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.

Pretty poor. Sliding sports have been mostly terrible at these games and the future participation of team gb in them is at serious risk.

    • Zurich fend off Färjestad to claim European Club Champions title     Zurich defeat Färjestad to become CHL Champions Färjestad's inability to convert on special teams was costly Sven Andrighetto scored both goals for the Swiss     Sven Andrighetto scored twice, including the game-winner at 32:33, and Šimon Hrubec made 31 of 32 saves as ZSC Lions Zurich kept the European Trophy in Switzerland with a nail-biting 2-1 victory over Färjestad Karlstad.   The Swedes scored late to bring the game to within one, but a dominant defensive effort from the Swiss side helped secure their well-deserved win in the 2024/25 Champions Hockey League Final.   Both netminders were excellent through the first 20 minutes, but an opportune moment near the end of the frame enabled the Swiss to break the deadlock when Andrighetto slid a loose puck between the pads of Maxime Lagacé to open the scoring at 17:48.    Dario Trutmann threw the initial shot on net as the puck ricocheted off several players before finding its way to the top of the blue paint where Andrighetto deposited the loose change to secure his ninth of the year.   Then in the second, it was Andrighetto again as the 31-year-old extended his club's lead with seven and a half to go in the middle frame.   Play developed as Denis Malgin skated the puck through neutral ice before dropping it off for Rudolfs Balcers who quickly dished it to Andrighetto in the near circle where he one-timed it past the Färjestad netminder to make it 2-0 in favour of the hosts.   The Swiss continued to put on a defensive clinic in the second, mitigating the Swedes' offensive pressure and minimising their high-danger chances.   Hrubec managed to turn aside all 20 Färjestad shots through the first two periods to keep his club's advantage heading into the third.   Still trailing by two, the Swedes were awarded their fourth powerplay of the night when Zurich's Malgin was called for Boarding at 50:59 and would make good on the ensuing man-advantage thanks to Per Åslund's second of the season and first since his goal on Game Day 1.   Off the face-off win, the puck found its way to David Tomášek who slid it towards the stick of Åslund who was parked at the top of the crease where he redirected it past Hrubec with less than ten minutes to play in regulation.   Desperate to find the equaliser, Färjestad pulled their netminder in the closing moments but Zurich's defence, spearheaded by Hrubec, pulled through as the Swiss fought off the Swedes' last-ditch effort to claim victory and be crowned European Club Champions.
