It's like this

Front-runner:Serbia.There isn't much to say.Anything less than gold medal will be considered as a failure.

Medal contenders/Title threat:Croatia,Montenegro,Hungary,Italy.The traditional powers.They will fight for a medal,hoping for a Serbia's bad day to include the gold one.

Semifinal/Medal threat:Greece,Spain,Australia,USA.A traditional power-Spain- but abstinence from success through some years,3 competitive teams with lows and highs

looking for the upset.

Brazil has improved a lot,it is the home team but it is difficult to advance further.Not impossible,though,

Japan and France may fight had,but......

On the first group,places 1-2 seem locked for Serbia+Hungary

Greece and Australia will compete for the third place.

On the second group France doesn't seem able to avoid the last spot,while beyond the other five teams almost any combination seems possible,ok maybe Spain and USA

won't be at first 2 places together,but each of theam can advance leaving one of the other 3 favourites out.

Agree?

    • Maybe small but this is our worst performance at the European Championships since the post-Covid period and that's a fact. Germany and Norway surprised with their form here. However, only in Italy are things like this possible, such as changing the head coach of the team with less than two years to go before the home games...
    • In my opinion we can lose to Argentina, if it's 0-1 in a moment. This Davis Cup format is a lottery, especially with the shortened doubles. It's no coincidence that all the favorites can/will can be eliminated in the quarter-finals. The second thing is that Argentina has a very solid team: 2 players in the top 30 + a strong doubles. If you sure to will win with them, you would have to have 2 Sinners in great shape.
    • Both Edin and Retornaz at 6-3 just like rank 2 and 3. Just very small margins on h2h and DSC
    • Godun has been training in Italy and Hungary for over 2 years. It's strange that she didn't take a Hungarian passport. Our predecures are so long that it probably wouldn't make sense.
    • Our worst European Men's Championship in this cycle: no promotion to the 1/2. Retronaz has been in poor form since the beginning of the season. The change of the head coach in the Italian team last spring may have had an impact. Unfortunately, the closer to the games, the worse it gets for us and it should be better because we are the organizers.

    • Daniel Huber picked up a kee injury during training at Lillehammer.   Piotr Żyła will skip the season opener because of a knee injury too.
    • Agree with you on this. The only missed category was Long Track Speed Skating where Cornelius Kersten and Ellia Smeding have done a good job getting us involved in this event again after many years absence. He won a Bronze medal at 2023 worlds but both are realistically fringe contenders and main goal is to grow the sport here.   As for our general chances by British standards we tend to do well at the various world championships before a Winter Olympics to raise hopes and then several dont quite deliver when its time. Would prefer the reverse to happen where we save our best for 2026 and help boost our Winter sports growth.
