And they used the same suit for second jump, did they? Or does Takanashi and Iraschko-Stolz and Stroem and Opseth change them in between? Why once DSQ and once not?

 

It's so inconsistent. Probably worse than covid-tests.

 

 

@rafalgorka could be have a poll about who really deserved medal in mix-jumping?

I have no information about the suits used for the 2nd jumps. However, it would be crazy if Takanashi and Iraschko would have used the same suit they got DQ'ed for But I would not exclude anything in this competition I really wonder whether Stroem and Opseth used the same suits as in round 1 where everything was okay. Maybe the tech delegate was too busy to check Althaus, Takanashi and Iraschko

In years to come Sara Takanashi will be able to sit down with Elise Christie & have a few beers & an argument about who had worse luck at the Olympics.

Guys, I also want to watch the Olympics and not lose my time with reading reported posts, especially so long ones

 

We have Ignore user option on Totallympics, try it, it makes life easier for you and for me as well

IF mixed NOC team argumentation ever gets added to the Olympics, I have full faith that totallympians will sweep the podium

Also, did not have  medaling in ski jumping on my crazy hypothetical scenarios bingo card, so hats off to them

I am absolutely Shocked that there are People who were surprised by this farce. I already said it during the men’s competition (you can go back and check): The goal obviously was to somehow gift Russia a medal and now that this goal has been accomplished, I hope that we can go back to having the best athletes on the top of the podium. And of course the people who were responsible hopefully won’t ever be allowed to destroy a competition again.

The chief women's controller for the event (Agnieszka Baczkowska) said that all DSQ were for too large suits and all of them exceeded the maximum stretch by over 1 cm so it was a big transgression. She also said she was surprised so many teams decided to bend the rules at the Olympics.

 

She also said they don't control the same things over & over again to avoid being predictable so athletes have to have everything right and don't second guess what parts of their apparel will "never" be checked or sth.

This was the funding situation for Ski Jumping  Canada vs the rest of the sports. I think a medal will definitely help!

The real hope is that it will convince the Alberta, BC, Ontario and federal governments to renovate the Calgary Olympic park jumps, renovate Big Thunder and create smaller training jumps in Whistler. Having places in Canada where you can even do the sport, both recreationally and later at an elite level, is even more important than funding the national team.

I always felt OTP should have at least a minimum amount of funding for each sport. Like 100k a year for a coach/equipment/flight tickets would help immensely while not really taking away from the other sports.
