That means 7 hits! :cheer: 

She’s not last either, so plenty of reasons to celebrate.

Mokhova :RUS has destroyed the field in this Individual. She looks poised to win by well over a minute.

@heywoodu How do you get DSQ in Biathlon. I know it’s “common”, but I’m just wondering what the usual ways are. :KGZ:FIN have both been DSQed after the finish.

Turns out that I don't really enjoy junior curling. Tactics is just boring, as teams are not willing to take risks, even when they are behind on scoreboard.

I’ve found this :SLO v. :NOR game mildly interesting, but yeah there is a lack of “let’s try something”. That could be down to the format. Every team is playing not lose, since two teams advance from each group. They don’t want to lose by large margins in case it goes to tiebreaker. They’re too concerned about “advancing” to take risks. At least that’s my assessment, but maybe @Vojthas could offer more.

And now the Norwegian skip misses the Slovenian stone in an attempt to blank the end. :facepalm:

This is the games where Norway has really fallen apart after the first few ends. Burras seems to have been a poor choice as a skip.

First medal for :BLR. Honestly didn’t expect to see them on the medal table, so that’s nice. Mr. President will be very happy with that result :p

The most common ways have to do with the shooting. For example going out on the loop with a bullet still in your rifle. One could also seriously hinder another competitor, go out on the course with a rifle that's not properly marked by officials beforehand or firing more than five rounds in one shooting bout in an individial, mass start, pursuit or sprint - that last happened to Taynara in her debut race, where she thought she could use spare munitions :p

    • And  Gaudet eliminates  Prommeger immediately after! 
    • Pink takes down the ever consistent  Lee by 0.03 
    • Big Air WC Beijing | Beijing, China   Women Gold-  Tess Ledeux (168.25) Silver-  Sarah Hoefflin (163.00) Bronze-  Flora Tabanelli (159.50)   Men’s podium according to FIS, because it’s not the actual podium   Men Gold-  Leo Landroe (183.00) Silver-  Miro Tabanelli (182.25) Bronze-  Dylan Deschamps (181.00)   … not sure how Deschamps is on the podium, when Harrington has a 183.00 combined score? He had the highest single run score out of the two as well, so he should’ve been the winner but instead he finishes 4th. I’m so confused…    A great day for the Tabanelli siblings, with both of them on the podium!   Full Results
    • 91.75 + 92.25 is 183.00, is it not??  Harrington should be tied for the lead alongside  Frostad, and not 4th?  WTF, I’m so confused… 
    • Really exciting men’s competition 
    • Another WC podium for  Flora Tabanelli 
    • I’ll start first;   Obviously,  @brunamoura in cross country skiing if she qualifies  (no pressure)    Curling:  Team Hasselborg and Team Edin,  Kaldvee/Lill, and to a lesser extent  Team Fujisawa and  Team Schwaller Ice Hockey:  Sweden men’s team,  Arturs Silovs/Teddy Blueger, whichever Canucks are on  United States’ men’s team, and  Finland’s men’s team if Lankinen can keep up his good play (Even though he’s probably going to get traded from the Canucks after this season, he prefers being on a team where he can get more starts than more money. Still I have a soft spot for him) Alpine Skiing:  Marco Odermatt,  Aleksandr Aamodt Kilde Freestyle Skiing:  Jakara Anthony,  Birk Ruud,  Sina Sigenthaler,  Andri Ragettli Snowboarding:  Leon Ulbricht,  Marcus Kleveland,  Anna Gasser Speed Skating:  Jutta Leerdam,  Jordan Stolz Luge:  Thomas Steu/Wolfgang Kindl,  Tobias Wendl/Tobias Arlt   From a Canadian perspective, I’m rooting for our men’s hockey team above all. Then, our curling teams, especially Team Homan if she wins Olympic Trials. Then Max Parrot, Mikael Kingsbury, Eliot Grondin, William Dandjinou, our women’s hockey team, and our ski cross squad. But really I’ll be rooting for all of our athletes. 
    • Decided to start a thread on this early, and get some discussion early    When I mean athletes, I mean athletes from other countries mainly… but ones that represent your country work too
