As I recall we had a full roster of females, and the men's team bombed out cause their one star was sick at Worlds. I'd need to go back and confirm the sickness excuses validity, but we definitely had multiple women there -
Took a look on our National TV schedule and yeah as expected once the M hockey tournament start it is going to be all hockey Almost all games live on main TV channel and believe it or not 20 minutes of Shorttrack https://www.stvr.sk/program?date=2026-02-12 -

TV wise, I'd still take CBC over NBC, but NBC has at least made it respectible Streaming wise, It's perplexing CBC doesn't do a bit better (and it's fine for the general public, it's just sickos like me that want this stuff), it's nothing but regurgitating a few more OBS feeds on top of all the ones they already do. Of course their entire budget to produce everything in two languages if probably less than NBC spends on lunches, so obviously there is a lack of resources, but it's really just a few simple easy things that could be easily solved, but aren't. -

I just hope this has been tested somewhere before, because I remember in Sochi 2014, where the USA introduced some super-new suits that turned out to be worse than the older ones, and they had to go back to the older ones during the Games due to the disastrous results of the all USA team -

Of course, this is from the main Dutch broadcasting company: https://nos.nl/artikel/2599838-schaatsers-in-milaan-op-medaillejacht-in-revolutionaire-hybride-outfit -

Could you send a link to these rumors about new time-advantage suits? Where did you get the information that Italy will also be using them, and have the Italians tested these suits anywhere? Unfortunately, this sport is practically nonexistent in the media here, and it's difficult to find any information. -

Dutch Medal Prospects Speed skating Recently, it was reported that the Dutch soeed skaters along with the Canadian and Italian skaters will wear a suit that has been developed to gain an advantage of up to 5-8% compared to previously used suits. I'm usually skeptical, but some skaters who wore the prototype of this suit to the Olympic Qualifiers managed to cause a big surprise with Van de Bunt qualifying twice out of nowhere, and Schulting, Snel and Diniz also wear this suit and surprisingly qualified. It's simply impossible to expect the same success as 2022, but of course The Netherlands should get a good amount of medals here. 500m (M) - A medal is very much possible, but not gold. De Boo would be the biggest medal contender, although he was out of form in the most recent world cup in Inzell. 1000m (M) - Definitely an okay distance for us, but obviously Stolz would be the clear favourite for gold. One medal should be doable, on a good day even two, but winning no medal would not be too surprising either. 1500m (M) - Not a great distance for us. Nuis and Wennemars are capable of medalling on a good day, but again gold is very unlikely. 5000m (M) - Perhaps our worst distance, but Van de Bunt has been a big surprise in the qualigiers so he's at least a wild card. Chances are very slim however. 10000m (M) - Similar to the 5000m, Van de Bunt is a wild card but with the progression of many others in this discipline I don't see a medal here. Mass Start (M) - Bergsma has had a couple of good results here, but again Van de Bunt is a wildcard and I'm unsure what the strategy will be. A medal is possible, gold is very difficult. Team Pursuit (M) - The team barely trained together. With a bit of luck they could scrape bronze, but not too likely. 500m (W) - This should be a win for Kok, with another possible medal for Leerdam. 1000m (W) - Same as the 500m, except Leerdam and Kok switched around. I don't expect Schulting to be in the mix. 1500m (W) - Kok, Groenewoud and Rijpma-De Jong all could medal here, but the competition is tough. 1 or 2 medals, maybe even gold, are on the table, but no medals wouldn't be completely surprising either. 3000m (W) - This is the only distance Beune will skate unfortunately, but together with Groenewoud I see a good chance of a (gold) medal. Wiklund is in the form of her life however, so she is easily the favourite. 5000m (W) - I don't really know what to expect from this distance, Conijn and Kerkhoff are quite inconsistent. A gold medal is not really possible I believe, maybe a bronze might be possible. Mass Start (W) - With Groenewoud, we have a huge shot at a medal, if not gold here. Team Pursuit (W) - I think it's a battle for gold with Canada, but silver should be the minimum. 2022 Olympic Games: 6 Gold, 3 Silver, 2 Bronze 2026 Olympic Games prediction: 3 Gold, 5 Silver, 4 Bronze Shorttrack As a massive shorttrack fan (I truly believe it's the best sport to watch in the world), I feel like on paper we could medal in nearly every event, but short track isn't performed on paper but on ice and that makes it very unpredictable. Compared to the last Winter Games, we have medal chances for both Men's and Women's distances. 500m (M) - This is probably the distance with the least chance of a medal. J. Van 't Wout lacks the pure pace, although he is one of the few men who are capable of overtaking on these high speeds. Teun Beur could have an outside shot, but only if he manages to start first in the quarters / semis which is a big ask. 1000m (M) - I'd say this is the best distance of J. Van 't Wout. Challenging for a gold medal is difficult, but a medal should be doable. 1500m (M) - Again, a medal should be possible but gold is less likely than in the 1000m. J. Van 't Wout is the only likely skater to win a medal though. Relay (M) - A medal is likely, but other countries have more depth. The fourth man is significantly worse than the others, whether it's De Laat or Emons. However, Van 't Wout as a finisher means I still believe a medal is possible, if not likely. 500m (W) - This is the only realistic distance with 2 potential medals. Xandra Velzeboer is the favourite to win, and Selma Poutsma is the fastest starter in the world. Michelle Velzeboer could als make the final. All in all, I could see 2 medals here. 1000m (W) - X. Velzeboer is quite comfortable at this distance, but I don't think she's the favourite. A medal is not realistic, but it's a 50/50 I'd say. I don't believe other women would have a big shot here. 1500m (W) - Interestingly, Suzanne Schulting will take part in the 1500m. Even though she hasn't performed in any international competitions, she is the biggest shot at a medal in my opinion. Still, I don't see a realistic chance of a medal here. Relay (W) - This is a strong line-up and I expect they will medal, with gold being realistic but definitely not easy. Mixed relay - Strong medal contenders, if not favourites along with Canada. 2022 Olympic Games: 2 Gold, 1 Silver, 1 Bronze 2026 Olympic Games prediction: 2 Gold, 2 Silver, 2 Bronze Skeleton SIngle (W) - Last year Bos may have been the favourite, but this year the results have been lacklustre. There is definitely a chance of a medal here, maybe even gold, but it's not very likely. 2022 Olympic Games: 1 Bronze 2026 Olympic Games prediction: No medal Snowboarding Cross (M) - Not a chance of medalling Slopestyle (W) - Not a chance of medalling Big AIr (W) - Not a chance of medalling Parallel (W) - Small chance of medalling here, but not very likely 2022 Olympic Games: No medal 2026 Olympic Games prediction: No medal Bobsleigh 2-Man - Not a chance of medalling 4-Man - Not a chance of medalling 2022 Olympic Games: No medal 2026 Olympic Games prediction: No medal Figure Skating Pairs - Not a chance of medalling 2022 Olympic Games: No medal 2026 Olympic Games prediction: No medal Final tally 2022 Olympic Games: 8 Gold, 5 Silver, 4 Bronze 2026 Olympic Games prediction: 5 Gold, 7 Silver, 6 Bronze -

The talk is all about the athlets, but what about other stuff? What are the rules for taking the coaches, technicians and others? I found the whole list for polish team: https://olimpijski.pl/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/PKOl_ZIO_2026_reprezentacja_KONFERENCJA3.pdf 60 athletes 82 stuff 15 members of the 'Olimpics Mission' (including two priests for extra buffs ) -

African championship final VS as expected with no surprises -

Well... few years ago it was to much for the German National Broadcaster - for athletics they constantly said 'you can watch everything on the online stream' - but forget to set the stream and streamed nothing.
