    So you had winning the mixed doubles? :P
  2. NearPup
    No medals, but IMO apart from women's ski big air (and Roman D: ) all the results today were pretty good.

    The scary thing for the rest of the world is that Stefania Constantini is 22, which is a baby in curling terms. She's gonna get better than this.

    This is only the third time a team goes undefeated in an Olympic curling tournament (after Martin in 2010 and Jones in 2014).

    I'm guessing the old Olympic ice stadium in Cortina is going to be a happening place in 2026 :D

    This is the first world or Olympic medal they’ve ever won. I don’t think many people saw this coming.
  7. NearPup
    Surprisingly weak from the Italians :P
  8. NearPup
    Say what you will about Homan / Morris, but they are the only team that looked really capable of beating the Italians.
  9. NearPup
    beats in a shoot-out to win group B.
  10. NearPup
    Top 15 from the overall world cup, any medal winners and the remaining is based on results at the Olympics (using the same point distribution as in the world cup).

    Cross country sprint heat selection gives me some serious StarCraft nostalgia. In big leagues they usually got players to select their own groups (basically you had one seeded player per group, they each picked one player to be in their group, then these players picked one player, and so on until all groups were full). They always made a big show of it with trashtalking and whatnot. Some leagues had elaborate entrances for the players too. Kind of wild seeing a "real" sport come up with a similar group selection format.

    This should leave him in a pretty strong position to qualify for the mass start, I believe.

    Won't be a fourth place when the day is done. Strong result by him.

    Karl finally wins an Olympic gold medal, after giving it away to Jasey-Jay Anderson with a late mistake in 2010.
  15. NearPup
    's only remaining medal chance of these Olympics is out (lets be honest they won't be allowed to win anything in short track :P )
  16. NearPup
    Didn’t the Dutch NOC almost not select her?
  17. NearPup
    Does the IOC really think this is a good look? Dear god.
  18. NearPup
    As it stands would have it's best ever winter Olympic result, beating the record they set two days ago :P

    Really disappointing to see Finland fall on it's face during this tournament, pre-pandemic it really seemed like they were catching up (and tbh they are the rightful winner of the 2019 worlds). and have a brutal arms race with each other, and it seems almost impossible for anyone else to keep up.

    The quality of the racing is definitively better at the world cup. Though I think an underrated issue is that the ice is also better at world cups. The venue being shared with figure skating makes the ice less than ideal.
  21. NearPup
    And a purely homegrown talent, too. Very impressive result.
  22. NearPup
    Rooting hard for Lee, with how things are going in short track this might be Korea's only gold medal chance xD
  23. NearPup
    I'm not sure what's more embarrassing: a skier beating all the snowboarders, or a snowboarder beating all the skiers.
  24. NearPup
    After looking back at the event sober mindedly my definitive take is that you can make a credible case that any of the three medallists deserved to win. But it was close enough that if there was any home cooking Su would have won, and it would probably have been less controversial than the result that actually happened.

    I think being consoled by the Thomas Bach, Olympic champion, Montreal 1976, Fencing is objectively worse than losing gold at the last minute.
