I think Canada might have a better score in speed skating than the silver and bronze of 2014 :p (even without TJ Flowers

Team Size prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2018 PyeongChang

 

Ski Sports

 

Alpine Skiing  (3) - With our best skiers retiring last year, the young team's best case scenario would be one woman and two men to qualify, que can't ask for more.

Cross Country Skiing  (1) - Also Laura Orgue, our best skier, retired when Sochi ended, I don't think there's another girl out there compiting. So a men should have an "easy" way to qualify.

Ski Jumping  (-) - Does not exist here, sadly. And doesn't look like the federation is looking to improve it. They let our former training instalations to get old, and know they can't be used, they're pretty much in ruins. I don't think we are going to be present in that sport, at least for the next 30 years.

Nordic Combined  (-) - Same thing.

Freestyle Skiing  (1) - Well, I'm confident in this one. I don't know what Katia Griffits is up to, maybe she retired, no idea. But we have young boys around that are doing good work. For the first time ever, the federation is funding some guys; and the fact that the World Championships are in Spain this year is motivating them a lot, so I hope it works for at least one of them.

Snowboarding  (6) - Yep, I'm maybe going all over the place with this one, but our three men in cross, Queralt Casteller, Maria Hidalgo and Josito Aragon, I saw all of them with chances.

Biathlon  (1) - I only see Victoria Padial getting in, no chances for men.

 

 

Skating Sports

 

Speed Skating  (1) - We have a men who's doing good, and that's all.

Short Track Speed Skating  (-) - Well, 2016 is the first time Spain had national championships in this sport, we have a long way to go.

Figure Skating  (5) - I still see Javier Fernandez as World Champ this year, so that would give three men's quotas. Also, I think that a dance quota would be easy, even with our best couple (Sara and Adria) spliting last year. Sadly, I don't see any women getting a place, and that's bad because a women would qualify Spain for the Team Event too.

 

 

Sleigh Sports

 

Luge  (-) - Not existing sport.

Skeleton  (1) - Mirambell should be back. Sadly I don't see our girl getting a place, but we'll see about that.

Bobsleigh  (-) - Well, we have a girl duo fighting for it, but I don't know, I'm not positive about that, since the federation doesn't look like they're working on them much....

 

 

Team Sports

 

Curling  (-) - Coming from medallist in Mixed Curling in 2013 I think, it's sad were we are know. No chance at all.

Ice Hockey  (-) - Well, we have no chance now, and that's kinda enbarrasing.

    • I think the reason is that it's generally preferable to have a fast shooter in the 1st leg, and especially in the prone shooting, where Hofer is quite slow.   Now, I'm not saying I agree with the choice, because I don't. I think it's going to neutralize Giacomel's skiing skills in the 1st lap at least.   I guess the idea is to try and set a very fast pace in the 1st leg, which is usually quite tactical, but I'm afraid that's going to force Giacomel to risk too much because he will feel he has to make some time somehow.   Regardless, Italy must be on the podium tomorrow. I think that would be crucial for the following races as well. I think France is the clear favorite, but the other teams are not stronger than Italy on paper.
