4/4 golds for Fourcade and France in men events!!!

[OlympicsFan 858]

Another disgusting result. Germany was the clear favorite in the mixed relay and in womens relay, but somehow they managed to throw away those 2 gold medals. With the new german anti-doping law we will have an even bigger disadvantage against countries like Norway or France in the future. In my opinion funding doesnt make any sense if you have an anti-doping law like Germany. The only good thing is that norwegian women will disappear again next year. I have said it before "Hajo Seppelt please finally focus on Norway!".

Its still amazing that we are first in overall medal table, although we extremely underperformed in biathlon and bob.

Such a tense last lap. I really believed Marie could make it. Conhrats to Norway and Olsbu.

 

Oh well, 9th medal in 8 races. Not bad 

 

Edit:  Dahlmeier looks like she is toasted.

Olsbu was in great shape, running more than 40s faster than Dahlmeier.

France used an athlete who only competed once in world cup this year and only finished 69th.

Norway is the biggest favorite for the men's relay. France doesn't have Norway's depth.

The problem in the French Relay are the other three legs. Or at least two of them.
