Recommended Posts

Also for :ARG don´t forget that the winter olympic future can be bright entering much more different sports, this year Argentina experienced some really interesting things at winter youth olympic games, like Veronica Ravenna in Luge or Esmeralda Villalonga in freestyle skiing slopestyle. Also I remeber some Argentinians competing in figure skating :)

Their only good figure skating athlete retired very young.

We would probably have around the same number like we usually have 15-20, with 20 the unrealistic number and 15 the reasonable one. :d

 

The certain ones for me are 11 so far (bar any injuries):

biathlon - 5 men + 1 women

snowboard - Alexandra Jekova and Rado Yankov

ski-jumping - Zografski

alpine - Albert Popov

cross-country - Tsinzov

 

For the rest it will depend how many filler quotas we will get. Like in Sochi we had 4 alpine, 4 cross-country and a luger even, who went on a good holiday. :d And i don't even know if these people still train. Maybe there is a chance in short track dunno.

:GBR GREAT BRITAIN

Team Size prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2018 PyeongChang

 

Ski Sports

 

Alpine Skiing  (3-4) - 2 basic quota, plus potentially 2 quota for athletes ranked in the Top 30 (Dave Ryding Slalom, Alexandra Tilley Slalom or Giant Slalom)

Likely athletes to qualify: Dave Ryding, Alexandra Tilley, Jack Gower/Charlie Raposo (for 2nd male spot) and Charlotte Guest (for 2nd female spot)

Cross Country Skiing  (4-6) - 2 basic quota, plus 2 quota for being ranked in top 300 (Andrew Musgrave 41st Distance, Andrew Young 10th Sprint, Annika Taylor 147th Sprint). Potentially 2 Top 30 points list quota (Young 10th, Musgrave 41st (even higher with new 12.71 points score from most recent WC moving him 22nd). There is a question over whether the BOA will accept all these quota, considering Musgrave and Young will have single handedly won them all and Callum Smith is the only other British male ranked inside the top 1000. Likely athletes to qualify: Andrew Musgrave, Andrew Young, Callum Smith, Annika Taylor, Sarah Hale and James Clugnet (potential 4th male spot)

Ski Jumping  (0) - Never say never - but gone are the days of Eddie the Eagle!!

Nordic Combined  (0)

Freestyle Skiing  (6-9) -

AERIALS: Llyod Wallace on qualification borderline  SKI CROSS: Emily Sarsfield on qualification borderline  HALFPIPE: Tough ask but Molly Summerhays, Rowan Cheshire and Madison Rowlands can all qualify, Muuray Buchan on the borderline on the mens side  SLOPESTYLE:  James Woods should qualify, Isabel Atkin and Katie Summerhays should qualify as well, Anna Vincenti possibly.

Snowboarding  (5-7) -

SBX: Zoe Gillings-Brier should qualify  SLOPESTYLE/BIG AIR:  Jamie Nicholls, Billy Morgan, Rowan Coultas fo the men and Katie Omerod and Aimee Fuller for the women.  HALFPIPE: Outside chance for Ayla Thidling to qualify.

Biathlon  (1-2) - Probably 1 in each gender!

 

 

Skating Sports

 

Speed Skating  (0) - Nope

Short Track Speed Skating  (4-10) - Potential for both genders to qualify a relay team. If not, then for the women Elise Christie and Charlotte Gilmartin should qualify, maybe too soon for Kathryn Thompson and Jennifer Pickering both born in 1996/7. On the Men's side without a relay 2 or 3 quota is possible and will be between Richard Shoebridge, Joshua Cheetham, Jack Whelbourne and Farrell Treacy.

Figure Skating  (2-3) - Chance for Phillip Harris to qualify in men's singles, his scores have consistently improved this season. Penny Coomes and Nick Buckland haven't competed this season due to Penny's injury but hopefully they can qualify in the Ice Dance.

 

 

Sleigh Sports

 

Luge  (0-1) - Now we are competing on the Nations Cup and have the same training facilities/coaches as the skeleton program so by 2022 we should have a strong team.

Skeleton  (3-5) - The woman can qualify 3 athletes with Lizzie Yarnold, Laura Deas and Donna Creighton/Ashleigh Pittaway-Fay, but 2 at worse. The men will be between 1 (Dom Parsons) and 2 if anyone else can join him high up in the rankings.

Bobsleigh  (8-11) - Should qualify 2x4-man, 1-2x2-man and 1x2-woman.

 

 

Team Sports

 

Curling  (12) - All teams should qualify

Ice Hockey  (0) - Already out

 

 

 

Total Optimistic Prediction  -  (70)

Total Pessimistic Prediction  - (48)

 

Total Realistic Prediction  -  (59)

Why, Spain has 2 very good chances for medals in Javier Fernandez and Lucas Eguibar. Actually many of us should be the jealous ones. :d

    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
    • The worst editions in XXI century for us were Vancouver: 5 medals (only 1 gold for Razzoli's on the penultimate day) and Sochi: 8 medals (but no gold). Turin was already a prelude to this bad period, although the number of gold medals was ok. Overall we won fewer medals at home than in 2002 and this was probably the only case in the 21st century when the host country won fewer medals at home than 4 years earlier, either in summer or winter. In general the years 2008-2016 were very bad in our sport, both in summer and winter. Only 2018 in Korea was a slight rebuild + 2 fantastic summer editions in Tokyo and Paris. in Beijing 2022 we won a lot of medals - 17 but only 2 gold (If it weren't for Gogga's injury, I think it would have been 4 gold).
