Imagine the surprise for all those users who have set the alarms to 3 AM for nothing.

We'll have to wait and see, but I doubt anyone will be able to defeat the Icelanders in fraud and bigfoot competitions (Google Translate).

Schild's last time split was 2 tenths better than hansdotter's :cry::cry::cry:

edit: that said, of all non Austrians Hansdotter is the perfect winner for me. She crowned an incredible career in which she always stood in the shadow of shiffrin in the best possible way

I feel sorry for anyone who slept through this, most amazing race of the season and easily top 3 at the olympics so far.

Great podium, although i hoped for a Holdener win. Swedish people are probably crying 24/7 this week, once in a century olympics for them, also very nice to see that Austria is still alive. Shiffrin already has a gold + probably another one in the combined, so she will get over it.

This means that there are still only 4 women who defended their olympic title, none did it in the slalom.

You are really good at seeing the negativ in everything. Absolutely noone expected two medals for Austria today.

US with one of the worst hours for a country at this Olympics between Jacobellis, Chen, and Shiffrin :yikes:

Jacobellis flopped again? Can't say i am surprised. Chen out of the medal race? I think i predicted bronze for him, not sure ...

Jacobellis was leading first half of the final then just slowly dropped back and got pipped for bronze by the falling Samkova. Chen is way out of the medal race

Heartbreaking, especially since she was so close to a medal, which would at least kinda save the situation. But honestly, she looked like a shadow of herself today, not attacking the course in either run (except maybe the bottom part of the 2nd), so I presume she has not much energy. Hopefully she doesn’t start in Super-G tomorrow and rests for the DH

Ok, nothing new. I see that Hanyu is running away with the gold as expected? I think my prediction was Hanyu ahead of Fernandez and Uno. Chan, Aliev and Boyang might have a problem with that.

      Speed Skating ISU World Cup 2024 - 2025

      Today is a day without Italians in the leads positions. I`m worried that they are not trying to revive this our sprint. There is only one Bosa and he is old. Pergher is young but she is also only one. It is a pity. After the Olympics they will probably 100% give up on the entire sprint. Our medal bag in Cortina will depend 90% on Ghiotto, just like it did on Fabris in Turin 2006. If Ghiotto will be in goodshape, he can even win 2 individual golds + a team medal. If not, it will be a flop. Apart from him, only Lollobrigida can compete in the mass start and possibly Giovannini in the men's mass start.

      The news then is that she has not yet been arrested? I suppose Camila when she returns to Italy will have a very unwelcome visit from the Guardia di Finanza.

      Yes, he is ones of the first supporters of Milei, owner of one of the most important stock market of Argentina (Bull market), he was peronist and for "unknown reasons" start to be libertarian.   Even being libertarian in my case, i have to admit that him is one of the dumbest of "Milei supporters" and a clown when  he is in TV, he made me feel  embarrassed in many occasions.   Camila Giorgi being with him is.......inconceivable.
