intoronto Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 Tomorrow has the potential to be a very good day. Women's hockey and curling finals. Men's ski cross and women's freestyle halfpipe.
LoveMyRaps Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 What are people's medal predictions for tomorrow?
dave199 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 All 3 of our entries in men's ski cross have been on the World Cup podium this season. Here's hoping for a sweep. David Duncan looks to be the gold medal favourite. Plus we have a gold metal favourite in women's ski half pipe. It looks like tomorrow will be a big day if things go as they should. I'm thinking it will be a 4-6 medal day. 4 being more likely
SkiFreak Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 Just pray for no crashes in the ski cross, but... that's what makes it exciting.
intoronto Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 Two medals (gold or silver) are guaranteed tomorrow. Two up to four more is possible.
LoveMyRaps Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 If we crash in the ski cross I'll cry. We better win at least two medals in ski cross tomorrow. @dave199 Hmm we definitely do not have a gold medal favorite in women's snowboarding halfpipe. We're not expected to any medals in that, but anything can happen.

We're not expected to any medals in that, but anything can happen. It's ski Halfpipe tomorrow and we do do have a gold favourite in Rosalind Groenewoud
intoronto Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 It's ski Halfpipe tomorrow and we do do have a gold favourite in Rosalind Groenewoud Two years ago she had the highest score in women's halfpipe at the x games. She won silver at the 2014 X games. She should medal.
LoveMyRaps Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 Okee dokee I guess I was wrong. I was just looking at Associated Press and Bleacher Report predictions. Didnt see any mention of any Canadian favorite.
JLishere Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 Two years ago she had the highest score in women's halfpipe at the x games. She won silver at the 2014 X games. She should medal. I don't know. These freestyle skiing / snowboard events are so unpredictable. Canada had a lot of X Games medalists in Sochi: Kaya Turski, Seb Toutant, Max Parrot, Spencer O'Brien, Kevin Hill - none of them got a podium. A lot of pressure on Rosalind Groenewoud for women's ski halfpipe and Chris Del Bosco for men's ski cross.
Faster Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 Hope Roz can bring it home for Sarah Burke
JLishere Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 Still sad about Sarah Burke passing away two years ago.
Faster Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 Tough break for Canada in men's ski cross, draw has all 3 Canadians on one side of the draw. Though in a lovely irony the 3 2013 world championship medalist are all in the same 1/8
krow Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 can you link me to the draw or did you see it on tv?

Faster Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 Dave Duncan, the top Canadian is out. As are a lot of favourites so far. And now Chris del Bosco, the top qualifier is also out. So a medal is only left for Brady Leman.

Faster Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 Out of the top 10 contenders for a medal, only 3 or 4 are left standing. A French sweep is still possible. Canada got another great victory today. A new member of the Athlete's Commission in Hayley Wickenheiser.
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 3 French and one Canadian! haha
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 Looks like Belle got her wish and the Canadian fell down and the French sweep the mens ski cross!
Fox334 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 Second Olympics in a row where a Canadian is fourth in men's ski cross. Tough for the Canadian team.
krow Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 Looks like Belle got her wish and the Canadian fell down and the French sweep the mens ski cross! that was one costly shoulder tap canada. i need to start following this sport in the off years.
