Day 12 (February 16th, 2022)


Recommended Posts

You have to think for CBC.  First, terrible time difference for these Olympics.  Then, no real figure skaters for Canada.  Curlers and men's hockey doing terribly.  Barely any golds. This has to be the worst Olympics ratings-wise for CBC in a long time.  You can hear it in the hockey announcers voices.

Final Thoughts

 

We won our third gold, but getting eliminated in men's ice hockey is quite sad. Despite the loss, women's curling still has a chance to reach the semis, but winning a medal will be tough. Shout out to our men's cross-country team for finishing 5th in the team sprint, a very good result for them.

They place fifth for a huge result 

Def feels like Canada might have a realistic shot at a men's cross country medal in 2026.

Biathlon too - some impressive results there too, although I'm not sure if Scott Gow would stick around for another quad.

Ok, now officially nothing can happen to change this from being a disaster Olympics for Canada.  

I had been predicting for several months that Canada was going to have its worst games since Salt Lake City, but honestly I'm pleasantly surprised with the results in many sports.

 

I am confident for 2026, but Freestyle Canada Moguls Team is very bad for next 4 years ...

I did some math because I was bored (beats doing what I'm supposed to be doing).  

 

In terms of percentage of total medals and golds offered, these are Canada's worst Games since 1992 and 1988, respectively.  

 

To be as "bad" as 2002 in terms of percentages, Canada would have to win 4 more medals and a whopping 6 more golds.  

 

I know I'm just harping on it now, but these Games have been a really big disappointment for Canada across the board.  As always, there have been shinning stars like Weidemann, Parrot and Dubois, along with strong underrated performances in alpine, biathlon and cross-country.  But Canada is moving backwards in several sports.

    • Just now getting around to these results...glad to see USA win a gold.  Didn't think we were much of a contender here.  Home soil luck?
    • Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall. 
    • Finally got around to updating post 2 with results from last weekend...that's a lot of German and Austrian flags!
