With exactly four months to go before the start of the Sochi Winter Games, Norway is forecast to win 37 medals – 15 gold, 12 silver and 10 bronze – according to the Infostrada Sports Virtual Medal Table. The Norwegians will therefore have their best Games ever and equal the most medals won by an NOC at a Winter Games, set by the USA in 2010.
In terms of total medals, Germany is also currently forecast to return home with a record equalling 37. Canada and the United States complete a quartet of NOC's expected to battle it out to be top team in Sochi.
The Virtual Medal Table is based on a statistical model for performance which takes account of results, competition level and the time since the performance was recorded. It is therefore dynamic and changes with every result, providing an ever updating forecast for the top eight in each of the events at next year’s Winter Games. The model outperformed all of the academic models in predicting the final medal table at last year’s Summer Games and its methodology has been improved for Sochi.
