And the exposure and chance of becoming elite in other sports Is limited on purpose (see the ridiculous criteria set by the Dutch NOC for sports they don't like, so you also have very few Olympians). Which is fair when the goal is to minimize the cost per medal ratio in the long term (better not investing in sports where results are more variable) but let's not sell this as "great innovations" that sets apart NED from other countries.

Yep, now we'll have a bunch of copravolley-like journalists coming out of the woods and writing articles or making contents about following the way of the superior Dutch system etc. Sigh.

It was Santos again. Americans have been a danger to everyone since the first day.

Here you go, Cardona was the best, lost all on the change, the last part Is completely useless because overtaking is impossible so he gets second place; luckily for him It was the semi but still.

Nonsense event. Much worse than the climbing combined event, the changes are the part which makes the difference. Might as well add changing ski suits as fast as possible to the alpine skiing program.

Did you watch It carefully?

Riguardando l'incidente anche dopo ore l'intervento è chiaramente premeditato visto che lo spazio per passare c'era. Sacrificare il tuo peggiore per fare fuori un grande avversario per l'oro, sapendo che non verrà avanzato, è una buona strategia se si hanno le spalle coperte. Così come lo è continuare a imbrogliare nel curling.

Here's a top 8 placements / points table (8 points for a gold, 7 for a silver,..., 1 for an 8th place). Screenshot because copy/pasting gives some horrible formatting

And that's also the first Italian medal ever in these freestyle thingies, including skiing and snowboarding.

McGrath waiting for a giant stoat to come out of the woods and end his agony.

Mah. Oltre a quelle menzionate ci sono anche le mass start di pattinaggio e visto le altre gare anche i 1500m, altre 2 gare individuali di short track, la team sprint di fondo, lo ski cross, lo sci alpinismo ha almeno 1 possibilità se non 2, il curling maschile è ancora in gioco, e qualche altro outsider. Sembra quasi che a qualcuno diano più soddisfazione i giorni senza medaglia per potersi lamentare

First ever Italian gold in biathlon. Long overdue.

it's official, so now we have: Lorello-Thorup Swings - Henriksen Semirunniy - Van de Bunt Bergsma - Ghiotto Jilek - Bloemen Eitrem - Lobineaud

Would they change the heats in case of a late substitution?

Io quando perdono gli olandesi, almeno così sta zitta la gente che pensa che sia meglio puntare tutto su 1-2 sport ed essere assenti nel 75% delle gare.

adesso sono 6 quindi giusti per copravolley e un trionfo per OAsport a soli 10 giorni dalla fine.

He is DSQ now.

Italians can improve their run as well. Still, the Germans will win it easily if they have a clean one.

La temperatura nel luogo di gara alla partenza di ogni run si trova anche nei risultati ufficiali...sopra i 2°C https://wmr-static-assets.scd.dgplatform.net/wmr/static/_PDF/OWG2026/LUG/2026-02-10/LUGWSINGLES-----------FNL-000400--__C82_1.0.pdf

Because there is figure skating tonight in the same place.

Come ori neanche loro hanno fatto faville, 16 con 64 medaglie. E senza Marchand ancora peggio, sarebbero stati 12 ori su 59 medaglie.
