Wrap-Up Post #15
And finally, long track speed skating, usually a bastion of Dutch dominance at the Winter Games. (Spoilers: Yeah. Still true.)Speed Skating
Country G S B Netherlands 6 2 4 Japan 3 5 2 Canada 1 3 5 Germany 1 1 1 Italy 1 0 2 USA 0 1 2 South Korea 0 1 1 Norway 1 0 0 China 1 0 0 Poland 0 1 0 Overview
The Dutch won big in a number of events. No surprise there, really. The Japanese team finished solidly in 2nd, however, which wasn't a given. Canada was a hard-luck third, managing 5 separate bronze medals. Disappointed by their performance were South Korea and host China, as the Koreans won no golds and the Chinese got just 1 on home ice.
Multiple Medalists
Milan de Graaf (Netherlands)- 1 Gold, 1 Silver, 1 Bronze
Lucas de Groot (Netherlands)- 1 Gold, 1 Silver
Aoi Kato (Japan)- 2 Silvers
Abigail Chan (Canada)- 1 Silver, 1 Bronze
Nathan Jackson (Canada)- 2 Bronzes
Emily Morris (Canada)- 2 BronzesBig Events
That home ice surely pushed Ma Feng to an unexpected Gold for China, and the fast heat brought Jakub Kaminski of Poland along for a surprising silver. The other big surprises came from Italy (yes, again!) and Norway's Melissa Nilsen.
It is a bit surprising that there were no double gold medalists in these games; Milan de Graaf of the Netherlands came closest.

Snowboarding has become one of the marquee sports of the Olympics games throughout the world...how did the competition go down? Let's take a look!Snowboarding
Country G S B USA 2 2 4 Japan 2 3 0 Switzerland 2 1 1 Canada 2 1 1 Australia 1 1 2 Italy 2 0 1 Finland 0 1 0 Germany 0 1 0 Spain 0 1 0 Russia 0 0 1 Czech Republic 0 0 1 Overview
Snowboarding truly is a worldwide sport now. Look at the range of medal-winning countries: N. America is heavily represented, but Australia was able to get medals for the Southern Hemisphere. There are plenty of European medals, but also Asian medals heading to Japan. And, quite notably, there is even a medal going (much like real-life) to Spain.
Multiple Medalists
Madison Clark (USA)- 1 Gold, 1 SilverBig Events
Snowboarding was another area where Italy overperformed, as Gold Medalist Gabriele Lombardi and Bronze medalist Chiara Conti, and Gold Medalist Roberta De Luca weren't expected to be anywhere NEAR the podium.
Neither was Australian Ben Torres, who entered the competition ranked 62nd in the world but won bronze. -

It's skiing; it's jumping; it's ski jumping!Ski Jumping
Country G S B Norway 1 1 1 Austria 1 0 2 Germany 1 1 0 Russia 1 1 0 Slovenia 1 0 1 Japan 0 1 0 Italy 0 1 0 France 0 0 1 Overview
No one country was dominant in ski jumping at this year's games. There were 5 events, and 5 different countries won gold medals. Norway at least won a trio of medals (one of each), and Austria had 3 medals, but in general, this competition was fairly balanced among the top countries.Multiple Medalists
Lucas Schneider (Germany)- 1 Gold, 1 Silver
Jonas Olsen (Norway) 1 Gold, 1 Bronze
Ema Korosec (Slovenia)- 1 Gold, 1 Bronze
Charlotte Wetl (Austria)- 1 Gold, 1 Bronze
Lukas Rudhart (Austria)- 1 Gold, 1 BronzeBig Events
France's Arthur Morel had the jumps of his life to work his way up to a bronze medal after entering the games as the 51st ranked jumper in the world
Italy's men's team won a silver medal, which was definitely a big surprise; maybe they can repeat in 2026?
Every multiple medalist got there via the team events; there were no repeat medalists between the men's normal hill and the men's large hill competitions -

Skeleton: The OTHER sliding sportSkeleton
Country G S B Canada 1 1 0 Russia 0 1 1 Great Britain 1 0 0 Germany 0 0 1 Overview
Skeleton is one of the simplest and smallest sports in the games. There's a men's event and a women's event. And that's it. Many of the usual suspects in the sliding sports were present here. Canada, Russia, and Germany all won medals, as did Great Britain (which is strong in skeleton in real life, though not luge or biathlon)Big Events
Canada was ranked #1 and #2 in the women's event, and finished that way as well (albeit in the opposite order as expected)
Siblings Alexsandr and Arina Popov of Russia both medaled
Great Britain, meanwhile, was thrilled to get a gold with Jamie Thompson -

Short Track Speed Skating is one of the most chaotic of all Winter Games sports....so was there also chaos in the medal tables?Short Track Speed Skating
Country G S B Canada 3 3 0 South Korea 2 2 2 Italy 0 2 3 China 2 0 1 Great Britain 1 1 1 Netherlands 1 0 1 Russia 0 1 0 Hungary 0 0 1 Overview
South Korea is traditionally the powerhouse in this sport. They did tie for the most medals, with 6, but it's hard to argue that they were the most successful nation at these games, as that honor clearly goes to Canada. The Canadians had multiple athletes who won Gold medals, aided by their success in the mixed team relay. (They also won a pair of individual events) Meanwhile, Emma Moretti was one of just a few athletes (and the only one, we think, outside of cross-country skiing) to win 4 medals in these games, though she didn't get a gold medal. Lan Cai got lots of adoration from the home Chinese crowd for winning two gold medals.Multiple Medalists
Emma Moretti (Italy -2 Silvers, 2 Bronzes
Cameron Martin (Canada - 2 Golds, 1 Silver
Seo-jun Woo (South Korea)- 1 Gold, 1 Silver, 1 Bronze
Gordon Hill (Canada - 3 Silvers
Laura Bruno (Italy - 1 Silver, 2 Bronzes
Olivia Tremblay (Canada)- 2 Golds
Lan Cai (China) - 2 Golds
Yunseo Kwan (South Korea)- 1 Gold, 1 Silver
Joshua Johnson (Great Britain)- 1 Gold, 1 Bronze
Ji-ho Ji (South Korea)- 2 BronzesBig Events
One of the bigger surprises was South Korea's failure to medal in the mixed team event. Both the men's and women's teams won medals (though neither gold), and Yunseo Kwon and Seo-jun Woo, respectively the women's and men's #1 ranked skaters got individual gold medals. But the mixed team, which was highly favored, somehow came up short.
Britain's Joshua Johnson came into the games ranked 25th in the world, but managed to get not one, but TWO individual medals, defying the expectations -

Nordic Combined is the unique event that asks competitors to both ski jump and cross-country ski. Let's see how it went!Nordic Combined
Country G S B Germany 2 1 1 France 1 2 1 Norway 0 0 1 Overview
Nordic Combined was basically a battle between France and Germany, but what is most interesting is the depth of both teams. 3 of the 4 members of the French team won individual medals in addition to the team silver, while Germany had two different individual medalists, including Luca Weber, who medaled in all 3 events and won a complete set of the medals.Multiple Medalists
Luca Weber (Germany)- 1 Gold, 1 Silver, 1 Bronze
Luca Schulz (Germany)- 2 Golds
Gilles Robert (France) - 1 Gold, 1 Silver
Maxime_Andrè (France)- 2 Silvers
Charles Joubert (France)- 1 Silver, 1 BronzeBig Events
Nordic Combined had a shocking # of multiple medalists for having had only 3 events, but that's what happens when all of the individual medalists are German or French -

Luge- More fun than you can shake a sled atLuge
Country G S B Germany 3 2 0 USA 0 1 1 Italy 0 0 2 Latvia 1 0 0 Canada 0 1 0 Slovakia 0 0 1 Overview
It's a sliding sport, so Germany was dominant. That's not exactly a surprise, though. What is interesting is that all 4 events were won by the top-ranked athlete in the sport.Multiple Medalists
Elias Schmidt (Germany - 2 Golds
Alexander Weber and Elias Schulz (Germany- 2 Golds)Big Events
Germany nearly swept the podium in Men's Singles, which happened in multiple different sliding sports
Italy got a surprise medal in Women's singles (though they have had plenty of luge success in the past)
Slovakia, however? That's a truly spectacular and truly surprising development -

I'll just say this. Hockey and the other team events are still getting some unusual results that I need to work on.....Big Events
Austria and Germany and Norway were ALL big surprises in hockey, as none of those countries have much of a background in hockey
Finland, meanwhile, will be delighted to have won medals in both tournaments
Missing the medals entirely were USA, Canada, AND Russia -

The sport of freestyle skiing has many subdisciplines, from aerials to ski cross to park and pipe events, so there were a LOT of different medalists in freeski. Let's take a look!Freestyle Skiing
Country G S B USA 4 1 3 Russia 2 3 0 Switzerland 2 1 1 Great Britain 0 2 2 Canada 1 2 0 Japan 1 1 1 China 1 0 2 Belarus 1 0 1 France 0 2 0 Austria 0 0 2 New Zealand 1 0 0 Finland 0 1 0 Norway 0 0 1 Overview
13 different countries won medals, which might be the biggest spread for any sport in the games. The US is clearly king of the mountain, but Russia also did well on the basis of a strong aerials team, and Belarus (which won very few medals overall) did well here.Multiple Medalists
Linda Martinez (USA) - 2 Golds
Matthew Morales (USA) - 1 Gold, 1 Silver
Aleksandr Petrov (Russia)- 1 Gold, 1 Silver
Yelizabeta Kuznetsov (Belarus) - 1 Gold, 1 Bronze
Yun Young (China)- 1 Gold, 1 Bronze
Natalia Novikov (Russia)- 2 Silvers
Jade Wilson (Great Britain) - 1 Silver, 1 BronzeBig Events
Must be something about being named Jade? Jade Evans of Great Britain won multiple medals in curling, while Jade Wilson won multiple medals in freestyle skiing
Oscar Voss was a surprise win to give New Zealand a historic gold medal -

The world's newest ice princess is Japan's Saori Nakagawa, who won dual gold medal in Ladies' Singles and the team event. Canada also won two gold medals, while the USA won an event as wellMultiple Medalists
Saori Nakagawa (Japan)- 2 Golds
Ethan Wood & Leah Bailey (USA)- 1 Gold and 1 Bronze
Frank MacKinley (Canada)- 1 Silver and 1 Bronze
Aiden Diaz & Maria Lopez (USA)- 2 bronzes
Madison Campbell (USA)- 2 bronzesBig Events
Russia's skaters struggled, winning just a single medal during the games. (MUCH different than real life)
Italy, one the other hand, had two shocks, winning a silver medal in Men's Singles AND in Ice Dance
Top-ranked skaters struggled a bit, with only US Ice Dance winning the expected gold medal. (In fact, the top rated women and pairs skaters didn't even medal!) -

Curling in the house! (I swear, that's funny if you know curling)Curling
Country G S B Switzerland 1 1 0 Great Britain 1 0 1 USA 1 0 1 Russia 0 1 0 Norway 0 1 0 Sweden 0 0 1 Overview
Curling provided a lot of different results throughout the week, and things seemed very balanced throughout the different teams. Great Britain and the USA had multiple medalists, as both medaled in mixed doubles and women's. (Britain won the mixed doubles and USA won the women's). Switzerland, meanwhile, was technically the most successful nation as they won the men's tournament and finished as a runner-up in the women's tourney.Multiple Medalists
Jade Evans (Great Britain)- Gold and Bronze
Madison Mitchell (USA) - Gold and Bronze -

LOTS of individual stars in cross-country skiing at these games, and there were 4 athletes who each won 4 medals. In the cases of Joshua Rogers of the USA and Emma Neumann of Switzerland, they had a hand in every single medal for their country in cross-country skiing. It was a great games for Cross-Country skiing!Multiple Medalists

It's Bobsleigh time!Bobsleigh
Country G S B Germany 3 1 2 Canada 0 2 1 Russia 1 1 0 Switzerland 0 0 1 Overview
The bobsleigh competitions were remarkably consistent, as both the 2-man and 4-man bobsleigh events ended the same way: Elias Wagner of Germany in first, Logan Anderson of Canada in second, and David Meyer of Germany in 3rd. The only variability happened in the women's events, where Russia's Yekaterina Solovyov prevented the Germans from sweeping the Bobsleigh Gold medals.Multiple Medalists
Elias Wagner (Germany)- 2 Golds
Paul Meyer (Germany)- 2 Golds
Logan Anderson (Canada)- 2 Silvers
Patrice Li (Canada)- 2 Silvers
Alexander Fischer (Germany)- 1 Gold and 1 Bronze
David Meyer (Germany)- 2 BronzesBig Events
Germany's Alexander Fischer was the only athlete whose two medals were different from each other, owing to the fact that he was a brakeman on Elias Wagner's 4-man team but David Meyer's 2-man team. -

Surprises always abound in the sport of Biathlon anyways, and this week was no different than normal, with Czech Republic leading the way on the medal count (the only sport in which they did so). Biathlon was also the best sport for Ukraine and Latvia, while Norway had a rough week (at least compared to real life, where the Norwegians won 14 medals).Multiple Medalists

Austria and Switzerland, as would be expected, battled for supremacy on the mountain. Austria came out on top, thanks in large part to Andreas Leuger, a multiple medalist, and a deep team that competed hard throughout the games. Italy and Slovenia had great games as well, while Canada's Lucas Wilson was a master of the speed events, winning a gold and silver. Russia was a surprise medalist, while Sweden got both their medals in the same event.Multiple Medalists
Andreas Leuger (Austria) - 2 Golds and 1 Silver

Prologue
"Greenland is Ice, but Iceland is Nice"
-D2: The Mighty Ducks
I sat down, in my new office, and took a long hard look around. Iceland was indeed as beautiful as had been promised to me. Beautiful cities, beautiful scenery, beautiful buildings....the works. Beautiful office, too, come to think of it, tucked into a small corner of a large, imposing building in Reykjavik. I had been in the country for a few days, seeing the sights, but now it was time to get down to work. And this was going to be a lot of work, make no doubt about it. The 2022 Winter Games had just ended, but 2026 is never far away when you're doing this kind of work.Oh. Pardon me- I haven't introduced myself yet. They call me Jeffrey Dalesson. It's not actually my name, but I've learned that they do names a little differently around here. I've been hired by the Icelandic Athletic Committee to develop Iceland's High-Performance Winter Sports Program. The goal is simple, really: we want to win a Winter Games medal for Iceland. You'd think a place named "Iceland" would be good at winter sports, right? Well, no, it turns out that's not true. Never had a winter games medal before.
But we're going to change that. We- not me. I've got lots of passion for this job, and lots of skills, too, but this isn't just my battle. I'm also tapping into the power of social media to get people from all around the world interested in Icelandic winter sports. My hope is that you will follow along and help out, too. We can ALL make Iceland very, very nice indeed.
So come along for the ride, and let's get to work!
-END Prologue-
What is this dynasty, and how is it "interactive"? Well, I want to continue making my game, Going for Gold, better, and I love the Winter Games a LOT. So, I want to keep engaging with the sport sim community by presenting a winter sports dynasty using my game. It will help keep me working on regular development and give me a chance to share that development with others. It will also give me a chance to make a unique "dynasty" to share and allow others to play along, whether or not they have a copy of my game. (Though, given that it's currently free...well, just message me and I'll be glad to get you a download link!)Speaking of which, let's talk about the "interactive" part. It's pretty simple. Any time you make a comment on this thread, you get a dynasty point. You can bank and build up as many dynasty points as you want! Then, you will be able to spend those dynasty points at certain times in each season to influence Iceland's budget decisions. You can give money to favorite athletes or favorite programs, help Iceland build better facilities, or fund youth development efforts.
I plan to update once a week, and I hope that you will get a chance to enjoy it!

Feb. 20th- The final day
Here's the final day of the games....let's see what happened for the final 4 gold medals.First was 4-man Bobsleigh. Germany, in a result that will surprise nobody, took 1st, 3rd, and 4th, while Canada squeezed their way into 2nd. Given that this was the same result as 2-man bobsleigh, nobody should be all that surprised by this. Next was women's 30km Cross-country skiing, which was won by Switzerland's Emma Neumann. Russia came in 2nd and Sweden was 3rd. Switzerland actually had a shot at 2 golds on the day, but was defeated by the USA in the women's curling final, giving the US an additional gold medal in these games. Great Britain was 3rd. Finally, there was ice hockey, where the Czech Republic took down Austria to win gold, and Finland slipped by the United States for the bronze.
With that, the games have concluded. 28 countries won at least 1 medal, while 24 countries took home at least 1 gold. (Those number, I'm happy to report, are similar to real-life, where 29 countries medaled and 23 countries had at least 1 gold) Canada sits atop the sim medal table with 35 medals won, while the US was in second with 31. 11 golds were taken by Canada and Germany, while USA and Switzerland each won 10.
There will be at least one more post in this thread, showcasing some of the multi-medal winners and biggest surprises of these games. There's also going to be a new project of mine that will launch on the forums tomorrow, so be on the lookout for that.
For now...here's the final medal table!
-
Feb. 19th
One day to go! With a burst of events on the second-to-last day, we have a good sense of what the final medal totals are going to look like. Right now, Canada looks to take the top spot, while the USA is going to get close but likely come up a bit short, and Germany and Italy will also end with strong totals.
Today, Austria kicked off the day with a Gold medal, as expected, in the team alpine skiing event, followed unsurprisingly by Switzerland and Italy. Italy got another medal (silver) in the women's biathlon mass start, but the big surprise there was Latvia storming their way to a Gold and Bronze medal as they doubled their medal table for the games to 4. Germany also garnered an expected victory in the Women's 2-man bobsled, followed by Russia and Switzerland. Russia's Alexei Vinogradov broke through after two bronzes to win the Men's 50km cross country ski race, finally dethroning USA's Josh Rogers, who had won two previous events in these games. Oleg Volkov of Russia, after previously missing the podium despite gold medal expectations, finished 3rd.
Switzerland won the men's curling tournament over Norway, while Sweden defeated Canada to take the bronze. Canada did get a gold medal in Pairs figure skating, holding off Russia and the USA for the win. Switzerland's Simon Kuhn won gold in a blistering freestyle ski halfpipe run, with Great Britain gaining a silver and the USA getting a bronze. The Netherlands went 1st and 3rd in the Men's Speed Skating Mass Start (Germany was 2nd), while Japan took Gold and Silver in the Women's Speed Skating Mass Start (the USA was 3rd).

Feb. 18th
Not so fast! Reports of Canada's demise have, in fact, been greatly exaggerated. The Canucks picked up two medals on the day, though neither were Gold, and fortified their medal lead. The USA actually passed Germany, thanks in part to a gold in Women's Freeski Halfpipe. Switzerland won gold and silver in Men's Skicross (and nearly picked up a podium sweep by adding 4th), and had another bronze on the day as well. The Czech Republic isn't a name we have called often, but they got a Gold in the Men's Biathlon 15km Mass Start. The other gold on the day came from Men's 1000m speed skating, which was won by Japan.The medal table:

Is it possible that Canada might not win the medal count? It's been looking like a done deal for days, but Germany and the USA are suddenly down by only 6 medals. The Germans in particular had a great day with 2 gold medal performances: women's 1000m Speed skating and Men's Team Nordic Combined. Might they still have a chance to catch up? It's not impossible, especially with two bobsleigh events still to go.Japan had another great performance, winning Gold and Silver in Ladies' Figure Skating. Russia got a gold medal in Skicross, while Finland won gold in women's hockey (over Germany, actually). France also had a big day, with 3 medals, including gold in the women's combined alpine skiing. The US also racked up multiple medals, and could add to their total in men's and women's ski halfpipe, an area of strength for them. Going to be a fun last few days!
-
Feb. 16th
We have a podium sweep! (I believe it's our first of the games?) Austria took all 3 places in the men's alpine skiing slalom, one of their country's signature events. Russia was the other big winner of the day, as they went 1-2 in Men's Aerials and beat out Norway to win the women's team sprint in cross-country skiing. (Norway did, however, get the win in men's team sprint for cross-country skiing). Ukraine won their first gold medal of the games as they took the women Biathlon 4x6km relay, while China took took their 4th gold medal by winning the women's 1500m short track. The Netherlands got the day's other gold medal, winning the men's 5000m relay in Short Track speed skating. Canada only got a silver medal on the day, but still leads the overall medal count by a good margin.
-
Feb. 15th
Here comes Germany! With a big day, the Germans are pushing towards the top of the medal table. The medals came in two events: Men's 2-man bobsleigh, where a Canadian silver broke up what was nearly a German podium sweep, and Nordic Combined, where Germany went 1-2. Multi-medal combos happened in several sports, actually. Japan went 1-2 in Men's Snowboarding Big Air, while Switzerland went 1-3 in the Women's Downhill skiing. Men's and Women's Speed Skating Team Pursuit ended with Japan and Netherlands each taking a gold and silver, and Canada taking both bronzes. France, USA, and Canada also took home gold medals on the day.With 5 days left, it looks like Canada still has a major hold on the medal count, but USA and Germany could still make a late push.
-
Feb. 14th
Only 5 medals handed out today, but the big winner of the day was the USA, which took gold in two (Ice Dancing and Freeski Slopestyle). Russia had a big day as well, winning Women's Monobob and taking a silver in women's aerials, which was won by China. Germany had the day's other big win, in Men's Team ski Jumping, holding off Italy and Norway for the gold.The Medal table, please.......

Wrap-Up Post: Final
And that's it. The 2022 Winter Games Sim has been drawn to a close. For those few of you still reading this far...thank you sincerely for your time, and for allowing me to share a passion project with you. It is my sincere hope that I will be able to continue making Going for Gold better and better in the future, and that I will be able to continue to run special sims for the Summer and Winter Games. If you are interested or inclined, my game is always available for an alpha mode download, and I post progress updates here on the forums.
Thanks for now, and see you next time around!
