2026 Winter Olympics - Day 6 (February 12)

Silver for Grondin in snowboard cross

 

0.02 away in Beijing, 0.03 away in Milano-Cortina

 

I hate this Olympic so much, I don't even care anymore.

We've gone from being just off the podium to being just out of gold. Progress, I guess.

I feel nothing. The Blue Jays already made me feel numb to pain 3 months ago.

Yes double silver to start the day is incredible

This is making me nostalgic for Beijing.

Incredibly sad

Many more chances for gold here. Let's not get crazy. Yet!

Erm no, it isn't. I'm sorry but the enthusiasm, when this has been a disappointing day... is just making me in even more of a bad mood. Kingsbury got robbed of gold, again. Grondin lost on a 0.03 photo finish to Hammerle again, after losing to him by 0.02 in Beijing. 

 

But even if it was, you'd know that Grondin winning gold or not determines whether I find these games an overall failure, because of how much I love him.

We need to start winning some events we weren’t supposed to win to hit a respectable number :P

Well, you know I'd probably trade all of our golds at these Olympics (which to be fair, is so far none, so I won't be trading anything) for Grondin to have his Olympic gold so even if we had 13 medals and 5 golds I'd probably be reacting this way anyways
