Oh, I really hope to do the same. Paris 2024, hopefully.

I have picked Calgary 1988 because that was the very first olympics (summer or winter) I have watched, staying home with a broken leg as a kid due to a crazy skiing accident, and I have been totally hooked since :-)

@Topicmaster1010 a good result for Erin Mielzynski would be nice, she has a family in Poland, they have a fancy restaurant in Warsaw.

One medal will be ok this time. Ski jumping - they are very weak this season, so I don't have any hopes. But a chance for a medal is in W 500m short track speed skating (Maliszewska). Biggest fun for me would be a medal in alpine skiing (W GS) by Maryna Gąsienica-Daniel but 5th or 6th place is more realistic, she is a contender but she hasn't been in top3 in the world cup yet. Lately we had a win in Snowboard parallel GS world cup by Aleksandra Król, so this may be a surprise medal. A medal in any other event would be a very big surprise for me. But you never know, maybe speed skating, maybe women's biathlon (Monika Hojnisz)... Who would have predicted a gold for Poland in 50km race walk in Tokyo, heh?

And as always - when Canada is involved in sports, my favourite sports arcticle of all time comes to my mind. Enjoy, if some of you haven't read it yet. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2016/jul/27/canada-summer-olympics-lack-of-medals-reasons

Btw, in PyeongChang it was CAN 29 - USA 23

How many gold medals for the (former???) winter sports powerhouse???

Snowboard? Why not, we'll take it ;-) That would be our first olympic medal in this sport. The thing is we could've already had a snowboard medal in SLC 2002 but Jagna Marczułajtis has finished just short in 4th place in this fancy red suit ;-)

I'm not sure, too. But I just like the guy and I'm waiting for a breakthrough.

"So with the news that Novak Djokovic has been kicked out of Australia for not being vaccinated, are all the F1 drivers and team personnel vaccinated and if not will they be allowed in to the country for the GP ? If there is one at all." Found it on Facebook. Good question.

And Lara Gut will be there as well!!!

If I could have one wish for Beijing olympics, it would be a medal for Maryna in GS. I know, she has never got a podium in the world cup but anything can happen... 😉

Men's Team Poland for Beijing Kamil Stoch, Piotr Żyła, Dawid Kubacki, Paweł Wąsek, Stefan Hula No chance for a medal this time, I'm afraid

My early predictions: from QFs M Sonego - Carreno Busta Zverev - Karatsev Sinner - Tsitsipas Auger-Aliassime - Medvedev Carreno Busta - Zverev Tsitsipas - Medvedev Zverev - Tsitsipas ZVEREV W Barty - Sakkari Azarenka - Badosa Rybakina - Halep Świątek - Sabalenka Barty - Badosa Halep - Sabalenka Barty - Halep BARTY

Poor Liechtenstein - 18 votes from 18 voters... But yes, without Tina Weirather they don't have any serious chances sadly.

@Fly_like_a_don How could you not believe in Polish atheletes? ;-))) I'm joking ofc, I'm afraid you may be 100% right here. But I still hope for a one medal for Poland. Anyway, thanks for your Road to Tokyo 2020 Polls last year, that was obviously an inspiration for me. Greetings from Poland!

Not this year, I'm afraid. They jump backwards this season. But I hope I am wrong here, ofc.

Team Poland for Beijing 2022: W - Anna Mąka, Monika Hojnisz-Staręga, Kamila Żuk, Kinga Zbylut M - Grzegorz Guzik
