Thanks to the alpine skiing commentator, I learned a new English word  

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straddle_(skiing)

 

I had never in my life heard that be called any different than the German word "Einfädler"  

You’ve never heard straddle . You can’t watch Slalom in the US without hearing it, or Equestrian for that matter.

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

You’ve never heard it during Equestrian either? Or Gymnastics?

When you get on a horse what do you do? You straddle it. You ride a horse by straddling it.

“And here they come over this tough barrier, and...he does a great job to maintain that tight straddle.”

Never heard of it. Maybe you are confusing straddle with stride?

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.

well, the team is as strong as its weakest link. they won gold so they were the strongest

 

Congrats for your athlete, they are seriously impressive here

I wonder if coaches were allowed to cement weak players on the bench (like those from Turkmenistan and Luxembourg).
