    First win in four years for Robinson :O

    With any luck it's where slopestyle will be at the 2038 Olympics.

    It’s so profoundly weird to see a Canadian win in Ski Jumping and not be all that surprised about it.
  5. NearPup
    Their astroturfing development system just ain’t what it used to be.

    I disagree with Fontana being the only possible choice here, Wang Meng was absolutely dominant in her 2006 and 2010 wins, would have been a contender again in 2014 but for injury and also has accomplished much, much more than Fontana in world championships (Fontana has never won the world championships over 500m, while Meng has won it six times). The only blemish on Meng’s career is that she never came back after her ankle injury.

    Briane Harris, who was provisionally suspended and had been facing a four year doping suspension, has been cleared by CAS and can immediately resume her career.

    Refers to this: https://docs.google.com/document/u/1/d/1WpND9q9JbYWI4yGISt_xnumCh0yPkhNcwP95TDf1-gk/mobilebasic

    I feel like not having the shooting events separated by gender is actually pretty reasonable? In Paris the gold medalist of the women’s event had a higher final score than the gold medalist in the men’s event in the 50m rifle and the 10m pistol (and multiple women had high enough scores to make the men’s final). Olympic shootgun shooting used to be open and it was fine. Also think of the bright side: no more mixed team events in shooting!

    The only reason I’m alive today is because a nurse once injected with epinephrine. It isn’t something I recommend people do under most circumstances, but it will in fact save your life if you’re having anaphylactic shock. The rules are just different in emergency situations. The US did a big stimulus in 2008 and during COVID. Most of Europe did not. The results speak for themselves. It’s less that state spending creates prosperity (it doesn’t), rather that state austerity in a time of crisis will grind long term growth to a halt.

    Basically. Austerity in the wake of the 2008 finacial crisis has been an unmetigated disaster.
  12. NearPup
    You say this every Olympics
  13. NearPup
    At least a Bratislava Olympics would be a fitting home for Slovakia’s most popular sport, golf.
  14. NearPup
    Honnestly a little surprised at how few winter sports Russian athletes changed citizenship.

    Justin Trudeau has resigned as party leader and will resign as prime minister of Canada once the Liberal Party choses a new leader. Once a new leader in selected there will likely be elections shortly after.

    A further update: https://skiracing.com/cyprien-sarrazin-recovery-bormio-crash/ There is optimism about his recovery in general, which is great news, but it’s far from certain that he’ll ever ski again.

    Reminded that the mixed doubles world will be in my old hometown of Fredericton :D

  19. NearPup
    Yup! Other than the teams, who realistically had no shot, they were my favorites. And I think Curling Canada will be pretty happy with this result as well.
  20. NearPup
    I mean, they do still need to grab the quota for Canada :P They were the best team all week, especially impressive that they beat Homan and Botcher convincingly twice (the score of the final is a bit deceptive). They are going to be a big contender in Cortina.
  21. NearPup
    Peterman and Gallant qualify for the final. Weagle and Epping will face Homan and Botcher in the semifinals.
  22. NearPup
    And that's relevant to the 2030 games how? Will the French Alps cancel in solidarity? (Also this has been posted in a bunch of threads already)
  23. NearPup
    It does look extremely likely to be one of those three teams. Peterman / Gallant do seem to be the team in form so far this week, at this point I think it would be a mild upset if they don’t win.
  24. NearPup
    Peterman / Gallant and Weagle / Epping both qualify for the 1-2 game. The other four teams will play-off for a spot in the 3-4 game.
  25. NearPup
    The six teams that made the playoff: First seeds: Brittany Tran / Rylan Kleiter, Jocelyn Peterman / Brett Gallant Second seeds: Lisa Weagle / John Epping and Rachel Homan / Brendan Bottcher Third seeds: Jennifer Jones / Brent Laind and Jaelyn Cotter: Jim Cotter The first and second seeds play for a spot in the 1-2 Page playoff, the losers will play the third seeds for a spot in the 3-4 Page playoff. One of the playoff is Peterman and Gallant vs Homan and Bottcher, which might very well be a preview of the grand final.
