How Many Medals do You Expect from Your Nation at the Winter Olympic Games 2018?

To be honest, for me, the only REAL chances we have are all in ski jumping, where if we won't get at least one medal in each men's event will be disappointment. Personally I hope we will get something more in other sports too, but i don't believe in more than 5-6 medals, 3 of which should be in ski jumping.

 

Don't you have a pretty good speed skater?

Well, many of our speed skaters are decent, but I don't see them being amongst the favourites in any event. If I remember correctly none of them finished on podium during the last World Cup competition in Germany. (OK, There was one gold medaI, but it was  in women's division B) Iknow they are probably preparing their best form for the olympic games, and I wish them the best luck, but so far they did not really present what they are capable of this season. Any medal here will be a nice surprise for me :)

 

But still, somehow I have the feeling this Olympic Games will be the weakest in years for us...

My favourite Volleyball position: LIBERO. You ask why? Look here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyIOarNAONk

Plus World Cups in speed skating mean so much less than in ski jumping, alpine skiing and so on :p

The official Danish goal is 2 top 6 places. Elena and the men's curling team would be the favourites for that, though the male speed skaters can do it on their best days and maybe even the women's curling team if they have a great tournament.

I expect 28 medals and 10-12 golds.

The absence of Luitz, Neureuther, Zimmermann and Zacher + the recent developments in biathlon and nordic combined clearly hurt the german chances, otherwise i would have expected at least 34 medals and 12-14 golds.

I think Norway will win the medal table with at least 36 medals and at least 15 golds, they have great gold medal chances in men's biathlon, cross-country, women's ski jumping, nordic combined, freestyle skiing, men's alpine skiing and snowboarding. I think no other nation will win golds in as many different sports.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Dutch website where you can predict how many medals the Dutch athletes will win and then compare it with the 'experts' (former world class speed skaters Erben Wennemars and Mark Tuitert):

You think Tuitert is optimistic with 8 gold (+10 silver medals! and 3 bronze ones), but wait for Wennemars.....13 (!!) gold medals :lol: Please don't let that happen :p

We have it simple this time, Polish medals = ski jumping medals, chance for any medal outside ski jumping is small (maybe Weronika in biathlon, maybe some miracle in speed skating or 30 km by Justyna)

That`s why k90 contest is crucial. Most Poles bet on 3 medals, 1 per ski jumping contest. If we win 2 tomorrow we should exceed this 3 medals expectation

I fell in love with sports.....since i first seen it

    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
    • The worst editions in XXI century for us were Vancouver: 5 medals (only 1 gold for Razzoli's on the penultimate day) and Sochi: 8 medals (but no gold). Turin was already a prelude to this bad period, although the number of gold medals was ok. Overall we won fewer medals at home than in 2002 and this was probably the only case in the 21st century when the host country won fewer medals at home than 4 years earlier, either in summer or winter. In general the years 2008-2016 were very bad in our sport, both in summer and winter. Only 2018 in Korea was a slight rebuild + 2 fantastic summer editions in Tokyo and Paris. in Beijing 2022 we won a lot of medals - 17 but only 2 gold (If it weren't for Gogga's injury, I think it would have been 4 gold).
