interesting is that in 2006, there were high hopes for the US team and they did well, but a lot of the big stars - think Bode Miller - under-performed so it gave off the impression that it was a bad Olympics for the Americans

Regarding medal performance...as I was doing my predictions...I came up with a terribly high number for the USA, and I know I was being optimistic at times (I mean, how can I choose :CAN over :USA for hockey?), and this was of course before Lindsey Vonn's accident...but I think we have a good chance to take home a lot of gold (and medals in general).

 

Sports I'm not as knowledgeable at, but I know we have some shots: Snowboarding and Freestyle.  Just didn't manage to wrap my mind around all the disciplines in there in time.

As an aside, I love watching the world feed when possible to get away from the USA-centrism (which is to be expected, to be fair, from NBC).  Especially during the Ceremonies...I don't care to keep seeing interviews with our athletes...show me the parade!  :)

Someone posted this in the main forum the other day, and I enjoy how they break down the odds for each event based on past results.
