Looks like Finland-Russia will be the battle in the relay, with Sweden in third and Norge fighting with the US for fourth best. :p

Not sure how Russia is fighting for gold, but not Norway/Sweden and how you didn't even mention Germany in the fight for 4th ...

This time it seems rather open, Finland/Russia/Sweden/Norway could all win gold and Germany/USA could surprise for a medal.

Just one lipstick between 1st/2nd and 3rd/4th, resp.

 

Really good result by Hennig, missing 3rd place by only 12 sec.

Also Katherine Sauerbrey deserves to be mentioned here. Her second TOP 15 results at the Olympics after having only a few World Cup starts. That is really great and means that Germany has a second good skier for the Classic part of the relay. If we only a had a second good Freestyle skier :p

It will probably be about hiding Fraebel/whoever on the second leg. In the end it will be the same as always for german cross-country skiing: "Außer Spesen nichts gewesen"

Johaug did great, but the others… No chance for Norway in the team relay

Yeah I am afraid even if she do all legs herself she would do better than your relay :p

Yeah, Sweden will have Sundling and Dahlqvist and it's only 5 km (when it should be 7.5 really), so they probably have a better chance, than what i initially gave them. Norway is piss poor and Johaug can't do much in 5 km, so Germany does have a good shot to beat them.

:NOR in 44th place in Olympics cross-country skiing, a couple of years ago even impossible sci-fi

You don't have to go back too far to find similar results. In 2010 two norwegians finished 41st and 42nd in men's 15 km freestyle and a norwegian also finished 49th in women's 10 km freestyle.

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • 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.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • 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.
    • 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  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
