Olsbu is actually a very safe pick for a medal. I ruled Tandrevold out. The biggest crapshoot are the French women IMO. I have Braisaz winning one medal. Let's see how that goes. I gave up on Makarainen here, no medals in my picks. And always a good bet for Oeberg in the individual

I kinda envisioned Italians flopping more than Norwegians (as in no gold medals for the hosts) I picked Olsbu to win the mass start so she better keeps this up for the second week

What are the three most popular countries for inline skating? Italy, Netherlands and Belgium? Given how Italy tends to produce some world class skaters (mainly in short track these days) I suppose France is really behind the eightball. I don't recall any world class skater on the long track in the XXI century and even your short track team is not as impressive as it could have been.

Could have been worse. I wonder how many people predicted double Eckhoff gold in sprint & pursuit!

Nobody mentioned it but Milena Todorova finished 27th with only one miss. She scored a total of 2 points in her World Cup career to date (39th in Ostersund individual this season).

I suspect he predicted gold for Olsbu and silver & bronze for "Any Other Athlete"

What helps British skeleton is the fact the country itself is basically non-existent in winter sports. Therefore it's easier to get some funding if you show just the smallest hint of potential. It's completely different in summer sports, even in core UK events like athletics or cycling where pretty good athletes are left out in the cold because they are "too old" at age 26 or a Top 6 result is considered "below par". Anyone from UK who gets a Top 10 in winter sport is probably considered a big talent though I read about some issues for the bobsleigh team last year?

Several of the big guns missing a ton of targets contributed to some second tier athletes overperforming. Sadly that wasn't the case for Kamila Zuk who missed four in the prone before going clear in the stands. One of these days she will hit 10/10. Btw, Tomasz Sikora said yesterday Olsbu had her rifle repaired before the WChamps since somtething was wrong with it. Guess whatever they did, it worked pretty well

I got one medallist right in the wrong position so I know I'm scoring 1 point

Our worst skier had the best shooting and our best skier had the worst shooting. Typical luck for

I wonder if Eckhoff pulls out of the pursuit tbh.

Pidrushna ahead of Herrmann!!! What a last lap!!! BUT.. Charvatova steals the bronze from Pidrushna!!! What a championships for

Hello, Charvatova??? 9/10!

Oeberg with three misses and that's the medal gone. Herrmann goes 3rd with three misses!

Dunklee lost 10 secs in the last 500 meters... almost fell down on her face... and goes 2nd.

Dunklee is out of gas. Only 3 secs ahead with 500 meters left...

Dunklee 10/10!!! Olsbu might wanna check out now!

Well, it's looking pretty good for Olsbu unless maybe Hanna Oeberg goes 10/10.

Paulina Fialkova with two misses...

Tandrevold also 4 misses in the stand... sigh,...

Olsbu 9/10 which could give her a medal but the gold is still possible for 10/10.

Eckoff 4 misses in the stand. A complete meltdown! Aita Gasparin 10/10.

2 misses for Vittozzi, one for Wierer. Olsbu & Tandrevold clear in the prone. And P.Fialkova too!

Eckhoff with 2 misses in the prone!

Alexander Aamodt Kilde wins and takes the lead in the overall!
