Olympian1010 7,479 Posted February 16, 2019 #992 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I don’t know if it was shown on the broadcast, but it happened in front of me. Kaisa got her ski pole stuck in bib, and took like 10 secs to get it out, coming to a full stop on the penalty loop. Got some great pictures of Kuzmina. Lot more local fans than I expected. Lot of down time between men’s and women’s with very little to do but wait. hckošice 1 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Yeah it was visible to see something was going on with her The wait sucks when it's absolutely freezing, for me that's the moment to grab a magazine and just ride it out in a wind-free space If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

I’m just chilling out. Went for a hike around the course (basically walked the women’s course). Great venue (too bad the Europeans hate North American stops) “Sport has the power to change the world.

It’s a great atmosphere, seems well organized. Only the third Olympic sport I’ve ever seen in person. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

(stuff like screens, good stadium speaker etc) One screen that’s pretty visible from most viewing areas. We can pretty much walk anywhere around the venue. Their are opportunities to bump into athletes for selfies, autographs, etc. (I don’t know if I’ll do any of that). Speaker can be hard from a few miles away. There could be better seating though, a lot of standing room only. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
