She is in town though 

Of course, she's got to check out the competition  

 

It's so good to see there was this rare moment where the IOC had a clear moment and did not add the women's Nordic combined to the Olympics. It should definitely be there, but definitely not yet, and pretty much all of the best women competing in the Youth Olympics is enough proof of that.

I'm really happy with New Zealand's performances here. They have more than just the 'baggy pants on the ankles and whatever looks 'cool' gets good points' kind of events, as Campbell Wright and Ethan de Rose (and of course Alice Robinson in the World Cup) are showing

Asia got more than half of today's shorttrack medals, oh wow what a surprise.

 has gotten 4th in 3 different sports today ?

Westvold Hansen is on fire, 2km in and already in with the top-5 lead group after making up almost half a minute.

[Olympian1010 8,230]

I can’t handle another 4th place today. That’s 4 now, 4

Westvold Hansen apparently blew it big time in the first 2km (or she fell later on, who knows, with this goddamn IOC/whoever is responsible and their lack of decent streaming of their so-called big youth event)

 

Lisa Hirner surprised Jenny Nowak, who only got bronze even.
