It's doable, but it sounds like the very upper limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think 20 is the upper limit with a bit of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Edited January 13, 2018 by De_Gambassi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlympicIRL 4,756 Posted January 13, 2018 #55 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I am confident we will win somewhere in the region of 0-10 medals. dcro and Gianlu33 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pessimistic projection, isn't it? 0-14 should be the realistic one. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ). 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 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)... heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intoronto 4,071 Posted January 13, 2018 #60 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Wouldn't put it past Canada to sweep either the men's slopestyle or big air in snowboarding either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
