First non-Asian victory in women's 500m since 1998, and the first time ever that there's no Asian on the podium.

This is normal for Korea (I lived there for 10 years).  Look up what happened to Apollo Ohno.  Or FIFA in 2006.  Or boxing at the 1988 Olympics.   Story: At London in 2012 Park Tae-Hwan was

383000 tweets already in Korean with Choi's name... yeah I'd be upset too, Boutin shouldn't have been in the final regardless

 

China's also extremely upset with the DQ to Han to advance the Korean

 

Some not great judging today

The short track giveth and the short track takes away. I love the sport, but in the end it sucks to have any medal favourites because there are so many ways for things to go wrong.

I dunno, it looked like Choi interfered with Boutin.  My feed wasn't the greatest, but I don't think it was a terrible call.  Actually, I thought Christie did some interfering, but I have to take another look at the race.

 

In any event, congratulations to Arianna!  Finally a gold for her!

I watched race now on Eurosport and Canadian and British girls deserved DSQ. A girl from Canada has pushed Choi and that was so obvious.

But on the other side Choi pushed her before that as well. So maybe this was ok at the end.

      2026 Winter Olympics - Very Early Predictions

      By copravolley · Posted

      For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.

      If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?

      2026 Winter Olympics - Very Early Predictions

      By JockCartier · Posted

      I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups.

      If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great

      Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.

      Just another reason why it's super dumb that the NOC max in freestyle skiing isn't 40.
