I don't know what you are talking about?  He isn't talented at all, judges helped him too much in last couple of stages, but still it isn't enough because luckily other jumpers are better....
 
Edit: If you suspect something bad in my words I can reported your post very soon

The solution is just for the IOC to have Tripartite invitations in winter soirts other than alpine skiing and cross country skiing. 

Didn't you guys already cross that line?

This is just insane ! I still just can not believe it.
 
Second medal for SVK luge since independence after Jaroslav Slávik bronze also at the European Championships 2004 in Oberhof.
 
Congrats Jozef !
 

Sprinter Gil Roberts has 'passionate kissing' defense upheld by appeals court

It'd be really cool if Trikhichev can repeat his awesome result of earlier this season, and if Khoroshilov can finally keep his head cool  

Rest of the Canadian team: 
Snowboardcross
Baptiste Brochu Kevin Hill Chris Robanske Carle Brenneman Zoe Bergermann Tess Critchlow Meryeta O’Dine Parallel Giant Slalom
Jasey-Jay Anderson Darren Gardner Halfpipe
Dereck Livingston Mercedes Nicoll Elizabeth Hosking Calynn Irwin Anderson is conpeting in his sixth winter Olympics, which is a record for Canada (and obviously a record for snowboarders). He has competed in every Giant Slalom / PSG in Olympic history, winning gold in 2010, on top of Snowboardcross in 2006 (where he was 5th) and PSL in Sochi. As far as I know he is the only snowboarder to qualify for every Olympics where snowboarding was contested.

She will be our 7th Winter Olympic Games Opening Ceremony flag bearer, the first ever female and first ever Alpine Skier with this honor. and only the 3rd Non-Ice Hockey athlete in our short Olympic history since the independence in 1993.

There are so few viable and popular winter sports, I think it’s kind of ridiculous to leave the “extreme” (is slopestyle really more extreme than alpine skiing?) sports out of the winter games.

DNS, DNF...why bother registering anyway?

Welcome to our trainwreck.
.

You mean Devin Logan?

Albania have withdrawn from holding the 2018 European Championships because the entire board of the weightlifting federation has resigned because of the scandal of the positive drug test by Romola Begaj at the World Championships.

Roberto Franco is probably the best athlete Mexico has ever sent to the winter games, FWIW. Schleper is probably the second best (and apparently she is quite involved in training young Mexican alpine skiers).

Commentator said like 5 times that the only way for both Czech crews to qualify for 2nd heat is if they tie for 20th place.
 
And guess what happened? They tied.

This reminds me of a Survivor challenge, but worse.

Oh well jury, thanks for this gift
 

yeah, well, still heartbreaking though

0.02 actually, first tie breaker is the free skate.
