Why haha?

Because I don't want to watch the team I root for beat themselves over and over because they have a dumb game plan.

They have owned them on the Women’s Series, not sure how they weren’t able to beat them even once here :facepalm:

 

Mevius is new to the German team, but it’s not like she’s a superstar…

They pretty clearly need a new coaching staff and a new sports psychologist.

They are legit the most frustrating team I'm ever watched. Sometimes it looks like they don't want to win. Sometimes they look like easily the best team in the competition. 

I feel the same way about them, ONLY during the Olympics though. 
 

Anyways the fouls, and the lack of clutchness down the stretch cost them. I’m quite annoyed, but they still have a bronze medal match to go, hopefully they can get it done.

They just seem to panic when it's close and start missing easy shots/take impossible shots. Like, they're up by one with 2 or 3 minutes left. Why are they taking terrible 2-point shots? They're the better team, go in, get the 1 and/or force a foul. Make the other team make mistakes. Don't make your own unforced mistakes for them.

The more important question is can they avoid beating themselved.

 

:CAN has been dominant at the Olympics when they play well.

They can, they can also lose against the US. Any team can beat anyone in this tournament, it’s really wide open.

Coaching staff? Eh, Gaucher did help them win silver at the World Cup in 2022. Sports psychologist? If they don’t have one already, abso-fucking-lutely.

    • Just now getting around to these results...glad to see USA win a gold.  Didn't think we were much of a contender here.  Home soil luck?
    • Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall.
