@bmo Roman is doing some nice coverage of the match on the live if you want to hop over there and read some interesting facts for a few minutes.

Eh 26-15 not the worst lost today. In fact it’s the closest game :p. I’d say our ladies have improved a bit, even if they’re fighting for 4th-7th

I have been checking it every so often.  I have also been watching Yankees vs Twins for the past hour or so as well.

I have to be honest with you. Baseball is in my bottom 5 sports around the world, but I guess I still appreciate the good games. Thank You for reading our blog every so often too, it means a lot. It will get more useful and better when there’s like 12 sports running at the same time.

Pretty easy game for the women. We’ll win the pool I think. We’ll see if we can go farther than the quarterfinals.

After 5 games, the U.S. men’s doubles bowling team is in 3rd place with a score of 2211.  They are behind Mexico & Puerto Rico 

In all honesty as long as we’re no more than 250/400 points behind the leaders we will still be very much in contention for the gold in the second block.

@bmo I didn’t expect the Trinidad and Tobago pair to be that good. That was a fun game for the men. That sky serve is wild.

    • Today maybe there was poor wax servic, but Auchentaller loses in every race at the end, when younger competitors: Grotian, Richard, etc. are already running much faster. Vittozzi is 29 years old but unfortunately she got injured in November - if she recovers, she will still have a big chance for medals. Unfortunately, Wierer can only be a complement to relay teams.
    • Could be the waxing on the last lap fresh snow. Auchentaller, Wierer & Trabucci all fell off on the last lap and basically had the slowest skiing time there? Overall though you have a problem, days of prime Wierer & Vittozzi won't be repeated soon but then I hear the same issues in alpine skiing where there is a huge gap behind Brignone & Bassino (the latter being 28 years old already). And someone claimed Colturi would have plateau'd if she stayed with the Italian federation as well.
    • Could not watch it, despite that I'm definitely not upset :)
    • I am rooting for Team Canada in Ice hockey and Team Austria in Ski jumping
    • Finally at least one condition suitable for the dog shit we wax
    • Slovakia returns to the podium for the first time since Oslo in March 2022. To find a podium in the mass start we even have to go back to Rupholding 2019, before the covid era
    • The truth is that the entire Italian biathlon depends on one Vittozzi, who is not sure if she will return this season and her form is also questionable, because the rest of the Italian team is running poorly. Wierer is old and will never win again - she is running weaker and weaker and what is worse: she is shooting poorly. The rest of our team is running too weakly to count on any successes in the future. I don`t believe that Auchentaller or Comola will suddenly make a big progress in the run track, e.g. to the top 10, since the young French women are already much faster than them.
    • Auchentaller runs poorly, and her last rounds are awful - generally all Italian women have a problem with fitness and this is probably the problem of poor preparation before the season. If you don't run in the top 10, you can forget about successes apart from one individual race. Wierer and Vittozzi always ran in the top 10 during their prime. I don't see such potential in Auchentaller. Generally, both in biathlon and cross-country skiing Italian teams aren`t able to train a few good runners for many years and this is probably a systemic problem - look at France, for example: how many good runners have they been able to train in biathlon in recent years...
    • First winter podium for Slovakia! Amazing. Nice to see us finally on the podium this winter. Feels like a good step forward for biathlon here, hopefully, a sign of better things to come. Solid result, let’s hope for more like this.
