In general they have very interesting picks, i think they are overstimating american athletes in most disciplines. In womens long jump they didnt predict a medal for the top 2 in world ranking, which is very interesting ... :mumble:

 

Nataliia Lupu (2nd at 2012 world indoor championships) wont be allowed to compete, she apparently took Meldonium for a couple of years as a medicine.

At the 2014 world indoor championships she tested positive for Methylhexaneamine and therefore got a 9 months ban.

It's an American site...they also always think Galen Rupp will win most races and Jenny Simpson is the clear favorite in every 1500m she runs :d

I know, but some predictions are still pretty "brave" ...

Gold for Berian and Centrowitz?

Bronze for Kendricks? I would favor Braz ...

Two medals in mens triple jump?

Gold in womens long jump?

 

BUT: Only bronze in womens high jump?

Some american fans are really going crazy over Cunningham. Some of them predict her to jump world record (2.09) as a junior (until the end of 2017), although she just set a PB of 1.99 ...

    • Only 63 goals in the second day.   TUESDAY 13 JANUARY   Men   Sweden-Netherlands 28-0 (16-0)   Finland-Hungary 19-0 (7-0)   Norway-USA 13-3 (7-2)
    • This suggestion has been implemented. If you open the forum's Badminton section, you will get a block with Badminton current and upcoming events: https://totallympics.com/forums/forum/21-badminton/   I will start implementing this also for other forums in the next days. Also this can be implented in the Qualification Tracker pages, with events of that single sport displaying in the respective sport's sections.   EDIT: testing with a Winter Sport event, which currently has some events in progress and some more starting in the next days: Alpine Skiing section
    • So qualification isn't done, and the last few spots are very close with essentially one more race to go.   On the 6th and 7th Canada entered 6 racers in the lower tier North American cup races in Lake Placid. On the 11th there was races again in Lake Placid, Canada only entered 2 (articles say withdrew 4, start list on the 10th says 2 registered, whatever).  If the total amount entered was above 20 then the ranking points for first start at 120 and go down incrementally, with only 2 Canadians entered there were 19 competitors so points for first only start at 90.    The USA only has a shot at qualifying 2 sleds at this point, and Uhlaender appears to have had a shot at catching up to 2nd best among the americans. She came 1st, those 30 points really cost her if that is how the USA nominates their team.   The best 17 countries get one sled, based on how their top competitor is ranked.  is in 13th with 498 points,  is in 14th with 480,  15th 475,  16th 468,  17th 457,  18th 456 and no one else has the ability to gain enough points.  could have received 27 more points,  19 more,  21 more. So a big deal for them, and not appearing in the stories.   The accusation is that Canada did it for their own gain, to protect Channell's chance of qualifying: the 6 countries with the highest ranked 2nd best slider get a 2nd quota.  Channell holds the last spot at 512,  Erlacher is next at 484. Both only race at the World Cup level. However, the next best after that is  Simmchen at 391, who did race in Lake Placid and misses out on 25 points. Both her and her teammate would have to pass both Channell and Erlacher in the rankings for them to achieve a 2nd quota. A miraculous outcome, but that is what Uhlaender is accusing the Canadians of being afraid of. Could be, I don't think so but who knows.  
    • I see, wasn't sure if they had internal trials like Canada had in the past. So Uhlaender will receive 84 points, more possibly if she races again, and Ro has one more race. So very understandable why she would be upset. 
    • The American selection criteria is IBSF ranking as of January 18th. Currently:   15  Kelly Curtis 710 16  Alessandra Fumagalli 704 17  Mystique Ro 694 18  Valentina Margaglio 668 19  Sujung Hong 662 20  Katie Uhlaender 660   So those 30 points could be important depending on next weekend.
    • Regarding  and  :   The FIL documents refer to Part C.2.2. of the Qualification rules regarding Athlete eligibility, it seems the Canadian women's double is missing the minimum of timed runs in Cortina (c.2.2.1), whereas the other are missing the requirement under C.2.2.2
