Sport = The IF, any events under that IF =discipline.

They dropped slalom because when it was originally added it was a one time deal for Russia.

Fantastic result for Shawn Barber

Where do I start with this one I have been fascinated with the Olympics since 2002!! (I was 9 years old at the time). Back then our middle school had video announcements, so during the 2002 Winter Olympics we would record the results of the Olympics and then this would be played throughout the school. At the time I was a young person who really did not understand the magnitude of the Olympic games.Ever since then I have watched every Olympics (religiously, at hours only dedicated fans like us would wake up to do so) till 2016. Around the Rio Olympics I applied to be a volunteer at the 2018 Winter Olympics and I was officially accepted as one in early 2017. These would be the first Olympics I got to see in person! As a volunteer my accommodation was located in Sokcho, which was in the northeast part of the country. The only problem I noticed with the operations was the lack of English speaking and transportation could have been better. However, with pretty much everything being covered for you, this was a great experience! Perhaps a Totallympics team can be in Tokyo and onward as volunteers I was able to see the following events: -Mixed doubles curling gold medal match (free volunteer ticket) -Canada vs USA Women's hockey preliminary match -Canada vs Korea Men's hockey preliminary match -Short track speed skating sessions on the 17th and 20th - thank you to a friend at the ISU for those tickets! I also went to Beijing and Tokyo, so I got to see the next 2 host cities as well Great of Wall of China Seoraksan National Park, Republic of Korea

Ill join

They will reject. Canada has already selected men's field hockey and women's rugby

Last I checked I had no control over why these cities withdrew

Just returned back home today. What an incredible experience and I encourage everyone remotely interested in the Olympics to attend one in person!

Yea I agree with basketball. Its much tougher now to qualify. Also missing out in handball seems impossible on paper, but it always comes down to a one game playoff (most likely against Argentina, who might pull off the upset). Colombia is investing a lot into their women's rugby team and they might pull of the upset.

What ??

I wonder if FiL and IBSF hace approved of it?

This sign was at Haneda when I passed through yesterday. One games finished onto the next... https://imgur.com/lZiTvwb

My comment had nothing to do with atmosphere. Look at 2022 bid process. Many cities withdrew because of Sochi's cost. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/olympics/2014/10/28/stockholm-regrets-withdrawal-of-2022-games-bid/18057133/

Sochi's artifical $51 billion dollar games were the worst games ever. They runied the Olympics and no one wants the games because of them.

Wow 26 4th and 5th places for the Usa

Congrats Germany on the silver!! I hope this grows the sport in the country.

Again... Beckie Scott was robbed of her glory by two disgusting Russian cheaters in 2002. Please take a minute to review the facts.

One more silver for Japan and Korea off the top 10

Serwa is the defending silver medalist and one of those athletes who could fight for gold. In ski cross the list of faves is longer due to the unpredictability of the event.

All of Canada's golds were not surprising (maybe Leman's)

Dw in time he will be silver medalist

The wind

11 golds = best non-home games for Canada
