[Bohemia 1,411]

I hate my work for making me miss Justine winning an Olympic title... I don't know how I would've reacted if I'd seen it live!

 

My dad sent me a text telling me she won and I seriously thought he was joking at first

Really happy for her, I just watched the race and she has really improved her shooting speed this season. Her 3rd shooting was impressive  

 

I do hope this gold medal will finally be her wake-up call but you never know with the women of this team, they are a rollercoaster.

That man screaming: "Ring the bell! Ring the bell!"

The real question is what on earth was that bell doing before the penalty loop. It just makes no sense.

Thing was it was so obviously a set-up for an Omega sponsors’ freebie.

 

Anyway, both biathlon &  make the US technical press!

Something that really bothers me about Roeiseland: She never finished higher than 12th in the overall world cup before turning 28 and then she suddenly became superhuman.

 

Also: What are the odds of Boe becoming the winter olympian with the most golds in 2026?

Actually pretty pleased with the US results in the Olympics.  Irwin and Reid, plus Schommer, Brown and Doherty. That is a good solid core.
