To sum up the absurdity of this competition:

In 2nd place: Manuel Fettner (Best result this season was 5th, only one other top 10 result, 18th in the world cup)

In 3rd place: David Kubacki (Best result this season was 13th, only one other top 20 result, 37th in the world cup)

In 4th place: Peter Prevc (Best result this season was 6th, only one other top 10 result, 19th in the world cup)

In 5th place: Evgenii Klimov (Best result this season was 5th, no other top 10 result, 31st in the world cup)

First competition this season without Norway/Germany on the podium. On average Norway/Germany combined for 1.75 podiums per competition, today they combined for top 5 results  ...

I think the last time none out of Germany/Norway/Slovenia made the podium was on February 1st 2020.

 

Conclusion: The places 2 through 5 combined for ZERO podiums this season & a grand total of 5 top 10 results. For all of them it was their (tied) best result this season. Anyone who defends this farce obviously doesn't care about fairness in sports.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

And we also had ZERO World Cup events on normal hill during the season ;)

Yeah, Poland not winning olympic edal in ski jumping, my ass :d

 

When I wrote never count Poland off when it comes to ski jumping, many laughed at me here.

 

Congrats neighbors both actually south-west and north :p

 

I suppose Michal Dolezal won't be fired after the season now. Most Polish fans expected zero medals in ski jumping here. This was supposed to be the end of the road for our 34 yo/average team. And it probably is. But we got one bronze as farewell.

If you think this is normal, then please look at past olympics. The guys who did well at the olympics always (at least at the last 3 olympics, i was too lazy to look back even further) had better world cup results.

 

Crazy how polish fans were (rightfully) expecting no medals and now they suddenly act as if this wasn't mostly down to luck/monetarily influenced decisions by the officials.

You can't expect the World Cup leaders to win the medals at the Games every time, this sport is far too chaotic for that, especially at a brand new venue where they never ever competed before, at a Games where the wind is clearly making things difficult for both the athletes and organizers in many disciplines. It is what it is, if you can't except it, don't watch it.

Phasing out normal hill from World Cup in the last 30 years tends to throw up strange results during global events. Rok Benkovic is World Champion & Lars Bystoel an Olympic Champion on normal hill despite having a total of ONE World Cup podium between them ;)

 

At least nobody can say Kobayashi is an accidental Olympic Champion.

Ah yes, Benkovič, who retired young, became a pet snake trainer and then ventured into crypto. Damjan was also close to the medal in those championships and eventually had a longer and better career.

    • I met JT Miller and Conor Garland of the  yesterday, it was an incredible experience 
    • I think you’re being too pessimistic as usual, you really need to have more belief in the Dutch athletes    Xandra is one of the top women in the 1000m, and all three relays should also provide solid medal chances. Maybe Daleman will develop as a contender in the next few years?   Roest is in the mix in the 10000m, Rijpma de Jong in the 1500/3000m, Leerdam in the 500m, as is your men’s and women’s team pursuits.
    • Imagine being the UEFA/FIFA official tasked with burning his hands on this never-ending fire     Go for a home match without fans for both Romania and Kosovo and then get on with life.
    • Dutch Winter Olympics is all about speedskating and shorttrack.    In shorttrack we have a problem since Suzanne Schulting (3 times Olympic Champion) broke her ankle this year. After since it looks like she concentrates on speedskating on the long track. But in that sport she is not really that good. For shorttrack we have medal chances for Xandra Velzeboer on the 500 meters and Jens van 't Wout on the men's distances, although Danjinou from Canada is in a league of his own.   In speedskating we have several medal chances, but I'm expecting not that much gold, considering Jordan Stolz (500/1000/1500) and Davide Ghiotto (5000/10000) winning the gold medals on the classic distances almost for sure. There will be some silver and bronze on the men's side however (Patrick Roest (5000), Kjeld Nuis (1500), Tim Prins (1000) and maybe Jenning de Boo (500)).   On the women's side there is Miho Takagi (1000/1500) and Ragne Wiklund (3000/5000) and the Canadian women. But also chances for Dutch gold with Jutta Leerdam (1000), Joy Beune (1500/3000), Marijke Groenewoud (mass/3000) and Merel Conijn (5000). Unless Leerdam will continue travelling with Jake Paul and focus on her boyfriend's stupid influence-career more than on her own career.    2 medals in short track, 10 medals in speedskating, but not many golden!
    • Yes, you're right. But the point is that the private sporting agency supersedes national law on this subject. 
    • It was assistent coach and former player Adam Szalai. He was brought to the locker room to rest up a bit, and then was taken away by ambulance, but without much haste: other than being somewhat groggy, it seems like he was getting better.
    • Day 5 (November 13) Results:   Group A:    Puerto Rico 2-5  Venezuela  Mexico 8-6  Netherlands   Group B:    Australia 3-9  Japan  Dominican Republic 6-1   Korea 3-6  Taiwan   Day 6 (November 14) Results:   Group A:    Netherlands 0-11  Venezuela  Puerto Rico 3-4  Panama   United States 12-2  Mexico   USA and Venezuela advance to the Super Round   Group B:    Cuba 4-8  South Korea  Taiwan 2-1  Dominican Republic    Day 7 (November 15) Results:    Dominican Republic 0-5  Australia   South Korea 3-6  Japan   Day 8 (November 16) Results:    Australia 3-4  Cuba  Japan 3-1  Taiwan  Dominican Republic 6-9
    • Looks like the person has been taken away, hopefully in relatively ok condition, and we're continuing the match.
    • nice (curious) description of what happened
