This is sport, what would you consider a bigger surprise, Loch losing gold or Peiffer winning gold? Loch losing gold is a much bigger surprise. Luge is more predictable than biathlon.

OlympicsFan 783 Posted February 11, 2018 #222 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Loch already has 3 olympics golds + will probably win another one here, so it is good that someone else got the chance to win a gold medal. We also have to keep in mind that it was completely his own fault, which makes it impossible to be angry about this result even from a german perspective.

Agree, but what is the bigger surprise among the following two? 1) Loch losing gold 2) Neither Fourcade nor Boe winning a medal Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

dcro 10,182 Posted February 11, 2018 #224 Share Posted February 11, 2018 (edited) I still can't believe this. If Gleirscher had been 0.02 slower in Lillehammer WC then he wouldn't have even got selected for the Austrian team!

ChandlerMne 627 Posted February 11, 2018 #225 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I was certain that Loch will win 3rd gold in a row but after i saw that he had 11th time after 1st checkpoint i knew that something will go wrong. Major upset,he had big advantage over Mazdzer. Pitty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinipereira 3,055 Posted February 11, 2018 #226 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Is this the first medal for a non-european (Mazdzer) in this event (Men's singles) at the Olympics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luge is more predictable than biathlon. Although this season Loch has been doing exactly this time and time again. But yeah, didn't expect him to throw that away.

Who would have thought that austria would have a gold by now with men's downhill being cancelled?
