The norwegian/finish/swedish athletes/coaches should instantly retire. Germany has no business beating them. I guess this shows the lack of talent in cross-country skiing. Hennig, Sauerbrey and Carl have potential to be better in 2026 and hopefully U23 world champion Lisa Lohmann will take Krehl's place soon. Maybe this german team can again fight for a medal in 4 years time.

:GER women is like the :JPN men in 4x100 athletics. They don't have single athletes at the top but always perform in the relay. SInce 2002 they only missed the relay podium once!

I am really surprised to see that Germany won a medal in women's relay at 5 of the last 6 olympics (2018 being the only exemption). No other nation won more than 3 medals during that period ... (Norway, Sweden and Russia all won 3 medals and Finland won 2) :yikes:

Stepanova (born 2001) seems to be an extraordinary talent, Karlsson might have a challenger. Also if Germany could only find a decent 4th leg (maybe Lohmann) ... Krehl almost lost the medal singlehandedly.

They are just always on time in top form :) While in the past it was mostly due to a very strong individual performance, mostly Nystad, today was a fantastic performance of the whole collective. They simply took advantage of the fact that Norway and Sweden are completely out of shape and Finland has set up completely wrong.

Flop Olympics continues for Norway, at this rate Germany will win the medal table thanks to the sliding sports. 

Russia and the US are also dangerous. Sweden could have won the medal table with normal results in cross-country skiing and biathlon. Also don't count out Norway, they could still win 5 or 6 golds in biathlon alone. Maybe even the Netherlands could win the medal table?

The dirty cheaters won. Germany will get the gold when all Russians eventually lose their medals as they shouldn’t even be there

At least the first three ladies have been around for a long time and have not been involved in anything so far, so one should be careful with such statements. Stepanova is more likely to be undescribed, although she has already won at junior level. With someone like Loginov it is something else, but not all athletes from Russia are doped.
Then the medals of Pellegrino and Stadlober would also be questionable, they also train in Russia.

At least Roeiseland will win 3 golds and the men at least 2 in the Biathlon as well, I think. Germany has to rely on Bobsleigh and Skeleton

Russia and Germany did everything right tactically, especially Stupak was the decisive athlete. And nobody knows why Finland put the two classical specialists on freestyle.

Agreed. Not sure if there is any woman nowadays who can just close a 25 second gap on her own. Johaug, Björgen and Kalla used to be able to do it. Smart move to put your best athlete on the first position and open up a gap. I doubt that Germany would have won a medal without this russian move. Also you have to give weaker athletes the chance to overperform, which is far more likely if they believe that they can win a medal (which is easier to do when they are near the top of the race). I guess part of the russian gold also belongs to Germany (considering that german Markus Cramer is one of their coaches) ... :cry:

Krehl was rather horrible, the other 3 dragged her to a medal. I hope that she will soon be replaced. With a decent 4th athlete Germany probably would have won gold.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      How Many Medals do You Expect from Your Nation at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026？

      By JockCartier · Posted

      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
