Outside of bobsleigh & luge they might not win a single gold?

Pfeifer has a very high chance of Gold in Women's skeleton, won the test event in November on the Olympic track and finished 2nd in the overall World Cup standings.

Crowd did their job with them and Israel. 

Some fake fans did, indeed. Whatever one's opinion on the country, just don't cheer if you don't like it, don't be pathetic and boo the athletes.

There was a plus side though. Likely a record of athletes attended the ceremony (130 french athletes over 162 pe). As we are not going back to more centralized winter games anytime soon, people will need to figure out smarter way of doing things the next times. You can't just have one hour and half of stargate camera cuts.

French Alps is likely to be just as spread around?

The ceremony was nicely done. I felt the Parade of Nations was way too long, but nonetheless thats the most important part imo.

 

I will say the departure from the stadium was a complete cluster fuck. I have never seen a worse transportation situation at a sporting event and it cost well over $200 to just get back to my hotel.

Unfortunately those lessons were not learned.

A lot of the countries got loud ovations including Canada, Brazil, Jamaica (one of the loudest), France, Germany, UK, Ukraine, Spain, USA and ofc Italy.

 

Only one country was audibly booed, you can probably guess who and when the Vance was shown for 2 seconds boos rained down.

They will never learn; the only thing you can do at San Siro is run just before the event ends.

I know Heerenveen is sadly likely to be part of it, but I suppose you mean also without that it's going to be spread around crazily...
