Meanwhile I'm reading and posting on a Dutch forum and there we are all very much enjoying it  

This is understandable though, people here also enjoyed speed skating point race or whatever it is named much more than the individual events during the winter olympics and calling them boring waste

This is what I will remember Grigar for, Olympic small finalist in the kayak cross, yes

Exactly, and here we generally dislike the (current format of) the mass start  

 

Considering like speed skating, canoe slalom is a rather niche and obscure sport in the world, I think a majority of Olympic viewers will actually like it...

 

Curious what (all of) the athletes think of it, that's the most important I think.

It’s what will be noted before each speech when he becomes IOC president just like Mr.Bach

Another gold for the Fox family, someone please remove all the alcohol from @hckošice's house or else this is going wrong

Noemi Fox wins women's kayak. Woods blew it being right on her tail and is lucky to get a bronze since Lilik missed a gate.
