Fasuba is still only 14

Two fabulous performances by the future of British sprinting over the weekend.

Potential a citizen of five different countries. American by birth, Japanese by parentage, Georgian, Israeli and Lithuanian by naturalization. Although she might have had to give up some of those passports when she switched countries due to rules on dual nationality.

And a new WR in the women's sprint qualifiers. Emma Finucane 9.975 for the flying 200

We only added her to the Olympedia database 30 minutes ago...

Frankly, GB has never gone into a Winter Games with so many medal chances. A bad Games could see just a handful of minor medals, an absolutely perfect Games might see Britain at the bottom end of the top 6 countries in the medal table. Probably the truth will be in between.

Great choice if you want to test that your printer is working...

Maybe good news for the 2030 Algerian winter Olympic team? https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20230125-algeria-witnesses-rare-snowfall/

Nice to see my Olympedia colleague being mentioned at the end of press release

I hope the TV coverage will be better than that at the Youth Olympics

I'm not convinced a bronze medal will be awarded. Thailand's team had a poor record on doping after 2016

It would make sense for him to be picked as British Biathlon made an effort to get him to move from France to Britain. I have much more doubt about the quota of a British woman

Do you know what's happening with GB Biathlon?

will boycott this tournament because of bad relations with replace them Also a warm up match 118 lost to 119-7 by three wickets. I know this the wrong flag for Ireland but it's easier for everyone to understand if I use this.

And we've got athletes with British parents from

Sorry - Clugnet not Cackett for CCS

53 ALP 3 (Ryding, Taylor, Major) BIA 2 quotas (not named but also not rejected) BOB 6 (Hall, Lawrence, Cackett, Greenwood, Nicol, Nelson) CCS 4 (Musgrave, Davies, Cackett, Pryce) CUR 10 (Mpuat, McMillan, Hardie, Lammie, Waddell, Morrison, Dodds, Sinclair, Johnson, Henderson) FRS 8 (Appleby, Spours, Viapan-Law, Digby, Fear, Gibson, Bekker, Hernandez) FSK 8 (Kenworthy, Z.Atkin, Richards, McCormick, Muir, Jeannesson, M.

GB preview part 2 Cross-Country Skiing - 3 men 1 woman Anna Pryce - since she switched to compete for GB from Canada she's had a single top 30 finish in the World Cup but she's still young and improving. Maybe a top 40 Joe Davies -He seems only to be entered in sprint events but has a top six finish over 20k in the World Cup this year. Maybe racing under distance. James Clugnet - Solid but unexciting sprinter. Andrew Musgrave - Reliable distance racer. Regular top 10 finish at the World Championship. A medal would be a major surprise but not impossible Curling - Men, women, mixed Now we're talking... Bruce Mouat's men are probably gold medal favourites. They won silver at the last Olympics and are the reigning World Champions. A medal is very, very likely. Rebecca Morrison's women are ranked 19th in the world but won silver at November's European Championships. An Olympic medal would not be a shock but it would be a pleasant surprise Mouat/Dodds - mixed. Reigning silver medalists from the World Championships. They should contend with Italy and Canada for gold. Figure Skating - Team, Women, Pairs, Ice Dance Team - Won't be last, also will not reach final Women (Spours) - 20th to 30th Pairs - Improvement seems to have stalled compared to top teams - Top 10 would be a great finish Ice Dance - solid top 6 duo. A medal would have to rely on a perfect performance and possible mistakes by the opposition

She is the only Kenyan female skier that the FIS list

What's the betting that someone from Greenland will carry the Danish flag?
