18-20

 

Cross Country : 0-2

Nordic Combined : 0-1

Ski Jumping: 0

Alpine Skiing: 2-3

Freestyle skiing: 4-5

Snowboarding: 2-3

Biathlon: 7

Figure skating: 1 (that's the easy one)

Speed Skating/Short Track : 0-1

Sliding sports: 0

 

The skiing federation (FIS + IBU disiciplines) is aiming at 20 medals for its disciplines. It's doable, but it sounds like the very upper limit.

I am confident we will win somewhere in the region of 0-10 medals.

Well, that's a funny question to ask for most of our Totallympics nations Feel safe & assured, that Lithuania is not planning to steal any medals from the wonderful winter sport countries

0 or 1 medal.   Bulgaria could win a medal in one of the following: parallel giant slalom - Radoslav Yankov snowboardcross - Alexandra Zhekova biathlon - Krasimir Anev

You can potentially add some chances in all the sports (except speed skating) .. I don't think 20 is the upper limit with a bit of luck

I could also drop some chances here and there too. The point is to give a kind of realistic bracket for each sport/discipline.The FFS probably annonuced its objective too soon (before the season started actually).

 

18 is the number I'm personnaly looking for (allreay 3 more than our record in Sochi). Then, the more, the merrier :)

18 would be sufficient for the FFS with a bit of help from the FFSG :)

That's pessimistic projection, isn't it?

 

0-14 should be the realistic one.

I think it's very doubtful we will start in 14 events :d

Which makes me think of another question: which events do you think are the most likely to see a one-country podium? To be clear, mentioning an event doesn't mean you actually expect this to happen, just that in your opinion it's a bigger possibility than other events (for example I don't think men's 5000m will be swept by the Netherlands, but it's still 100% more likely than the women's 500m :p ).

 

Women's luge - Germany

Men's ski jumping (normal and large hill) - Germany/Norway

Nordic combined (both individual events) - Germany/Norway

Cross-country (several events) - Norway

 

This came to mind real quick :p 

 

 

France in women's snowboardcross (and this is more than likely...actually, there are just 3/4 girls who could avoid it)...

Germany in men's Bobsleigh (mainly in 4-man, but I don't exclude the 2-man neither, if they can enter 3 sleds -I'm not 100% aware of qualifications criteria in Bobsleigh)

Russia (pardon, OAR) in women's single (Figure Skating)

South Korea in all 1000m and, even more, in all 1500m races in Short Track Speedskating (those last 2 being the most likely of the entire Games program)...

Moioli seemed very strong in last races (home effect ?) and Jacobellis is not to be underestimated ... but I will not lie, that would be my preference :p

      Russian athletes that have changed nationalities

      By heywoodu · Posted

      Ukrainian diver Lyskun switches allegiance to Russia, loses all medals | Olympics News | Al Jazeera   'loses all medals'   I would assume Al Jazeera could have been a bit clearer and mention this would presumably only be national medals. I mean, it's not like the Ukrainian federation, or any single federation for that matter, has the power to strip her of her world and European championships medals I hope (not for her sake, but because that would be a super weird precedent)

      That's what I'd plan as well (except for MelFest), but I also know I am hypocritical enough to still want to watch the show and have a fun evening

      Confirmation about the broadcasting rights.   If I'm reading it right, for most of Europe it will now be exclusive to Discovery/Eurosport or whatever brand they use.     For outside Europe, it's on YouTube. For Planet VPN....well, let us know if you find out.   fil-taker-list-25-26-winterberg-1.pdf   Also, should have mentioned above that the Nations Cup races today are just over one leg, whereas there are two runs in each of the World Cup races.

      Surely. Her first coach now works in russia (and grandma lives in russia according to Sereda). They were in contact and despite of full funding from  the girl decided to become the star of russian propaganda.  As I saw in X: "It took the Russians four years of war to find a relatively well-known sports personality to carry out such a propaganda operation."
