Yes, obviously. I believe this (Final B winner getting a medal) happened once with one of the relays few years ago but can't be sure.

:NED won bronze in W Relay in PyeongChang 2018 this way If my memory is correct, it was also with a OR or WR in the B final I think

Netherlands got bronze in womens relay in 2018 by finishing 1st in the B final because Canada and Korea were DQed in A final.  

 

This might explain some of the "interesting" decisions here in Beijing, since a Chinese official said after that DQ that Korea would pay in 2022.  

 

Also, Netherlands got a WR in the B final, creating an even more crazy situation where the WR got bronze.

If all Chinese 4 opponents in the A final will be DSQ and you win the B Final you will automatically have silver, right ?

Yeah. That's why we messed up the semi-final, we knew that this is the only way to win the medal. The Koreans and Canadians didn't realize that qualifying for Final A was a mistake.

I think a majority of people were simply working and either heard it on the radio thinking 'oh nice' or will see it tonight on the news :p

 

But of course I'm free from work :d Cool to see two medals for the team at once (Desmet trains with the Dutch team, which is why she too had a panther-skin heart on her helmet in honour of the late Lara van Ruijven)

Well, at least no penalty to Canada.  That's all I was hoping for.  China could have taken out a gun, shot the other competitors and blew up the venue, and still made the final.  

 

Like the Canadian commentator just said, "The referee has an opportunity to do this................."

Chinese commentators spoke about one rule for relays .... It says if you amongst first 2 nations and you have an accidental/innocent fall , according to the rules you should be advanced to the next round. But if you are 3rd or 4th at the time of the fall - not ...... I am not an expert in short track, but ...... 😅😅😅😅😅

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
    • If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?
    • I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups. 
    • If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great
    • Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
    • Just another reason why it's super dumb that the NOC max in freestyle skiing isn't 40.
    • In rugby there's More Squidge Rugby (the main channel has proper videos).
