That makes a lot more sense than what I was thinking, sorry Hide contents yeah haha, my mistake, sorry buddy. The mask is basically a commonly used slang term. the more official name is the face-cage (wire cage) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other three events would have to be pretty blatant for them to have a chance at a medal. Same for the team event, but given the format it could screw Canada's small chance at a bronze against Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moreover, China has more than enough 1st class figure skating judges. So they could have easily chosen anyone else .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that federations chose the judges they send when they win a spot on the panel, and obviously for federations that have skaters in contention the first criteria is who is going to advantage their skaters the most, not who is the best judge. As long as national federations pick judges this will be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,193 Posted January 31, 2022 #818 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Be careful though. Sui Wenjing is known to have had lingering injury problems for years now. Clean skates are not a guarantee for them. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE WINTER OLYMPICS BEGIN THIS WEEK — 84 COMMENTATORS JOIN NBC OLYMPICS’ COVERAGE OF THE XXIV OLYMPIC WINTER GAMES No Tim Singer for the luge Damn. I love Olympics, but I hate this broadcasting thing meaning right at the most important moment, we often can't enjoy the commentators we enjoy throughout the season. I want luge with Tim Singer and nobody else. I want bobsleigh and skeleton with Martin Haven and John Morgan and nobody else. During the summer, I want the mountainbiking with Bart Brentjens and the other guy who's name I forget but who's voice I strongly have in my mind. And so on. pdr4332 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
