All 3 of your Canadian divers were amazing too.
 
And to think the Top 3 all surpassed the score that clinched the Gold in 2018, and with a few faults.

Several years ago the predictions used to get unhidden once the competition started, is this not possible any more with the new forum?

Not having seen your predictions, so not completely sure, but remember you only get 2 points per match for a win, so that means the minimum you get for 3 correct results would be 6 

I know its still early days, but it be nice for the duck to be broken and the UK to win their first ever medal, new or old site contests!

As an actual English man, it was a penalty, yes

Well done to all medalists and admins, for all the hard work and keeping us all up to date everyday!
 
Hopefully after this string start. We can continue to build and have the prediction contests back to how it was on the old site, in the run up to Tokyo.
 
Im overall pleased with about a mid table postion in most. Pleased to have a top 10 in Ice Hockey, but gutted I may have been in contention for the bronze had I not missed the first men’s 1/4s match.
 
And after a fantastic but shocked first week of the Nordic, where I was right at the top of the pack, a shocking last week meant the title didn’t go to someone with absolutely no knowledge!!
 
Roll on seeing the general standings and the next contest.

and I'm sure I read somewhere during the off season, that people would be happy with results after the completion of each round, as each day can be a bit too much.

The following would be the calender I'd suggest, based on previous prediction contests and to which is broad in terms of sports and continents

With the new year fast approaching, I was wondering/hoping if we were bringing back the contest again for 2017?
 
I have had a look at the sporting calender to try and have come up with a potential schedule of 16 events, of which host a fair variety of disciplines and continents and to have coverage throughout the year.

And we have only gone and done it!
 
Roll on the task of overhauling the Americans in Tokyo
 
The Greatest Team GB Ever.
