They're not, not even a little bit. In fact I think one gold and bronze is (a little, one medal or something) less than what one could realistically have hoped for after the currently finished events. 

I don’t know, other than Paris maybe sneaking a medal in DH? Brignone is still a huge favorite for combined medal tomorrow, but she looked in pain after that fall today, same as Gisin, so not sure what to expect.

Gross and Moellg realistically have no chance for a medal considering their recent form, but it’s just one race so one of them could sneak on the podium if other favorites make mistakes.

Imagine the surprise for all those users who have set the alarms to 3 AM for nothing.

We'll have to wait and see, but I doubt anyone will be able to defeat the Icelanders in fraud and bigfoot competitions (Google Translate).

In the events that have finished now, I had them for a combined total of 338% for a medal :p (and 108% for gold, so that one came out right)

How is Italy overperforming if I may ask? At least in alpine skiing, Goggia was a favorite for 1st or 2nd place and Brignone was one of the contenders for the medal. Even Dominik’s 4th place is not a surprise.

Who said that they are overperforming?

Umm, you?

 

”Another gold for Italy and another surprising medal for Norway, those 2 must be among the 3 most overperforming countries here, together with Czech Republic probably.”

Good, so now that we know that you are able to quote, why didn't you quote the person who said it, if you were interested in a discussion?

Did i say they overperformed in alpine skiing? No. \end discussion

Still Italy has been mediocre these Olympics, where did they overperform then?

You also mentioned Germany not winning any medal in the post connecting to that statement, so anyone would assume you’re talking about alpine skiing exclusively.

 

Anyway, I agree to end the discussion here :)

Just for clarification:

Are you talking about this:

"Norway probably has won half a dozen surprising medals by now, while Germany didn't win any so far"

This was Norway's 6th medal (= half a dozen) in alpine skiing, so what you are trying to say is that you think that i wanted to say that all of Norway's medals in alpine skiing were surprises? That would be the only logical explanation for your comment, but i think noone seriously would think that anyone would call Kristoffersen's medal or the medals for Jansrud/Svindal surprising (i predicted most of them actually), so i am really irritated how anyone could possibly think that i was talking about alpine skiing only, but ok ...

I re-read the post, realized my error and edited the post, but not fast enough it seems.

Good, always nice to lead a civilized discussion. It's just sad when people clearly refer to one of your comments without quoting you, it shows that they are clearly not interested in a discussion, so you have to ask yourself why they are even here. Probably my comment wasn't clear enough, so i am sorry for that. Hopefully we can lead some good discussions in the future, given that you seem to be a true expert about alpine skiing (probably other sports as well, but i think you are not as active in other parts of this forum, so hard to tell for now). :)

      2026 Winter Olympics - Very Early Predictions

      By copravolley · Posted

      For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.

      If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?

      2026 Winter Olympics - Very Early Predictions

      I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups.

      If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great

      Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.

      Just another reason why it's super dumb that the NOC max in freestyle skiing isn't 40.
