Short Track Speed Skating at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026

Horrible results for  these Olympics. Nothing went our way in short track, both bad luck and bad performances. This has to be the most disappointed I’ve ever been in a Canadian team in any Olympics.

What a race, what an Olympics, 5 gold medals, damn  

 

Itzhak de Laat is Olympic champion, I'm gonna read that sentence 52 more times to make sure it's true

Oh ya, pretty good chance part of why the ice sucks tonight is that it got up to 18°C (and sunny) in Milan today. It was a beautiful day, but not great for ice.

Chocking at the Olympics and being Canadian, name a more iconic combination.

I feel like there is some clear bias that might explain the results, almost all the music that plays during the races are from  artists xD

It's an absolute disgrace. They were talking about up to 10 medals with 5 golds, and leave with 5 and 1 gold. Dandjinou talked up like the new superstar, leaves with one silver that his teammates won for him. Absolutely pathetic showing for the short track team, which unfortunately is a trend for them since 2010.

Do we… do we fire Marc Gagnon?

It was uncomfortably warm in Bergamo (luckily we got out of Milan last night already)  

 

Here it was odd to have 15 degrees but the snow from yesterday still laying around
