Bronze for Slovakia and 4th for Bulgaria had me questioning the quality of this competition. Then i went to see the results and people having 5-6-7-8 misses on the ranges explains it all. 

It was pretty windy and snow was falling, so shooting conditions weren't ideal.

Nigeria  2 - 22  Turkiye

Believe it or not, this actually isn't the biggest deficit in a curling match at the YOG. 

 

 21 - 0  holds that honor from Lillehammer 2016

Did the silver medalist in the men's 1500m short track inadvertently admit to a rules infraction? Quote: "Thanks to my coaches, and thanks to my team-mate for blocking the other racers to help me get silver."

 

That's technically illegal, no?

Actually Diego Amaya won silver for Colombia in 2020

Watching the ski jumping now, but really, there was that one guy somewhere at the IOC/LOCOG decision table who went "Hey guys, let's broadcast the ski jumping, but let's see how that works with just no graphics at all. No, I don't mean we skip the fancy things, we just don't use graphics...at all."

 

Sigh.

 

Edit: watched the first 10 jumpers or so, no graphics whatsoever, got angry and posted this. Continued watching and after the very first next jumper...graphics appeared

Yeah, I think there was just a problem with the graphics at the start.

A German slider already more than three seconds behind the leader after seven athletes in the first run...

German lugers make mistakes too...

No biathlon, alpine or snowboard. Did producers get scared of snow or something? Jk
