Super fun sharing memories and discussing all of the various Canadian results with all of you. :yes

Hopefully I’ll be seeing some of you during the Paralympics in a couple of weeks! I know that’s not everyone’s “cup of tea” per say, so if not, as a reminder the Olympic qualification period for Milano-Cortina 2026 is ramping up soon as we’re less than two years away from the next Olympics!

Honestly the only ad that worked for me was reminding me that Poker Face is on CBC Gem.

I don't want to say this on the main CC thread because I'm making it all about me. But I just realized even though I was at the 2022 OC and CC, I've never actually watched it on TV. I should do that.

Can’t really complain about McIntosh being selected as one of them, given the incredible Olympics she’s had, but I can’t help but feel sad that Black never got her opportunity. No Olympic medals, but an incredible athlete, has all of the values of a person that want to be representing your country, not to mention that this could be her final Olympics.

    • No anti Russian and German vibe is really strong, but half of nation could admire German change after 2 world. We respect that they try to be over the past and not letting this happened again.  Anti Ukraine feelings are really strong now, because they have a Bandera as a Hero, and not let for exhumation in Volhynia. This hits for our relations so strong. We are really cool with Belarussian. Really neutral  with Czech and Slovakia. Lithuania too. I think even Polish People are into Baltics country more.
    • To be honest? Polish People nowadays like Lithuania. The main bad feelings are for Ukraine, Russia, Germany. Rest neighbours we are cool. I was in the Lithuania and have nice chats there,  they react nicely when I told them I am Polish. If we speak about Lithuania it was a Little hard moment when Lithuania has a problem with polish language  and schools and treat badly polish minority. If we speak about short Polish-Lithuanian war after I world or our Republic before it is not sth harmful and shameful for both nation. Vilnus was strongely connected with Poland. 
    • Big Air Men Gold-  Ryoma Kimata (176.25) Silver-  Taiga Hasegawa (174.50) Bronze-  Ollie Martin (171.75)   Women Gold-  Kokomo Murase (162.50) Silver-  Reira Iwabuchi (156.00) Bronze-  Mari Fukada (153.25)   Absolute dominance by Japan, claiming 5/6 of the medals    Full Final Results Here
    • Uk/france will send their army to ukraine soon...ww 3 some people prepare themselve to leave europe 
    • got the 2 quotas because a skater can't get more than 16 points in the free skating even if they finish lower than that. With the other one being in the 12th position, Switzerland got exactly 28 points needed to qualify 2 skaters via the World Championships.
    • My theory is that there were not enough ice rinks for all figure skaters and ice hockey players in USSR, so only those who had a bigger chance for medals could properly train. Since there were good pairs and dancers (and ice hockey teams), why bother about women? 
    • Women's Quotas:   3 quotas:   2 quotas:   1 quota:    are able to send another skater to the final qualifier.   One quota from these world championships will be reallocated to the final qualifier because Switzerland wasn't able to fulfill the requirements for two skaters.
    • Rowing quotas W1X:  + as hosts M1X:    W2X: +  as hosts M2X:  + as hosts W4: + as hosts M4: +  as hosts W4X: + as hosts M4X: + as hosts W2-:  + as hosts M2-: + as hosts   
    • well, there is no perfect solution, sometimes nobody can score in a Greco match and someone has to win. they could leave it to the referees to decide who is more "active" but we had this before, that usually means corruption and double standards and lots of protests, another option was having overtime until somebody scores but that could mean endless matches which I still prefer but I understand why UWW doesn't want that.   as I said this is not perfect but at least with this new change nobody will be passive intentionally. in Paris we had some matches where both guys wanted to be passive and that was really ugly.
