hmc16 16 Posted February 18, 2022 #343 Share Posted February 18, 2022 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could well beat the performance of the four man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mkbw50 381 Posted February 18, 2022 #346 Share Posted February 18, 2022 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).

Sliding sports have been mostly terrible at these games and the future participation of team gb in them is at serious risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orangehair43 177 Posted February 18, 2022 #350 Share Posted February 18, 2022 It be interesting to see the team size in 2026. I think it will surely be smaller due to funding cuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
