For me it's stuck on this: But the Olympics site is working now.

Yep, the Hungarian commentator is also saying that the entire online live timing system collapsed.

Oh fuck, the live timing isn't working on both the Olympic site and on the FIS site, that's quite unfortunate for this event.

Come on, you would be a name partner this time. Austria-Hungary-Slovakia.

with 4-4-4 now, they are doing quite well so far, they have the most medals right now.

So is it completely random when the best athletes start in this event, or do they have some rules about which bibs they can get, like in alpine skiing?

That could have been a 6th place for Hungary if the Hungarian federation weren't led by incompetent morons.

On Reddit the newest rumour is that IOC will officially announce something at 1 pm Beijing time. There are also rumours that the announcement will have a positive outcome for ROC (they can keep their gold and no DSQ for Valieva)

These are the 2018 medals if we follow the 2022 schedule. I have put the 2022 medals in brackets for comparison. There have been 4 new events so far, so the 2022 table has that many additional medals compared to 2018. 1. 5-7-5 (4-2-4) 2. 4-4-3 (1-2-5) 3. 4-4-2 (3-3-1) 4. 4-3-4 (5-3-0) 5. 4-0-0 (4-1-2) 6. 3-2-1 (1-5-1) 7. 2-1-3 (2-4-4) 8. 2-1-2 (2-4-1) 9. 2-1-0 (1-5-0) 10. 1-3-1 (1-0-3) 11. 1-1-2 (1-0-1) 12. 1-0-1 (1-0-0) 13. 0-2-2 (1-1-2) 14. 0-1-3 (2-3-6) 15. 0-1-1 (2-1-2) 16. 0-1-0 (1-0-1) 16. 0-1-0 (1-0-0) 18. 0-0-2 (0-0-1) 19. 0-0-1 (0-0-0) --- 0-0-0 (3-2-0) 0-0-0 (1-0-0) 0-0-0 (0-1-0) 0-0-0 (0-0-2) 0-0-0 (0-0-1) So Norway lost a LOT of medals compared to 2018 so far, but they somewhat saved themselves by winning one of the new events. Canada and United States are also doing quite terribly. Germany is the only top nation of 2018 that won more gold medals compared to the previous Games (+1 gold in Luge, +1 gold in Biathlon, -1 gold in Ski Jumping, so overall it's +1). China benefitted the most from the new events, they have won 2 out of the 4.

But only protected from the name reveal, right? So I am guessing they are only debating how to announce the DSQ in a legal way, but the DSQ itself is set in stone for both the team and for Valieva.

What does the "protected person" rule actually mean in this scenario? Like, they won't reveal that it's her, they will just take away the gold from ROC, but we will still know that she was caught when she won't compete in the individual event?

It depends on if they are getting tired or not. I mean, they were already in three finals and Sándor looked kinda tired in that 1500m final. Hopefully the next race day will be easy for them because they will only have a 500m heat and the relay SF.

Yay, two more Top6 placements for us in the weakest event of the Liu brothers. No matter what happens in 500m and the relay, this was a great Games for us.

My only wish for this final that Shaolin Sándor survives it without another yellow card. The second yellow would be catastrophic for us.

That final will be the biggest clusterfuck ever.

Jesus Christ, 10 athletes in the final...

I see that ski jumping seems just as pointless in this sport as it ever was.

Here we go, the pentathlon of the Winter Games. When will they add biathlon to the sport to try to save it?

Very happy for Vlhová. You can never know what the future brings, so I was getting afraid that she will never win an Olympic medal, which would have been a travesty.

Hungarian team knows that it won't be upheld, that would be unprecedented, it's just a way to express their dissatisfaction towards the jury. Honestly, I think the jury should organize a meeting with all the coaches to discuss what's going on because the number of incidents and penalties are too high. Maybe the jury is too strict or the athletes are too aggressive, or both. But maybe something should be done to clam things down because right now it feels like the teams and the jury aren't on the same wavelength.

I can't tell if this a honest question or a joke because my post was a joke. I will answer it anyway. The Liu brothers are mixed. Chinese father and Hungarian mother, so they got their father's surname.

You see, the DSQ is unfair for Sándor, he's a Hungarian after all, greco-roman wrestling is in his blood, he can't help it.

The Hungarian team is officially protesting the results of the 1000m final, obviously nothing will be changed. Hopefully the guys will find a way to get over this final quickly because they need to focus on the next events. It's not a good sign that Shaolin Sándor didn't give an interview after the final, he clearly didn't handle this well.

Wtf is happening in the last few hours at these Games.
