Absolutely noone expected two medals for Austria today. I guess my mindset is often too negative. You are absolutely right though and believe me, I know the Austrians are really overachieving in this olympics so far and I am super happy about this result.

The gold in men's luge was surprising, as well as the bronze in men's biathlon, the bronze in nordic combined and the two medals today (although of course Mayer winning a medal would have been no surprise). Negative results so far: Snowboard women's slopestyle, that's probably it? Medals in ski jumping or speed skating weren't really expected. Let's hope that Flock won't continue the trend ...

Hopefully she doesn’t start in Super-G tomorrow and rests for the DH Oh well, much less heartbreaking considering she's got Olympic slalom gold and giant slalom gold already. In terms of my heart being broken, Shiffrin missing out on a medal does not even come close to Mölgg for example, not by a long stretch NearPup and Gigs 2 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Kirkpatrick 144 Posted February 16, 2018 #718 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Super skiing day. It was very exciting, lots of changes during racing, and great to see surprising winners and other medalists. Impressed with Austrian girls in second run, I think Schild even missed out on gold in that last secion. heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
