Members of the Brazilian group:

Beatriz Linhares
Déborah Medrado
Geovanna Santos
Maria Eduarda Arakaki
Nicole Pircio

Seriously, choosing Nicole Pircio is the biggest mistake our federation could have made. Not only she did not help the group qualify in any way, every time she performed in recent years, she screwed up badly. It only shows how our federation lacks transparency and chooses girls based on unclear and very questionable criteria. Horrible decision. Such a shame.

Really makes me wonder if this is (partially, of course) a Brazilian thing...it's not at all the only federation where 'unclear and questionable criteria' play a significant role :(

I did not mean to be the first and the only to write here.

 

     Bulgaria, Italy, Russia!!!, Spain are now the top pretenders from this sport. But in such forums everything happens. The compositions of the teams - both in ''single'' and in ''groups - 5 girls" are so complicated, that one false step may cost droping the best performance and not taking a medal. Every team has worked a lot during the years, so not only the upper countries are ''in the battle'' for the prises.

Let's wish every team to perform the best way and the most difficult and best-performed compositions to win.

To be fair, I expect that the podium will be contented between :ITA:JPN:BUL:RUS and :BLR. Sadly for the Spanish, I think that this year they are too far from the top :(

I've almost given up hope in the group event. I'm not ready to see :ITA and :BUL, who should be the two groups fighting for the gold medal, receiving low scores, while the ugly routines from :RUS and :ISR will probably be overscored to death and win gold and silver. And don't be surprised if :JPN or :UZB sneak onto the podium.

 

In the individual event, :BUL Kaleyn and :BLR Harnasko are my favorite gymnasts. I'd love to see a Kapranova-like situation where one of the Russians give in way for both Kaleyn and Harnasko to earn medals. But, let's face it, the podium will probably be both Averinas and Ashram, and if this happens, it will be my least favorite podium in the history of this sport.

The current Code of Points destroyed this sport, in my opinion. The focus on difficulty almost killed any semblance of artistry in the routines. As I mentioned, only :ITA and can :BUL do it well. :UZB also tries hard, but it's just that I don't like their style, but of course this is my problem, not theirs.

Finally one of the moments I’ve expecting during the whole Games, second only to Pacheco’s.

Ruth Castillo the most veteran elite competitor will finally make her Olympic debut tonight.

Hope she can hit the routines the qay she did it at the qualifier.

    • I’m no expert on British athletes/sport, but as an avid watcher of a ton of sporting events (not saying you don’t), particularly curling and hockey so I have a few conflicting viewpoints here.   In freestyle skiing, I think your predictions are good but I’d say 3 on the men’s side. Davies in ski cross, and Fenely and Jeannesson in moguls will probably qualify.    In snowboarding, more specifically snowboard cross, I think Nightingale will qualify. FYI there’s no specific qualification pathway for mixed team, you just need to qualify one person per gender.    In curling, I’d have to assume your opinion has changed since the European Championships? British women’s curling didn’t have the greatest of seasons in 2023-24. I personally think it’ll be close; Switzerland, Canada, Sweden, South Korea, United States, Japan (and Italy) for sure. Then a couple of Great Britain, Denmark, Norway, and maybe China or Turkey.    As for hockey…. had to chuckle when I read that because sorry, but your men’s team had no chance at all, especially in the most stacked group of the tournament with both Denmark and Norway… 
    • Given how tight they've gotten with awarding spots since imposing that 10,500 cap in particular I'm amazed how many non-core team sports they added for LA28. It got to be a bit of a nightmare in several sports for Paris, so unless they increase the cap, the core sports are going to have to cut back even further.   Would be nice if the IOC set one cap for the core sports, and gave the hosts latitude with the non-core sports. If they wanted to go nuts, let 'em, it's their money. If they let LA have Flag Football, I wouldn't rule out anything if Brisbane pushes hard enough.
    • I think the biggest problem for Australian football is how big the roster size is.   Rugby League Nines might be a more realistic "out there" selection.
    • If lacrosse can be selected then I don't see why Australian rules football can't be selected if they get Olympic sport recognition. Australia will obviously dominate, but there's enough other nations to make a tournament.   As for netball, a women's only event is still much more likely to be accepted than a men's only event. Australia and the netball federation can spin it as bringing equality to the number of men's and women's events (while obviously ignoring that there will be more women at the Olympics).
    • The NFL are pushing had to develop flag football in Australia in hopes of getting it included in 2032. I hope they fail tbh.   Single gender sports fail the gender equality requirement so netball is out unless they can rapidly fix their gender problem. World Netball not so long ago was refusing utterly to sanction men's international netball or even support the growth of men's netball so they kind of sabotaged themselves and are only changing courses out of self interest because Brisbane was awarded the Olympics.   It doesn't even make sense to propose Aussie rules given how poor the participation is outside of Australia.
    • - Great Britain Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina   Ski Sports   Alpine Skiing  (4) - The qualification system is a bit confusing, but from what I gather the team is Guaranteed 2 quotas (one for each gender), and then more are given for rankings. I can only see 1 female qualifying, but the men's team is a bit stronger, and could improve with some juniors coming through. I would say a baseline of 3, with a max of 5, 6 if things really improve.  Cross Country Skiing  (3) - The men's team came 11th in the world cup last year, and with some good results could move up to top 10 which would give 3 quotas, The women's team is non existant.  Ski Jumping  (0) - Nope Nordic Combined  (0) - Nope Freestyle Skiing  (6) - Based on last year rankings, the athletes are ranked: M Moguls (26/30), M Ski Cross (26/32), M Halfpipe (33/25), M Slopestyle (39+40/30) W Moguls (23+42/30), W Halfpipe (3/25), W Big Air (5/30), W Slopestyle (19+22/30)  Barring Injury , thats 2 quotas on the women's side, and I would predict 4 more, with a max team of 7 or 8. Snowboarding  (2) - W Halfpipe (34/25) is the only unknown quota, as both Charlotte Bankes and Mia Brookes should qualify easily. Huw Nightlingale may get a spot for the Mixed Team snowboard cross but I don't know how it works. Biathlon  (0) - Nope Ski Mountaineering  (0) - Nope     Skating Sports   Speed Skating  (2) - Cornelius Kersten and Elia Smelding should qualify, although they both haven't competed this year. Short Track Speed Skating  (2) - A team of 5 went to the world but only a couple could really qualify Figure Skating  (4) - Fear and Gibson should qualify, and the pair team is ranked 16th in the world with 19 qualifiers.      Sleigh Sports   Luge  (0) - Nope Skeleton  (6) - A full team is certainly on the cards, but with only ranking points from the next season counting a lot could change Bobsleigh  (6) - Brad Hall and Co should qualify for both 2 and 4 man. I doubt any more will qualify from the mens side. Adele Nicholl on the womens should also qualify in both events     Team Sports   Curling  (12) - Anything but a full team would be a dissapointment Ice Hockey  (0) - The men were the only chance       Total Optimistic Prediction  -  (60) Total Pessimistic Prediction  - (32)   Total Realistic Prediction  -  (47)
