Canadian men out of the relay in the heats :facepalm:

This is why I'm so scared of what will happen in the Olympics. Could be 10 medals, could be none. Depends on the day. And Canadian skaters have a very long history of falling on the big stage (in every sport).

I hate, really hate, hate, hate this results system. How on earth can you come up with something like this. It's a shame.

Short track isn't for the faint of heart. It's a bit scary that the success or failure of our Olympics will largely depend on this sport.

The last two Olympics were held in short track strongholds that had some.....interesting calls that sometimes hurt Canada (and some others). Sochi had its own problems, but Canadians could not stay on their feet after Hamelin won the first race. It was beyond normal limits for this sport. While crashes and bumps and calls are all part of the sport, I just hope it'll be cleaner in Italy next year, and the best skaters win most of the races. If Canadians stay on their skates 80% of the time, I'll be happy, win or lose. 

 

We pretty much saw both extremes of this in Montreal last month. The first weekend, Dandjinou couldn't stay on his skates past his first win, while he dominated the next weekend. And all his falls were unforced, no one around him. There's falls. Then there's complete inability to do what you've practiced for the last 4 years suddenly. So fingers crossed.

Even with all these golds, I don’t trust us to perform that well at the Olympics. Very unpredictable sport, and both gender relays going out in the heats here in Gdansk is not a good sign…

The ice in Gdansk isn’t the smoothest… 

Gdansk is known for having very particular ice, so you have to adapt. Europeans, who are more familiar with the rink, perhaps have a slight advantage.

      https://nypost.com/2026/01/31/sports/team-canada-skeleton-coach-joe-cecchini-speaks-out-after-american-katie-uhlaender-manipulation-claim/   Oh the drama....   Cecchini: “I don’t really wanna speak negatively about Katie, but Katie was not on the World Cup team. She wasn’t a top-tier athlete in that program anymore. She was at the end of her career. I would personally would rather race against Katie. She’s not as competitive as the other athletes,” he said. “It’s probably really unfair to say and not really where I want to go with this but that’s where we are with that.”   Uhlaender: “If I were Canada, I would be concerned in how this coach is representing the Olympic values for his country,” Uhlaender told Fox News Digital. “He hurt a whole field of athletes, all with dreams, and this sends the message that they don’t matter unless they are number one. All athletes matter, and we all deserve to compete fairly, with integrity, and respect. He did not respect anyone in that field. “This is not about my resume or how good the athletes were in the race. This is about the fact that he intentionally manipulated the competition to hurt myself and 13 other countries because he felt it necessary to eliminate all possibility. That is against the spirit of sport and not what the Olympic movement represents.”   Isn't it great when other people's dirty laundry is aired?  /sarcasm     (I was a little surprised to see NPR pick this up, but per this article, Uhlaender preemptively recorded the phone call after receiving a text from Cecchini that said he had 'bad news' for her.)

      Idea (that I don't want to mess with right now, but someone else can steal the idea): Could feed the docs from LA28 + Paris 2024 through AI and see what it says.  (Would just take downloading them, perhaps merging them for ease of upload, and passing it through.)

      Slowly going through the documents.   Looks like canoe slalom qualifiers will be a bit different. More kayak cross quotas which will let nations to essentially qualify two kayakers.

      How about we choose either Rome or Milano  I hate this timeline we have entered of multiple host cities / countries. The football World Cup became ludicrous, we don't need the Olympics to join them. At least not more than they already are.

      FIBA World Cup Qualifier March P.R.   This is my proposed Young Guns Developmental Roster. The FIBA World Cup Qualifier in P.R. is a throwaway tour- nament for Team USA after the Gold Medal Game debacle. This is the perfect environment to test the Young Guns to see who has it, who does not, and who needs more devel- opment. The 2026 FIBA World Cup in Berlin is the tuneup for 2028 in L.A. The game against Spain will answer many questions.   Betts     Center age: 22 Boston  Center age: 24 Brink     SF, F   age: 24 Stewart  F, PF  age: 32 Kiki Iriafen F     age: 22 Jackson SF       age: 24 Howard  SF, SG age: 26 CC         PG       age: 24 Paige     SG       age: 24 Young    SG, PG age: 28 Plum      SG, PG age: 32 Citron    SG         age: 22

      I'm also reminded as I know Canadians are painfully aware that if figures hadn't been a part of the 1984 Olympics, then Brian Orser would have won gold.  Hamilton could have finished 4th in the free skate that year and still beat Orser who finished 7th in the figures
