Malinin opted for the 4-Axel in his Short Program, but faltered, landing him in 3rd thus far (and only 0.05 away from 4th!). Surely he has the tools to rise back up in the Free Program. (Also, perhaps this will serve to show him that he is in fact beatable.)
I think they incorrectly translated Ukrainian word "nahorody" - it is not a full synonym of "medal". Its cocrrect translation is "award".
Meanwhile russian tennis playes switched for
Potapova ->
Rakhimova ->
Ukrainian diver Lyskun switches allegiance to Russia, loses all medals | Olympics News | Al Jazeera
'loses all medals'
I would assume Al Jazeera could have been a bit clearer and mention this would presumably only be national medals. I mean, it's not like the Ukrainian federation, or any single federation for that matter, has the power to strip her of her world and European championships medals I hope (not for her sake, but because that would be a super weird precedent)
Confirmation about the broadcasting rights. If I'm reading it right, for most of Europe it will now be exclusive to Discovery/Eurosport or whatever brand they use.
For outside Europe, it's on YouTube. For Planet VPN....well, let us know if you find out.

Also, should have mentioned above that the Nations Cup races today are just over one leg, whereas there are two runs in each of the World Cup races.
Got our first competition of the season coming up in Solitude, Utah this weekend. Live on Discovery Plus etc, plus also YouTube and the Olympic Channel. If you are new to the sport, the sprint races on Saturday will be the format you'll find easy to understand.
