I'll take it! Also is it safe to say that Weidemann will be the closing ceremony flag bearer or could it be someone else? Do they do men/women at the Closing too? It could be her and Parrot.

orangeman 1,296 Posted February 15, 2022 #52 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Well, Canada had the 3rd fastest time today in speed skating, although it doesn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangeman 1,296 Posted February 15, 2022 #55 Share Posted February 15, 2022 The aerials team has a bright future, but unfortunately none of the men will make the final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangeman 1,296 Posted February 15, 2022 #56 Share Posted February 15, 2022 I swear, Team Gushue is trying to lose. Russia is playing horribly, and Canada isn't letting them be the worst team on the ice. Even the commentators are speechless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangeman 1,296 Posted February 15, 2022 #57 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Despite ROC's best efforts, they ended up beating Canada. For those that didn't see the match, that was mixed doubles against Australia-level bad for Canada. ROC could have been up 4-0 after 1 but it took 2 horrible shots by their skip to give it up. A few other times ROC could have locked it up but they did their best to lose. Canada just wouldn't let them have the loss, though. It was really something to witness. All three teams in Beijing have been terrible. Gushue may make the playoffs just because of the logjam, but he likely won't win a medal. Jones will have to continue to fight just to make the playoffs, and again if she does it likely won't be a medal. And of course the mixed doubles was a debacle.

JoshMartini007 2,131 Posted February 15, 2022 #58 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Final Thoughts Good news is we won our second gold medal and two medals overall. Bad news, that's just about all we did today. An overall poor day in freestyle skiing and our men's curling team lost to Russia, though are still alive. Canada won over China in men's ice hockey, not in a convincing fashion, but they are probably thinking about the game tomorrow. Also a shout-out to the men's biathlon relay for finishing 6th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
