happy to see that you survived yesterday's emotions and you enjoyed the day...:d

 

your description reminds me those beautiful days of 1994, when the World Champs final round was held here, in Milan...and I also enjoyed one of the best weeks of my life, lost between the hockey games, the unbelievable amount of beer the Finnish fans (but not only them) were able to drink already from the early hours of the day until very late at night and a Finnish fan in particular, named Kristiina (from Turku)...:wub:

 

haha, thanks it was absolutely awesome yesterday, I am really super excited for the matches I´ll attend to the steel arena. all the atmosphere here is really phenomenal. I would wish to all of you guys to see it and taste it.

 

haha, well, I meet yesterday a group of fans from Turku and they had some girls among them :d

we wrote in the previous days that Italy is always the black sheep when it comes down to the media coverage of ice hockey...well, this morning we received some good news...all the games of the Italian NT will be broadcasted live on tv by Eurosport 2 HD (the Italian version only, of course)...:yikes:

acquisition that came after the world champs had already begun...as I wrote in the past day, never lose your nerves with the Italian TV Networks...it ain't over till it's over! (cit.)

well, Kristiina was 20 years young in 1994, so, nowadays she isn't a "girl" anymore (hopefully, she's a beautiful "woman", meaning she's still alive and in good health) and therefore she's definitely not in the group you met yesterday...;)

as I wrote, never trust the Italian media operators...:rofl::facepalm::wall:

 

it was just a joke...no hockey on the Italian version of Eurosport...motorsports and cycling, cycling and motorsports...and when it's not those 2, it's snooker...

could there be a useless sport channel? :nopompom:

 

p.s. actually, it's better for the Italian viewers if they don't show this farce...:cry::facepalm::zip:

and about the crazy Finns. I saw one in Koivu jersey he walked on the pedestrian zone, pushing a large shopping cart full of beer. :lol: even the Finns in the pubs were laughing seeing him. 

 

Amazing atmosphere, really. This is a dream coming true for me to see this in Košice, and that win over USA was the special creme de la creme

Where can I see spoiler free highlights? :p 

 

I don't know any result yet, I'd like to keep it that way until I saw some highlights, but I'm afraid if I search for it, I'm gonna be spoilered :d

    • It's somewhat surprising that figure skating isn't more popular here.
    • I'm not against team events or even mixed team events, but I think they need to be more than the sum of individual performances. So relays are fine (including team event in luge), team pursuit too, team event in skeleton is ok cause you have this different type of start though I would prefer the luge system (with a chip instead of this board you definitely can't touch in skeleton ?). Rest needs to be rethought at least. And rules need to be coherent between the sports regarding how many teams you can enter, why is it 4 duos in alpine combined event and only 1 in CC team sprint ? 2 would be my limit for dual events, even in sports where they usually don't enter more than one team in WC events.    Alpine skiing (10)   No changes.   Biathlon (11 -> 9)   - Mixed relay + Single mixed relay. Agree with De_Gambassi, different format from the gender relays, increased chances for weaker nations to compete even if we would have two teams for some countries. - Both pursuits. I've seen several people complain about how tired the athletes were by the end of the Games during the mass-starts. Thing is these are the same people that are adamant on keeping the pursuit in the program. Either ditch them or treat the sprint as a qualification round. You would then have one individual races, one MS and one "exciting" double-event.   Bobsleigh (4)   No changes. Max 2 teams per country.   Cross-country skiing (12 -> 11)   - Both team sprints. + Mixed team sprint.  Same idea as in biathlon. Like some I'm all for a real sprint and not the dull attrition races we witnessed in Val di Fiemme. Freestyle is mandatory, can be uphill/downhill but not longer than 1'30.  - 50km W + 30km W   Curling (3)     No changes.     Figure skating (5 -> 3)   - Team event.  Awful ranking system. - Ice dance.  "Dance", enough said.   Freestyle skiing (15)   - Team aerials. + Ski-cross mixed event. Ideally luge-like with immediate start after your teammate crossed the finish line. Alternate M-W order between the rounds. In snowboard cross men were almost useless all day long.   Ice hockey (2)   No changes.   Luge (6)   No changes.   Nordic combined (3 -> 4)   + Gundersen NH W - Gundersen NH M + Mass-start LH M - Team event + Mixed team event   Short-track speed skating (9)   No changes.   Skeleton (3)    No changes.   Ski jumping (6 -> 5)   - Super team M   Ski mountaineering (3)   - Both sprints + Both individuals   Snowboarding (11)   No changes.   Speed skating (14)   - Mass-start in the current format is shite + (Re)introduce an allround competition inspired by track cycling's omnium (first version). So a couple of individual races (500 and 3000 ?), an elimination race, a points races to end it.  (-) This would be endurance based so maybe ditch 3000/5000. 
    • Worth noting that these Olympics, there were separate qualification and event threads where as in the past, they were merged together in one thread so that makes the increase in replies even more impressive.
    • The best part of last nights closing ceremony was the highlight montage Eurosport made.   Anyone who didn't see it NEEDS to see it. Amazing.   Probably my second favourite montage of an OG after the London one in 2012.    
    • After our first ever Olympic medal, it's time for our first Paralympic medal.  The chances are good, but I'm traumatized by the Chinese after 2022.    I'm also concerned about the atmosphere of these games. 
    • no, there was a world cup stage also the following year, then the track was dismissed and the hall reverted back to its usual tasks (not sport related)
