Eh, Choi was co-favourite imo.

First snow sport Olympic gold medal for What a story, the student has outdone the master.

It is a nickname she goes by. It isn’t Craig mispronouncing her name.

Craig McMorris is baffled xD

If Siegel doesn’t get penalized here… oh boy

So proud of Hosking, she went for it.

I’m sorry but it is ridiculous that they haven’t penalized anybody after three failed starts. Edit: nvm finally

We have the hottest ocean beaches on the North American east cost anywhere North of North Carolina and the highest tides in the world, so there’s that! Otherwise the only billionaires from the province made their fortune selling lumber and paper, and frozen potato chips so that probably gives you a feel for the place xD

About 1/3 of New Brunswickers are Francophones, though more Acadians than Quebecois (I’m halfzies, one Quebecois parent and one Acadian parent) Sarault is also from her birth in Michigan. But obviously chose to compete for which is where she’s actually grown up.

I live in Washington state now and I always chuckle when people here complain about taxes. New Brunswick is, as far as I know, the highest tax province in Canada (both for HST and income taxes). It's also one of the poorest region of Canada (don't get me wrong, it's quite wealthy by world standards, but compared to the rest of Canada or the US it's definitively not very well off).

And she's from :D She could become the first woman from my home province to win an Olympic gold. New Brunswick only has one gold medalist in it's entire history (Russ Howard).

I think we've already decided gold here, that run by Kim will be hard to beat.

Honnestly that could end up being a good pair for both of them.

Sending all the best vibes to Choi.

So luge is the first sport to conclue competition. I'd say it was a good showing this year.

The only problem with the Olympic team relay is that makes it kinda boring at the end :P

No gold for , but a first ever Olympic medal in the relay

God I missed the NHLers being at the Olympics.

That women's doubles run by was miraculous.

This fact feels unbelievable xD

The men's hockey team looks pretty good. Alison Mackie finished eighth(!) in the women's 10km time trial. This one is big, she could be a big star in 2034-2038 (she could still be years away from her prime). As pissed off as I am about the result, Kingsbury performed really well today and it bodes well for duals. Especially with him being a little bit angry. And likewise, despite how hearthbreaking the silver was, Grondin did amazing today. Three Olympic medals in snowboardcross at 24 is insane, Hämmerle had zero at that age.

Oh I fully agree. The only thing that worries me for luge is the lack of a track in Calgary. But the Whistler track is absolutely paying dividents in athlete development.

I'm been really liking the aditions to the luge relay they made this quad (the women having the random start and the women's doubles). Feels like it made an already awesome event - IMO clearly the best sliding sports event - even better.

Same, I think the luge relay is the best sliding sport event and it's a bummer isn't in it this year.

The faith of men's and women's nordic combined is quite linked at this point too. I've seen some female nordic combined skiers urge people to "protest" the exclusion of women's nordic combined at the Olympics by watching men's nordic combined at the Olympics and engaging with such content online as well.
