Aigro jumped 130m and he's leading  There's a chance for his first points in WC!

I didn't expect that also. First I thought that it is some mistake when this 16 seconds appeared and then they show how Slowiok rush uphill after Czech who didn't look very well. In a moment I had hope that we can be at 5th but it was very short moment  

Yes, yes, underestimate Poland and you will end like Portugal 
 
Just kidding, I know that every point will be succes for our team 

He should have borrowed one of Johaug's lipsticks. 

I think there is no athlete in world who knows Igls track better than Kindl. First WCh 2017 now this. Amazing.

I corrected it for you.

Ice preparation on the track is somewhat weird this year. Particularly in the first corner, which caused a lot of problems for Igls standards.

Test events serves as a preliminary overview of how structures should work in many ways. For example, questions of logistics, security, work teams etc.
 
In addition to identifying possible problems, that can be solved before the Olympics, instead of only realizing them when the Olympics begin.

Ehm... yup:

There is another quite important matter. You have ladies, you have some single riders in men's competition, when will you set a double and take part in relays?

Curling has dropped tie-breakers. I think you are right that they will use DSC to determinate 7th place. 1-7 will qualify for the 2019 World Men's Curling Championship. If the scenario mentioned above happens, the highest ranked team of the three in DSC will secure the 7th place, and a spot for 2019 WCH. The 2 other teams will qualify for 2019 World Qualification Event. 
 

Than DSC (Draw Shot Challange) will decide, I believe. Right now Russia is the best in this statistic from this three teams, Finland is right behind it and Netherlands has bigger loss. But there still one match left for all of them so it can change. Here is DSC classification: http://ecc2018.worldcurling.org/data/CUR_ECCA2018P/Men's_Teams/00~Session_0/C76D~Draw_Shot_Challenge.pdf
 
It's also possible that best of this three teams will get 7th place and another two had to play tiebreaker.

Robert Kubica will be announced as full-time Williams driver tomorrow

For those who still don't quite understand it, a Dutch TV show explained it with some graphics, starting at 4:15 (it has English subtitles available).
 
 

I mean it’s just one scandal after another for the AIBA. Boxing needs to leave the Olympic program and take a good look at itself.

We're going at ECh What a suprise!

We're going at ECh What a suprise!

Although I don't take it that seriously, I actually enjoy the Nations League. Instead of poor match-ups for the international friendlies, we now see teams of a similar level play against each other.

No worries
 
But in fact recognizing males and females in slovakia/czech rep. is the most easier thing in the world, you just have to watch their surnames
women´s receive their father's surname at birth and take their husband's name when they marry. However, the names are not exactly the same; the endings differ to fit into the czech/slovak language's systems of gender adjectives.
 
This means when you see any surname finishing with ová or á it´s a woman.
 
 
quick lesson:
 
if men´s surname finish by -ý his wife, daughters, sisters (until they marry) will have surname finished by -á
example:
male´s surname is Novotný his wife or daughter became Novotná
male´s surname is Kaliský, Suchý, Rychlý, Hrubý etc... their wifes, daughters surnames became Kaliská, Suchá, Rychlá, Hrubá...
 
in all other cases the females surname finish by -ová. (if the surname finish by a vowel - not ý - you just have to remove it before adding the -ová)
example:
male´s surname is Cibulka - wife, daughters are Cibulková
male´s surname is Fialka - wife, daughters are Fialková
Zuzula - Zuzulová
Vlha - Vlhová
 
if the male´s surname finish by consonant, it´s even easier, for womens surname you just add ová, without making any changes
Poliak - Poliaková, Hantuch - Hantuchová, Dukát - Dukátová, Schmiedl - Schmiedlová, Sagan - Saganová etc...

Puerto Rican guy in last place deserves a mention. 
 

 
48 years old, he saw skeleton 16 years ago at the Olympics...and now he is finally making his international debut  

My point is that Taiwan should be allowed to call their nation what ever they want, without being threatened by IOC to be excluded from an international sport competition, because of a name. 
I'm sorry my point wasn't formulated clearly. 

Guyana kinda feels out of place there, like you're going to a decent restaurant and they have three options: their specialty pasta with some kind of fancy sauce, an expensive piece of meat cut specifically to your wishes, or five French fries.
 
Cool though  

Debut of in Division A - something we've waited for so long.

They should simply have a rather simple rule: no events to any nations that can't or won't guarantee athletes from every single member nation can participate under their own flag.
