They are restarting the race while there is still literally a red stain on the ice :x

There is still blood on the ice even after they finished cleaning it

This is awful

Lots of blood on the ice

More worried about the skater. That looks like an extremely severe injury.

I’d be happy because of how passionate is about hockey, and it would be so great to see them win the Olympics at least once.

Am headed to short track!

Doing both at the same time is very hard, but seemingly you can switch and be up to speed within a couple years.

Ya tickets were starting at over 1k € iirc

Ya it’s not the worst xD But def would trade that for a gold medal game ticket.

Good luck to , the only team (that could realistically make a final) where losing to them in the finals wouldn’t totally devastate me xD

No, spending Sunday in Venice

I mean, won a gold in alpine skiing so I guess anything is possible xD

Happy Antoinette Rijpma-de Jong finally has her gold. Also extremely happy with Maltais’ bronze. It is a nice surprise. Keeps my streak of seeing Canadian medals at every event I’ve attended intact for now (women’s 3000m relay in short track, men’s 500m in short track, women’s ice hockey finals) with two more to go in Milan. As a side note, now that I’ve attended the Olympics I can’t believe we ever did victory plaza. Having the medals presented right after the event is so special.

Valerie Maltais having the games of her life

Thanks for jinxing it :D I’m 4/4 so far in terms of Canada winning medals in events I’ve attended in person.

Ya this is kinda depressing

I guess I got to do my grieving about that while stuck ten hours on a BA flight :P

And Sarault has a chance to join them tonight

I feel like the big air format would work really well for aerials (ironically better than it does for big air)

It is very 80s / 90s. I kinda like how anachronistic it is.

And first ever freestyle skiing gold for (though ski cross shouldn’t be part of freestyle skiing xD )

Both ski cross and snowboard cross have gotten less chaotic over the past decade. Kind of an interesting evolution.

Late to this, but I’m honestly glad he finally got an Olympic gold medal. With the career he’s had he very much deserves it, and Friedrich has enough xD

Turns out the good thing about traveling for the Olympics is that it makes it really hard for the results to dampen your mood. I should do this for French Alps too given how Canadian winter sports results are going xD I used to not understand why Devin Heroux is so upbeat all the time and now I do.
