heywoodu 13,557 Posted January 8, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 8, 2018 This is an absolutely brilliant Twitter account, anyone with an interest in the (history of) the (Winter) Olympics should be following this: https://twitter.com/Chamonix1924 Basically, they're tweeting the preparations and I suppose later the competitions of the very first Winter Olympics, Chamonix 1924, 'as it happens'. Definitely a nice way to kill the wait towards the Pyeongchang Olympics, almost a full century later ahjfcshfghb 1 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!

heywoodu 13,557 Posted January 8, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Some first breaking news is that the ban of the war-loving Germans is causing protests. Our speed skaters aren't going, so we can say goodbye to the medal table. Damn it. I had hoped for some surprises, but then again, the times of Coen de Koning and Jaap Eden are already almost 20 years behind us. I mean, De Koning already posted a 9:16 5000m in 1906 and just two years ago at our national championships, nobody even got close to breaking the 10 minute barrier (which you'll definitely need to have any hopes of beating the mighty Finns and Nowegians).

heywoodu 13,557 Posted January 8, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) The French bobsleigh trials turned out to be a close affair, but Legrand and his team managed to sneak away with the win by a tight 27 seconds! Apparently André Berg didn't compete, which is odd, since he should be much better..

heywoodu 13,557 Posted January 8, 2018 #6 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Excellent, but it doesn't look like we'll see any NHL players, I guess their president is much too focussed on the money or something. Also, there are no American NHL teams, so that doesn't help. Toronto Granites is going to represent Canada according to rumours, because the Toronto St Patricks want to play the NHL.
