Jacquelin down in 6th.

Jacquelin throws the gold away with one miss. He will probably battle MF for bronze now.

Loginov 7 secs ahead... looking good.

Loginov 10/10! France will be sweating now.

Tarjei goes 3rd. No medal for JTB.

Yes, but it's clear JTB's first lap was waaay too fast. Antholz ain't Ruhpolding

MF looks cooked. Losing time to QFM.

Pidruchnyi will be on Watts

JTB might be out of medals since his brother goes 10/10.

If QFM outraces JTB on ski speed alone that will be a major upset! Fourcade 10/10 and I wonder if he puts the turbo on the last lap?

Karol Dombrovski 9/10 and missed the last shot! I predict he will be the best Pole at the finish

He knows more about Dominik's house tbh since he stayed there "a hundred of times"

Unless JTB dies on the last lap then Fourcade looks unlikely to win even with 10/10.

Polish Eurosport going away - Kuehn shooting but Tomasz Sikora talking about Dominik Windisch girlfriend's house

One miss for JTB.

Slovenians sure used some inside knowledge of the Podkoren. Robnik finishing ahead of Brignone is a surprise

Alice Robinson put the hammer down in the 2nd run! Vlhova only 2nd!

Olsbu is actually a very safe pick for a medal. I ruled Tandrevold out. The biggest crapshoot are the French women IMO. I have Braisaz winning one medal. Let's see how that goes. I gave up on Makarainen here, no medals in my picks. And always a good bet for Oeberg in the individual

I kinda envisioned Italians flopping more than Norwegians (as in no gold medals for the hosts) I picked Olsbu to win the mass start so she better keeps this up for the second week

What are the three most popular countries for inline skating? Italy, Netherlands and Belgium? Given how Italy tends to produce some world class skaters (mainly in short track these days) I suppose France is really behind the eightball. I don't recall any world class skater on the long track in the XXI century and even your short track team is not as impressive as it could have been.

Could have been worse. I wonder how many people predicted double Eckhoff gold in sprint & pursuit!

Nobody mentioned it but Milena Todorova finished 27th with only one miss. She scored a total of 2 points in her World Cup career to date (39th in Ostersund individual this season).

I suspect he predicted gold for Olsbu and silver & bronze for "Any Other Athlete"

What helps British skeleton is the fact the country itself is basically non-existent in winter sports. Therefore it's easier to get some funding if you show just the smallest hint of potential. It's completely different in summer sports, even in core UK events like athletics or cycling where pretty good athletes are left out in the cold because they are "too old" at age 26 or a Top 6 result is considered "below par". Anyone from UK who gets a Top 10 in winter sport is probably considered a big talent though I read about some issues for the bobsleigh team last year?

Several of the big guns missing a ton of targets contributed to some second tier athletes overperforming. Sadly that wasn't the case for Kamila Zuk who missed four in the prone before going clear in the stands. One of these days she will hit 10/10. Btw, Tomasz Sikora said yesterday Olsbu had her rifle repaired before the WChamps since somtething was wrong with it. Guess whatever they did, it worked pretty well
