Oh well I can't even laugh at this because Netherlands aren't winning 14/14 ,the maximum could be 8 and realistic 6-7G. No US isn't dominating snowboard at all. Japan, Czech Republic, Austria were some of nations who won gold among those events I watched.And ice hockey is a team sport where I don't mind any 1 team dominating.

Sliding sports have become Unwatchable now I think we need a rule Similiar to youth Olympic Games. One nation can participate in any 2 events each in luge and bob and 1 in skeleton. But the events they participate they can have 3 in that if they qualify. It's crazy but has put a lot of money in technology making their sleds the best in the world. Time for to break the dominance today it's tough despite the lead if German wins again I don't plan to watch any sliding in future except the Sigulda World Cups every season.

What do you think will be the winning margin ? 0.5s ?1s? 2s

So how's everything going on in the country? Excited for tomorrow? Have the celebrations begun?

Our very own Petra Vhlova Closest to her maybe Shiffrin and out side chance.

I didn't say Finland is better than sweden but Sweden v Finland for gold in women's team sprint classical then maybe Russia, Norway, US. And why they didn't come today perhaps saving energy for a event they are one of the favourites for on Thursday

since it's independence in 1994 won a medal in speed skating at 1994 edition. Then onwards they have won in only 2 disciplines - Aerials and Biathlon They are not having the right waxes this time around I guess. So individual and maybe an outside chance in mass start for medal else no medal these games. Alimbekava missed it yesterday luckily Smolski has done it today. If the Olympics would be in Austria and biathlon in Hochfilzen Smolski would have won gold by around 1-1:30 mins advantage coz they train there ample opportunity to research on the best waxes.

I thought Finland is favoured in the classic events along with Sweden due to Matintalo / Parmakoski / Niskanen

The chinese can still say that others came on their way causing obstruction 😂

Exactly.. From 5 golds and 17 medals getting 0 in next edition unbelievable

Personal best excellent Kagayam 108 Then Nathan

Oh ok. I had this doubt from 2018.. And what about the protest I hope it gets upheld.

Why does the name sound Chinese

Women's 500m was good. But please don't put a short track poll again I don't want to guess because we all know china may do anything to win. I was watching short track with my friends and we were really amazed by the Korean guy's move and for us Hwang will always be the Olympic champion. Now the interest is going coz we kinda know that if you are behind the Chinese u will get penalty if you overtake them but if they overtake you they won't be given any penalty. Great justice.

Well yeah Roiseland and Eckhoff were almost a minute better than next best. It was more clear today .

I kinda felt Perine Laffont may not win gold after Kingsbury didn't. Looks like World Cup leader's Bib was not really lucky for either of them in the event

Oh well I missed this would have gone with Klaebo anyway but I really want a non Norwegian winner

Biathlon was poorly presented overall . I then remembered that even I don't like biathlon at Olympics it was just that I watched a world cup when I was bored during pandemic and I found it awesome and enjoyed the sport. Short Track meanwhile hit the bullseye. Awesome sport, lots of surprises , fun and all my friends whom I forced to watch asked for it's complete schedule and future tournaments... The TV channel broadcasting the games here has utilized the free time caused by no downhill to show short track replay from yesterday .

Just checked accuweather, wind will be stronger at 2pm and will last till 5pm

The biathlon I watched didn't feel like Biathlon at all. If the right things are not told half of the interest is gone. I just hope the individual races will be nicer, Norway seem to be winning the rest of them with that ski speed.

Yeah it was on both olympic channel and TV channel. First they only were comparing the teams with 2018 Olympics performance then from great difficulty had some stats from the season, she has 5 podiums, he has 3 podiums blah blah.. I bet they knew nothing in detail abt the World Cups or the athletes except for who are brothers who are the sisters competing today.

Wierer was very good in Antholz with good ski speed and shooting then today there's nothing of it at all. Perhaps she peaked early with her ski form same with Hana Sola who has gone downhill after Oberhof.

The way Eckhoff made 14s each loop on Wierer or the performance of Roiseland or JT Boe is not good at all. It might make the sport booring.

Points to be noted at the end of 1st biathlon event : 1. Terrible Graphics 2. Poor commentary 3. Not so good looking course 4. Norway may dominate again thanks to their superior ski speed

That was a terrible comparison. Archery World Cups and World Champs are followed by a huge proportion of people in the world across asia and in bits in colombia and Europe and rest of Americas. Moreover archery scoring is crystal clear and easy unlike slopestyle, halfpipe, big air.
