How many nations will win at least one medal during the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina ? (0/33) Road to Milano Cortina 2026

[Nicky Pryde 43]

Hi !

 

Like 2024, I'll do the counts of the number of countries who will win at least one medal during these olympiades.

The record for Winter Olympic Games is 30 countries for Pyeongchang. Do you think we can reach this score in 2026 ?

 

Like the last time, I separate all the nations in 6 different categories :

 

 

 

 

Group 1 (14)

 

Countries that has reached at least 5 medals in each Olympic Games from Turin to Beijing

 

For these countries, I'm not afraid for them, I think they'll reach their minimal quota this year.

 

Concerned : Austria, Canada, China, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, USA + AIN

 

 

Group 2 (7)

 

Countries that has reached at least 5 medals in one of the 5 last Olympiades

 

I think they'll also gain at least one medal this year, but be careful !

 

Concerned : Belarus, Czechia, Japan, Latvia, Poland, Slovena, UK

 

 

Group 3 (6)

 

Countries that won at least 1 medal in at least 2 of their participations in Olympic Games from Turin to Beijing

 

they are still here, but they are not immune to poor performance !

From there, we will take a look on these countries.

 

Concerned : Australia, Croatia, Estonia, Kazakhstan, Slovakia, Ukraine

 

 

Group 4 (6)

 

Countries that won at least 1 medal in at least 1 of their participations in Olympic Games from Turin to Beijing

 

We will clearly not bet on them, but they have already the experience of the win !

 

Concerned : Belgium, Bulgaria, Hungary, Liechtenstein, New Zealand, Spain

 

 

Group 5 (17)

 

Countries that never won a medal in the last 5 Olympiads, but have at least 5 qualified Athletes this time

 

Maybe the quantity will prime above the quality for them !

 

Concerned (in order of number of qualified) : Romania, Lithuania, Brazil, Israel, Georgia, New Taipei, Turkey, Argentina, Andorra, Trinidad & Tobago, Jamaica, Greece, Bosnia, Armenia, Moldova, Mexico, South Africa

 

 

Group 6 (43)

 

Else

 

 

(please note : I just check that, I don't know which athletes has the best chances in each sports).

 

 

So, if we go on the fact that groups 1,2,3 and 4 will win at least on medal for each, we have a base of 33 and make the record ! That will be our goal this time

 

(Also in the topic, i'll take the count for each Group during these Olympic Games)

 

Thanks for reading !

Feels like you're missing Denmark somewhere in there  

Not very likely to medal, but certainly a better chance than several in group 5

Albania only has 4 athlete but Lara Colturi is a legitimate medal contender in alpine skiing
