Doubles are heavier (duh) so they are slower (less aerodynamic, more air resistance)

Oh i see aerodynamic reason.

I only know from bobsleight (Cool runnings) that heavier is better. But there Is aerodynamic, it Is right.

Women don't have a rolling clock start

But doubles was slower than single men and there Is the same start. So it Is strange for me...

I saw only few competitors, but single women is always faster than single men or than doubles. How is it possible?

FIS ruins alpines combination more and more.

1. Qualification for this competition which cause that there are only 27 athletes

2. Not reverse order! I think better will be to use order for downhill in downhill and order for slalom in slalom as it was originally.

3. Our commenators says that president FIS do not like watching downhill specialist in slalom. Why not? I like it. The same as slalom specialist in downhill

Idiots jury. So unfair for skijumpers in the beginning to win the competition.

Do you sb understand last shot of Tomas Paul?

skijumping team. After Rýdl And trainer Vasja Bajc, there is newly positive: Polášek and Kožíšek.

So probably lost chance for medal :-D

Last minute reallocation for in women's alpine skiing. After refused, accepted and nominated Gabriela Capová, slalom specialist who is already in the Beijing 2022 system and 115th member of Czech Olympic Team in Beijing. 

It seems that every country refuses quota and FIS started to offer automatically to :-D

I am happy for every athlete. But it is a little bit weird that our athletes do not compete for whole year in any WC (both men and women) and now they would start in OG.

In i really do not know who can be.

My estimation: Březina (ice skating), and Fernstädt (skeleton).

I would rather disagree. I think this has two sides of the coin. 

 

1) With only Chinese players would be like me competing against Aksel Lund Svindal on the ski slope .... So embarrasment and something that IOC would not allow. 

 

2) China wanted their team so IOC and China needed to compromise both...... IOC said you have a bit competitive team, we will let you play..... What better option you have than put up Kunlun together? Players are offered freaking crazy money (as China is not afraid of wasting it) and they are offered dual citizenship, like generally nobody else is allowed to have.

 

Generally, I am not saying it is 100% right thing to do. Of course, if China wanted to be free of these things, they would just easily drop it and gave the place to  or  depending when they would give it up. But they don't want to lose the face in front of their home crowds ...... So in this case from IOC and China sides, it is a win-win situation. Just IIHF felt a bit weird about it and  and  felt kinda betrayed, especially Norwegian team as I guess they think that their Olympic spot has been stolen .....  national team so far did not achieve something that  team did 4 years ago before the Pyeongchang Olympics. But at least they got a more competitive team ..... Whether it was the right decision? We will in few weeks and it will also an interesting sign for IOC how to handle this situation in the future ....

I understand your point, but we have different view for this topic. 

i would rather see you against Svindal than in order to bought Hirscher :-D i do not really like naturalization in sport (Kenya athletes competes for Qatar, Bralizian handball players competes for Qatar, Bralizian futsal players competes for Ázerbájdžán a Kazachstán, China table tennis players competes for whole world,...)

For increasing interest for sports in that countries, yes you can bought players And compete in their leagues, teach them,... But not compete for them with their flag.

I really did not understand the sense of this competition.

The weather was really bad, no audience, less then one week before olympics,...

On the other hand, the weather in is really bad too so it was one of few competitions this year which i saw :-D

Well, according to FIS page after all accepted the additional quota . So after Anezka Indrackova and Radek Rydl in ski jumping, we recieved another reallocation. So I suppose the next quota may go to Gabriela Capová or Celine Sommerová or Tereza Nová. Waiting for confirmation as COC and Czech media are silent .... Will see tomorrow ... 

accepted quota: Tereza Nová (downhill, SG, combination)

According to reports, we should get a formal announcement within the next 24 hours.  No real surprise.  The NHL owners are likely more than happy to use COVID as an excuse to not send players to Beijing since they'll want to use the February break to make up games

Totally agree. It is very interesting that they decided immediately on their peak of Covid and did not wait till 10th January...

3 times in row: 11th in Olympics :-( :-D

Total meltdown from the Czech team. Incredible.

Went from 4:1 up after 5th, to 5:8 down after 9th.

Too many mistakes in 8th end and bad decision in 9th end. The best mistake i see that they did not take time out for calm down after few mistakes during 8th end.

Hmm Revenge for qualification match 4 years ago?

I hope that finally we will win.

It Is 6th match when men are one win from olympics:

2013 WCH against Switzerland. Too close.

2013 Olympic qualification against Germany - extra end - too close

2013 Olympic qualification against USA - 5 points in one end and dream was over.

2017 home Olympic qualification against Denmark - lost

2021 Olympic qualification against Italy - lost

2021 Olympic qualification against Denmark - ?

@Sindo is there not a separate thread of the OQT ?

 

Also beat in the women's event, what a shocking result.

 

Thank you for information. U only see in curling live results that matches are interrupted.

What is ice plant? Google shows me only some flower as result, but i have strong doubt that due to it there would need matches interrupted :-D

Wow. There Is not all matches in Olympic qualification as shot by shot? What a shame! I am really disappointed :-(

Uff i must Google it in order to make sure that you are not talking about Mathieu :-D

I do not understand results of Mass start women. Zdráhalova was better than Peschtein in semifinal, but Peschtein is in final and Zdráhalova not.

Do you know why?

Thank you
