I think that whit a lot (but A LOT ) of luck you have only one chance to win a medal in all the winter games. Filip Zubcic do two 8th place this year in dicember 2017 (giant slalom in Beaver Creek and the not-olympic pararell slalom). He is the only croatian that finish a WC Event in all winter sports in top 10, what the croatian media say about Filip? 

 

He is mentioned a lot, but never as a medal contender.

 

Honestly, getting one top 10 result in Korea would be a great achievement, and hopefully couple more top 15/20 results.

No idea. Initially it seemed like they didn't want to keep Štimac in Korea for so long, seeing how there is a 10-days break between her last individual event and the team event. But now it doesn't make as much sense since Komšić and Zbašnik also qualified...

 

This is exactly what the Consultant in the Czech Eurosport version said yesterday, she said you declined the team event mainly because to have those not gender specific realocations, just in order to avoid the place to go to women instead of male athlete, since behind Popovič there wasn´t any big chance for anyone to qualify...unfortunately now with all the realocations and refusals it wasn´t a very smart move from your federation...

 

btw problems in the czech team since the season is unfortunately over for Kryštof Krýzl after his crash in GA-PA GS 1st round link, which may definitely be a huge trouble for CZE ambitions in the team event
