Couldn’t happen to a kinder person, seriously. For some backstory, he held an exhibition in BC around two years ago, and given that it might have been the only chance I’d ever get to see Axelsen play (I’m not going to travel all the way to Malaysia…), I had to go, it was on my birthday too. After the match, he was signing autographs and taking pictures with people for a full hour, but unfortunately I wasn’t able to get one.  Right as he was about to leave, I took one last ditch effort at it by saying loudly “WAIT VIKTOR, IT’S BIRTHDAY”, wasn’t really expecting much as he was probably quite tired, but to my surprise I was wrong. He not only came over to me to wish me a happy birthday, but he also autographed my Axelsen shirt, and took a picture with me. I still have fond memories of that day :wub:

    • I feel like adding more events without increasing athlete quotas should be encouraged. Medals bring investment in countries.
    • First, Ice Climbing. If it's could appear anywhere it should happen in France. I also support cross country ski and biking, but Ice Climbing is distinctly a winter sport. It's a lot different from sport climbing. Second, I would like to see a mixed team event in Freestyle Ski and Snowboard that combines halfpipe, big-air, and slopestyle plus moguls in ski and something like knucklehuck for snowboarding. It would be a chaotic mess, there's no way to fairly equate the scores between all 4 events when there could be a mix of genders in each discipline. Also it would be a broadcasting and logistics nightmare.   But you can't say it wouldn't be fun to see.
    • I can already see the criticism of adding too many events by some people.  
    • What is your source.    You have 986 medals for FRANCE, but it's only 977     
    • Enjoy decision by 3 vs 3 in best tournament for 12 years. Idiots
    • Coming back to this to compare the pre-Olympics predictions to the actual results. Not saying I was a great predictor. I had some blind spots in sports that I didn't even list as a possibility . My predictions of 30 medals came short by 3.    Alpine Skiing: Predicted 3, Actual 4.  Required the whole ski team to get this result. Each medal went to a unique athelte. I thought it would be Shiffrin's games, but she still got her piece of the gold pie. Bobsleigh: Predicted 1, Actual 3.  Proud of predicting the monobob win, but 3 was the max number I thought possible.  Cross-Country Skiing: Predicted 3, Actual 3 Got the right number, but 2 men's medals was not the path I forsaw at all. Curling: Predicted 0, Actual 1 The legend of the Cory/Korey's will endure. I won't leave the sport off ever again. Figure Skating: Predicted 4, Actual 3 First under prediction. To be fair, everyone would have thought Ilia was a lock for at least a medal. The biggest miss of the games for the whole team but the best opportunity in the French Alps. Freestyle Skiing: Predicted 9, Actual 8 I didn't break down this prediction, but proud of the number. I came up with 9 just as +1 to the 2022 total with the addition of doubles mogul. Considering we got two medals in doubles mogul we did actually underperform in the men's events.  Ice Hockey: Predicted 2, Actual 2 Only thing I was off by was predicting the men's medal would be bronze.  Luge: Predicted 0, Actual 1 A very nice surprise Short Track: Predicted 0, Actual 1 At least I said there was a possibility here unlike Luge and Curling. An odd bronze was exactly where I saw this coming from. Skeleton: Predicted 1, Actual 0 Highest rank for the US here was 7th. I picked the wrong sled. Snowboard: Predicted 3, Actual 2 Fair to say the US is not a powerhouse in snowboarding any longer. I was almost right about Ollie Martin getting bronze in big air, but it was a different event the men got their bronze. Speed Skating: Predicted 4, Actual 5 I can't say I meant to predict Stolz missing a medal in the Mass Start, but I'll take it. I was exact other then Women's Mass Start.   33 in the end! I'd rather get some surprises then underperform expectations. If I did do a full medal by medal breakdown I'm sure I would have over predicted golds by a couple. I can think of 5 events (figure men, ice dance, women's board halfpipe, men's skate mass start, men's team pursuit) off the top of my head where US were favorites but didn't win.  Only question left, 11 or 12 golds in the end? We'll see in the next few minutes.  
    • Could you please be IOC president instead of Coventry? 😀
    • Germany should compile all variations beside GDR. During that time FRG was the official successor of unified Germany, while GDR was a run-away country. Plus having 2 German teams was an unfair advantage, as they had double the chances to compete in sports.   If Catalonia left Spain and competed in 3 Olympics before reuniting again with Spain, the medals won in those 3 Olympics we wouldn't count as Spanish, because at that time they were an independent country.   Russia is correctly inheriting the USSR lineage, as well as all the other BS they like to make up like ROC etc., because at the end of the day it is still Russia regardless of the "official naming".
