Chinese men gave it a fight for third.

So it's a silver medal for Overall five relays in each final with two teams clearly off the top level made these events quite hollow for lack of a better word.

Yeah looks like she fell because of her pole that she put between her shoe and her ski, she didn't have much space in the turn so that's what caused this mistake.   Man I'm so sad it ends this way  (and not just because I'm French and was rooting for Lou) I wish we could've seen a sprint between them instead of such an anticlimactic ending. This is incredibly frustrating.   Nevertheless, congratulations to Preuss who had so much bad luck throughout her career, she deserves this so much.   Now I just hope Lou will win the overall someday, second year in a row where she's close to doing it

Malago is in IOC and should be able to get things done. I don't know why he's there at all? I'm worried about our regression in snowboardcross... Is it the same staff with alpine?

Last event and maybe the first medal for   I mean we really should beat & even without Kaczmarek so 4th place is almost a given and then it's for the medal.

As if Malagò had superpowers....  You know very well that it doesn't work like that and I don't hang myself for a (contrary) choice of IOC. That's a great day for the Italian alpine snowboard, and who care about Games now

Thanks to Malago that he couldn't force in IOC for this competition to be at the Olympics, instead of a team event in snowboardcross. If it were in Russia or the USA, they would add the competitions they wanted. 

Soft medal for someone with only 5 entrants in the men's 4x400m.   squad justify their plane tickets.

Gold & silver for the italians
