  1. DH guys won't survive the bottom part. Just kill this event right now...
  2. Pinturault only 0,24 ahead of Hadalin. No way this is good enough for gold...
  3. @Olympian1010 Okay, since talking Iron Mountain in a biathlon thread makes no sense, I checked back and it turns out they held the Continental Cup there this weekend. The World Cup is set to return on 22nd/23rd February 2020.
  4. Since the US nordic combined went downhill over the last decade I thought these hills are gonna die like Thunder Bay in Canada? Steamboat Springs is probably still running and I wonder about the Lake Placid Olympic complex? I saw some Continental Cup in Iron Mountain ca. 3-4 years ago but that seemed very odd. World Cup hardly travels outside Europe other than Japan and the second tier goes to USA?
  5. Well, the alpine skiing rounds are held there before the actual European part starts. It's good that any biathlon competition is held in America even though that's like once every 5 seasons. However ski jumping World Cup is scheduled to return to Iron Mountain in two years time? I thought they demolished that hill ages ago?
  6. Yeah, Khanty-Mansiysk was usually the coldest venue in first place (sometimes Kontiolahti) and between them & Tyumen it's a rotten location in the middle of Siberian freeze too. Talk about pot calling kettle black...
  7. All speed events shortened. This first week would have been all but forgotten save for Svindal & Vonn bowing out with medals. And now it's Shiffrin & Hirscher showtime coming up next I just hope this medal doesn't change Vonn's mind again...
  8. How many of them attended X Games though? Is this a case of Grand Slam vs Olympic gold in tennis? Plus several athletes usually take the post-Olympic season off or X Games actually still rule in this sport?
  9. Polish media are milking Maliszewska's success and it's almost forgotten her older sister was projected to be a star in first place until a broken leg hijacked her career. Meanwhile Natalia was kicked off the national team in 2016 and stayed in the sport due to devoted people in her club over in Bialystok. Such BS is only possible in Polish sports
  10. Bowe's winning margin is really impressive! Zbigniew Brodka hints this could be his last international race. He didn't get a special bye from the State Fire Service this season and this probably won't change going forward so he doesn't see how he can continue being an elite skater anymore.
  11. Dwain Chambers DQ in the 60m SF at National Indoors so his bid for Indoor Worlds is over.
  12. And Maliszewska clinches the 500m standings with 1 race to go. Now that Kowalczyk has retired from World Cup, Maliszewska gets the most coverage from winter sports' women - even more than the biathletes
  13. Some justice for Sildaru after the slopestyle cancellation!
  14. Germany didn't win any medals so obviously the level was trash This event didn't get past the OlympicsFan approval rating
  15. Due to Kinga Zbylut's illness the Poland women's relay will be a DNS.
  16. Good thing the combined is gone. Another Super G course bullshit for this event. Siebenhofer probably lost a medal because of this, she did much better than expected in the slalom. This event is so favoring the technical skiers it's broderline criminal. Good riddance and thumbs up for Shiffrin & Hirscher ignoring it. The proper way to die.
  17. 20 km for men will definitely suit the Latin American walkers which usually did better in 20k than 50k. Besides it's all about TV, 4 hours time frame for 50k walk probably drove everyone nuts. Olympics are just a TV puppet now. I wonder when will they remove the marathon from OG next?
  18. NBC started the trend though so they are the ones to blame.
  19. Yeah, well, that figures. One TV station dictates the world what to do. They'll probably do so with the swimming too?
  20. Violation of Rule 5.6.f which reads: Modifying equipment, rifle or clothing, which has been inspected and marked at start inspection, in a prohibited way.
  21. Some strange results for the Czech team behind Davidova, Vitkova 1 miss but 6:51 m behind and Puskarcikova 7 misses & 7:45 behind?
  22. Kamila Zuk 9 misses. This is so bad it's actually hilarious Davidova is beating her into a fucking submission...
  23. Eckhoff wins by 10 secs. Some last lap!
