I have to apologize, but I’m not able to event preview for tomorrow, so I’m sorry about that. Switching my sleep schedule as taken a bit of toll on me, and I need some time to relax tonight.

 

Out of curiosity, has anyone been reading the articles I post, or am I pretty much just wasting time with those?

I read the speed skating and biathlon, since I don't care much about figure skating I probably won't read those

 

I only had a tiny remark or two:

 

Quote

The format of the single mixed relay meant the lead changed hands at every exchange. Shooting well was critical to a good result, since missed targets resulted in penalty loops.

 

That's basically like saying "skiing fast is critical to a good result in alpine skiing" or "climbing well is critical on a big climb in road cycling". It has nothing to do with this format, it's simply a part of the sport. Plus the first sentence makes it sound like the format meant the lead changed at every exchange, but that's not the case. It sometimes happens, it sometimes doesn't.

 

Mind you, those are only small things, I thought the articles were excellent to read

Thanks for the feed back . I try to write the articles so anyone can understand what’s happening in that event, so that’s why I’d say something like that.

Usa has its first medal

[Olympian1010 7,971]

Medal for !!! The drought is over!

[Cobi 981]

Silver medal for Ot Ferrer, just after Rocco Baldini! 3rd medal for Spain, which is quite impressive considering we didn't win a single one in 2012 and 2016.

 

Edit: Finally, bronze. The other Italian guy has finished 2nd.

Yes, writing well is critical to having a good article
