This scheduling is a joke from the European perspective. There are currently ZERO live events going on, not even one single hockey or curling match. 

 

As a student currently on exchange studying in Europe, this really sucks. However, I feel like if I were back home in Canada the schedule would be amazing. Everything in primetime and in the early morning, with nothing important to miss overnight, except for maybe cross country skiing and speed skating.

It's just not interesting to read about hackers from other countries, I know how the news are made.

you didn`t get me

there are, from all countries but how can you be sure about this case...nevermind, it`s just not like that all attack Russians without a reason but this applies also to Poles, Americans, Georgians, Japanese and North Koreans so don`t feel "overattacked" - many of this is deserved, some not, as with all nations

I fell in love with sports.....since i first seen it

yeah..but u know what? I`m afraid it`s us, rich Europe decided that..to have some events in "good hours"

Now the wind made it even worse but i wouldn`t blame Korea at all, corporations from US and Europe - $$$$

Edit: Sorry, i think i got you wrong. Europeans certainly had an influcence on the schedule but in the end the US had to sign everything off, because that's where the money is.

I am sure german/french tv asked for a much later starting time in women's giant slalom, but guess who had the last word ... (look at the starting times and then look what time it will be in the US then).

Yeah evil europeans ... i am sure they paid tons of money to watch some women's ice hockey match during breakfast. Did european channels ask for starting times in certain events? Yes, but the times are dictated by whoever has the most money and that's not europe ... just look at the (planned) starting times of men's downhill and women's giant slalom. I am sure german/french tv asked for a much later starting time in women's giant slalom, but guess who had the last word ... (look at the starting times and then look what time it will be in the US then).

 

Not exactly sure what you're trying to say here lol. You just repeated the point I made.

Norway with Dutch-flag-jackets in the medal ceremonies :spank:

So the norwegians are wearing dutch jackets and the canadians are wearing norwegian uniforms (in snowboard slopestyle) ...

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
