you cant be that fun to read! you re raising the bar too high for the others

And is it personal qualifications for them in figure skating or is it just for AIN team and we don’t know the exact athletes yet?

I wonder if a medal or two for them in figure skating is possible . What are their biggest medal chances anyway? I guess figure skating

And here goes the same question - each and every season... Where is this website with the top times of the season in each event? I keep on losing it in the summer... @CCB

2025-2026 Olympic Season just around the corner. @brunamoura @heywoodu please keep us updating on your olympic journey! Your Fan-Club (your psycho-fans actually lol) are waiting for some info...

Oh that’s a tough cookie. But we will keep on digging for you… it won’t be easy to find though. Anyway, welcome to the forum! We would love to have an active user here. We are missing one… some inside-PUR-sport-info always welcome!!!

Coming up next: Artistic Gymnastics, Cycling Track, Taekwondo… busy week for the stats-nerds lol.

Another big problem in my simulation is TENNIS. I want to avoid using "the rankings" as the main factor in my predictions for any event. I want to add the results of certain championships/ world cups / the main event of the year 2025 (like Masters in M Golf) in every sport... And i don't know what to do with tennis - whether to wait for ATP/WTA Finals or to use 2025 US Open results maybe (cause the olympics will be in US and they play on hard courts..)... no Wimbledon here sadly, even if many consider it the tennis event of the year and that would be gold for Poland this year heh… but it’s on grass and there won’t play on grass in LA so… And what to do with Mixed Doubles then??? Maybe i'd like to use US Open for this event, because it was probably the same format we will have in LA... No medal for Iga Świątek here either though because she played with Casper Ruud in NY and i exclude multi-NOC pairs (like W Doubles Table Tennis 2025 WCH medalists from Romania & Austria)... The one thing i surely won't use is the final 2025 December 31st ATP/WTA rankings because i want to use the rankings only to break the ties... And then EQUESTRIAN - even bigger problem. What are (what were) the main competitions in 2025 for every event - team and individual??? @dcro maybe You could help here... And then team's events in ARTISTIC GYMNASTICS... ARTISTIC SWIMMING... RHYTHMIC GYMNASTICS Group Competition... Women's FOOTBALL... All these new LA team sports... - LACROSSE, CRICKET, FLAG FOOTBALL, BASEBALL, SOFTBALL... And HOCKEY... And - last but not least - my beloved Men's BASKETBALL. No good solution here at all. The first thought is US with gold as a lock somehow and then GER and TUR as EuroBasket finalists but obviously it's not the best solution of all... quite controversial actually.

I have counted 4 weight categories so far. M +110kg, M 110kg, W +86kg, W 86kg. I think those four are sure. I mean - there has to be a superheavy "open" weight category in both genders... and one category below that for each gender as well... But all the rest is a mess for me. @erw had some good ideas for it here though (I mean - which weight categories will be there in LA). I wonder if @MHSN would like to share his thoughts on it with us as well...

257 events. M Football added - 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup results added. I think this years's FIFA U-20 WC results may be interesting predictions for LA. And this little trick brings my beloved ARGENTINA to the 2025 medal table finally!

Ok. Glad we're not doing the same work twice here. Our medal tables will be different then, but it's good actually.

@Ogreman @Wumo any chance for 25-26 NBA predictions? Sth similar to what you did 2 years ago… https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/20708-mens-basketball-nba-2023-2024/#findComment-590932 https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/20708-mens-basketball-nba-2023-2024/#findComment-591227

I think 2025 Christmas Time may be a good time to deliver the final simulation/predictions of 2026 Winter Olympics. Stay tuned then!!! Work in progress…

I wonder if it’s a good idea to add results of the recent FIFA U-20 Men’s World Cup to the 2025 medal table. It is U-20 in 2025 and it will be U-23 in 2028, in 3 years time. Some of these athletes may be the key players in LA. I think i will add this event to my LA simulation… at least for now.

Once upon a time there was a certain olympic final https://youtu.be/fAADWfJO2qM?si=UDsiVhH3ApOzleAR

And 313. VOLLEYBALL - W Tournament - hosts - 2026 European Champions - 2026 Asian Champions - 2026 African Champions - 2026 South American Champions - 2026 North American Champions - 2027 World Championship - 2027 World Championship - 2027 World Championship - World Ranking - World Ranking - World Ranking

Let's start with: 312. VOLLEYBALL - M Tournament I don't think there's an official qualifying system announced yet but rumours say it will be like that: (quali system with my predictions) - hosts - 2026 European Champions - 2026 Asian Champions - 2026 African Champions - 2026 South American Champions - 2026 North American Champions - 2027 World Championship - 2027 World Championship - 2027 World Championship - World Ranking - World Ranking - World Ranking

256 events now. Added: TRIATHLON - M Individual, W Individual

Enjoy!!! Lucky you , to be there. 😁

There's also intense, almost sporting competition here. The Chopin Competition finals are currently underway; many consider it the most prestigious competition for young pianists in the world. I highly recommend it; in my opinion, the excitement is greater than at Eurovision. LOL https://www.youtube.com/@chopininstitute/videos https://www.chopincompetition.pl/en?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22895482769&gclid=Cj0KCQjw9czHBhCyARIsAFZlN8QJ8lueWz0Rtd2P-1MgdGTtOuPBuDAr6BoG-K7xZ_o2XDplXQ51QM4aAlCsEALw_wcB @Werloc

Do we already know the qualification systems in any sport?

Stay tuned! A lot will happen in this thread unless I get bored with it. Or I don't have time to update it.
