OlympicsFan 783 Posted February 12, 2018 #372 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I can't believe that the Netherlands have more medals than Germany, what a horrible result for Germany again, same as 4 years ago. I assume we can be sure that the Netherlands will sweep men's 1500 m tomorrow? If they do that, they could finish tomorrow with the same number of golds as Germany (assuming that Germany wins women's luge) if they win a gold in short track, so do they have a realistic chance for short track gold tomorrow? I just saw that Schultzing was eliminated already in women's 500 m, which is very surprising, so is there anyone else who could win a medal for them? Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, but I can very well imagine Takagi came here for one thing and one thing only, and that wasn't silver.

I remember few Chinese boxers that also had those long names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
