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.

    • Also it being illegal in France means the IOC will have to test everyone pre arriving at 2030 and can’t wait till they arrive at the Games to do so. I’m sure at 2028 for some sports testing will happen on site if it’s not a rule of its governing body for non Olympic events. So far only a few sports like Athletics and Boxing have that rule - I suspect others will adopt it but others might take time. 
    • https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/articles/cpwj78lxypro ‘In France - one of a number of countries where genetic testing is illegal without a medical prescription due to privacy laws - the government has condemned the decision as "a step backwards". "It defines the female sex without taking into account the biological specificities of intersex individuals, whose sexual characteristics present natural variations, leading to a reductive and potentially stigmatising approach," ⁠claimed French Sports Minister Marina Ferrari.”   ‘A group of legal experts in human rights and sports have since expressed, external"urgent concern" about what they called "the regressive move toward genetic testing as a precondition of participation in women's sport" which they say "violate domestic and international laws that protect human rights and regulate the use of genetic testing and genetic information".  The group has called on athletes "to challenge the national or regional implementation of mandatory genetic sex testing, demanded by the IOC or international federations, before domestic courts, by invoking national or regional laws protecting human rights, prohibiting anti-discrimination, and regulating the use of genetic testing and genetic data".’   Domestic laws are more challenging for the IOC to deal with than CAS. Things could get complicated for a bit. 
    • Except NOC’s and governing bodies have to still follow local laws. Particularly for Under 18’s there could certainly be domestic legal issues regarding associations paying for travel to other counties to circumvent a domestic ban. Child protection services don’t always act reasonable to attempts to break a domestic law.
