Snowboard big air and slopestyle team will be named Friday
 

Updated Freestyle Skiing Qualification Rankings
 
Selection criteria.
 
For the men, Julien Viel, Miha Fontaine and Dylan Marineau all moved up 1 tier or more.
 
For the women, Marion Thenault, Megan Oldham, and Jessica Linton all moved up 1 tier or more.
 
A few other athletes also put themselves within the first five tiers of Method B but don't have enough placment points to qualify.
 
The biggest things to watch out for final qualifying week:
It's likely going to come down to Elliott Vaillancourt vs. Max Moffatt for the final spot on the Olympic team. Vaillancourt has one more placement point than Moffatt does. He has the advantage with having two competitions this week compared to one for Moffatt but the latter is in the better form coming off a 6th place finish last week in Aspen which was his best finish of the qualification period. You might have noticed that Elena Gaskell doesn't show up here and that's because despite winning a medal last weekend, her top 3 finishes during the qualification period sum up to over 22 points nor does she have 3 finishes in the top 16. As a result, she finds herself in tier 6 and on the outside looking in (although maybe she could be discretionally selected?). So if she finishes inside the top 16 this weekend in Laax, she'll be off to the Olympics. Otherwise, the final spot in slopestyle/big air will go to Skye Clarke.

Italy is setting up to have a helluva boost from the home Olympics 

*Again, these projections are highly unscientific and and nothing more than an exercise in my willingness to be wrong in public

Updated my medal projections from last March. Have Canada winning 26, up from 23 (mostly thanks to an improvement in our distance speed skating prospects, thank you Ms. Weidemann). Overall that would leave us 5th for total medals
 
USA - 35
GER - 34
NOR - 31
ITA - 28
CAN - 26

Again, these projections are highly unscientific and and nothing more than an exercise in my willingness to be wrong in public
 
 

I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!
 
I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe:

Norway - 14
US - 11
Germany - 11
Italy - 11
Canada - 10
Austria - 8
Netherlands - 8
Japan - 7
Sweden - 6
France.- 6
 
I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups.

Stellato and Deschamps have an absolute trainwreck and drop to second. Pererria and Michaul take the title!


Unfortunate way to end it, saw several other very strong skates. The future looks bright in pairs

The proof will be in the pudding... but I think there is a lot more of a hangover from Trials than most people appreciate. It's hard to peak for a gauntlet like that, especially when you've been focused on it for years, then recover, regroup and refocus. I think this accounts for a lot of our spotty record historically at the Olympics in curling. 
 
It's not quite like tapering for athletics or swimming, that's more of a physical thing. Though there are similar elements, and you cannot peak twice in short order. It often takes months to properly peak again. 
 
I wish we'd hold trials the season before like the mixed doubles do now, and several other top countries do. Let the teams plan their seasons around the Olympics, focus on that and properly prepare. 

Assuming clean programs:

Gold - Fournier-Beaudry and Cizeron
Silver - Lajoie and Lagha 
Bronze - Guinard and Fabbri if I had to pick a name... but between 3-6 there are a lot of close teams between G/F, G/P, C/B, Z/K, good but flawed teams, actually maybe I'd give the nod to Zingas/Kolesnik as they aren't no much flawed as young

19th place for Nadia Moser in today's sprint. Best Canadian result of the season so far. Shilo Rousseau finished 47th and also qualified for the pursuit.

Also had 4 ski jumpers in 2022, not three. Forgetting the great Olympic mixed team medalist Matthew Soukop, tsk tsk 

I thought we gave up on that theory back in November... 

In the 2nd 500, Dubreuil broke the TR, which was held by Jordan Stolz! Zhao was second and Johnson third. Not sure if this race has any implication on selection. For the women McDougall + Larter were the top 2. 
 
After yesterday's race Dubreuil said it was difficult to do the race and he fought of an illness and wasn't training for it. So hopefully this new TR is a good sign heading into the Olympics.

Lamarche wins the 1500, and Maltais was second.

Yeah, the Dutch trials are must see viewing with huge crowds and top notch production values... and ours is on a stream with 26 people watching and appears to be shot on oversaturated security cameras! 

Hopefully it will be a good atmosphere at the speed skating, have tickets for the women's 1500m :3

Canadian Olympic Speed Skating Trials begin tomorrow in Quebec City.
 
You can find the list of participants, schedule, results and more at this link here.
 
It will also be streamed on the CBC website and youtube.
 
The most important thing however, is the Olympic Matrix. As there are only a maximum of 8 women's and 7 men's quotas, Speed Skating Canada has compiled a matrix to rank all the event finishers by importance. The places higher up in the matrix are given more priority. Several of the spots on the matrix have already been filled out based on the World Cup Results. The rest of the spots will be filled out this weekend.

Abigail Strate wins gold on the large hill in Oberstdorf!

I think it depends on the sport. 
 
On one hand, I admire the meritocracy of trials for Dutch speed skating or US athletics... but I don't think it's necessarily a recipe for optimal results forcing athletes to run the gauntlet at incredibly competitive trials, then turn around and try to peak again in short order at the Olympics. 

It's something Canada does for our curling teams, and I think it's been a big part of the reason we've underperformed internationally more than one would expect. The successes we've had I feel are largely in spite of the qualification system, not because of it. Granted curling is a much different sport, but in it's case and it were up to me, I'd do like Sweden or GB, select the team the prior season then let them properly plan their seasons around the Olympics and preparing properly... rather than needing to peak for trials, and pouring whomever survives onto a plane for the Olympics a few weeks later

For speedskating, I like the Canadian system. It's a mix of international results and trials. The medal contenders largely have their spots sewn up, so trials are a none-issue... and the rest are mostly just making up the numbers, so a heavier weighting on trials results is fair enough as no one else in that situation has done enough to solidify their position prior, so might as well play the hot hand. The Dutch having such incredible depth would obviously need to set the pre-qualification bar higher, but I don't think it would hurt them. But then again, their entire system is build around performance on demand... and that's produced great results, even if a few Ted-Jan Bloeman's wash out along the way
