    I'd say on paper had the second best team (after ) so their win isn't that surprising, I'm mostly just surprised that got this close (that last leg by Sighel was incredible). Really happy for Fan Kexin and Ren Ziwei in particular, and of course it's nice that Wu Dajing will get (at least) one gold medal from his home games.

    I bet wishes there was a women's team event right about now xD Anyway, congrats, nice to see Slovenia finally get a ski jumping gold.

    Ya, Blondin at her best isn't a medal threat at the 3000m. This really felt like a training run.
  4. NearPup
    Does it show I haven't slept in about 26 hours? xD

    I really hope Kingsbury isn’t haunted by losing gold because he decided to play it too safe. This is basically exactly how he lost to Horishima in the last pre-Olympic world cup. Edit: fixed an unfortunate auto-correct.

    The boy from Budapest, John-Henry Krueger, finally has a medal for his homeland :D (I’m actually pretty happy Hungary won a medal in this event)

    Unfortunately the penalty against Canada is both correct and super blatant. This is salvaged from being an unmitigated disaster because Weidemann got her expected bronze medal and the mixed doubles team didn’t implode. Kingsbury losing gold because of a strategy error is going to haunt me for years.
  8. NearPup
    Yup. No controversy here.
  9. NearPup
    Well f***.
  10. NearPup
    I feel like there should be a penalty there.
  11. NearPup
    Ya, I don't get why people think this is a scandal. ...esp because got DQed for similar reason in the women's 3000m finals back in 2018 :P
  12. NearPup
    60%, not 40. They do grade on a curve when it comes to how aggressive you are - the turn judges want to see aggressive and clean turns, not just clean turns. The old Jean-Luc Brassard ski the slowest time of the finals and win gold strategy doesn't work anymore.

    I get the impression he went one notch too conservative. It sure seems like Olympics moguls judges love to punish the favourites if they don't push the envelope, and Kingsbury basically did the same kind of run he did in the last world cup before the Olympics (where he finished second, too).
  14. NearPup
    Technically didn't get advanced, they finished top two in their heat :P
  15. NearPup
    I don't think there's anything wrong with the penalties against and tbh.
  16. NearPup
    in the finals because (and ) got penalized. will contest the medals in the very first mixed short track relay.
  17. NearPup
    Lets calm down a bit, Wallberg has a grand total of zero world cup wins, he has a long ways to go :P That being said, in moguls it's pretty common for an Olympic gold to be the start of a quad of dominance rather than the culmination of such.
  18. NearPup
    I had and go 1-2 in some order in this mixed relay. This is wild.
  19. NearPup
    Actually if we're going to talk about the judging, my question is how the heck did Ikuma Horishima finish third?
  20. NearPup
    Disaster for Canada. Our best chance for a gold medal is lost. Incredibly disappointing that Kingsbury will only have one Olympic gold medal in his career, really doesn't reflect the career he's had and continues to have.
  21. NearPup
    Corey makes it to the quarterfinals
  22. NearPup
    Watching does not fill me with confidence…
  23. NearPup
    OBS commentator: "it's not over" Time clock showing +0.7: "ya, it's pretty over"
  24. NearPup
    All three Canadians through to the quarterfinals in the short track women's 500m.
  25. NearPup
    Laurent Dumais fails to make the men’s moguls finals.
