in Italy 13 is considered a lucky number, it's 17 the nightmerish one

given our performance in today's events, maybe we should change that and align to the rest of the world :facepalm:

Probably after this competition in :KAZ 13th will be lucky number too

Shiffrin in slalom for sure

 

I think slalom is an inherently unpredictable race, so an upset there is 'less of an upset' than in other races, if that makes sense. DNFs are very frequent, the course and the slope can make a huge difference, the bib (or the starting order, more accurately, as it's mostly relevant in the 2nd run) can also be a factor.

 

Shiffrin, for instance, in spite of being clearly the greatest slalom skier of all time, has never won more than 7 in a row, I believe. Even at her best, she never managed to win all the slaloms in one season (she won every time she started in 2015/16, but she missed half the races because of an injury).

Now it'll probably be even harder to beat Norway in the cross country relay, because they have Klaebo. Back then, there were no sprint specialists, and even Daehli was beatable. Even in 2002, Zorzi came very close to beating Alsgaard in the relay race finish.

Good ol' Bradbury, because Shaidorov also was the only one that managed to not have a hard contact between the ice and his butt

I am unashamed, at getting nothing done.

Any idea what was the average betting odds for our good friend Mikhail Stanislavovich Shaidorov this evening or prior the race? Or could you even bet for him anywhere?

Even the simple yes/no bet for Malinin was going on on Kalshi (which is US only but would guess other betting sites or markets were similar) 93 cents vs 7 cents this evening (European time)

So 13+ times payout for simply betting that Malinin will not win

Uf.  Finally managed to watch the last few skaters.  That was painful (Malinin + all the others...).  Happy for Shaidorov :KAZ .  He had a great skate.  Now off to nurse some wounds...

 

(Can we get a reverse upset and have Campbell Wright pull off a biathlon medal?) :)

Copravolley's post had me thinking, what would be considered comparable to tonight's upset? Norway losing the men's relay or the men's team sprint in cross-country?

Jordan Stolz losing in the 1500m

I just woke up. It's surprising that Malinin lost:yikes::yikes::yikes:. Before the Olympics, I thought there was a 99% chance Malinin would win. I can only say that this is the charm of the Olympics.

    • I'm far from perfect but for the most part my skeletons are funnier than they are problematic - just stuff I prefer to not share on International television :P   I also don't have an SO to cheat on (...anymore, since I am a divorcé and single-ish xD )

    • Some words about Ghiotto: for me he doesn't have the same personality/character, like Lollobrigida- I also wrote about this yesterday about case of Wiklund. Ghiotto can only win/win medals when he's in 100% shape. Otherwise, he gives up mentally. He can't break through in a difficult moment during the race and try to salvage at least some of his race. Today, the silver/bronze medal was within reach- all he needed was to win the heat against Begrsma (when was the last time he lost to him in a 10 km race?). In my opinion, Lollobrigida had the totally different personality, that Ghiotto did. When she would a similar mental, like Ghiotto, so she have given up yesterday with max. 2/3 laps remaining and finished 4. Another thing is that even without the right mentality, Ghiotto today had his worst 10k race in over 5 years and there's no excuse for that. Unless he was sick or injured, but I don't know anything about that yet.
    • When I was recently in Warsaw in December and walking its streets, I have the impression that for about 5-10 years, 1/3 of your athletes of most of popular sports summer and winter, will be probably came from Ukraine/Belarus etc., but I could be wrong. Unfortunately, the war contributed a lot to this, and it's not over yet    Poland did a great business with Semyrunyi, but it was certainly influenced by the fact that they have an indoor track and good training conditions there, but it could have been as you wrote, that today he would have won a medal for Kazakhstan or Germany. At all, Poland currently only has excellent sprint teams: men's and women's, so someone like Wladimir would be very useful in the long distances, because without him, Poland is practically nonexistent there. And yet, they have one more medal.    The Czech Republic, however, has the greatest luck: no indoor track at home, no major home events like the Olympics, etc, all the attention on ice hockey, but for 20 years they've had Sablikova and now Jilek- probably for next 20 years. Sport isn't always fair. Actually, Slovakia could at least get someone like that now, just to balance things out, instead of always having lucky of one country
    • "Hey man, did you touch that rock?" "No, I didn't" "Are you sure, because it looked like you did. You're a good guy, but it looked like you did" "I promise you I didn't" "If you say so" "FUCK OFF!"   -Bad dude   "*mumble mumble* easy to make shots when you touch the stone *mumble mumble*" walks away "Who touched the stone?" Surprised Pikachu face "Who touched the stone?" Even more surprised Pikachu face "Fuck off"   -Not great, but understandable.    If you think someone cheated or made a mistake, talk to the official or confront them nicely. It's not like these guys don't know each other. It's not like Team Canada or Team Sweden hasn't been here before.   This can be turned around and put on the Swedes lashing out over being terrible their first three games. It doesn't appear anyone needs to cheat to beat them right now.
