Wonderful, apparently there's some sort of strike among fuel truck drivers/companies (something like that) in Brazil, making it rather unsure whether or not my girlfriend can make it to the airport Saturday to fly to the Netherlands....

I know a strike like this causes more significant problems in the big picture obviously, but this sucks.

I don't discuss politics a lot, but honestly I found the whole situation a little bit funny because some people were sure Brazil would get better under the Temer government and the exact opposite happened :p

 

Huge lines today at gas stations here in my city 'cause people don't know if we will have gas tomorrow because of the truck drivers protests.

Yep, I got a photo as well from a random gas station in Caraguatatuba (where she lives) and it's the same view: huge lines, all day long. I really hope this will either be solved or she'll be able to find someone to bring her and have enough fuel to do so..

I think this will be solved very soon, or at least I hope so. I wouldn't worry too much :yes

    • So, the gap between Shiffrin and Aicher in the overall WC standings is now 219 points.   The races left are: - DH x 3 - SG x 2 - GS x 2 - SL x 2   Could Aicher have a glimmer of a chance?    She'd obviously need to avoid DNFs, which have been an issue this year, but she could potentially lead the table after next week's races in Val di Fassa, provided there are no cancellations (the weather forecast is very good at the moment).  
    • Ricarda Haaser suffered a broken tibia in a DH crash on Saturday.
    • Last night, I had the privilege to see my first live curling matches.  The USA National Championships were just 1.5 hours away from where I live (not bad in a country the size of ours, and even more surprising since I live in an area where it rarely snows).  I got to visit the 'page final' (i.e. first playoff round), the highlight of which for me was Team Shuster vs. Team Stopera.  Team Stopera ended up winning by 1 point, but Shuster will be able to play one final match this morning to see if they can make it to the finals this afternoon (the winner of which will qualify to Worlds).  None of the current Olympians were there, having declined their spot in the tournament.   Got some free swag     These people would yell 'Peel! Peel! Peel' whever someone would peel a stone.   Got to see the measuring instrument in action.   And yes, Matt Hamilton and Colin Hufman had sleeveless jerseys on.
    • Men´s Super-G in Ga-Pa cancelled due bad weather
    • Done.   You can find the available replays of the games in this thread.   As usual it is easy to navigate, If you are looking for any specific event, take a look on the day it happend (you can find the entire daily schedule HERE )   and then in the opening thread of this thread you have the links for all the 2026 WOG days, so you´ll have just to click on the link of the day you are looking for, this should send you to a post wicluding the video you are chasing.   Happy rewatching !       *Please, Keep in minds 5 videos are for some reason unavailable on the Olympic Channel site   - Alpine Skiing M Giant Slalom Run 2 (Olympic Channel video - we have at least the Youtube video) - Freestyle Skiing - W Big Air Qualification - Speed Skating M & W Team Pursuit Finals - Ice Hockey - M Qualification GER vs FRA - Curling - W Round-Robin Draw 12 : GBR vs ITA   Will upload them here obviously, whenever they will be released
