Men’s Singles: Malaysia, Women’s Singles: Malaysia   Most of my predictions were made in combination of factors of performances in international competitions in 2025 as well as in the 2024 Olympics and the lastest SEA Games. Some sports that I don't have enough information to go by such as Judo or Wrestling has forced to make those predictions with a less than 50 percent certainty.  

About 2-3 months ago, I would have guess that Thailand's numbers would be nearer to 80 rather than 90 as their quality in major Olympic Sports (i.e. Athletics, Swimming, Shooting, Gymnastics) have declined over the past decade or so. According to my predictions, despite such struggles, Thailand's overall quality in other Olympic Sports is enough to paper through the cracks in the development of its Olympic sports program. It would be an embarassment to myself at least if Thailand is not able to win the gold medal count in either of the four major Olympic sports.   Singapore would finish second due to its enormous strength in swmming as well as improving in athletics, gymnastics and shooting. I wouldn't expect Vietnam to win only 47 Olympic events as it has dominated the Olympic events count for the past three editions, but their lack of adequate funding may explain the reason of their potential underperformance in these predictions.    Malaysia, Indonesia and Philippines all have lower numbers of expected Olympic events won in this year's edition as they are impacted by the number of Olympic events that was cut from the SEA Games, especially in gymnastics, cycling, canoeing and rowing.    If I have the time in the enxt week or so before the games begins, I will preview some of the key Olympic Sports hosted at Thailand with some highlights of interesting events and likely rising stars. And of course, at the end of the games, we will look back at how accurate my predictions are.

Now being updated again

so, as expected, no gold in the men's Kata and only 3 total medals 
 
luckily, the great Matteo Avanzini saved our ass, winning the most prestigious gold of them all and renovating the great tradition  has in the men's heavyweights after a few years of drought
 
being one of the only 4 Nations (tbh, it should be 3, as  only got it because they're the only serious player in Oceania) with people qualified to this World Champ final stage in every class should make us proud, but only one medal out of 10 kumite categories is definitely not acceptable, it must be named "disappointing"
 
more in general, it's confirmed the great variety of competitive Nations in this sport and how difficult is it to take a medal home, with only the Host Country  being capable of winning more than one gold medal and a good total of 28 Countries winning at least one medal out of "only" 12 competitions.

Limiting to 8 teams....is certainly a choice. Bizarre.

breve riassunto odierno (al netto del Gigante femminile, ancora da disputarsi)
 
Biathlon: grande argento della staffetta femminile, grazie soprattutto a una Vittozzi clamorosa e nonostante la solita Carrara al tiro
disastro Bionaz al maschile, che azzera ogni possibilità della squadra italiana, per 2 frazioni ottima e sempre tra le prime 3 e alla fine 6a grazie a una rimonta parziale di Giacomel in ultima frazione (più per errori altrui che meriti propri, in realtà)
 
Short Track: ottimo argento della staffetta femminile (a un soffio dal colpaccio contro la solita Olanda), amarezza, rimpianti e frustrazione nelle altre gare (Nadalini 4., bruciato all'ultima curva, nei 1500m e scandalosamente penalizzato in semifinale nei 500m; Sighel auto-eliminato dalla finale A per un grave errore tattico nei 1500m e buttato a terra da  Dubois -poi squalificato dopo aver tagliato il traguardo per primo- nella finale dei 500m; Confortola 5a nei 1000m femminili)
bene la staffetta maschile in finale (domani)
 
Fondo:

e ho detto tutto!
 
Slittino: inaugurata la pista di Cortina anche in versione slitte coi piedi davanti
5i e 7i Rieder/Kainzwaldner e Nagler/Malleier nel doppio maschile, ma incoraggiante il fatto che siano di fatto attaccati, a pochi millesimi, dall'argento (e a 3 decimi dall'oro dei crucchi Orlamunder/Gubitz); Rieder/Kainzwaldner erano anche secondi dopo la prima discesa
nel doppio femminile, promettente secondo posto di Voetter/Oberhofer a soli 5 centesimi dalle tedesche Eitberger/Matschina (e davanti di pochi millesimi alle austriache Egle/Kipp), positivo il fatto che tutte le altre coppie dal quarto posto in su ssono parecchio staccate
dominio tedesco (1a Fraebel, 2a Taubitz) nel singolo donne, 6a e 7a Verena Hofer e Sandra Robatscher, non così lontane dal 3. posto dell'austriaca Lisa Schulte
 
Bob: solo 16. Baumgartner a Innsbruck nella seconda gara di CdM del "2", giornata da dimenticare
 
Freestyle e Snowboard: vedi Fondo
 
Pattinaggio Velocità: inaugurata la pista di Milano con la CdM Juniores e Neo-Senior
sembra una pista di buona qualità, abbastanza veloce (1.10 per vincere i 1000m e 3.44 -di Riccardo Lorello- per primeggiare nei 3000m)
vedremo in quali condizioni sarà a febbraio

aggiornamento...
 
Karate
 
non era partito granchè bene il mondiale per gli azzurri, ma alla fine sembra che abbiamo raddrizzato un po' la situazione
 
abbiamo infatti conquistato 2 posti nelle finali per l'oro (Alessio Ghinami nel Kata maschile e Matteo Avanzini nei pesi massimi del Kumite maschile) e 3 in quelle per il bronzo (Silvia Semeraro e Michele Martina nelle rispettive categorie del Kumite, Terryana D'Onofrio nel Kata femminile)
 
dovessimo portare a casa l'oro di Avanzini (Ghinami difficilmente potrà lottare alla pari con il giapponese nella finale del Kata maschile, lo prendo per un argento quasi scontato, essendo una disciplina "giudicata") e i 3 bronzi, potremmo classificare questo mondiale come positivo

Judo
 
buon bronzo di Carlotta Avanzato nei -63kg femminili oggi ad Abu Dhabi, 7. posto per Fabrizio Esposito nei -73kg maschil
deludono Antonio Esposito e Bright Maddaloni Nosa nei -81kg
 
Vela
 
quarto posto della campionessa olimpica Marta Maggetti nella gara femminile agli Europei iQFoiL di Sferracavallo (Palermo)
delude invece Nicolò Renna al maschile
da segnalare anche il clamoroso 7. posto assoluto (argento Under-23) della 15enne Medea Falcioni al femminile e l'oro e il bronzo maschili Under-23 di Leonardo Tomasini (7. assoluto, miglior azzurro in gara) e Federico Alan Pillonì (9. assoluto)

E dopo l'accensione della fiaccola torniamo alla routine: infortunio alla caviglia per Roland Fischnaller.
 
Di questo passo, entro fine 2025 l'obiettivo passerà dalle 20 medaglie di Lillehammer alle 3 di Cortina '56.

Miracles happen in the final round of women's Round Robin!
 
Scotland and Norway qualify because in the mini-league of teams of four teams on 5&4, they had both won 2 matches, whereas Denmark and Turkey had only won one.  Then Scotland are ahead of Norway because they won that particular head-to-head.  
 
Italy the big losers, they give up 3 in the final end to the Czechs, which took them out of contention.

World Karate Federation Announces Extension of Agreement with Grup Mediapro and New YouTube Strategy
 
The World Karate Federation (WKF) has announced a significant evolution in its global media strategy, combining an expanded international TV distribution plan with a new approach to digital content on YouTube 
 
The initiative aims to strengthen the visibility of karate worldwide and meet the growing demand for accessible, high-quality sports content from younger and digitally engaged audiences.
 
To continue expanding the sport's significant reach, especially among younger audiences who form the core of Karate’s global following, the WKF will introduce a hybrid distribution system.
 
This approach mirrors the direction taken by other major sports organisations, including the International Olympic Committee.
 
The hybrid model allows broadcast television and digital platforms to coexist, offering fans more ways to follow their favourite athletes and events.
 
As a result of this strategy, the WKF will strengthen its presence on YouTube, where its channel, @WKFKarateWorldChamps, is already one of the most viewed and engaged platforms in the wider sports ecosystem.
 
Starting January 2026, all major WKF competitions will be completely available on the channel.
This includes Karate 1–Premier League, Karate 1–Series A, Karate 1–Youth League, World Cadet, Junior & U21 Championships, Karate World Cup, and the Qualification and final phases of the World Individual Championships.
 
By expanding its digital catalogue, the WKF aims to continue making @WKFKarateWorldChamps the leading global reference point for karate, offering fans a complete and easily accessible home for the sport’s most important competitions.
 
WKF President Antonio Espinós said: “The tremendous popularity of karate around the world confirms that the WKF is a modern organisation that continues to adapt its vision to the times and continues to maximise the outstanding values and legacy of the sport.
With this strategy, we not only continue to reach new audiences but also extend the impressive following that karate already has among young people even more. Our goal is to serve the global karate community with the best possible viewing experience, across both traditional and digital platforms.”
 
Extension of Strategic Agreement with Grup Mediapro
 
The WKF and Grup Mediapro have confirmed the extension of their collaboration agreement for the 2026–2027 cycle.
 
This follows the successful partnership launched in 2023 to elevate WKF’s premier events during the 2024–2025 period.
 
With the new extension, Grup Mediapro will continue to manage audiovisual production, content creation, and live coverage of the WKF’s main events across the next two years.
 
Ongoing Global TV Distribution
 
Building on this agreement, the WKF will maintain the distribution of medal bouts from its major events through established television networks around the world.
 
WKF competitions are currently broadcast in 30 key territories.
These include Australia, through Fox; Italy, via Rai and Sky; and the MENA region, through SNRT, among others.
 
This continued presence on leading broadcast platforms ensures that karate remains accessible to traditional viewers and reinforces the sport’s position in developed TV markets.
 
With the extension of its partnership with Grup Mediapro, the continuation of global TV coverage, the launch of a hybrid media model, and the expansion of full-event access on YouTube, the WKF is reinforcing its commitment to innovation and global fan engagement.

What shame, this is disgusting

IJF reinstated russians and return their flag and anthem to the international tournaments.
No AINs in judo anymore.
And it means no Ukrainian judokas at the competitions were russians are present anymore.

Calcio
 
svanisce in semifinale il sogno della nazionale maschile under 17.
 
l'Austria domina e vince 2-0, guadagnandosi così il privilegio di giocare la finale di giovedì alle 17 italiane contro il Portogallo, che, dopo lo 0-0 dei 90 minuti regolamentari, supera il Brasile 6-5 ai rigori.
 
sempre giovedì (13.30 italiane), gli azzurrini affronteranno il Brasile nella finele per il 3. posto.
 
Ginnastica
 
si chiudono i mondiali juniores con diversi buoni risultati per i colori italiani.
 
su tutti, i 2 argenti (anelli e corpo libero) di Simone Speranza, anche quinto nel concorso generale e sesto al volteggio.
sempre al volteggio sono arrivati anche il quarto posto di Mia Proietti al femminile e il quinto di Riccardo Ruggeri al maschile.
completano il bottino i discreti piazzamenti nel concorso generale degli stessi Proietti e Ruggeri, nonchè di Eleonora Calaciura (anche quinta al corpo libero).
 
Basket
 
finalmente stasera si stappa quello buono! (444,90€ a boccia all'esselunga )
 

 
tifosi dell'Olimpia, esultiamo tutti insieme!
 
il bollito si è dimesso, grazie Signore di aver ascoltato il nostro grido di dolore!

French media are reporting the Organizing Committee will submit Cyclocross, Cross Country, Trail running and Gravel for inclusion 
 
(Not sure if actual winter sports will also be put forward)

def.  35-0 in men's hockey.
 
I'm pretty sure that's close to a world record score. I remember scores like that in 5s or indoor but not in outdoor.

Olympedia update.
The IOC did pull out of the deal because of "budget reasons" but we compromised by accepting less money and just updating 2024 and not Milan-Cortina for the time being.
The result is that the contract was signed this week and we just need to transfer our private data to Olympedia and then it will be back up to date.
Unfortunately not all our members were happy with the IOC's behavior and some may leave us because of this.

Hmm, we don't seem to have an Athletes Unretirements Thread......
