I've never read so much bullshit in one post before...

I don't think Mercedes put that much attention to wind tunnel results when following another car. They expect to be up front and rightfully so. But the dirty air influence remains the biggest F1 problem and it hasn't been solved. You must count on a driver error to get a solid shot at overtaking. This isn't the manual clutch and gear lever thing anymore. With so much electronics on the cars, drivers are less prone to make an error.

They got very lucky with the Safety Car and you just can't overtake in dirty air in modern F1. On pace alone, they got their butts kicked.

For the record, here are all the high bib winners in WC history. Piero Gros, Chantal Bournissen, Renate Goetschl & Anja Paerson won two World Cups with bibs of 30+.
 

She already said that's her goal.

Josef Strobl won DH in Val d'Isere 1994 with bib 61. I remember watching that race live on Eurosport since Strobl won a training run and the coverage extended all the way until his run.
 

At least they DQ-ed Wumbui  

It rather speaks how badly the German speed skating has fallen off in this decade when there is no one who can dislodge a woman old enoigh to be a grandmother from the Olympic line-up. It's very un-German like to lose the plot in an event which used to bring you so much success.

It's confirmed, season over for Popović.

Yeeeesss Perrine ! 
I missed it  (and biathlon)
I remember seeing her for the first time in Sochi when she was only 15 and now 4 years later she's Olympic champion 

Congrats ! this result just made my day

Out at the bar with an American friend watching and he randomly picks the "French one" and the "Cool looking green one" while I, in my infinite knowledge of the sport go with my Canadian girls.  He ends up with gold and bronze, me silver.  
 
Congrats to all involved, it was a high performance final!

In Cesena we have an (unused) starting track... very unless. Our atlete go to do their training in Igls (Austria)
The Stadio del Trampolino is again open

Most exciting moment of the Games for me so far. Awesome!!!

Scanzio missing the final for 1 little spot

Scanzio is the 1st eliminated  Very, very sad

Aaaaaand he's gone...
 
Fourcade with a highway to gold now...

If the competiiton was moved to another day and Hula/Stoch would finish where they did, Polish media would still bitch about that decision too. It was a no-win situation for the organizers but surprise, surprise, nature always wins the tug-of-war with humans. Hula really only has himself to blame.

This is ridiculous, everyone except for the Germans and Norwegians will complain about the wind. Ski jumping is the most weather-affected event and that will never change. There was a big debate before the wind compensations were introduced and now they're also wrong? Sheesh... there was a time nobody measured the wind.
 
Hula blew up mentally, this much is evident to me. Wellinger and Johansson took advantage of the conditions and were rewarded. The media hype in Poland is downright pathetic, I can't even listen to TVP coverage anymore.
 
The FIS delegate said that after the 1st round they did everything they could to finish the competition. So postponing the 2nd round was never an option. And that's correct. It's the Olympic Games, there is a big schedule and wind-affected competitions are old news.
