You can’t watch Slalom in the US without hearing it, or Equestrian for that matter. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Because I usually have 0 reason to watch alpine skiing with English commentary and both German and Dutch commentators use 'Einfädler' 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!

TEAM GREEN Ilya Korzun (BELARUS) Stepan Malecek (CZECH REPUBLIC) Marek Potsinok (ESTONIA) Nathan Nicoud (FRANCE) Yam Yau (HONG KONG) Levente Hegedus (HUNGARY) Alessandro Segafredo (ITALY) Nicolas Elgas (LUXEMBOURG) Patrik Dalen (NORWAY) Artyom Pronichkin (RUSSIA) Maks Percic (SLOVENIA) Pablo Gonzalez (SPAIN) Volodymyr Troshkin (UKRAINE) 2. TEAM RED Lin Wei-Yu (CHINESE TAIPEI) Juho Lukkari (FINLAND) Mael Halladj (FRANCE) Matthias Bittner (GERMANY) Mack Stewart (GREAT BRITAIN) Dylan Wesseling (NETHERLANDS) Sander Selvaer (NORWAY) Aleks Menc (POLAND) Matija Dinic (SERBIA) Peter Repcik (SLOVAKIA) Tjas Lesnicar (SLOVENIA) Jan Hornecker (SWITZERLAND) Denys Pasko (UKRAINE) 3. TEAM BROWN Sai Lake (AUSTRALIA) Luka Banek (CROATIA) Matyas Sapovaliv (CZECH REPUBLIC) Erik Potsinok (ESTONIA) Hugo Galvez (FRANCE) Marlon Dacunto (GERMANY) Evan Nauth (GREAT BRITAIN) Elvis Hsu Chuo Xi (HONG KONG) Milan Ivadi (HUNGARY) Artur Seniut (LITHUANIA) Axel Ruski-Jones (NEW ZEALAND) Sebastian Aarsund (NORWAY) Rastislav Elias (SLOVAKIA) Full Final Result HERE So both Spanish players (Pablo González and Eva Aizpuria) have won gold medals in ice hockey. I guess they have not been the most important players of their teams (even though Pablo scored a goal in the final), but it is fun to see some Spanish ahletes doing well in Winter sports. hckošice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,196 Posted January 15, 2020 #1000 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I wonder if coaches were allowed to cement weak players on the bench (like those from Turkmenistan and Luxembourg). #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
