With shortened downhill track,only slalom specialists are in contention. Good donwnill racers dont stand a chance here. So,Mikaela,Wendy should be sure for medal,3rd place is still open.

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).

This has been confirmed? :( 

 

Commentator on Serbian ES just said that. So it should be truth.

I still hope they won do that.

And btw she's the oldest alpine skier to win an Olympic medal 

What do you mean? At this olympics alone Svindal was older by about 2 years ... ?

Ok, thanks that's probably true.

I was very moved by her tears of joy at the end, you could really feel all the pressure coming off. She promised to win a medal for her grandfather and she did it, now she can retire in peace.

She also needed that medal for her after all these injuries and misses , she really needed this medal and she got what she fought for so I'm also happy for her , even i wanted gold but bronze is better than nothing

I don't think we're overperforming at all...

our gold medals came from 3 pre-race favourites (Moioli was actually more than favourite, she could only lose gold given her superiority...and not only from this season; Fontana was the co-favourite with Fan, who failed...so, also her gold is more than logical; and the same goes for Goggia...if she doesn't do any mistake -and today she didn't- she's by far the best among nowadays downhill specialists, with Vonn being the only one who can beat her, but only on certain conditions that today weren't there)...

and among the "minor" medals, only Tumulero's and Windisch's bronze medals are really "surprising" (even the short track relay was expected to be in the final..a 4-team final which obviously always gives chances to all the starters, especially in a sport where it's so easy to fall down and/or getting DQed)...

but, as a compensation, we really miss at least another 4/5 medals according to our preview (and 2 of them, Visintin in men's SBX and Goggia's Super-G, were not just "medals" in our expectations)...

so, we're not overperforming at all...and actually we're still under the par, so to say...:evil:

Haha, i knew that you would say that, you are really crazy. Noone predicted Italy to win so many medals and the part about Moioli is almost comical. You won pretty much every medal you were expected to win (except for Visintin) and even a couple more (shorttrack relay, Windisch, biathlon team relay, Tumulero), baffled to see someone not calling that overperforiming. Before the games you had 2-3 gold medal chances and now you have already 3, so no objective observer would say that you didn't have (almost) perfect results so far. If this really isn't overperforming, then there must be some websites out there that predicted this result.

Here you are...Sports Illustrated predicted 12 medals (4 gold) for Italy.

      2026 Winter Olympics - Very Early Predictions

      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?

      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.
