Im always intereted to see the prospects of our cross Tasman neighbours.

The traditional sports the NZ excel in seem to be their brightest chances

Rowing

Canoeing

Sailing

and of course,Rugby.

 

10 Gold medals may not be out of the Question!

(as long as Australia gets 11+ :)

Valerie Adams throws seasons best and 2nd best throw this year of 20.19m at meet in Budapest finishing 1st. The field included two main rivals Schwanitz and Carter. Gong who has thrown the farthest of 20.43m wasn't there again. But the upwards trend of Adams bodes well fingers crossed.

An OK Olympics for us. Rowing and Cycling the obvious disappointments expected a lot more. On the other hand the Sailors have been the standouts. I can't really see many other medal opportunities apart from a bronze medal match for our Hockey Women. But can't see them winning since they have a history of choking. So we've surpassed our national committees target of 14 medals so far. 8 4ths and quite a lot of missed opportunities. Not many golds this time. Other than that some sports were a huge disappointment, some exceeded expectations.

So we end the Olympic campaign with 18 medals. 4G 9S 5B. 4 more than what the NZOC forecast. Most medals we have secured. 9 4ths and 40 all up in the top 8. Overall a success but we were down golds this Olympics from London. Rowing and Cycling Mens 7's underperformed. Whereas Sailing, Athletics, Canoeing over performed. A lot of surprise medals though. 8/10 for me.

      I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.

      I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.

      The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.

      Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....

      The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.

      The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR

      That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.

      How Many Medals do You Expect from Your Nation at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026？

      By JockCartier · Posted

      I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird

      So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
