I hope GB wins more than 2 medals . Only for the reason that we are finally starting to develop as a serious (ish) winter sport nation across a range of sports and if the team fails to hit their medal target of at least 4 medals I'm worried about funding being harshly cut from winter olympic sports just when we need to be investing in them. I've got my fingers crossed for at least 1 medal in Short Track, 1 medal in Skeleton/Bobsleigh, 1 medal in Curling and 1-2 medals across the snow sports, that would be a great result and ensures UK Sport invests in a range of winter sports towards 2022.

The UK song selection Eurovision You Decide Contest will be held tonight in Brighton (clearly inspired by the Totallympics Song Contest held in the city last year!) Some of the songs are decent this year, especially Legends by Asanda which has a great afrobeat vibe, so fingers crossed the British public picks that tonight!

Agreed! Take a look at the fantastic BBC trailer/introduction, they've once again got it spot on:

I agree with you, I'm not convinced either. I reckon this is more of a psychological tactic which they've announced just as everyone's moving into the athletes village and beginning training on the track. I think the very technical design of the course wil have more of an impact than any sled because it sounds very different from most the tracks athletes are used to.

Just read that the British team are all going to be racing with brand new sleds from the English Institute of Sport (the same organisation closely linked with our track cycling equipment at the Olympics)! May not make much of a difference, but these sleds will not be used in any other competition so there must be something 'special' about them... we'll just have to wait and see!

Austria and Latvia are, but Norway still have theirs. Looks like Norway's losses have come from a range of sports, Snowboarding down from 9 to 5, no Luge athletes this time, Freestyle Skiing down from 11 to 8, there's not really an obvious place where they have lost their quota from?

Changes in Team Sizes since 2014: (Non-Host Nations participating in both games and minimum change of +/-4 athletes) China (+15) Belgium (+14) United States (+12) Croatia (+8) Italy (+8) Japan (+8) Belarus (+7) Czech Republic (+6) New Zealand (+6) Denmark (+5) Israel (+5) Slovenia (+5) Poland (+4) Sweden (+4) ------------------------------------- Brazil (-4) Serbia (-4) Kazakhstan (-6) Slovakia (-6) Netherlands (-8) Spain (-8) Australia (-9) France (-9) Ukraine (-10) Latvia (-23) Austria (-24) Norway (-25)

Great point! Everything I have seen so far suggests that our delgation is unfortunately likely to stay at 59. There is one consistent policy which is 2xtop 67% finishes at a World Cup event but Gemma Cooper only got that once in a mass start at the Calgary WC, so she technically hasn't met the conditions set out by the BOA for all sports. It was because of this that we rejected our second Women's Ski Cross quota. Whilst it is unfortunate we won't have any speed skaters (long track) in PyeongChang, our team is developing and the results in the Junior World Cup and near qualification this time are positive steps towards developing the sport in GB.

Spain and New Zealand should be on that list, both of them have decent chances for a medal in figure Skating/snowboarding?

We did in Mountain bike cycling at the Olympics in 2016! If the athlete has achieved the internal qualifying standard they should be accepted whether they qualified directly or via reallocation.

There’s a whole bunch of them on the GB moguls team! Makayla Gerken-Schofield Leonie Gerken-Schofield Thomas Gerken-Schofield They are all still teenagers so with the new moguls performance programme that has been recently set up they should all be potential Olympians in Beijing.

The official policy is that no tripartite or reallocated quota will be accepted, so I doubt it!

GB has pretty strict rules too! 2x Top 67% in a World Cup or World Championships. Might be harsh but produces a stronger quality team as a result and doesn’t seem to affect too many athletes, just 2 this time - 1 in women’s ski cross and 1 in women’s cross country!

I’m 99% sure that GB will reject our second quota in Women’s Ski Cross, but we should accept the rest.

Yeah I think so! Potentially Madi Rowlands may double up with halfpipe, don’t know if that would change the quota at all? We will definitely reject our second quota in women’s ski cross though.

Special Unified Korea bets: The Unified Korea women's hockey team will win a match Athletes from both North and South Korea will score a goal for the Unified Team in the same match A North Korean athlete will finish ahead of a South Korean athlete in any event - not including DNF

They've all had a bit of experience! But not for a few years - they have all competed in Iran and some in junior races in Kazakhstan. Also their cross country skiers were pretty good at a race in Russia so if they would have bothered they probably could have qualified anyway.

Not quite - there will be 23 South Koreans and 12 North Koreans, so technically only 2 South Koreans will miss out as a usual sized team is 25. 22 athletes are selected for each match and at least 3 North Koreans must feature in each match.

North Korea will compete with 22 athletes at the 2018 Olympics. There will be 12 women’s ice hockey players joining a unified team. 10 other athletes will compete in figure Skating, short Track speed skating, cross country skiing and Alpine Skiing.

GB athletes vote for the flagbearer about a day or two before the ceremony! Plus we can surely guess a few like Ghana, Timor-Leste, Morocco?
