Because they're retarded. 

 

In a second I thought they are just envisaging to put a mixed parallel Giant Slalom event instead of the M and W PGS or something like that, but then I noticed that they also wrote 13 events in cross country skiing and a total of 50 events for FIS sports:roflmao: so I assume it´s just the amount of medal sessions including the Nordic combined cross-country parts and both snowboarding PGS will be contested in the same session...or I am just still wrong and just somehow still did not understand this article :red:

So is it legit to call the Pyeongchang medal the 'I don't care just carve Olympic Rings on a tree bark' medal? :d

Yep :d 

 

Although I do like that at least the shape is like that of a normal medal, not some 'look at us, we are creative!' hipster kind of thing :p

Have to agree on this. In badminton they decided to change the usual circle to 'whatever I just want the BWF logo shape' which I found pretty annoying

may I ask you where did you find those pictures? :mumble:

 

because according to the Official Olympic Website (and the best Italian sports website) the Olympic Medals look pretty normal...they do not look like that at all...

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
