Man to watch next few seasons: Fabian Ax Swartz Mind my words 🤪

You forgot Marcel van deer Hirscher 😎

Do we know when a list of LA 28 events wil be announced?

Day 1 events are: 1. SPEED SKATING - W 3000m 2. SNOWBOARD - M Big Air 3. ALPINE SKIING - M Downhill !!!!!!!!!!!!! :-) 4. SKI JUMPING - W Normal Hill Individual 5. CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING - W 10km + 10km Skiathlon

Not much is going on here on totallympics these days so i hope this thread will change it a bit. Or not, whatever. Even if i know these predictions are way too early.

Well, if we talk about 2026 early predictions one thing seems to be quite certain. Here in Poland many say Paris 2024 was bad for us - only 1 gold, only 10 medals in total. But in 2026 we will be saying - Paris 2024, well, those were the days... Because there is a very tiny chance we will get any single winter medal in 26. And remember - in Sochi 2014 we had 4 golds (!), even one in speed skating of all the sports lol 6 medals in total there, wow. And none of our medalists was involved in a doping scandal there... In 2026 i think we won't have any medal or we will get a very lucky one medal in a random event, I wonder if 2024/2025 winter season will change my opinion here but i doubt it. But Maybe in LA 2028 we will get more than 1 gold heh

2026 Winter Olympics - Very Early Predictions Thread

Agree. That is why Natalia Kaczmarek is top 4 for me. No olympic gold but still a medal in historic athletics running event

But she totally failed at the Olympics . And it’s more important to me.

And who would you choose?

Any chance for An early 2026 Olympics predictions thread ? Just for the fun of it cause i know it’s way too early but why not

Are there any nominees in your countries yet?

Early thoughts: i will vote for one of Aleksandra Mirosław (the one and only gold in Paris), Wilfredo Leon (best player in our volleyball team in Paris), Iga Świątek (another RG win but only Bronze in the Olympics) or Natalia Bukowiecka nee Kaczmarek ( the most valuable individual medal in Paris for me)

Nominees for an athlete of the year in Poland That was quite an effort to find 25 (!) nominees in such a bad year

Thanks for the info! I will buy it for sure. I already have two German Paris 2024 books, very good ones.

First gold for CHN here in W foil. Although in sports like fencing or wrestling it's hard to compare LA 84 olympic medalists to the Friendship Games medalists.
