the guy himself managed to move our relay from 10 seconds behind 10th place to the final 20th and behind Korea !!! oh dear...what a crime :wall:

 

looks we started another beautiful biathlon season

 

Well, to be honest, Korea did some Olympics shopping in Anna Boulygina and soon to be Timofei Lapshin, so they won't be the usual big punching bag. :d

These single mixed relays seem... Unnecessary...

The only good thing of ever adding it to the Olympic program would be if it means the end of the unfair pursuit in the Olympics :evil:

However, some of the winter federations ought to learn that all of the reasonable formats have been created. I mean, there is whole bunch of new weird and useless events appearing everywhere. Single mixed relay in biathlon, mass start and team sprint in speed skating, team sprint in nordic combined... Or my "favourite", "sprint" events in luge. :lol:

I do like the single mixed to be honest, but not as a "serious" event :p 

 

It's a perfect event for exhibition events like in Gelsenkirchen, the best format I can think of actually :p

    • do you anderstand french   
    • From a  perspective:   Elana Meyers Taylor winning monobob, Alysa Liu winning women's figure skating, Shiffrin winning women's slalom & both our hockey teams winning gold   From an international perspective:    Klaebo dominating cross country skiing events  Shaidorov winning men's figure skating  Franjo von Allmen dominating men's alpine skiing  Kingsbury winning gold in dual moguls  Netherlands dominating short track now??!?!?!  Lucas winning gold for Brasil and South America   In reality, all the athletes are winners for sacrificing so much to participate in these Olympics. What an incredible games full of unpredictable and inspiring moments!
    • The driver of Epstein is telling ,he was charged to hide bodies of killed btchs   
    • Kudos to you bud, I don't think anyone was happy with the performance by Canada all tournament, but we all stayed on until the end. Take as much time as you need.
    • As new sports I would add cyclocross with the condition it needs to be contested on snow. I would add ice climbing in speed and lead events. I would add freeride ski and snowboard. For new events I would add team sprint events in speed skating, women's Nordic combined, mixed team ski cross, mixed team parallel giant slalom, women's team ski jumping and add longer distance ski mountaineering events.    If there was room on the schedule I would also expand curling to 12 teams in each event.   In total I would add around 20 events for a total of 136 events. Cyclocross-3 Ice climbing-4 Freeride-4 Speed skating-2 Ski jumping-1 Nordic combined-2 Mixed team ski cross-1 Mixed team parallel giant slalom-1 Ski mountaineering-2
    • Hey everyone , now that the Olympics are over just wanted to make an announcement that I'll be taking a break from posting on Totallympics for the most part, and watching sports. Mentally these games have broke me in so many ways, and I need time to reset. Not sure for how long, at least a week, but I'll be back for the Paralympics.   I thought taking time to reflect over the past week and a half, it would make Grondin's silver feel better, it didn't at all. I still think about it all the time and it hurts. Just upset, frustrated, and disappointed that he was a photo finish away from gold... again, and I'd trade half of our medals for the colour to be changed.    Not to mention Canada only won 21 medals, 5-7-9, which is our lowest total since Salt Lake City 2002 with less events, but whatever I got used to it half a week ago... 
    • Otherwise the tournament has been excellent in ice hockey, and overall too. 😊
    • Overtime being 3-on-3 is such a bad rule, especially in a final.
    • NBC had a lovely special after the ceremony...even highlighted some non-USA athletes.  Perhaps a few Americans will know Klaebo's name now!  There was even a segment highlighting the Italian medallists, that this was a record year for them, too.   (Best of Milan Cortina, on Peacock, if you can access it.)
