It's snowing in Beijing!  Second time this winter, first since November.  

This is approaching Vancouver levels of snow.

Haha.  Unlike Vancouver it certainly is cold enough to snow here, it's just so dry.  It's still snowing now and it's supposed to keep going until tomorrow.  But it'll be gone in a few days.

Hey I would let you know that we got double digits worth of snow a few weeks ago AND we were below 0 degrees.

 

As for snow in February...

FIS quotas confirmation and reallocation process is supposedly finished unless some NOC re-decline the quotas at last minute!

Well the"unless" happened. Czech declined a women SBX quota when everybody is already offline.

Well, don't forget about in what age the Olympics are held. Not only injuries, but covid may somehow have a strong word either before or during the Olympics. I suppose some countries will travel with some extra who are "just below the qualification line" in case someone is out due to covid or restrictions related to that, so IOC can do a quick reallocation to athletes who are ready at the venue. I remember there were some situation like this in Tokyo. If I am correct something something about :LTU quadruple sculls in rowing?

    • Prevc got hosed in R1 by lowering the gate but came back so his chase of consecutive World Cup win streak is still alive (again).    Naito didn't make it from Japan due to a flight delay but he should be on start list tomorrow. Nikaido is stuck in Dubai due to closed air space in wake of US attack on Iran so he's out for the event.

    • I mean to the end of an Era where there was very few wars with the consent of USA (in other case you dont have one) to start a new cold war, in the cold war you have "proxys wars" between the superpowers envolved, thats what i want to say, we are in the new cold war like  with the conflicts you mention.
    • Edward Prentice   2/20 hits, 41:30 minutes behind. Picked up the wrong sport, perhaps.  
    • Meant to ask this during the Olympics, but how many of you non-USA peeps are familiar with this song?  In case you don't know, this was written for the LA84 games by John Williams, renowned film score composer (Star Wars, Superman, Jurassic Park, etc.).  NBC now uses this all the time in their Olympic promos, intros, etc.   I had a friend who moved from the US to England, and when the Olympics came on, he commented that he missed this song.  So, perhaps this song is unknown to non-USers...but I have a sneaky suspicion that you Olympics nerds might have heard it.         Another one NBC uses (though I just learned myself that this was originally by French-American Leo Arnaud, called Bugler's Dream, dating back to the 1964 Tokyo games...apparently in 1996, John Williams combined it with Olympic Fanfare):      The combined version:   Edit: I'm hoping to make it to an athletics session at LA28 so I can be in the stadium where he directed the orchestra to perform this song during the Opening Ceremony.  Williams is still alive, and at 94, I hope he can hang in there two more years to see the Olympics return to LA and receive some honor.  He also composed music for Atlanta '96, and the opening theme of Summon the Heroes also gets used by NBC a lot:
