  1. As it stands this ties the best ever Winter Olympic result for .
  2. At the risk of jinxing it, Crawford won bronze. There is nobody left that can catch him.
  3. I think we can objectively say that the Alpine Combined is the best race on the Olympic program, actually.
  4. In order to not give an advantage to those who suck at downhill. One too many people won a super combined after finishing 30th in the downhill.
  5. Not sure if people noticed, but Canada's waxing appeared to be the best yesterday. That's a big reason why I'm very bullish on Grondin (not to jinx him).
  6. Yesterday was the easiest one, there was never at any point any doubt Vlhova would win. (Okay I have a lot of doubts until the last second)
  7. I concur, shut the contest down, nobody is touching that run.
  8. I feel like if the FIS were just a little smarter they would push to keep the combined *and* included the parallel event.
  9. Based on the first run I don't think either Dukurs will win a medal
  10. Crawford was 4th at the worlds last year. Given how well he has skied so far these Olympics I think he has a very real medal chance. But of course the combined is completely unpredictable. Worlds last year also had a Super-G rather than a downhill, so this will be significantly harder for the slalom specialists.
  11. The thing ITG is "useful" for is knowing what IFs want to be made public while keeping some plausible deniability. Which is why in this instance I'm unfortunately pretty sure the reporting is accurate.
  12. https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1119043/valieva-legal-problem-beijing-2022 ITG (fwiw I know) reports that Kamila Valieva had a positive test for *something* before the Olympics.
  13. Probably a good idea given how busy her schedule was.
  14. Ross got away with it because of a loophole, basically. Right result in the end, but his case sadly didn't really settle anything.
  15. God I hope it's not a positive test for cannabis. That would be so stupid.
  16. The biggest upset of the Olympics: no incident at all in a ten(!) person short track final.
  17. The French CBC broadcast is rooting hard for Mascitto (who is from Montreal).
  18. The ice is bad, as is tradition at the Olympics.
  19. It’s a good thing Vlhová didn’t go home after the first runS
  20. This would be even more ridiculous than the ski jumping medal…
  21. Sorry, meant to say the two that didn't finish in the top 16 of the first run can't be seeded any higher than 17th.
