Nice to see 15 nations* with medals in the first day, including Belgium which hasn't won a medal since 1994. Pretty hard to beat the record of 25 nations from that edition, though, since we had much more events at Lillehammer.

 

*I don't think Neutral Paralympic Athlethes are considered a nation, though.

Silver and bronze for GB is a very good result, need to hope for a slip up from Farkasova in the technical events for a gold in visually impaired Skiing!! Would be great if they could hit their medal target of 7 as this would increase the funding for our fantastic Paralympic winter athletes.

    • Lindsey Vonn Will try to come back to the World cup team this winter!
    • As always, full coverage on The Curling Channel Pay TV site, but quite a lot of games on Discovery, including the finals.
    • It was a very weird game against the weirdest team in the world,  North Korea    it looked very easy at half time, 3-0 lead. but then a very early stupid red card in the 2nd half. 2 dumb own goals, Taremi missing a penalty ...   and then in last 25 minutes PRK missed something like 6-7 golden opportunities to tie the match. have to admit Iran was very lucky to collect all 3 pts. the 2nd half was probably one of the worst matches I ever seen.    despite this terrible match, things look good in the standing, 13pts after 5 matches and I believe 3 more pts will do.
    • you are right but those countries like Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan also spend huge money on their own program.    I mentioned some countries because they simply forget developing young wrestlers and focused only on buying foreigners. which is really sad because some of these countries used to be pretty good. I always use Bulgaria as an example which was a superpower not long time ago.    btw I wonder how this will affect Bahrain, they simply has no local wrestler. they bought a full team of 6-7 Russian wrestlers in freestyle. now they can use only 2 of them for each tournament and they have to send 2 homegrown wrestlers with them (that number will increase to 4 from 2027). I assume they will pick up two random guys from the street 
    • Sorry. In that case, it would be a whopping 0 out of 20 medals that would be different, even better     My point was that it's actually not that 'bad' in European table tennis, at least looking at top results (nothing compared to the Open Dagestani Championships in wrestling).
    • Are you talking about Maria Xiao? She was born in Spain, grew up in Portugal before returning to Spain. That shouldn't count and definitely not the same as people moving to a country with no ties to compete
