Yeah, it's really sad. They should just get rid of men's 10000 m and women's 5000 m + that weird mass start. I absolutely see no reason why there should be more individual events in speed skating than in cross-country. 500, 1000, 1500 + 3000/5000 is absolutely enough.

Now we have a race ...

I just want to see Herzog winning a medal here, then i can die happily.

I almost can't count the number of medal chances Germany will have tomorrow. If everything goes well, Germany might more medals tomorrow than most nations have won during the whole games so far. - 2 x biathlon - figure skating - luge team relay - speed skating men's 10 000 m - men's snowboard cross - women's giant slalom - men's downhill I hope for one medal in women's individual, a medal in figure skating, gold in luge, a medal in men's snowboard cross and a medal in women's giant slalom. I don't see Beckert winning a medal, he seems to be completely out of shape. In men's biathlon everything is possible, but one medal should be guaranteed for Fourcade and hopefully Boe will finally show his true self and win the gold. Two medals is already much more than expected, so i won't ask for more. In men's downhill i don't think starting first will help Dreßen, but top 6 would be absolutely amazing for him. If 4 out of Svindal, Jansrud, Kriechmayer, Mayer, Bennett mess up he might have a tiny chance for a medal. Feuz would have to crash or miss a gate for Dreßen to have any chance to beat him. I don't know about the odds for Feuz, but for me this is the 2nd safest gold medal bet here, only behind Shiffrin in women's slalom.

I kind of like Ter Mors, it is really cool that she competes in two different sports, i will cheer for her today. De Jong and Ter Mors are the only dutch speed skaters i like.

There are only 12 athletes in men's 10 k! Sorry, but for me this should not be an olympic event.

Yeah, he doesn't have a medal chance anyway, so he could as well just withdraw. I wasn't "shocked" because i thought "wow, this is bad for his medal chances", but because i was surprised that he would fly back and forth just to star in a tv show.

I am sorry for you, do you have TLC? They show a replay right now, but i don't know if its only in Germany ...

I also would have given the victory to superstar Ayumu, because his grabs were much better, but i don't think it's as big a scandal as Klapfer winning a medal in nordic combined. I hope that White retires to finally make way for the new era of Ayumu Hirano. Hirano is 19 years old and already has two olympic silvers, he will be considered the best halfpipe athlete ever after his retirement. White should focus on skateboarding at the 2020 olympics now. Maybe he will become the next athlete to win medals at both olympics. Also interesting: Gerard flew home, because he will be a guest in Jimmy Kimmel's show, although he will compete in big air in a couple of days.

I am very sorry for Riiber, but his time will come very soon.

Very bad result. When is Watabe finally going to win gold? It's enough! Frenzel being slow like a turtle all season long and now he is the new Northug all of a sudden?

I don't get what Frenzel is doing ... he wastes energy and doesn't help Rydzek, very stupid.

Please Watabe, don't allow Klopfer to steal the gold.

Very stupid by Frenzel, he should have allowed Rydzek to join the lead, this would have been the best for Germany.

I don't think so. If he really has so much left, he should better try to get to the front instead of waiting for Rydzek to pull him there, because that won't happen.

Frenzel destroying all german gold medal chances by increasing the speed, Rydzek would have been the only one who could have won gold.

You mean it would fit to the travesty those games are already?

Does anyone else think that the "Will Germany sweep the medals in any event" question was the easiest in the bet contest? 10 Safe points.

I don't think that Klapfer is better in CC than Rydzek, but i think he has the "i don't give a shit, i never expected to fight for a medal, so i will just go for it" mentality, which might be a huge advantage.

Riiber winning gold would be cool. I just hope the germans won't be as stupid as in Sochi, otherwise the norwegians would have every right to call them "superclowns" again.

I think 0 medals for Germany is more likely than 2. Rydzek will bust, Akito will hopefully win gold. Klapfer winning gold would be the biggest scandal of the games so far.

Why did you change your mind? Earlier you said that you think it will be between Watabe and the Frenzman.

Top 5 in world cup after jumping: 3) Watabe 0:28 behind first 11) Rydzek 1:26 behind first 16) Riessle 2:03 behind first 23) Grabaak 2:28 behind first 31) Schmid 2:47 behind first Klapfer and Rehrl jumped from gate 20 with headwind, all the top athletes had to jump from gate 18.

Other nations don't have multiple medal contenders.
