Subject: 2010 Vancouver Olympic Winter Games
How many medals do you expect your country to get?
I'm hoping for:
2 from nordic combined
1 from ski jumping
6 from cross country skiing
1 from alpine skiing
1 from snowboarding
2 from ice hockey
So that makes 13 medals, and hopefully some of them golden ones.. :)

Estonia will be satisfied with one medal - I think our only real chance is Kristina Smigun. Veerpalu neither Mae won`t get a medal this time, 50km mass start isn`t their distance. I think after those 3 quit in near future, then our cross-country skiing is dead. We do not have decent younger athletes. Maybe always young Aivar Rehemaa who is around 27 starts to ski better, I doubt it. Besides cross-country skiing is boring, it´s as fun as watching long distance running in Summer Olympics...Biathlon is much more cooler.
Nordic combined - we have actually some decent athletes here. They can jump and they have proved they can. However you have to ski aswell, they suck at it. But boys are only around 20 and younger, hopefully some of them will be regular top 30 in future. I am sure they make it.
Our Ski-jumping is dead. Martin Höllwarth was here our NT coach for a year or so, but I have read our ski jumpers just were not ready for that. Too much dieting etc..
And we have only one K-90 hill here, which was built few years ago. Too little, but should be enough for ten year olds:)
No alpine skiing here unfortunately, however one Estonian kid won a competition one day in Finland:) I just read 2 Estonians will participate in Vancouver. If they won`t fall during the track like they always do, then they can be satisfied:)
Snowboarders? maybe one woman in cross...
Ice-Hockey, never....seems like too expensive for Estonians. Ice pays a lot here, therefor not enough kids in the training groups and too little training.

0. Perhaps one in curling if we're lucky. The only medal Denmark has ever won in the Winter Olympics was in Nagano 1998 in women's curling.
I'm hoping for:
2 from nordic combined
1 from ski jumping
6 from cross country skiing
1 from alpine skiing
1 from snowboarding
2 from ice hockey
No way, Petra Majdic and Kovalchuk will take all medals . Kaisa and Virpi can only take 2 bronze medals

I hope we will improve the 9 medals last winter olympics, but we only have speedskating competitors :P.
we might actually get 2 and beat last times 1 :)
we're getting quite good at the going down ramps on whatever you can find things. Kristian Bromley i think is one name, Shelley Rudman who got one last time and there's a doubles team that are world no.1 or something, but the womans just come back after being blind for a couple of weeks.
