    That’s the best part of it: local talent, with Mexican coach, training (undeservedly) at a rink in a mall.
     
    And he gets to skate the free. What a joy

    After the scandal of this morning, where the technical director Rinaldi asked Marsaglia to fake an injury to make Casse participate, he should only have the dignity to be silent ...

    Four years waiting for Donovan to have his moment and he gave a solid performance, with a small mistake in his jump combination though.
     
    Very proud of him

    The real hope is that it will convince the Alberta, BC, Ontario and federal governments to renovate the Calgary Olympic park jumps, renovate Big Thunder and create smaller training jumps in Whistler. Having places in Canada where you can even do the sport, both recreationally and later at an elite level, is even more important than funding the national team.

    This was the funding situation for Ski Jumping  Canada vs the rest of the sports. I think a medal will definitely help!

    I feel for you Canadians, you got more than a fair share of bad luck in alpine skiing, but I have to admit I teared up when Clarey crossed the finish line.
     
    In case you are wandering how these low level Chinese skiers qualified for downhill, they did it by cheating the same way Jamaica and Co. did.
     
    What about that giant slalom? That must have been the most boring GS track I have ever seen. Too short as well. Weird snow.

    Yeah, the Day 1 drama after skiathlon & mixed biathlon relay seems to be gone already
     
    Reminds me when Italians complained about first week in Tokyo SOG and then couldn't stop winning golds in the second week

    DSQ for suits is always a grey area and the unofficial word is that top nation jumpers never get DSQ unless they don't have a chance for a medal anyway. I'd guess someone told the tech delegate (who was a Pole for the women) to play hardball by the rules this time.

    Ski Jumping Canada is based in Calgary, but its national team operates out of Slovenia, a hotspot for the sport. Loutitt lives in Bled, while Strate, Soukup, Boyd-Clowes, Eilers and Nicole Maurer are in Kranj, about 30 minutes away. They all train together in Planica and compete all over Europe and Asia.
     
    Feels like we won two medals today.

    There have been attempts to revive it over the years and nothing ever comes out of it. As recently as 2020: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/thunder-bay/thunder-bay-steve-collins-ski-jumping-1.5801567

    Actually Russia with the new complexes in Nizhny-Tagil, Chaikovski and Sochi (if they still use those lol) are showing a good improvement. Their results here, if generally unexpected are not that big of a shock. The men are doing points in the regular WC more often this season. I could see them garnering a middle of the pack position ala Slovenia or Japan in a few years.
