Welp, mass start is their best chance for qualification (as long as they stay in one group for 99% of the race).

 

And judging by the picture on Taufatofua's instagram, it looks like they all have one mission. Making sure that everyone qualifies. :lol:

 

And interestingly enough, when I went to his Instagram and saw that last picture, I immediately recognized Brazil's rollerski circuit bibs and, indeed, Brazilian federation CBDN is apparently organizing this :p

Spoiler

Now I'm sort of feeling the urge to ask around and try and get Taufatofua's autograph from there, that'd be cool :p

84 nations have qualified for PyeongChang 2018. I have not included the Cayman Islands as they won't compete and included Ecuador who will make their debut.    The following should qualify

Is it still possible for him? Jordan wasn’t on the accredited countries list?

 

I am sure the IOC won't block his participation if he qualifies, after all Jordan didn't even have a FIS NF until recently.


Also for the 2017 Asian Winter Games Jordan only registered way after the deadline (approx.2 weeks before the games started) and the OC allowed both of them to compete. :d

Update on qualification situation:

 

83 nations have officially qualified at least one athlete. I have not included either :AZE or :CAY  as neither have any eligible athletes. :PRK has also not registered their figure skating pairs meaning they have 0 athletes qualified as well. 

 

These nations will likely qualify (or will) by the end of the qualification period:

:IND India (men's luge)

:NGR Nigeria (women's bobsleigh and skeleton)

:TGA Tonga (cross country skiing, thanks to "Project Bogota"). 

:MDA Moldova (alpine skiing, cross country skiing, men's luge)

:TPE Chinese Taipei (speed skating, 3 athletes)

:PHI Philippines (alpine skiing, their athlete will start later this month to qualify and has the level). 

 

These nations have some work to do to qualify:

:ALG Algeria (Men's snowboard slopestyle, just got his top 30 performance today)

:VEN Venezuela (alpine skiing) 

:PAR Paraguay (alpine skiing, same athlete competed in 2014, but different sport)

:HKG Hong Kong (they have a couple of alpine skiiers who need more results under 140 points to qualify, but their level is all over the place). 

:GHA Ghana (men's skeleton, with the new system from the IBSF he is just outside qualification).

:ISV Virgin Islands (women's skeleton).

 

These nations have athletes competing, but unlikely to qualify. 

:BAR Barados (Freestyle slopestyle)

:SRI Sri Lanka (Cross country skiing) 

:JOR Jordan (alpine skiing)

:NEP Nepal (cross- country skiing, their athlete is around the 400 point level and doesn't look like that will change).

:TTO Trinidad and Tobago (cross- country skiing, their athlete is around the 400 point level and doesn't look like that will change).

 

Unknown and unlikely:

:DOM Dominican Republic (recently the FIS uploaded a bio on an alpine skier)

:TJK Tajikistan (their alpine skiers have not competed this year and unlikely to qualify). 

:AFG Afghanistan (their alpine skiers have not competed this year and unlikely to qualify) 

 

Will not qualify as their athletes compete in sports that have finished qualification:

:INA Indonesia 

 

 

My guess is the 83 nations (minus Puerto Rico who will decline) + first set of nations above + Venezuela, Paraguay and Hong Kong will qualify. Meaning 91 nations will compete in PyeongChang. However, that amount can go higher...

India in men's skeleton? Isn't cross-country/alpine skiing their only chance? Oh, wait. I guess that stands for luge, not skeleton.

Moldova is a near lock in men's luge.

It might be 90 as Russia will be probably banned.

Oh, and the Philippines should get a reallocation in men's figure skating, as Sweden will likely reject their quota.

I don't think the IOC will ban Russia. They don;t have the guts to do it :mad:

Also :TTO skier will start next weekend to get below 300.

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

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

      By copravolley · Posted

      Could you send a link to these rumors about new time-advantage suits? Where did you get the information that Italy will also be using them, and have the Italians tested these suits anywhere? Unfortunately, this sport is practically nonexistent in the media here, and it's difficult to find any information.

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

      By BMOlympics · Posted

      Dutch Medal Prospects    Speed skating Recently, it was reported that the Dutch soeed skaters along with the Canadian and Italian skaters will wear a suit that has been developed to gain an advantage of up to 5-8% compared to previously used suits. I'm usually skeptical, but the only team that wore the prototype of this suit to the Olympic Qualifiers managed to cause a big surprise with Van de Bunt qualifying twice out of nowhere, and Schulting, Snel and Diniz also wear this suit and surprisingly qualified. It's simply impossible to expect the same success as 2022, but of course The Netherlands should get a good amount of medals here.   500m (M) - A medal is very much possible, but not gold. De Boo would be the biggest medal contender, although he was out of form in the most recent world cup in Inzell.  1000m (M) - Definitely an okay distance for us, but obviously Stolz would be the clear favourite for gold. One medal should be doable, on a good day even two, but winning no medal would not be too surprising either. 1500m (M) - Not a great distance for us. Nuis and Wennemars are capable of medalling on a good day, but again gold is very unlikely. 5000m (M) - Perhaps our worst distance, but Van de Bunt has been a big surprise in the qualigiers so he's at least a wild card. Chances are very slim however. 10000m (M) - Similar to the 5000m, Van de Bunt is a wild card but with the progression of many others in this discipline I don't see a medal here. Mass Start (M) - Bergsma has had a couple of good results here, but again Van de Bunt is a wildcard and I'm unsure what the strategy will be. A medal is possible, gold is very difficult. Team Pursuit (M) - The team barely trained together. With a bit of luck they could scrape bronze, but not too likely. 500m (W) - This should be a win for Kok, with another possible medal for Leerdam. 1000m (W) - Same as the 500m, except Leerdam and Kok switched around. I don't expect Schulting to be in the mix. 1500m (W) - Kok, Groenewoud and Rijpma-De Jong all could medal here, but the competition is tough. 1 or 2 medals, maybe even gold, are on the table, but no medals wouldn't be completely surprising either. 3000m (W) - This is the only distance Beune will skate unfortunately, but together with Groenewoud I see a good chance of a (gold) medal. Wiklund is in the form of her life however, so she is easily the favourite. 5000m (W) - I don't really know what to expect from this distance, Conijn and Kerkhoff are quite inconsistent. A gold medal is not really possible I believe, maybe a bronze might be possible. Mass Start (W) - With Groenewoud, we have a huge shot at a medal, if not gold here.  Team Pursuit (W) - I think it's a battle for gold with Canada, but silver should be the minimum.   2022 Olympic Games: 6 Gold, 3 Silver, 2 Bronze 2026 Olympic Games prediction: 3 Gold, 5 Silver, 4 Bronze   Shorttrack As a massive shorttrack fan (I truly believe it's the best sport to watch in the world), I feel like on paper we could medal in nearly every event, but short track isn't performed on paper but on ice and that makes it very unpredictable. Compared to the last Winter Games, we have medal chances for both Men's and Women's distances.   500m (M) - This is probably the distance with the least chance of a medal. J. Van 't Wout lacks the pure pace, although he is one of the few men who are capable of overtaking on these high speeds. Teun Beur could have an outside shot, but only if he manages to start first in the quarters / semis which is a big ask. 1000m (M) - I'd say this is the best distance of J. Van 't Wout. Challenging for a gold medal is difficult, but a medal should be doable.  1500m (M) - Again, a medal should be possible but gold is less likely than in the 1000m. J. Van 't Wout is the only likely skater to win a medal though. Relay (M) - A medal is likely, but other countries have more depth. The fourth man is significantly worse than the others, whether it's De Laat or Emons. However, Van 't Wout as a finisher means I still believe a medal is possible, if not likely. 500m (W) - This is the only realistic distance with 2 potential medals. Xandra Velzeboer is the favourite to win, and Selma Poutsma is the fastest starter in the world. Michelle Velzeboer could als make the final. All in all, I could see 2 medals here. 1000m (W) - X. Velzeboer is quite comfortable at this distance, but I don't think she's the favourite. A medal is not realistic, but it's a 50/50 I'd say. I don't believe other women would have a big shot here. 1500m (W) - Interestingly, Suzanne Schulting will take part in the 1500m. Even though she hasn't performed in any international competitions, she is the biggest shot at a medal in my opinion. Still, I don't see a realistic chance of a medal here. Relay (W) - This is a strong line-up and I expect they will medal, with gold being realistic but definitely not easy. Mixed relay - Strong medal contenders, if not favourites along with Canada.  2022 Olympic Games: 2 Gold, 1 Silver, 1 Bronze 2026 Olympic Games prediction: 2 Gold, 2 Silver, 2 Bronze   Skeleton SIngle (W) - Last year Bos may have been the favourite, but this year the results have been lacklustre. There is definitely a chance of a medal here, maybe even gold, but it's not very likely.   2022 Olympic Games: 1 Bronze 2026 Olympic Games prediction: No medal   Snowboarding Cross (M) - Not a chance of medalling Slopestyle (W) - Not a chance of medalling Big AIr (W) - Not a chance of medalling Parallel (W) - Small chance of medalling here, but not very likely   2022 Olympic Games: No medal 2026 Olympic Games prediction: No medal   Bobsleigh 2-Man - Not a chance of medalling 4-Man - Not a chance of medalling   2022 Olympic Games: No medal 2026 Olympic Games prediction: No medal   Figure Skating Pairs - Not a chance of medalling   2022 Olympic Games: No medal 2026 Olympic Games prediction: No medal   Final tally 2022 Olympic Games: 8 Gold, 5 Silver, 4 Bronze 2026 Olympic Games prediction: 5 Gold, 7 Silver, 6 Bronze

      Thanks for sharing it — I made the site and only found this great forum because of your post. I’ll keep updating the predictions from bookmaker odds (not only AI) until the Games. It’s not 100% perfect, but I think it gives a good overall view per NOC. I also added an interactive calendar where you can filter by country to see the best medal chances per day for your NOC: https://winter-olympics-2026.datasportiq.com/calendar I'm French 🇫🇷 , and I hope we can beat our winter record by winning 6 gold medals. We need to stay dominant in biathlon as always, and ski mountaineering is a nice addition for us we're favorites in the women's and mixed events.
