Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina
 
Ski Sports
 
Alpine Skiing  (4) - The qualification system is a bit confusing, but from what I gather the team is Guaranteed 2 quotas (one for each gender), and then more are given for rankings. I can only see 1 female qualifying, but the men's team is a bit stronger, and could improve with some juniors coming through. I would say a baseline of 3, with a max of 5, 6 if things really improve. 
Cross Country Skiing  (3) - The men's team came 11th in the world cup last year, and with some good results could move up to top 10 which would give 3 quotas, The women's team is non existant. 
Ski Jumping  (0) - Nope
Nordic Combined  (0) - Nope
Freestyle Skiing  (6) - Based on last year rankings, the athletes are ranked: M Moguls (26/30), M Ski Cross (26/32), M Halfpipe (33/25), M Slopestyle (39+40/30) W Moguls (23+42/30), W Halfpipe (3/25), W Big Air (5/30), W Slopestyle (19+22/30)  Barring Injury , thats 2 quotas on the women's side, and I would predict 4 more, with a max team of 7 or 8.
Snowboarding  (2) - W Halfpipe (34/25) is the only unknown quota, as both Charlotte Bankes and Mia Brookes should qualify easily. Huw Nightlingale may get a spot for the Mixed Team snowboard cross but I don't know how it works.
Biathlon  (0) - Nope
Ski Mountaineering  (0) - Nope
 
 
Skating Sports
 
Speed Skating  (2) - Cornelius Kersten and Elia Smelding should qualify, although they both haven't competed this year.
Short Track Speed Skating  (2) - A team of 5 went to the world but only a couple could really qualify
Figure Skating  (4) - Fear and Gibson should qualify, and the pair team is ranked 16th in the world with 19 qualifiers. 
 
 
Sleigh Sports
 
Luge  (0) - Nope
Skeleton  (6) - A full team is certainly on the cards, but with only ranking points from the next season counting a lot could change
Bobsleigh  (6) - Brad Hall and Co should qualify for both 2 and 4 man. I doubt any more will qualify from the mens side. Adele Nicholl on the womens should also qualify in both events
 
 
Team Sports
 
Curling  (12) - Anything but a full team would be a dissapointment
Ice Hockey  (0) - The men were the only chance

I'll give you the curling comments based on your expertise. But, I will say that GB have only ever not qualified a curling team once, the mixed pair in 2018. They just have a way of upping their game when the olympics come around. 
 
I hope I'm wrong but I have a funny feeling that Huw Nightingale won't qualify and as such neither will the Mixed Team. It feels a bit like the Mixed Team Skeet in Paris, where Ben Llewellin missed out on qualifying for the individual so the team couldn't compete, despite being World Champions 2 years prior. 
 
Again, you definately know more about ice hockey than me but I feel like, apart from vs Norway, the Team wasn't outplayed in the final qualifier. Albeit intermittently, the team has been in the top division of the world championships for a few years now, so they do have the quality to compete for an Olympic Berth

My knowledge of Winter sport isn't great, and I feel I tend to be over optimistic but I'll give it a go for .
 
Alpine Skiing - Never won a medal before but Zak-Carrick Smith picked up 3 including 2 golds at the Winter Youth Olympics earlier in the year. It's clearly a very outside shot but we will see how he progresses. Dave Ryding could also medal on his day, although he will be 39 in 2026
 
Bobsleigh - Brad Hall and Co have been in with a shot for a number of years now, winning numerous medals on the worlds circuit. 2026 will likely be their last but I can see them giving it a good go. Adele Nicoll is still a relative newbie but with another 2 seasons under her belt and some help from hall she could be a contender. 
 
Cross Country Skiing - Andrew Musgrave is still kicking around and he has won world cup medals in the past.
 
Curling - In 2022 our only medals came in curling. Bruce Mouat will certainly go in as one of the favourites, but the women's team is going through a bit of rebuilding. Double gold at the winter youth games bodes well for the future
 
Figure Skating - Fear and Gibson have looked good this year and could return us to the golden era of the 80's. 
 
Freestyle Skiing - Zoe Atkin and Kirsty Muir both won medals at last year world cup, and Atkin took silver at the worlds, so they would be medal contenders, but both in very crowded events
 
Short Track Speed Skating - Not really and serious opportunities after the retirement of Elise Christie. 
 
Skeleton - After an extremely disappointing Beijing, the team has bounced back well and will be competitive in all 3 events, it's nice to see the team having a range of strong athletes rather than being dominated by a couple of exceptional ones. We better not do to well though, or the American's may blame us for cheating again.
 
Snowboarding - Mia Brookes is the current world Champion, and would be the most likely to medal in 2026. In the Snowboard Cross, Charlotte Bankes will be up there, and I feel like Huw Nightingale could progress this year, after some great performances in the Mixed team event.
 
 
As is the case with British Winter Sport, there are no clear favourites in any events, but there is a nice mix of competitive athletes in a diverse range of sports. 

Coming into Beijing, I (perhaps naïvely), believed that GB could get 5+ golds. In 2026, that possibility is still there, if not slightly greater, but my expectations have been lowered. 
We are still quite far away from the games but I feel the team is shaping up quite nicely, with a nice breadth of medal contending sports as opposed to our usual medal factories.

Reeves clearly spent too much time watching Keely etc and not enough time watching hockey and other relative disappointments.

With the games drawing to a close today, I thought I would look back over the last couple of weeks of sporting action, compare the results to my predictions and discuss what the future looks like in LA.

Taekwondo
 
3 athletes in 3 events
 
Matt Bush - Men's +80kg - WR 4 - 2023 World champion
Bath Munro - Women's -65kg - WR 1 - 2023 World Silver
Amy Truesdale - Women's +65kg - WR 2 - 2023 World Champion
 
All 3 athletes medalled at the last worlds and could certainly win gold. With only 10 athletes in each category, only a couple of wins will guarantee a medal. This squad feels a bit like the olympic squad where all athletes are world class and can win gold but can be a bit inconsistent as well. 
 
My prediction - 1 gold, 3 medals

Para Swimming

                                                    - Women's 200m IM SM7 - WR 6
 
S14 relay - WR 1
 
In Tokyo, the team won 8 golds an I think they are at that level based on guaranteed golds alone, mainly thanks to the return of Alice Tai and Brock Whiston, who both missed Tokyo. In terms of depth, GB's strongest classification is S14, with a strong group of up and coming teenagers. However, this class is very strong internationally, so there aren't any guaranteed golds apart from the men's 200m free and women's 100m backstroke. The big unknown is neutral athlete Valeriia Shabalina, who on paper is faster or equal to the GB swimmers in 3 events, but many of her times are from a 2022 Russian event, as she was banned from the 2023 worlds.  This squad has a very large gold medal potential, but there are a lot of tight margins (which we saw in the olympics don't always favour GB). Despite this, I expect the squad to easily outperform Tokyo in terms of golds and medals. 
 
My prediction - 15 golds, and 35 medals. 
 

Rowing
 
10 athletes in 4 events
 
Ben Pritchard - Men's PR1 Men's Single Sculls - 2022 + 2023 World Bronze
Lauren Rowles/Greg Stevenson - PR2 Mixed Double Sculls - 2023 World Champs
Sam Murray/Annabel Caddick - PR3 Mixed Double Sculls 
PR3 Mixed Coxed Fours - 2023 World Champs
 
All 4 squads are medal contenders, and both world champion teams should win. If there was ever a nailed on gold it is the PR3 mixed coxed fours, who have been utterly dominant in this event. Ben Pritchard looks fairly secure for bronze, as he has had a large gap between himself and 4th at both world championships. He also comfortably beat the world silver medallist at a world cup event. The main unknown is the PR3 mixed double sculls, who were 4th at last years worlds but won the European title this year, and came second at the world cup, beating half teams (1 different athletes) that won world silver and bronze very comfortably.  Given the athletes haven't really competed this year it is hard to judge form, but to me it looks like the team is trending in the right direction
 
My prediction - 2 golds 4 medals

Para Triathlon 
 
11 athletes in 7 events
 
Henry Urand - Men's PTS3 - WR 10 
Finley Jakes - Men's PTS4 - WR 11
Michael Taylor - Men's PTS4 - WR 10 
Dave Ellis - Men's PTVI - WR 1 - World Champion 2023
Oscar Kelly - Men's PTVI - WR 7 
 
Melissa Nichols - Women's PTWC - WR 6
Hannah Moore - Women's PTS4 - WR 4 
Megan Richter - Women's PTS4 - WR 9 
Claire Cashmore - Women's PTS5 - WR 1 - World Silver 2023
Lauren Steadman - Women's PTS5 - WR 11 - World Bronze 2023
Alison Peasgood - Women's PTVI - WR 11
 
GB won a medal of each colour in 2021, and based on the 2023 world championships, they are expected to match that result. Oscar Kelly hasn't lost a race since June 2023 so is a clear favourite. Lauren Steadman is the defending champion but has been suffering from long covid so her form is unknown.
 
My prediction - 1 Gold 4 medals
 

Track Cycling
 
15 athletes in 14 events
The Kilo/500m events are split into the same groups as the road races, C1-3, C4-5 and B, with times being adjusted for classes. The Individual Pursuit events are split for each class, except for the women's C1-C3 pursuit.
 
Men's B squad - James Ball - TT + IP - 2023 + 2024 TT silver, 
                          - Neil Fachie - TT + IP - 2023 + 2024 TT world champ
                          - Steve Bate - TT - 2023 bronze and 2024 silver
Men's C1-C3 Squad - Matthew Robertson - IP - C2
                                  - Fin Graham - TT + IP - C3 - 2023 + 2024 IP Silver
                                  - Jaco van gass - TT + IP -C3 - 2023 Double + 2024 IP gold
Men's C4-C5 Squad - Archie Atkinson - TT + IP - C4 - 2024 IP world champ
                                   - Jody Cundy - TT - C4 - 2023 + 2024 World champ
                                   - Blaine Hunt - TT + IP - C5 - 2023 + 2024 TT world champ 
 
Women's B squad - All TT + IP - Lora Fachie - IP paralympic champion
                                                     - Lizzie Jordan - 2024 double world champion
                                                     - Sophie Unwin - 2024 double world champion
Fran Brown - C1 - TT - 2023 world Silver
Daphne Schrager - C2 - IP - 2024 World champ
Kadeena Cox - C4 - TT - 2023 + 2023 World champ
 
Mixed Team Sprint - Paralympic Champions - 2023 and 2024 world silver
 
The team won 6 golds and 14 medals in Tokyo. The squad has changed a bit since then, but 5 of the gold medal winners are still there, with the exception of Sarah Storey, who is just focusing on the road. Kadeena Cox has suffered an injury, so her form is a bit unknown, but she was so dominant that she could still win at 90% health. Neil Fachie and James ball have gone 1-2 and the TT at the last 2 worlds comfortably, so that gold looks pretty safe, same with both women's B events, and the men's C3 IP. Archie Atkinson was dominant at the worlds earlier in the year, and with GB having both double world champions in the C4-C5 TT, they are favourites there also. Schrager is a bit of an unkown, she qualified fastest (WR), at the 2023 worlds but was miles off her time in finals, she won in Rio, and was quicker then the winner C3, who she will be up against. I don't think she will win but she will likely medal. The mixed team sprint (Apparently mixed, but all 3 of Chinas athletes are male), will be a likely fight between GB and China, with china the favourites, especially if Cox is injured. 
 
My prediction - 6 golds and 14 medals, the same as Tokyo.

Rachel Choong - Women's singles SH6 - WR 4 
Mixed Doubles SH6 - WR 1 - 2022 World Bronze
 
In Tokyo, the sport made it's debut and the team brought home a silver and a bronze. On paper all 4 athletes could medal and even win but I don't think any of them are favourites in their categories.  The strongest chance is Dan Bethell, having narrowly lost in the many global finals he has competed in.
 
My prediction - 1 Gold, 3 medals

Archery
 
4 athletes in 4 events.
 
Nathan Macqueen - Men's Individual Compound : WR 3 and 2023 world silver medallist.
Jodie Grinham - Women's Individual Compound : WR 11
Phoebe Patterson Pine - Women's Individual Compound : WR 13 and 2021 Olympic Champion
Victoria Kingstone - Women's Individual Recurve : WR 9
Mixed Team Compound - WR 4 and European champions
 
In Tokyo the team sent 7 athletes and won a Gold and a Bronze. No golds are expected but are certainly possible, with the strongest chances being Nathan Macqueen and the Mixed team compound. 
 
GB have won every Women's Compound Gold since 2008 and both athletes have the ability to continue this streak.
 
My prediction - 0 gold, 2 medals

Should say thanks btw for creating all these threads.  Big help.

Quieter day after yesterday, but I predict 4 golds.
 

Imagine what it would have been with Triathlon

12 golds for  today? 

Third grade sports like swimming , cycling and diving should be completely scrapped from commonwealth games. Shooting and Kabaddi should be included.

So the  Fighter was winning 8-2 vs  in the final when she mistimed a kick and accidentally kicked her opponent in the face, which means she would be disqualified if the  fighter could not continue and the kick was deemed to be intentional. Clearly watching the replays it was not intentional as the kick hit the shoulder and then slipped up onto the head, and that's what the judges agreed. The controversy was that the  fighter chose not to compete in the hope the  fighter would be DQed, even though she was deemed fit to compete by the neutral medical doctor.

If that had gone the otherway that would have been the biggest farce ever.

I agree, and these are just sports that could all be fit in one venue. You could probably fit netball in instead of a couple of sports, as the courts aren't that big.
