What about in an Olympic discipline?

Two of my favourite teams playing in the women’s final, rooting for Homan but mainly hoping for a great game

Big Air WC Beijing | Beijing, China Men Gold- Hiroto Ogiwara (169.50) Silver- Ian Matteoli (165.50) Bronze- Yang Wenlong (159.25) Wenlong with his first career WC podium! Pretty surprising to see all of the favourites finish in the bottom three positions Women Gold- Mia Brookes (179.75) Silver- Mari Fukada (176.75) Bronze- Anna Gasser (169.00) Brookes with her first career WC victory?!? Had to double check, because that statistic didn’t seem right at first. Full Results

Thanks

Bronze for Isabelle Weidemann in the women’s 3000m and silver for Valerie Maltais in the women’s mass start at the ISU Beijing WC! Blondin was DQ’d in the mass start FYI.

Schulting with her first career WC podium in speed skating, with silver in the 2nd 500m!

Parallel Slalom WC Mylin | Mylin, China Men Gold- Maurizio Bormolini Silver- Benjamin Karl Bronze- Gabriel Messner Women Gold- Sabine Payer Silver- Miki Tsubaki Bronze- Julie Zogg Full Results

And Gaudet eliminates Prommeger immediately after!

Pink takes down the ever consistent Lee by 0.03

Big Air WC Beijing | Beijing, China Women Gold- Tess Ledeux (168.25) Silver- Sarah Hoefflin (163.00) Bronze- Flora Tabanelli (159.50) Men Gold- Leo Landroe (183.00) Silver- Miro Tabanelli (182.25) Bronze- Dylan Deschamps (181.00) A great day for the Tabanelli siblings, with both of them on the podium! Full Results

Bronze for Dylan Deschamps in men’s big air at the Beijing WC. Honestly not quite sure how to feel about it… Harrington had a higher combined score than him and tied for the lead at 183.00 and yet somehow finished in 4th?

91.75 + 92.25 is 183.00, is it not?? Harrington should be tied for the lead alongside Frostad, and not 4th? WTF, I’m so confused…

Really exciting men’s competition

Another WC podium for Flora Tabanelli

I’ll start first; Obviously, @brunamoura in cross country skiing if she qualifies (no pressure) and Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo. Curling: Team Hasselborg and Team Edin, Kaldvee/Lill, and to a lesser extent Team Fujisawa and Team Schwaller Ice Hockey: Elias Pettersson/Elias Lindholm, Pius Suter, Arturs Silovs/Teddy Blueger, whichever Canucks are on United States’ men’s team, Filip Hronek and Finland’s men’s team if Lankinen can keep up his good play (Even though he’s probably going to get traded from the Canucks after this season, he prefers being on a team where he can get more starts than more money. Still I have a soft spot for him) Alpine Skiing: Marco Odermatt, Aleksandr Aamodt Kilde, AJ Ginnis, and to a slightly lesser extent Johannes Strolz Freestyle Skiing: Jakara Anthony, Birk Ruud, Sina Sigenthaler, Ryan Regez, Kelly Sildaru (for more reasons than one), Eileen Gu Snowboarding: Leon Ulbricht, Marcus Kleveland, Anna Gasser, Benjamin Karl, Zoi Sadowski-Synnott Ski Mountaineering: Oriol Cardona Coll and that’s it for now… Speed Skating: Jutta Leerdam, Jordan Stolz, Marten Liiv, Bart Swings Luge: Thomas Steu/Wolfgang Kindl, Tobias Wendl/Tobias Arlt From a Canadian perspective, I’m rooting for our men’s hockey team above all. Then, our curling teams, especially Team Homan if she wins Olympic Trials. Then Max Parrot, Mikael Kingsbury, Eliot Grondin, William Dandjinou, our women’s hockey team, and our ski cross squad. But really I’ll be rooting for all of our athletes. I like Hammerle, but I’ll be rooting against him at the Olympics
