By total medals, they don't really have a chance to win 30 or more and i think Norway + maybe 2-3 other nations (Germany, Canada, USA) will do that. By gold, they might, i think the best case for them would be 12 golds here, but i think Germany (7 golds already + possible chances in women's skeleton, 3 x bob, luge team relay, alpine skiing giant slalom, biathlon women's relay, biathlon men's relay, biathlon mixed relay, nordic combined large hill, nordic combined team, ski jumping large hill, ski jumping team, snowboarding women's PGS) + maybe Norway can get there as well. Women's 500 m: Before the games this was by far the least likely gold for the Netherlands and i think it still is, maybe 10% at best i would say. Women's 5000 m: I think they will win gold there, don't know who Women's team pursuit: Hard to say, probably about 50% for gold Men's/Women's mass start: Impossible to say for me, don't understand it, don't care about it, don't know who the favorites are, but whenever i watched it, i thought that the outcome looks pretty "random". Men's 500/1000 m: Without the russians, i expect the dutch to win 2 golds Men's 10000 m: Safe gold Men's team pursuit: I'd say their chance might even be better than on the women's side, but in the world cup they never take it seriously, so i don't know what they are capable of. I think 4 golds should be safe + maybe 2 more. for me Medals table is counted on Gold medals , that's the official one which we can see on the official site and official app , i also see Germany as a clear favorite for 1st place , but Netherlands has all capabilities to finish 2nd here which at the end will be a very big result for them , i agree with u that Netherlands guarantees at least 4 gold medals and I'm predicting that they'll finish with even 11 here + maybe 1 surprise gold medal from Knegt espeically in men's 1000m in short track speed skating Edited February 14, 2018 by thepharoah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,552 Posted February 15, 2018 Author #492 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Big scandal in Dutch speedskating, yay Jillert Anema, as coach of the French team, asked the Dutch team to go easy in the 1st round of the team pursuit in Sochi, because for financial reasons a big loss for the French would be bad. In exchange, the French would let the Dutch win, so the result would be a small Dutch win: win for the Dutch, and only a small loss (and so no financial trouble) for the French. This news broke today, and it's all they talk about now. One more reason to hope Jorrit Bergsma (Anema's athlete) won't win If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm surprised the financial support for speed skating in France could be less than what it was (is) at the moment, regardless of the results NearPup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 13,552 Posted February 15, 2018 Author #496 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Belchos started with an incredible pace....one wonders if he's going to end up with 34+ second laps. Although his coach said this morning that he expects a lot from Belchos..possibly a medal.
