It's going to be tough to repeat the double-double.
Agree with you on the speed skating, it's hard to say what needs to be done to get us back to where we were in previous olympics. Other than Hamelin who obviously had some disappointing mistakes there's no speed skating superstar like Klassen, Hughes or LeMay-Doan.
It would be nice if we could find a way to be competitive in some of the more traditional events that we've never been that good at, like cross country, skiing and ski jumping. We were close with luge getting 3 fourth places so perhaps that's a sport we could be medalling in next time around, what with the improved sliding facilities we now have. Luge and ski jumping are the only sports we've never medalled in, so come 2018 it could be down to just ski jumping. Unfortunately we didn't win a medal in skeleton, a sport we usually do well in, this time, but like luge that's one that we should see improvement in due to better training facilities.
