    's two remaining games will be forfeits. Luckily it won't have too much bearing on the standings.
  2. NearPup
    Yes, and it's indeed super stupid. My proposed fix for this: 8 teams make the free (this still means a max of two flights per event), and we use this scoring system: 15 - 13 - 11 - 9 - 7 - 5 - 3 - 1, so the free's value is more in line with how it is in regular figure skating.

    Not really. It would take a miracle. Honestly given the lineup Canada has, fourth place is an amazing result.

    Providing a ton of reliable TV coverage throughout the entire Olympics was actually one of the arguments the WCF used to convince the IOC to add curling xD

    Karen Chen completely ruined any chance had of winning the team event.
  6. NearPup
    She’s the best in the world. Simple as that. So happy she pulled it off, she really deserves it.
  7. NearPup
    ? Way to count out Zoi Sadowski-Synnott.

    It would take a doping violation for Canada to win a medal at this point :P

    Looks like Messing’s COVID diagnostic might cost Canada a bronze in the team event.

    It appears the free skate in the team event will be .

    Amazing performance from Schizas. Canada is actually going to make the free skate xD (no real shot at a medal tho)

    Unsurprisingly given her injuries this will likely be the last competition for Aileen Frisch. In an interview with Korean media she says she plans to return to Europe to study, then return permanently in South Korea afterwards.

    Ya, I felt the same thing. I am guessing broadcasting is a big challenge due to COVID. As mentioned earlier in the thread Tokyo had big problems too, and I don't remember any of that being an issue in Rio or Pyeongchang.

    I really lived the Beijing track at the test event, too. It’s a shame it won’t be a regular on the world cup circuit due to it’s location.

    My main complain is actually OBS. They had some really odd camera angles in moguls, luge and cross country and some notable TV graphic mistakes all over the place.

    Dukurs has some of the worst luck I’ve ever seen an Olympian have tbh. Prime example of why you can’t judge an athlete’s resume based primarily on the Olympics.
  17. NearPup
    The side view is rarely ever shows at the world cup. A lot of venues don’t seem to have the camera set up for it. At the Olympics they’ve had that view available since at least 2006 IIRC, and they always love to use it (because it looks spectacular), though usually they use it a lot less.
  18. NearPup
    Unrelated: I hate, *hate* the side view OBS kept insisting on showing. It’s basically impossible to see wtf is going on when they show that view.

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