Alpine skiing: 0 medals likely, maybe 1 by luck. Biathlon: 0 medals likely, maybe 1 by luck Bobsleigh: 2 medals (one men's and one women's) Cross-country skiing: 0 medals likely, maybe 1 by luck Curling: 3 medals, anything less would be a real shock. Figure skating: Team medal, ice dance and perhaps Osmond in the women's event. 3 medals. Freestyle skiing: 2 moguls medals, one in women's ski cross, one in slopestyle, one in halfpipe. 5 total. Hockey: 2 medals (hard to gauge though) Luge: 2 medals (one women's and one relay) Nordic Combined: Not competing in the sport, so 0. Skeleton: 0 medals likely, maybe 1 by luck Ski jumping: 0 medals Short track: 2 relay medals, Hamelin with an individual medal, the women with one individual medal. 4 medals. Snowboarding: 2 medals in men's slopestyle and 2 medals in big air. 4 total. Speed skating: I think Bloeman will win 2 medals, a women's medal (likely Blondin) and maybe another one from the men. So 3-4. Total: 32-37

Luxembourg's athlete is an American with a bg from there. However, doesn't Luxembourg also have strict standards?

Clearly she forgot to use her 'steroids' before this race (I am being sarcastic...)

Yea, but not one expected she would medal.

Wow Crawford came out of nowhere!! Similar to her sister at the 2006 Winter Olympics.

Gracenote is very bad in their predictions. So many errors and unrealistic results. I never trusted them tbh.

So no more races left?

And to the other big Multi-sports event of 2018, the Commonwealth Games. This appears to be Canada's athletics team: http://athletics.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/2018-Commonwealth-Games-Ranking-List.pdf Sadly they can only send a max of 36 athletes, meaning the women's 4x400 relay has to sit at home. This is ridiculous considering Australia got 111... Also its sad to Bishop, Drouin and George (understandably, as she will compete in bobsleigh in Pyeongchang) withdraw. Tat is possibly 3 medals opportunities gone down the drain. Canada won 17 medals in Glasgow, but only 11 are currently ranked in the top 3 atm.

Qualification is the same for both.

Yea the summer Olympics have much more wtf and boring sports than the Winter ones. The Winter Olympics are much more exciting to watch.

Some national teams news http://www.cbc.ca/sports/soccer/john-herdman-takes-over-canadas-mens-program-1.4478560

And slopestyle.

Watch the IOC force the ISU into adding it to attract young people.

Maybe as a new sport: "snowkite" Recently announced was a world cup series to begin shortly.

Without a doubt there needs to be a consistent world cup that develops the sport first.

Kylie Masse breaking the WR in the women's 100m backstroke.

Mono-bob would encourage other countries to compete, and also would reduce costs for countries that struggle to field 2 or 4 men squads. Also I thought for some reason cyclo cross was another term for ice cross (red bull crashed ice), this has to be on lol. so add two to my total. 148 in 19 sports.

What is cyclo cross? And I forgot to put monobob/cross country cross in mine, so my total would be 146 in 18 sports. But @heywoodu ski ballet, but no halfpipe or slopestyle? Wtf? lol

Three pieces of news: Lawes/Morris will represent in the mixed doubles in Pyeongchang is expected to make its debut at the next world mixed doubles championships Also will challenge for the last spot in the men's worlds this year. Possibly the biggest mismatch in sport this year?

He went from Poland to Prague, so i'd assume the next race is in The Czech Republic/

Harvey becomes 1st non-European to reach overall Tour de Ski podium

will be represented by Val Sweeting / Brad Gushue (Olympic Gold medalist 2006) or Kaitlyn Lawes (gold medalist in 2014) and John Morris (gold medalist in 2010) in the mixed doubles in Pyeongchang.

Mexican skier is not qualified, and is in the same situation as Pita.
