Is Vonn crying?

Ragnhild had to ruin my perfect podium. I like her just fine, but she already has a silver medal as a surprise and Norway has plenty of medals, while Lichtenstein only depends on Tina.

looks like at the end of the day 3 DNF and one gold medal for Italy

She can't participate because she needs some snowboard training

Another gold for Italy and another surprising medal for Norway, those 2 must be among the 3 most overperforming countries here, together with Czech Republic probably. The only logical explanation is that Italy traded football world cup for all those insane results here, no other explanation for why they are completely overperforming here. Norway probably has won half a dozen surprising medals by now, while Germany didn't win any so far, so not surprising that they lead the medal table. Surprises are what makes the olympics special, but so far there hasn't been any event where Germany surprisingly won a medal, so it's impossible to get very excited about the olympics as a german fan ...

How is Italy overperforming if I may ask? At least in alpine skiing, Goggia was a favorite for 1st or 2nd place and Brignone was one of the contenders for the medal. Even Dominik’s 4th place is not a surprise.

They're not, not even a little bit. In fact I think one gold and bronze is (a little, one medal or something) less than what one could realistically have hoped for after the currently finished events.
