Blais wins gold in the women’s 1000m in Beijing, taking down some big names, what an upset Sarault makes the A-final in her return from injury, finishing in 5th.

Silver for William Dandjinou in the men’s 1500m at the ISU Beijing WC. Never thought I’d be disappointed with a silver, he’s been spoiling us a lot with his performances lately. Other news, Boutin failed to advance to the women’s 1000m quarterfinals and Sarault is finally back from her injury.

And, DNI is back…

Brooke McIntosh, Summer’s sister, is apparently now representing Guess Spain naturalized her, because I’m pretty sure she has no connection to the country…

New WR of 2:35.427 for our mixed 2000m relay at the ISU Beijing WC!

Maia Schwinghammer also won bronze in women’s moguls, for her first career WC podium in moguls!

Mikael Kingsbury with WC victory #92, with gold in men’s moguls at the Idre Fjall WC!

Silver for Eleanor Harvey in women’s foil at the Vancouver WC!

Paolo Nicolai (beach volleyball)

Fair enough.

I’ll for sure be watching, but does this really need it’s own thread? I’m sure at most 5-7 users on here will be watching it, and we can discuss it on the main NHL thread

Four Nations Face Off rosters have been announced. Canada Forwards: Sam Bennett (FLA), Anthony Cirelli (TBL), Sidney Crosby (PIT), Brandon Hagel (TBL), Seth Jarvis (CAR), Travis Konecny (PHI), Nathan MacKinnon (COL), Brad Marchand (BOS), Mitch Marner (TOR), Connor McDavid (EDM), Sam Reinhart (FLA), Mark Stone (VGK) Defenseman: Cale Makar (COL), Josh Morrisey (WPG), Colton Parayko (STL), Alex Pietrangelo (VGK), Travis Sandheim (PHI), Shea Theadore (VGK), Devon Toews (COL) Goalies: Jordan Binnington (STL), Adin Hill (VKG), Sam Montembeault (MTL) United States Forwards: Matt Boldy (MIN), Kyle Connor (WPG), Jack Eichel (VGK), Jake Guentzel (TBL), Jack Hughes (NJD), Chris Kreider (NYR), Dylan Larkin (DET), Auston Matthews (TOR), JT Miller (VAN), Brock Nelson (NYI), Brady Tkachuk (OTT), Matthew Tkachuk (FLA), Vincent Trocheck (NYR) Defenseman: Brock Faber (MIN), Quinn Hughes (VAN), Adam Fox (NYR), Noah Hanifin (VGK), Charlie McAvoy (BOS), Jaccob Slavin (CAR), Zach Werenski (CBJ) Goalies: Connor Hellybuyck (WPG), Jake Oettinger (DAL), Jeremy Swayman (BOS) No Cole Caufield or Tage Thompson Finland Forwards: Sebastian Aho (CAR), Joel Armia (MTL), Aleksander Barkov (FLA), Roope Hintz (DAL), Kappo Kakko (NYR), Eric Haula (NJD), Patrik Laine (MTL), Artturi Lehkonen (COL), Eetu Luostarinen (FLA), Mikko Rantanen (COL), Teuvo Taravainen (CHI), Anton Lundell (FLA) Defenseman: Jani Hakanpaa (TOR), Miro Heiskanen (DAL), Esa Lindell (DAL), Niko Mikkola (FLA), Olli Maatta (UTA), Rasmus Ristolainen (PHI), Juuso Valimaki (UTA) Goalies: Juuse Saros (NSH), Kevin Lankinen (VAN), Ukko-Pekka (BUF) Sweden Forwards: Viktor Arvidsson (EDM), Jesper Bratt (NJD), Leo Carlsson (ANA), Joel Eriksson Ek (MIN), Filip Forsberg (NSH), William Karlsson (VGK), Adrian Kempe (LAK), Elias Lindholm (BOS), William Nylander (TOR), Gustav Nyquist (NSH), Lucas Raymond (DET), Elias Pettersson (VAN), Mika Zibanejad (NYR) Defenseman: Rasmus Andersson (CGY), Jonas Brodin (MIN), Rasmus Dahlin (BUF), Mattias Ekholm (EDM), Gustav Forsling (FLA), Erik Karlsson (PIT), Viktor Hedman (TBL) Goalies: Filip Gustavsson (MIN), Jacob Markstrom (NJD), Linus Ullmark (OTT) Kraken and Capitals are the only teams to go unrepresented. For Canada, Parayko over Weegar is certainly a choice, and I would’ve put Thompson over Montembeault. For Sweden, no Eklund or Zetterlund? I believe Eklund has 23 points on the season in 27 games.

Oh yeah, completely forgot

Czech Republic with a win in snowboarding? Huh???

Oh right, completely forgot

Team Homan win their 2nd Slam in a row at the GSOC Kioti National, defeating Hasselborg 7-6 in the final!

Sighel being the male athlete of the games for Italy is also wishful thinking with how dominant the Canadian men are at the moment Nothing Fontana has shown either that would prove she could be among the women to watch in long track speed skating.

GSOC Kioti National | Saint Johns, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada Men 1. Team Mouat 2. Team Jacobs 3. Team McEwen 3. Team Whyte Team Mouat have now won the first 3 slams to start the season, and keep their hope for a Grand Slam alive. They’d be the first team to ever achieve that feat. Women 1. Team Homan 2. Team Hasselborg 3. Team Kim 3. Team Einarson Team Homan were 5-2 down entering the 6th end and somehow managed to find a way to win. Now 40-2 on the season, including 5 titles, and are 107-9 in their last 116 games. Incredible consistency. Full Results

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
