Surreal

Done my prediction contest and I went with 11 medals for GBR including 7 Golds. Probably ambitious and unlikely for them to all go our way, but honestly, at least five of those Gold medalists are at minimum co-favourites in their events. Just shows how good a place we're in for these games. A reminder that GBR's best previous medal haul at a Winter Olympics is 5 medals and we've never won more than one Gold at a single games. At the very least, we should beat that (hopefully I haven't just jinxed it for us).

Discovery Plus doing the same as Paris for those wondering, £4 a month to get all of the Olympic action. Not bad at all.

Hey guys, I contribute Skeleton articles for a new winter-sports focused website called "All things Snow". I was wondering if any of you could please spare a few moments to read my latest article on the World Cup finale in Altenberg a few weeks ago. Any feedback on length, content, or just general tips will be greatly appreciated. I'll be sure to implement them in my Olympic Skeleton recap pieces. Thanks! https://allthingssnow.net/2026/01/19/pfeifer-and-wyatt-win-the-finale-meylemans-and-weston-seal-crystal-globes/

Any Italians got an update on Flora Tabanelli?

British Women on fire at X Games! 3rd Gold for a 3rd different athlete with Kirsty Muir on slopestyle! Kirsty backed it up later in the day with a close silver in big air despite a massive score of 94! Meanwhile, Mia Brookes followed up her snowboard slopestyle Gold with a Bronze in the big air. Thats's 5 medals for the Brits this year - Our most ever at a single Winter X Games & first time with multiple Golds! We're in a great place in Park + Pipe going into the Olympics.

Been doing some investigating and Jacques Jefferies, who qualified the quota for the Men, posted on his Insta yesterday "Exciting few weeks ahead keep your eyes peeled 👀" - Sounds like a Man who's just been selected for the Olympics to me.

Great start to the X Games for GB with Double Gold! Mia Brookes beats all the other Olympic favourites to claim Gold in Slopestyle while Zoe Atkin also claimed Gold! Chances for more medals in Aspen later in the weekend with Muir in her events and Mia going again in the big air.

Bobsleigh team just got officially announced, and BBSA rejected Gleeson's quota, so he's not in the team at all... He had allegations against him by members of the GB Bobsleigh team post-Beijing. Wonder if that's why he wasn't selected? Or was it that the selection policy stated he had to compete on the World Cup circuit (which he didn't do)?

Isnt Gleeson also in the 2-Man? He's much better in the 2 as well and could finish top 15 in that.

With Olympic silver medalist Tess Ledeux and 2025 World Champ Flora Tabanelli both still recovering from injury, Kirsty honestly has a genuine medal chance in Milan in the Big Air.

Any idea why Weston's start is about 2 tenths slower than last year? Injury issues?

I believe the ITT is on Wed 19 July while the track events start on Tue 25, definitely possible to double up for him. This all depends on if the ITT route being not too hilly for him though, otherwise I'll expect him just to do the track.
