So this is the part where I'm supposed to mumble about losing a "safe" gold right?

Who did consider it a safe gold? Did you miss the world cup? If Drazek wouldn't have torn her ligaments, Canada wouldn't have won a medal at all, so i guess you should rather be happy today about this surprising medal.

Edit: Of course also about the surprising gold in men's ski cross. Only the curling results have been a bit weak today for Germany.

I'm happy for the tied gold - but it's not about the damn medal ranking, it's about the athletes who deserve the gold after dominating the last couple of years. Nice to see the gold shared with Kripps

Really disappointed for Elana Meyers Taylor, if it couldn't be Humphries I was hoping it would be her. She's been so consistent over the last eight years. Oh well.

But so entirely depending on the starts...honestly I prefer a great driver like Humphries (or Jamanka) winning it :p

I guess she did have a shot at gold in 2014 that she let go with a rather... sloppy final run.

What a disappointing result for Germany. Only a gold medal? On the world cup circuit Germany swept every single race! Jamanka usually wins platinum medals! Disgusting, Germany is having horrible Olympics.

 

And Austria clearly overperformed again. They must be the luckiest nation ever.

Just hot the press: despite rumors of her retirement, Kaillie Humphries has confirmed she plans to be at the Beijing 2022 games. She is also planing on lobbying hard for the women's four-man event to be included.

Hopefully they'll add women's four-man to the World Cups within a year or two, so having a competitive field already in 2026 could possibly be realistic :)

      Do or die for the US women.  Japan has nothing to play for, but I'm sure they would love to beat Norway if they have to face them again.  Let's go Tabitha!

      Yeah. It was pretty bad that they cancel the contract with the original creative director after 7 months of work. I feel like politics, in this particular context of the changing of prime minister and the cabinet, may had caused changes in organizational decisions regarding the Sea Games including the direction of the opening ceremony.

      That's what I figured.  Wouldn't be a proper lead up to an Olympics without some media-fueled fearmongering.

      option no.2 for sure, as it's been all this shitstorm organized by the nhl owners through their embedded reporters   ps not that the north american audience looks really aware of the hockey rules and habits outside the nhl (and around their game, too, since they look not to know that just a couple of weeks ago they played 2 nhl matches on an ice sheet of the exact same size of Milan's olympic arena)
