    At least a dozen top Russian athletes have been tested........0 times in the first ten months of October :roflmao:

    http://www.espn.com/olympics/story/_/id/21417333/at-least-one-dozen-top-russian-winter-sports-athletes-were-not-tested-russian-anti-doping-agency-first-10-months-2017

     

    Including someone like Kulizhnikov who was banned while being a semi-interesting junior and absolutely dominated sprinting all of a sudden after his ban.

     

    I mean, I understand RUSADA: if nobody uses doping, you don't need to test, so that's easy :d 

     

    Not surprised. I'd bet quite a lot of money he is doping rght now!

    Chaos, mayhem and riots! The Dutch men finished 10th in the team pursuit in the Heerenveen World Cup :lol:

     

    Jorrit Bergsma, the fucker-up of team pursuits, was selected for the team and he was the one who, surprise, fucked things up :d 

     

    Hopefully he's never selected again, at least not in races that really matter. 

    Not good for Olympic qualification standings.... also :NZL in third :yikes:

    Winter Olympic Games 2018 Debuting, Coming Back, Returning and Missing Nations

    Not 100% sure on this but...

     

    Cheyenne Goh of :SGP is into the semifinals (top 23) of the women's 1500m at the Shanghai World Cup. 17th place got 281 points last round. If that is the same case here and Goh isn't disqualified she would up to 24th overall in the 1500m standings (granted all other athlete's points would need to be added, but she likely would still be in the top 36 needed to qualify).

    I'm sorry, but you'll never prove to me that this is quality music:

    [Chorus]
    Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang (Gucci gang)
    Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang (Gucci gang)

     

    Ah yes, very promising lyrics indeed.

    I got 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 M's in my bank account, yeah (On God)
    In my bank account, yeah (On God)
    In my bank account, yeah (On God)
    In my bank account, yeah (On God)
    In my bank account, yeah (On God)
    In my bank account, yeah (On God)

     

    As well as songs like Rockstar, Bodak Yellow and others of this genre. As a song-writer and lyricist, this fucking effortless shit is insulting.

     

    Edit: I also remembered the "mumble rappers" where you don't understand a single word they say/sing and yet are still famous af.

     

     

    Sorry (no offence intended) but your taste in music is bad (in my opinion)... I thought the Lithuanian song for this edition was the worst song entered from all the songs I have listened for all iterations of this contest.

    In this case, I doubt it, it's not like the women's 30km in itself is new or something :p 

    "

    The Organising Committee, POCOG, has a bigger focus on gender equality and has decided the Women’s Curling and Cross Country events will be decided on the final day of competition.

    Previously, the Men’s events held sway on the final day of both the Winter and Summer Games."

    no, not at all...

    just a short list...

    Alpine Skiing

    1 medal between Women's Downhill and Women's Super-G (mainly by Goggia, but she's not the only hope we have)

    1 medal (if not 2) in Women's Giant Slalom (we have 4 real medal threats there)

    1 medal among all the men's events (Fill, Innerhofer, Paris in the speed disciplines and Gross, Moelgg in Slalom) and/or the team event

    Cross-Country Skiing

    1 medal (probably our best chance for Gold) from Pellegrino/Noeckler in the Men's Team Sprint

    Biathlon

    at least 2 medals (we are very competitive in all the women's events and in the mixed relay...and we can't count Hofer out in the Pursuit and/or Mass start events)

    Snowboard

    1 medal in Women's Snowboardcross (Moioli above all, probably our second best chance to win Gold)

    1 medal between Men's Snowboardcross (our team is second to none, in my opinion) and/or the PGS events (especially the guys, all of them)

    Short Track

    1 medal in the Women's 500m (mainly Fontana, but also Valcepina has chances)

    Speedskating

    1 medal between Men's and Women's Mass Start (Giovannini, Francolini, Tumulero and Lollobrigida are all capable of that...especially if the men's Dutch team will mess it up because of their internal rivalries) and/or Men's Team Pursuit

    Figure Skating

    Carolina Kostner (and no...once again, I'm not drunk...with some of the Russians already out of the Games, she's still the 3rd best in the world right now behind Medvedeva and Yu-Na Kim -if she does show up in Pyeongchang)...but this is just a lottery because of the nature of the sport and because of corruption between judges)

     

    as you see, we're already at 10 (if not 11 or 12) and I've been very realistic, without any Pindaric flight (and I could add even K-Fischnaller in the Men's Singles in Luge, but this would be a very optimistic rather than realistic preview)...

    and if you want to be particularly optimistic, in Biathlon and Alpine Skiing we could win even more medals than what I wrote (but this would need some unbelievable luck on that given fortnight)...;)

    I think 2-6 is realistic for Italy. Your predictions are really optimistic.
