This website is the worst site big sport competition since ages....

Germany steals two golds....

Awful broadcasting during parade of nations at Opening Ceremony...

 

Hopefully there won't be more scandals, at least where Polish athletes will take part...

The scheduling. Two hours with only one ice hockey group match, followed by two hours with 3 medal events going on.

And not to mention the first two men's luge runs + a whole curling session + heats in two other short track events all in that same period

    • Here's the Placings Table, which works out rather differently than the Medals Table.   Placing Table | Kujawy Pomorze 26 | World Athletics Indoor Championship

    • fencingtv.com   now it's all there (needs registration, but for now it's free of charge, so it's still OK)
    • many athletes didn't get their visa 2  Schengen , canada , usa ...do it all the time  it's a new strategy to increase the chance of medals 
    • Four  (Duguma, Berha, Kalayu, Siyoum) got denied visas even though they competed in Toruń in Febraury  Must be some Schengen visa rules crap?
    • Yep, I actually think this Schwaller team is only just getting better every single year, and there’s not many viable options at third and fourth in the Swiss women’s curling scene, there’s only some good but not great players.   If Paetz and Tirinzoni both retire before the next quadrennial (likely for Tirinzoni, she said at the end of last year that the recent GSOC event would be her last) then Berset-Witschonke-Howald-Hurlimann is the best you can do and I don’t think the firepower is there. If Paetz keeps going, and it’s Witschoke-Howald-Hurlimann-Paetz then it’ll be interesting, but it’s also hard to predict.
