I was so impressed with the level of competition in Big Air. Great for Evan. 

 

Hopefully we see some strong results for Teal, Edouard and Max in Slopestyle.

Gaétan Boucher does the speed skating commentary for Radio-Canada and IMO it's quite a bit better than the commentary on CBC or the OBS feed (for folks here who speak French).

Me when every non-Canadian starts: I secretly want them to fall.

 

Me when they fall: OH NO!!!

I feel like Canada has been on the wrong side of questionable judgement calls in slopestyle at the Olympics so I am not going to lose sleep over this.

Neither do I.

Two Canadians on to the semis in the 500, including Boutin.

Dion

Jpg incorrectly dqd. Dion falls...what a nightmare.

 

Canada loses its 4th gold medal it won in 2018. What's left: 2 man Bob (unlikely), Ice dance (impossible), 10000 speed skating (unlikely).

I think the DQ was technically correct, but the Chinese skater really, really, really sold it hard.  He could have carried on and let it go, but wanted to get the penalty.  But there was contact and JPG was technically in the wrong.
