There's still 3 days left of the games, and Team GB seem to be peaking right at the end (men's curling final, women's curling semi-finals, good performances in halfpipe qualifying), but I've been doing a bit of analysis to see just how disappointing these games have been for GB.

 

Before the start of the games, I made a prediction of where I thought every British athlete would finish - I made a realistic prediction, an optimistic prediction, and a pessimistic prediction.

 

So far:

  • Met/exceeded optimistic prediction: 10 (22%)
  • Met/exceeded realistic prediction: 21 (47%)
  • Met/exceeded pessimistic prediction: 38 (84%)
  • Didn't meet pessimistic prediction: 7 (16%) (includes 2 DNFs)

 

So overall, 47% of British athletes have overperformed or performed where I realistically thought they would finish, whilst 53% have "underperformed".

 

The overperformers include the men's & women's curling teams, Makayla Gerken-Schofield in women's moguls, Kirsty Muir & Katie Summerhayes in women's big air, Summerhayes in slopestyle, Rupert Staudinger in luge, Farrell Treacy in short track 1500m, the mixed team SBX team and Cornelius Kersten in the speed skating 1500m.

 

The underperformers include Hall/Gleeson in the two-man bobsleigh (albeit they crashed on run 3), James Woods in men's big air, Charlotte Bankes in SBX and Katie Ormerod in slopestyle & big air.

 

Either way, will be interesting to see how GB finishes off these games. We have a few remaining chances; my realistic predictions for the last few days were:

  • Alpine Team Event: round of 16
  • Four-Man Bobsleigh: top 5
  • Two-Woman Bobsleigh: top 18
  • Musgrave (50km CC): top 20
  • Young (50km CC): top 50
  • Men's Curling: final (already achieved)
  • Women's Curling: semi-final (already achieved)
  • Kenworthy (Halfpipe): top 15 (already achieved)
  • Atkin (Halfpipe): top 6
  • Kersten (1000m Speed Skating): top 12

I can see the two women challenging for top 10 if they have a good first two runs. They could well beat the performance of the four man.

Freestyle Skiing: Atkin got a 10.75 in her second run, keeping her in 12th. A 73.25 in her final run meant she finished 9th. In the Men's Ski Cross, Oliver Davies came in 31st in his Seeding Run with a 1:14.84. In his 1/8 Final he came in 4th and did not progress (only the first two did).

Bobsleigh: Brad Hall came 4th in Heat 5 (59.28) and 6th in Heat 6 (1:00.23).

Speed Skating: Cornelius Kersten with a 1:08.79, coming 9th. This means that Day 14 ends without medals for Team GB.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
