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.

    • Stan Moody was like one red away from leading Kyren Wilson 8-3 and never won another frame losing 7-10.   Antoni Kowalski put up a fight vs Mark Williams in the first session but ultimately fell 4-10. Still a historic moment for  snooker!
    • I think China will nominate a sport they will be successful in, even if it's the third or fourth choice for a home Olympics
    • Isn't it boring that a man and a woman are tennis players? Besides, for me, Pogacar achieved more than Alcaraz... How was Alcaraz better than Sinner? And Sabalenka only won one Grand Slam...    
    • SML's introverted personality is terrible for marketing but it's still a huge coup for Sabalenka & Belarus to take Laureus!    
    • We'll see – Radev has complete power... If he's clever, he'll take over all the media, institutions, tribunals etc., and will does propaganda that poverty exists because the EU, LGBT and the Green Deal are bad  Orban ruled terribly, but for 16 years, he was elected in Hungary thanks to propaganda. It's not that only you have to rule well to have high support. It's just that from what people are writing, Radev isn't as clever as Orban... On the other hand, if he were stupid, he wouldn't have won yesterday with 45%. He can't be underestimated, at all.
    • But these are the times when being pro-EU is no longer cool, unfortunately. That ended around 2010. Now there are plenty of Orbans, Radevs, Trumps, Le Pens, AFDs, etc. Even the Magyar in Hun didn't say much about the EU, because the Hungarians didn't want to hear it. I'm afraid that some Radev-like emerge will soon in Slovakia, because Fico is probably too discredited and will take all power. It's important that it's more of a Magyar than Radev, but Russia will certainly does to get someone of its own there. Especially since, apart from maybe Poland and the Czech Republic, in the entire post-USSR bloc, most people still simply like Russia.
    • The exit poll showed 38% for Radev, and then it rise to 45%, as if people didn't want to admit they voted for him? Well, it had to happen eventually, because elections can't be held every 6 months forever. The question was, who would take advantage of this? They found a old communist who called himself a new party- Progressive Bulgaria :P But, since he was president in your country for 10 years, people shouldn't have fallen for it. Turnout is also very low... Unfortunately, in Bulgaria, it's either chaos, or some strange emerges, like the former king in 2001, then Boiko Borisov, now Radev, etc. What's more, it seems you still have a strong sentiment for communism and Russia, which is why Radev didn't even have to hide his good relations with Putin.
    • We can be embarrassed together.
    • God, I hope so. I just want a pro-European government, that's all. Man, we're tired.
    • Good start for us with 3 total medals so far.    Angel Rusev took his 6th straight European title.   With this he equals Yoto Yotov and passed a bunch of other Bulgarian legends who have 5.  Above him are Nikolay Peshalov with 8th and Naim Süleymanoğlu with 7th (there could be others with such records, but i don't have the full statistics).   A shame that Rusev's overall level isn't on par on a worldwide scale, but we all know that Europe has practically taken a backseat in weightlifting the past 20 years, with the exception of a few individuals.
