Today was super :SUI centric, I hated it. Also, they misspelled Colombia :p

When I was thinking, what could be the question today, I was sure about nationality of Diego :P Blind shoots with Davos & Engelberg as well as Swiss ice hockey. Mistakes on Olympic Capital (but the next questions said my way of thinking was somewhat right - HQ in 1915 because of WWI, but I thought they called it officially just after the war in 1922) and Vreni Schneider (I thought about Cologna as I was sure of his four gold and something more - that something more made me sure Ammann is wrong answer - and I was totally unsure of anything about Schneider).

Try it by clicking on this link HERE ?

That's exactly the page I went to and it didn't work in any browser (I got this same message in all three browsers on that entire Lausanne results page, no matter where I went). 

 

The sorcery is apparently gone, it now works fine again :d 

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! Full story and how to help can be found here!

I hope so too. 

I'm also happy that now every one of the six continents has a medal at the Winter Youth Olympics. I didn't think this would happen anytime soon, to be honest, but here it is! 

 

I sort of expected it, mostly because Colombia is really developing the speed skating well in Salt Lake City and Amaya has been breaking his records left and right to very respectable times :d Really happy it worked out, I hope he can keep improving and - for starters - get close to let's say the top-20 of the world in one or two of the main distances, which I am convinced he can.

Another small bit of feedback: 

 

Quote

Arito’s points tally of 30 earned him the gold medal ahead of Diego Amaya Martinez (COL) with Russia’s Pavel Taran taking bronze.

 

It didn't :p Winning the final sprint earned him the gold medal. The points in mass start have quite literally no meaning at least in terms of the podium positions. It's about the positions in which they cross the finish line - one can win every single intermediate sprint, it's not enough to beat someone who wins the final sprint.

 

I don't think I've ever seen any media report even mention the number of points of the winner and podium finishers, because it just really doesn't matter :d

Didn’t write it :p. The articles are provided by the OIS (Olympic Information Service). For the record, I wouldn’t have written something like that. Thank you for the feedback though. I love knowing that my work isn’t for nothing.

    • That is absolutely certain. Any somewhat reasonable politician should be good enough to win against someone like Trump, even with the unfortunate timing (for the Democrats) of having to carry the brunt of the COVID pandemic consequences and so any Republic having a bit of a head start anyway.   But yeah, dreadful performance overall from Harris, who seemed to start quite positively, but then just lowered herself to Trump's level in terms of throwing shit at each other. That was a terribly dumb choice, nobody is going to beat Trump at the insult game, as we have seen.
    • Sorry for missing the draw, I was getting ready for bed when it began and just saw it now     Nice to see it so filled with local sports facts though  
    • It was never a priority to stop the war but to prolong it to offload the old weapons systems and keep Russia occupied in a conflict.
