I agree...tomorrow's gonna be a nightmare...

and it's gonna be a problem also to watch all those events one at a time, avoiding the spoilers...

I don't get it to be honest, this seems to be the most boring day (at least so far) for me ...

No biathlon, no ski jumping, no nordic combined. The day will be over around 1 pm european time.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

well, maybe you're not so interested in CC skiing and short track, but those are my 2 highlights of the day (together with the already gone snowboard women's halfpipe) and they are exactly at the same time (for what concerns the most important phases of the competition)...

moreover, always at the same time there are the luge finals, the mixed curling gold medal match and speedskating (all things I'd like to watch, too)...

so, it will be almost impossible to keep myself away from spoilers, especially in ST and CC, which could see some Italian success (and therefore we're going our TV jumping from one to the other all the time)...

 

p.s. if there's something boring, to me, that' ski jumping (apart from figure skating, which it's not even a sport for my taste)...

So, a good number of hours of nothing in terms of medals (a group match, a qualifying, that's it basically)....and then from 11.00 CET a million finals start and they have the brilliant idea to start all freaking medal ceremonies of the day before right at that same moment!?! What the hell.

It's really really bad. Will have to keep away from totallympics too in fear of spoilers. Short track, speed skating and curling will have to watch later (whenever they are available).

 

Tomorrow it looks a bit better, but still could've been done better.

Indeed, nordic combined will unusually be during those empty hours.

    • It’s not just that. It’s part of the whole cutting numbers to raise standards policy. 
    • I'm guessing most of the big teams have been told to watch the numbers.
    • Something that Germany desperately needed, because they're getting destroyed by Norway and France. Sweden is also moving ahead with capable athletes like the Oebergs, Samuelsson, Ponsi and new Swedish improvements like Halvarsson, Heijdenberg, plus it's probable that Andersson comes through next year as well.   With the level that Norwegian men and French women have, I don't really see Germany being ready to challenge next year.    Have a feeling it's gonna be Perrot, Giacomel and a handful of Norwegians battling it out next year.    As for the women, I think it looks like a French year, with Jeanmonnot + Michelon and Richard getting more time to get better, it's tough to see who could be consistent enough to challenge. Although, I would love for the Oeberg sisters to have a season where they're both healthy throughout. It's also uncertain what kind of Vittozzi we're getting, if Grotian has enough time to become a challenger and in what kind of form will Preuss come back to, after her first ever season with no health issues.
