Here's a comparison of what GraceNote predicted and what we got.

 

Medals Correctly Predicted

Gold - Freestyle Skiing - Men's Moguls - M. Kingsbury (Got Gold)

Silver - Ice Hockey - Women's Team (Got Silver)

Silver - Speed Skating - Men.s 5000m - T. Bloemen (Got Silver)

Bronze - Figure Skating - Pairs - Duhamel/Radford (Got Bronze)

Bronze - Short Track - Men's 5000m Relay (Got Bronze)

 

Most of these medals were quite likely

 

Medals Predicted, but Wrong Colour

Gold - Bobsleigh - Women's 2-man - K. Humphries (Got Bronze)

Gold - Ice Hockey - Men's Team (Got Bronze)

Gold - Snowboarding - Men's Slopestyle - M. McMorris (Got Bronze)

Silver - Bobsleigh - Men's 2-man - J. Kripps (Got Gold)

Silver - Curling  - Mixed Team (Got Gold)

Silver - Figure Skating - Ice Dancing - Moir/Virtue (Got Gold)

Bronze - Freestyle Skiing - Women's Halfpipe - C. Sharpe (Got Gold)

Bronze - Freestyle Skiing - Women's Moguls - J. Dufour-Lapointe (Got Silver)

Bronze - Speed Skating - Men's 10,000m - T. Bloemen (Got Gold)

 

Six slight overperformance and three slight underperformance wasn't too bad.

 

Medals Predicted, but Wrong Athlete

Gold - Snowboarding - Men's Big Air - M. Parrot (S. Toutant, Got Gold)

Silver - Short Track - Men's 1000m - C. Hamelin (S. Girard, Got Gold)

Silver - Short Track - Women's 500m - M. St-Gelais (K. Boutin, Got Bronze)

Bronze - Short Track - Women's 1000m - M. St-Gelais (K. Boutin, Got Silver)

Bronze - Short Track - Women's 1500m - M. St-Gelais (K. Boutin, Got Bronze)

 

Boutin really saved short track from underperforming by more than expected and it covers St-Gelais who was expected to win four medals and won zero.

 

Medals Predicted, but Failed to Obtain

Gold - Curling - Men's Team (Got 4th)

Gold - Curling - Women's Team (Got 6th)

Silver - Short Track - Men's 1500m - C. Hamelin (Got PEN in Final)

Silver - Speed Skating - Women's Mass Start - I. Blondin (Got 18th)

Bronze - Short Track - Men's 1500m - S. Girard (Got 4th)

Bronze - Short Track - Women's 3000m Relay (Got PEN in Final)

Bronze - Snowboarding - Men's Big Air - M. McMorris (Got 10th)

Bronze - Speed Skating - Women's 5000m - I. Blondin (Got 5th)

Bronze - Speed Skating - Men's Team Pursuit (Got 7th)

 

Curling was very disappointing as we all know. Short track and speed skating also underperformed, but that happens when you rely too much on a single athlete.

 

Medals Not Predicted, but Obtained

Figure Skating - Team Trophy (Got Gold)

Figure Skating - Women's Singles - K. Osmond (Got Bronze)

Freestyle Skiing - Men's Ski Cross - B. Leman (Got Gold)

Freestyle Skiing - Women's Ski Cross - K, Serwa (Got Gold)

Freestyle Skiing - Women's Ski Cross - B. Phelan (Got Silver)

Freestyle Skiing - Men's Slopestyle - A. Beaulieu-Marchand (Got Bronze)

Luge - Team Relay (Got Silver)

Luge - Women's Singles - A. Gough (Got Bronze)

Snowboarding - Men's Slopestyle - M. Parrot (Got Silver)

Snowboarding - Women's Slopestyle - L. Blouin (Got Silver)

 

It's ridiculous that they didn't predict a medal in figure skating team trophy. Everything else you could have argued that Canada may not have gotten top 3 in.
