Mostly the top nations, yes, but in biathlon in this case I believe there wasn't even a choice. Like, it was all just entirely spread.

 

With La Clusaz and Le Grand Bornand, I hope at least biathlon and the Nordic sports will be together next time...

Yeah. Felt rather charming looking for team bases while on the bus  

But yeah. Saint-Jean-de-Sixt should be the village for biathlon and cross-country skiing

I recall Samaranch, look at Coventry - and I cannot believe she is in charge of the Olympics now

I'm sure she'll have plenty of time to become as corrupt as all those old guys before.

Nice Speech Powered by Enel, TCL, Corona and Samsung.

And yes, there was the 'Karaoke, Powered by Enel' at the grandstands - or the dance cam, but something like that - and yes, the Italian announcer pronounced Enel exactly in the way you'd secretly hope them to pronounce it  

 

Let's have the Corona Wave!

Followed by the TCL Strike a Pose! Which is somewhat awkward to do 1,5 hour before the race when there's only 10% of people on the grandstand yet  

 

We were approached for the strike a pose thing btw on team sprint day

Was there actually a flame in the cauldron?  Or just lights or something else like Paris?

I am sure that she already is and probably more

Remember hearing that while getting something to drink behind the stands.

 

My one moment on screen was partying with Tina before  -    

Was supposed to high-five an American fan but a drunk dane just kept getting in the way...

 

And let's not forget the freeze-cam!
