well I mostly write comments about sports I'm more informed about. but it doesn't mean I don't follow other sports. I just read others comments and learn from them. I love watching sports in general. major competitions though, not all the World Cups. if I'm not wrong since 2006 (the first time I watched the WOG) I didn't miss a single final. I think I'm more interested in Alpine, Biathlon, Figure skating, even Curling and Short Track the only winter sport I have hard time to enjoy is Ice Hockey (and maybe Nordic Combined, I don't know why that even exists) I tried to watch and like Ice hockey but it's just not my taste I still watch the gold medal match.

this's becoming really boring , but i honestly blame Australian authorities more than Novak , if they told him from beginning it's either being vaccinated or never this wouldn't happen

Or maybe if you claim to have tested positive you shouldn't attend public events where everyone can take photos of you, and then cry because the big bad Aussies don't believe you.

On the topic of the Australian Open (if we're allowed to talk about this yet ), it looks like we will have the most Greeks ever at a Grand Slam tournament. We had 5 Greeks across all categories at the 2021 US Open, I think that might have been the previous record until now. As long as nobody withdraws, we have 7 Greeks so far and possibly 8 (if Petros Tsitsipas gets another doubles wildcard ). Stefanos Tsitsipas in men's main draw and Theodoros Mitsakos in boys' qualifying, Maria Sakkari in women's main draw, Valentini Grammatikopoulou and Despina Papamichail in women's qualifying, Michaela Laki in girls' main draw, and Dimitra Pavlou in girls' qualifying. At the 2014 US Open we had zero representatives in any category, so it's nice to see how much progress we have made since then. Also interesting to note that Pavlou is Sakkari's first cousin and this will be her first time at a Grand Slam.

@bestmen Should i be betting on Algeria winning the tournament, or is the streak coming to an end

Yay, we got a spot 5th straight Winter Games we have an athlete in luge.

Jozef Ninis qualified for his 5th Olympics 2006 - 22nd 2010 - 24th 2014 - 20th 2018 - 25th let´s hope for a nice top 20 before the retirement. Still remembering how good he started In PC 2018 when he was 7th after 1st run, but sadly crashed in the 2nd and then just kept on that 25th

Eisenbichler DSQ for suit in 2nd round...Has such thing already happened in 2nd round ever ?

Ragnhild Femsteivenik won todays W sprint in osrblie ahead of Guigonnat of (Gilonne) and Juni Arkenleiv 2 Biathletes from competed, both with 5 misses each finished 14 and 17 minutes behind Among mens for the surprise of nobody Aleksander Andersen won, Nikita Porshnev and Ilnaz Mukhamedzianov of finished 2nd and 3rd 3x this time one of them beat and

What happened to this Estonian team this year, they are incredible ! From rather mediocre team they are now suddenly able to ski super fast a la Veerpalu/Smigun golden times era and shoot clean and quick like never

Everyone knows Djokovic's lawyers will try to find a plausible excuse. Well, the first attempt kinda failed. Let's see what they come up with tomorrow

Yeah, but they revised the qualification system. Max 7 results count. https://www.ibsf.org/images/documents/downloads/OWG_-_YOG/Beijing_2022_-_Qualification_System_-_Bobsleigh_V1.6.pdf

Liensberger and Goggia out of 2nd round In other hand Jelinková very likely in !

She is aiming for the 2026 Olympics, where she would be... 42.

Maryna Gasienica-Daniel is back on the Kranjska Gora GS start-list.

US Nationals, women's single Mariah Bell, at the ripe old age of 25, won her first senior nationals. She is the oldest women to win in 95 years, and in all likelihood she will be the oldest American women to compete in women's single at the Olympics since 1928. Again, at the ancient age of 25. Karen Chen finished second and is also virtually guaranteed a spot at the Olympics. Isabeau Levito finished third, but is not age eligible for the Olympics. Gabriella Izzo, in fourth, is the third highest ranked age-eligible competitor. The last spot on the Olympic team will likely come down to her or Alysa Liu.

Canadian Nationals, day 1 (Short program / rhythm dance) Men's Single (2 quotas available) Keegan Messing (84.38) Wesley Chiu (81.47) Joseph Phan (78.14) Roman Sadovsky (77.17) Corey Circelli (76.64) Bennet Toman (72.83) Nam Nguyen (71.27) Women's Single (1 quota available) Madeline Schizas (72.05) Véronik Mallet (59.35) Gabrielle Daleman (58.48) Michelle Long (57.14) Emily Bausback (56.82) Alison Schumacher (56.38) Katherine Medland-Spence (55.74) Pairs (2 quotas available) Kirsten Moore-Towers / Michael Marinaro (73.02) Evelyn Walsh / Trennt Michaud (66.88) Deanna Stellato-Dudek / Maxime Deschamps (63.54) (AFAIK Stellato-Dudek does not have Canadian citizenship) Vanessa James / Eric Radford (63.33) Lori-Ann Matte / Thierry Ferland (60.13) Patricia Andrew / Steven Adcock (56.37) Kelly Ann Laurin / Loucas Éthier (49.93) Ice Dance (3 quotas available) Piper Gilles / Paul Poirier (86.98) Laurence Fournier-Beaudry / Nikolaj Sørensen (81.04) Marjorie Lajoie / Zachary Lagha (76.67) Carolane Soucisse / Shane Firus (72.55) Marie-Jade Lauriault / Romain Le Gac (71.29) Haley Sales / Nikolas Wamsteeker (70.00) Molly Lanaghan / Dmitre Razgulajevs (67.51) Very close battles for the second spots in the men's single and the pairs event (and Messing is far from certain from being in the top two). Biggest dissapointment of the day was Nguyen, who is retiring at the end of the season. He had a really bad fall on his 3A which completly ruined his program. Very happy that Fournier-Beaudry / Sørensen, formerly of , will very likely finally make their Olympic debut. Also worth noting that Lauriault / Le Gac competed for at the 2018 Olympics.

Sidney Poitier was the first Black actor to win in a lead Oscar category - this lead distinction is rather important here because Poitier was the true lead of the film and an all around movie star. There's a lot to unpack with Hattie McDaniel's Oscar win - yes, she was the first black person to win an Oscar, but the role was very stereotypical of the mamie stereotype and when she attended the Oscars she was relegated to the back of the room.

World number 1 in the women's 500m Erin Jackson is OUT of the Olympics after finishing third at US Olympic trials! Same top two as in the 1000m, Brittany Bowe first and Kimi Goetz second.

…Marion Jones literally went to prison.

https://tv.orf.at/program/orf1/index.html p.s. you need a vpn (in German, it's Nordische Kombination, it was at 12.45 p.m. CET, just scroll down today's schedule)...

http://cdn.freestreams-live1.com/eurosport1-poland/ Eurosport Poland is airing replay now (probably some of the other versions too). This site has many channels, you can just have to check the schedule to see, when will Eurosport air Nordic combined.

I remember winning gold in the women’s skeleton in Salt Lake City after an unauthorised sweeping break between the second-last and last (American) athlete.

Drama in Winterberg... German team protested sweeping protocol on their own track!! Run 1 got cancelled after everyone got down. Germans were not very happy with the results. Anyways, now we have a restart, one heat race, with at least 8 non-German sliders deciding to boycott.

Huge upset at the US trials.. Erin Jackson had a slip on the backstretch and finishes outside of the top 2 for the 500m. She will miss the Olympics barring some crazy circumstance

Victor Muffat-Jeandet broke his right ankle The team is furious about todays race
