I had not seen anything about this until now, but I see there is no Award Plaza at these Games.  All medals will be presented at the venue, immediately following the event.  
 

I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird

 

Assuming we post news here too... unfortunately, it's not good
 
Critchlow is out with injury, and Deanna Stellato apparently suffered a bad injury as well, so Stellato/Deschamps are out of the Figure Skating team event (Perreria/Michaud in), and may be withdrawing from the Pairs event entirely. 
 
 

I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada. 
 
Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)

The Game!!!
 
Inspired by the Team GB club during the 2024 Olympics, I though this would be another fun way to keep track of the games. The game is simple. Every day, I'll post a few questions in the opening post of each thread and if you're playing, you post your answers to the questions below. Whoever gets the most questions right at the end of the Olympics wins. You can change your answers as many times as you like as long as the first event hasn't begun.
 
1. Curling: Which Canadian curler will curl at a higher percentage in the game against Czechia? (Jocelyn Peterman or Brett Gallant)
2. Snowboarding: Which Canadian will place highest in qualification? (Eli Bouchard, Francis Jobin, Mark McMorris, Cameron Spalding)
3. Ice Hockey: Who will score the first goal against Finland? (You can view the roster here. If you don't think Canada will score a goal, please specify)   

That's a relief, our long international nightmare is finally over

Here's the report, for anyone interested.  (It's not as damning towards the Canadians as the headlines would lead you to believe...not shocked.). In here, it does seem as if Uhlaender was hoping to get picked over Ro...yet I thought I read elsewhere (sorry, can't find the source right now) that she ultimately didn't want to take Ro's place...  (which wouldn't make sense if it wasn't going to increase our quota).  She's probably upset at a number of things...not being picked to WC team first, not having a place for the Olympics, and then this with Canada.
 
It is interesting that the USOPC is backing this, though...one would hope that it wouldn't stoop to the level of personal grievances...

I think there must have been something between them, too.  Why would she have recorded a phone conversation?  Any why would he have said that?  Weird...

That's the tree she should have been barking up all along. 

I wonder if there are issues between her and the USABS too. I noticed they kept their names off all these appeals and advocacy she's been doing, it's the USOPC backing her.

Crosby plays in Buffalo the night before the OC. The game would end around 5am Milano time, that gives about 12 hours to get to Milano and be on the track. Not impossible if he has a charter, but not likely. 
 
Honestly, we have so many great athletes that never get the spotlight, I'd rather one of them get the moment. My favourite part of the OC is the Parade of Nations and I don't like how recent Games are diluting them. Paris on shared boats, and now with multiple venues. Clara Hugues leading Team Canada into Vancouver is so iconic to me. Watching the Parade of Nations live in Beijing and going crazy for Team Canada, and watching others go crazy for their countries. More of that. 
 
Crosby will light the flame in a home games in 20 years. And we'll all go crazy then. 

So I have our roster sitting at 206... plus one more female cross country skier to be named. Does that sound right?

If they get to the gold medal game, I think there is only about 3 hours between the medal ceremony and the closing ceremony... and they'd need to haul his ass from Milan to Verona
 
 

Not sure how they’re dealing with the four ceremonies… but my picks would be Kingsbury and either Thompson or Sharpe

Hyping the same thing at 4x the bandwidth is so 2026

He was the first Canadian male swimmer to win 2 medals in a single Olympics since Curtis Myden in 1996. It's a shame. 

And that's just primetime.  Here's the full NBC grid (yes, that is me on X and I'll have updated TV info each day from NBC press releases)
