@heywoodu Gruben kind of did the infamous Sven Kramer move.

 

Don't even mention that

Just fulfilled a life long ambition to see a "British" long track speed skater competing in an actual competition!!

Very weird starting order in the second heat of the men's 500m, they've just thrown everything around instead of letting the fastest of heat 1 start at the end 

FISU is just being weird, on the start list PDF there's a more normal order with the fastest in the last pair, the second fastest in the second-to-last pair and so on  

 

 

 

 

 

35.72, even without exchange problems Krech is not in his best shape.

What?  (men's 500m)

Watching a bit of figure skating and the ignorance of the audience is quite remarkable. Kazakh skater performs and they are loudly cheering "Kazakhstan! Kazakhstan!"

 

And they also boo the scores of the home skaters, even though they had multiple falls/problems.

At the reception of every building in the Athlete's Village they have flags to show who is in the building, that's making this work a whole lot easier  

 

Today I got this photo:

 

 

My guess is Kazakhstan's flag is in every building because it's hard to imagine both China (whose flag is missing, but there are tons of windows in the building with Chinese flags so they're there) and Kazakhstan in the same building with such large delegations

 

So if I'm seeing it right and with China added, these are the countries in Brazil's building  

 

1. Brazil

2. Afghanistan

3. Argentina

4. Turkey

5. Chile

6. Azerbaijan

7. Hungary

8. Mexico 

9. Uganda (the snowboarder going for the Olympics!)

10. Gambia (well, their official/officials, since they have no athletes)

11. Georgia

12. Iran

13. Lebanon

14. China
