Pyeongchang Winter Olympic Games 2018 News

Gus Kenworthy :)  (I would not have been surprised if American TV somehow turned away, but luckily they acted normal and didn't)

Obviously something like this should be normal instead of newsworthy (after all, we see athletes kissing their partners after a good performance all the time and this is exactly the same), but since it's still newsworthy, why not share it.

Two people got injured at the 'Holland Heineken House', when the men's pursuit team was celebrated for their bronze medal. People were making noise while they were being talked to by the host, which eventually lead to the athletes getting annoyed. Then, in a not so smart move, they kinda threw the 'stone'* into the audience, hurting two of them...it looks like they're alright (one as taken away by ambulance), but that wasn't very smart.

*every medal winner got one, which was then given to the audience, who moved it to the back of the room for it to go up on a wall

Uh-oh. I’m going there for the mass starts...

Any words of advice from a Dutchman?

    • Disappointing end of the race, wanted to see history this year 
    • A lot of sports have been ruined with rule changes, modern pentathlon has actually better with these rules I think. I would never watch something span over 2 days. Short and quick finals is what most audience want.   Obviously can be optimised further, but this is definitely an excellent job and that's how a sport should be.
    • World Cup 1     Cairo, April 7-12       Women: Gold: Blanka Guzi - 1,488 pts (New World Record) Silver: Anastasiya Malashenoka  Bronze: Viyaleta Hureyeva    Men: Gold: Moutaz Mohamed  - 1,608 pts (New World Record) Silver: Mathis Rochat  Bronze: Mihaly Koleszar 
    • Felt the athletes didn't give it their all in swimming, it was slow
    • China was not at the Olympics. You played Japan.   Taking any conculsions after 1 match is too early and premature. Norway is definitely by any mean not a punching bag, They are a team relegated from the Top division. Nobody is going to blown them. In the opposite China yes, they were piss poor today, totally harmless, this is not China from the pre and Beijing era, any naturalized player is not in the team anymore, only local girls who had issues even with normal skating and puck control, Was quite embarassing to watch this, but kudos to China they decided to go this harder way and reform their team with local players.   Italy is still the number one favorite for promotion, 3 points against Norway are the first and very important step. Your main games will still be Hungary and France as scripted.
    • Italy today beat Norway only 2-1 (and also was a draw in the all shots stats: 28- 26). It doesn't look good for us– our form has probably arrived in February, not now. In my opinion, Slovakia will be the favorite tomorrow – they won 7-0 against China today – and they'll probably were a peak of the form. Personally, I wasn't expecting Italy to advance and I think I was right – it's good that the minimum goal – no relegation – is almost certain. Certainly, today wasn't the same form as in February at the Olympics in the matches against France and China.
    • looking at the video and knowing Australia, I think the wind reading was wrong, it was surely a lot more windy than +1.7, but we all know that sometimes these things happen (you're so young, I don't know what you know about the 1988 Olympic Trials in Indianapolis and Florence Griffith Joyner records -still standing )
    • I call bullshit on the performances from this race    20.01 to 19.67 would be one thing, we all know how good Gout Gout has been hyped up to be, even though it feels like ridiculously impossible with how steep of an improvement it is… but almost everyone from the race has had ridiculous PB’s, I mean Murphy who’s a 20.41 guy at best is now 19.88. McHugh broke 21 seconds for the first time a month ago, and now he’s going 20.23.   Either an extremely fast track, wrong timing, favourable headwind, not sure what it is. 
    • This also kind of showed, like last year, the biggest flaw of Pogacar: technique and bike control. The way he was wrestling himself through curve after curve where natural talents like Van Aert and Van der Poel (cyclocross greats, no coincidence) were flying through.
