And if Pedro Causil continues his brilliant move to speed skating, we might add Colombia and so a 5th continent to it as well very soon :d

I'll be very clever and say Senegal might have a medal chance in longtrack....

Can you work out why?

The Netherlands dominated Olympic speed skating like that exactly once, in Sochi. It would be a miracle if that happens again in 2018, it's just not realistic to expect anything close to Sochi (when literally everything fell exactly in place). Even in the most Dutch of all distances, the 10k, the best guy in the world right now is Canadian ;) (although he used to represent the Netherlands)

 

And a decent medal chance means that a medal is at least realistically possible, let's say at least 15-20% chance. Peter Michael normally won't medal for New Zealand, but his incredibly impressive debut season shows that he definitely does have more than just a very small chance :)

I doubt Daidai Ntab will represent Senegal if he keeps closing in on the Dutch sprinting top, but if he can't quite get there...who knows, it would be just brilliant :d

    • I have reported this again and they said it should be fixed now, please let me know if you are still facing issues.
    • more countries added to the list of US ban    you can't travel to USA if you are from : burkina faso , niger , Laos , South sudan , mali , sierra leon ...
    • Yes, but what I mean for Serbia is that everything changed there (unfortunately for us ). 2022 was an unbelievable mess, that's not the case anymore now with just one athlete who has really gone for it and made it, so I'm 99% sure they'll accept it this time.   Who knows though. Plus there's always 1-2 bigger countries here or there who reject something, but it's not gonna be 16 places I'm afraid   
    • Doping by Event Type When we look at which events have the most doping cases, a few categories stand out from recent sanction records: Long Distance (3,000m and above): 32% of cases Sprints (400m or less): 24% of cases Jumps: 12% of cases Javelin: 8% of cases Middle Distance (800m–1,500m): 8% of cases Hammer: 8% of cases Steeplechase (3,000m SC): 4% of cases
    • From 2020 to 2025    These three countries alone make up almost two-thirds (61.9%) of all current doping violations in athletics worldwide. It’s worth noting that 199 of World Athletics’ 214 member federations have no athletes on the current ban list. This means the problem is really concentrated in a small number of places. Here’s a look at the top countries: Rank Country Total Violations Percentage Region 1 Kenya 119 24.74% Africa 2 India 108 22.45% Asia 3 Russia 73 15.18% Europe 4 China 26 5.40% Asia 5 Turkey 20 4.16% Europe 6 Italy 18 3.74% Europe 7 South Africa 18 3.74% Africa 8 Ukraine 17 3.53% Europe 9 United States 16 3.33% North America 10 Morocco 15 3.12% Africa
