For USA, their Baseball team is University of Iowa, women's Basketball is University of Maryland, men's Basketball is Purdue University, Track and Field is University of Houston, Tennis is UCLA, and Water Polo has many players from Stanford University

Are those good colleges/universities in those respective (team) sports?

Artistic Gymnastics entry lists are out which means @thiago_simoes can analyze and tell us who will win the medals, because he's rather good at that https://www.2017.taipei/atosLinks/51dc43ec-e628-4307-82e1-233305842972?00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000

Quick look on NCAA's website suggests Maryland's women's basketball is one of the best and Purdue's men's basketball is definitely rather good as well, interesting.

Purdue men are good, but I can't say they are sure gold medalists.

These are solid but not the best teams in those sports, the two basketball teams for example were top 16 and top 32 in this year's NCAA tournaments

Well, I'm not @thiago_simoes, but Canada should fight for the podium in women's team, and I'd expect Ukraine to clinch men's title.

Petro Pakhnyuk transferred back to Ukraine?

I guess it's hard to know where these teams are in terms of performance, given that basically they never play against each other (unlike 'normal' national teams). It would have been nicer from a betting perspective if USA sent some Division 3 teams again and bookmakers would think 'oh they're Americans, they're really good!', opening a good chance to make the bookies poorer :d

You notice that this specific link goes to a page that's not all integrated in that awful Taipei 2017 website, right? That means it should in theory be possible to go to the general schedule/results/athletes page too, without using the one integrated in the Taipei 2017 website...just gotta figure out how :p 

 

In case I'm not clear: many multi-sports events have the sportresult.com thing embedded/integrated in their website, but you can simply go to eventxxx.sportresult.com and get rid of the official website, leaving only the schedule/results page, like this:

    • Italian governmanet issued a statement:   The Vice President of the Council of Ministers and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Antonio Tajani, and the Minister for Sport and Youth, Andrea Abodi have issued this joint note:   The Italian Government expresses its absolute opposition to the decision of the Internazionale Paralympic Committee to admit to participating in the Milan Cortina 2026 Paralympics for Russian athletes and four Belarusian athletes with the display of their national emblems, inno compreso.   The Italian government reiterates the dissent already expressed, together with other 33 nations and the European Commission, on the decision of full reinstatement of the Russian and Belarusian Paralympic Committees assumed by the General Assembly of the International Paralympic Committee last September 27, and renews its own full solidarity and its own unconditional support for Ukraine. Ask, inoltre, al Comitato Paralimpico Internazionale to reconsider this decision. The persistent violation of the truce and Olympic and Paralympic ideals by Russia, supported by Belarus, is incompatible with the participation of athletes in the Games, if they do not come as individual neutral athletes.   https://www.esteri.it/en/sala_stampa/archivionotizie/comunicati/2026/02/tajani-abodi-governo-contrario-decisione-comitato-paralimpico-internazionale-sulla-russia/
    • The Canadian who went down with Sighal also didn't advance. There was no advantage for Canada. The only decision was if Sighal would advance, and the official said no. No one advanced. Even if you think it was an unfair ruling, it didn't benefit Canada in any way.    Meanwhile, several Canadians have been penalized throughout the competition, just like every other country. One even got a yellow card. Dandjinou was on his way to a medal, but was bumped in the final and lost. Our women today were bumped by the Koreans and nothing was done. These things happen in short track. At no time did any decision benefit a Canadian, whether you agree with it or not. 
    • I think I'll go with 8 this time. Brazil did very well in all sports, except for the girl in Alpine Skiing who, from what I've read, is a DNF magnet. Even so, it's our first participation in Women's Alpine Skiing in years.   As for the organization, honestly, some things have disappointed me, the way they're handling unforeseen events...
    • The Italian federation has issued an official stance – I hope they finally take a closer look at this Hungarian clown. I just hope it's not like someone wrote here, where the former Canadian skater makes the decisions and that Hungarian just announces them.   https://www.fisg.it/short-track-milano-cortina-2026-presidente-gios-grande-delusione-e-amarezza-per-il-trattamento-del-giudice-nei-confronti-di-pietro-sighel/
    • We lost the gold to Korea, but if we were going to lose to anyone, it was them- the country that is the cradle of this sport, not the Netherlands, which only seriously entered the sport eight to last 8-10 years ago and created serial dominators, like in speed skating, track cycyling, etc. I simply can't like their model, where they create athletes for serial victories in 2/3 selected disciplines. 
    • https://worldcurling.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/2023-The-Rules-of-Curling.pdf p. 45 I think has what you're looking for.
    • By the way, those shot % by position are really interesting.  USA's only standout is their lead, at #1 at the moment, while skip, #2 and vice are 7th, 8th, and 9th respectively among their position peers.   seems USA would hardly have any wins at all without that lead performing so spectacularly.  Maybe that lead should be skip next time.  well, maybe not, I guess it depends on whether his weighted shots are as good as his draw shots.
