    Third North American sweep out of six women’s bobsleigh events held at the Olympics.

    I acthaly am pretty sure Humphries will finish ahead of on the medal table these Olympics.
  3. NearPup
    It would be way more fun if Dubreuil and Lauzon changed outfit between every visit to the K&C.
  4. NearPup
    Are you sure the judges didn't miss a mistake you made?
  5. NearPup
    They got really mad about their 4th place finish at the Olympics and decided to just coach all the Olympic medalists for the next few decades.

    Best dressed Olympian award goes to Lucile Lefevre.

    Marie-France Dubreuil and Patrice Lauzon are getting a truly ridiculous amount of kiss and cry time. I think it’s shorter to list the countries they don’t coach than the countries they do coach.

    Jones is having things break her way for once these Olympics.
  9. NearPup
    The whole episode is complicated, contentious and it’s not clear we’ll ever know what really happened. But ultimately there was no way she would ever be willing to compere for Canada again.

    In case there was any doubt over who the best female bobsleigh pilot in the world is…

    Barcelona, but their bid is a bit of a mess and it’s not clear it will get off the grounds. It’s also a bid with venues in three countries ( ) so hard to coordinate.

    Nah, Marion Thénault has a world cup win last season and finished second once already this season. She's capable (not favoured, but capable) of making final 3 without much help, and once in final 3 it's basically a lottery. Canada's aerials program is actually in really good shape right now, one of the few that is actually on the upswing.

    I feel like this is proof that could be a major power in speed skating with the right coaching and funding. Inline speed skaters can transition very well.

    Canada's best shot at a gold medal tomorrow? Women's aerials. Yikes. The drought is going to extend I fear.
  15. NearPup
    Position in group is the number one criteria. Sweden cannot be higher than the 4th seed because they finished 2nd in their group.
  16. NearPup
    This is not an uncommon opinion.
  17. NearPup
    Dubreuil false started but de Jong and McLean didn't? Sure. Some people on Reddit were trying to argue the system was entirely automated so there was no controversy here, I'm having serious trouble believing that.
  18. NearPup
    McLean really went above and beyond to ensure I didn't owe anyone money.
  19. NearPup
    Lol the starter in the women's 500m is incompetent. He held McLean and de Jong for ages, and both of them visibly moved before the gun.

    Only thing I can think of is confusion about how to rank the athlete who had a DNF in the A final (i.e. whether to rank him above or bellow the athletes from the B final). DNFs are very rare in short track.

    These Olympics would be a bummer even if Canada was doing well tbh. Even Tokyo felt more like proper Olympics.
  22. NearPup
    I think the overall number of medals is pretty decent, just the... quality of them is shit. Didn't expect 11, but I felt like 7 was pretty much the worse case scenario. Woops.
  23. NearPup
    I actually don't think there was a real surprise in snowboarding - Grondin has been very good all year and O'Dine has been due for a breakthrough for a while. The ski jumping bronze medal really should be considered a 7th place when analyzing performances. It's impressive, but it's a 7th place. The alpine medal is also funky given it was in a dying event that might never be held again.

    Tough way for Bloemen to end his Olympic career.
  25. NearPup
    These Olympics keep getting worse every day for . Fifth place in men's team pursuit. Probably the last Olympic race for Ted-Jan Bloemen.
