Oh ok ... i thought you said it maybe because Franziska Preuß wasn't allowed to compete today and might be a bit moody.

I agree, but the wind conditions don't really matter anyway, he would have never won a medal.

I am really surprised, she was super fast, i think with 0 she would have taken the lead.

Out of curiousity: what would you guys do when you're someone like Eckhoff and start the sprint with 3 misses? Fight your lungs out for a miraculous 10th place or make it sort of a training session and save energy for the other races?

Amazing shooting for Dorothea Weirer! It's a zero! :bowdown:

I think Wierer or Vitozzi will win gold today, congrats, much better than Kuzmina winning it.

No anyone here expect a gold or a medal for us... we just looking for a good starting bib in the pursuit.

Save energy for the other competitions. By running your lungs out, you might win a medal in pursuit but destroy your other medal chances, by chilling, you improve your medal chances in the individual and the mass start.

You can never expect gold, but Wierer winning gold would be very ok with me, she deserves it and Italy deserves it.

But you did see it as a realistic possibility I hope? :p

Yeah exactly, my choice too. Especially when you're a relatively late starter and you know there's several strong athletes with 0-1 misses already.

    • I used public transit the entire time I was in Milan.   My first day was a doozy, because I had to two flights to reach Malpensa, and then the train into town was delayed, and then I got confused a station and boarded a tram instead of the metro, proceeded to travel in the wrong direction, got off, walked back to the station, found the metro, got off a station early, walked around a kilometer to my hotel, and checked in.   My colleagues mostly took cabs upon arrival, but I deduced to take the frugal approach. That said, I was a true public transit professional by the time I left Milan.   I actually enjoyed my rides to and from venues, because I'd just chat up fans and volunteers from different countries. It helped me learn more about the city too.   
    • It's the olympics, sleep is for the weak!    The first day i got there i was on a 12 hour flight from l.a to rome (flight that left mid day), lay over, another flight to milan, uber to hotel, then right away to speed skating (1500m men), then after uber to hockey venue for women's gold final, then after the celebrations uber to the hotel, i ended up being awake about 36 hours that day, the next morning i thought to go sightseeing in the center of milan, but ended up sleeping until like 2pm..... and had speed skating/short track that night 
    • I tried to get onto the metro multiple times and gave up    I had just arrived the day of from Bangkok (12 hr flight) and was just exhausted and wanted to sleep 
    • Plus, you missed out on a potential metro ride with me, which is quite priceless in my opinion 
    • My hotel was very close to Rho so was easy to get there, but it was so far from the hockey venue that after the women's gold medal match it was so expensive to get back, and also the next day after the usa slovakia semis it took forever, the asshole driver took the city and not the freeway  
    • Uber cost me $224 CAD to get back to the hotel from the OC. It basically prevented me from buying tickets to a speed skating session 
    • Romania's national team coach, Mircea Lucescu, has died half an hour ago He was in hospital since March 30th, just before the friendly match against Slovakia. Unbelievable how the life can have such turns...in March 26th he was in Istanbul playing the WC qualifying play-off vs Turkiye and now he died.    Thank you very much for every moments you bring us in your huge career (he's on 3rd place in a most trophies won in career, after Ferguson and Guardiola) and may your soul rest in peace, Mr. Lucescu.
