A simple google search would show there are many ski resorts/courses in the Uk. Its serious enough of a sport, that it won the same amount of medals India won in Rio, an event with more than double th

Well, things have fairly turned around. Rowing stunk up the first few days, but was the only serious failure. Athletics looked bad for a while, but our historically strongest events - middle distances

Kudos to Ellis & Smith who beat the number three seeds to top their group in the badminton mixed doubles. This should give them an easier draw in the quarter finals and the possibility of sneaking a medal.

For tommrow The main Medal Hopes are Duncan Scott in the Swimming, Bianca Walken in the Taekwondo, the team dressage and any one of the British Trio in the Women’s Triathlon. Possibly but not likely hopes are Thomas Dean in the swimming, Eden Cheng and Lois Toulson in the diving ,Mahama Cho in the Taekwondo and the rugby sevens. Any other medals would be massive upsets, 

 

 

It would be far from a shock if both Scott and Tom Dean medal. I would add a few names to your list. If Kathleen  Dawson's turn was as good as her opponents I would be confident of her medalling. As it is she still has a chance. In canoe slalom Kimberley Woods is capable of medalling. And finally over the next 2-3 days we have a chance of winning our first ever medals in weightlifting. Both Zoe Smith and Sarah Davies are competing on Tuesday and Davies at least has a genuine hope of a medal.

They will play Tang Chun Man and Tse Ying Suet of Hong Kong on Wednesday in the quarter finals. The Hong Kong pair were world bronze medalists in 2018 so will be very tough but who knows - Ellis and Smith looks to be in good form.

Still better than one of the Chinese pairs! They had never beaten the pair they overcame today before so who knows. The commentators have suggested the slow conditions in the badminton venue actually favour the tactics the GB pair like to employ and hinder most of their opponents who play a different style of game so it could be an interesting contest.

I can't believe it! British 1-2 in the pool!

A great result. The rest of today has been rather mixed for Team GB so far - some great performances in the Rugby (Just about) and Tennis and Sailing  but some disappointing performances elsewhere.  Boxing not looking as sharp as expected. They will do well to match their Rio total medal - which probably means Team GB not making the 45-52 medal range.

The day got worse after that. Canoeing was a big disappointment, and looking back triathlon was nice but could have been better. Taekwondo hasn't been great today either.

As now we come across the world
To share these Games of old
Let all the flags of every land
In brotherhood unfold

Canoeing was more of a mild disappointment. She hadn’t been looking great in qualifying and I was expecting her to not make the final.

      The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.

      The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.

      The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR

      That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.

      How Many Medals do You Expect from Your Nation at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026？

      By JockCartier · Posted

      I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird

      The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.

      I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
