It's official. These Games are horrible.

For people who watch sports apparantly for most of your spare time, you guys have a very thin skin. Winter sports is always about weather conditions. How could olympics not? Women's Slopestlye - yeah that wasn't fair. Rest difficult but as fair as possible under the circumstances.

Not just that. Scheduling. Scheduling. Scheduling.

 

Also 80 secs downhill is definitely not fair in a combined race.

It's just not fun when a competition has absolutely single flow in it, like the men's ski jumping that took forever and never really got going, or now this farce of a combined with barely any serious downhill (only made serious because the wind is basically too dangerous for a competition), slopestyle was horrible indeed. 

 

Of course it's often about weather, but when that gets too much, that doesn't make it fun.

Totally agree about schedulng issue. But we need to deal with it. I watch the events one by another, not parallel, so there's no real difference to me ;)

I really like this course, i think they should use it on thursday too or even better just use today's results as official downhill results, given that it would be too dangerous to send everyone down a second time.

Imagine if Hirscher wouldn’t luck out with his bib for once.

Why luck?

    • Despite total domination by the Norwegian men (and yes, it's exhausting and boring), the accomplishments this weekend of Emil Iversen and Einar Hedegart are worth highlighting, despite them being Norwegian.    Iversen was dropped by the Norwegian national team after the opener in Beitostølen 2 weeks ago and was not taken to Ruka. Instead, he won both the 10k and 20k Interval Classic starts in Gålå in the Norwegian Cup last week, which granted him a spot on the start line in Trondheim. He took full advantage of that opportunity and finished on the podium in the skiathlon, and finished just off the podium in today's 10k Interval Freestyle. This definitely puts his name in serious contention for a spot on the Olympic team, which looked incredibly doubtful just a few days ago.    Einar Hedegart, the 24-year-old biathlete who decided to challenge the stereotype that biathletes are inferior skiers to their cross-country counterparts, just won the 10k Interval Start against all of Norway's best in a de facto Olympic trial.    Yes, it's exhausting seeing nothing but Norwegian flags on the men's side, but there can be excitement just beneath the surface at times.
