    Tactical loss from Loch to shut up the people who want to eliminate luge from the olympics? For me this sport, as well as bob and skeleton and probably ski jumping/nordic combined should still be eliminated, way too expensive.

    What do you mean? Him choking in the last run or him not winning in general? Before 2010 olympics he won 1 world cup, before 2014 olympics he won 5 world cups, before this olympics he won 3 world cups, i don't really see much of a trend to be honest.

    Yes, we should complain about overachieving austrians by now. Who would have thought that austria would have a gold by now with men's downhill being cancelled?
  4. OlympicsFan
    Agree, but what is the bigger surprise among the following two? 1) Loch losing gold 2) Neither Fourcade nor Boe winning a medal
  5. OlympicsFan
    Loch already has 3 olympics golds + will probably win another one here, so it is good that someone else got the chance to win a gold medal. We also have to keep in mind that it was completely his own fault, which makes it impossible to be angry about this result even from a german perspective.

    Yeah, it's always fascinating how certain you are after every competition, that way you can never be wrong.

    Loch choked, the german who designed this course will probably be getting a lot of hate now ... This is sport, what would you consider a bigger surprise, Loch losing gold or Peiffer winning gold?
  8. OlympicsFan
    Congrats! You got what you wanted and you were right that Loch is actually talentless and was only winning so much because of the material, it showed again today.

    Haha, amazing race! Congrats to Austria and USA!
  10. OlympicsFan
    Thanks! Congrats!

    Result? Was my prediction (gold for Laffont) correct? If so, then congrats to France. I am sorry for Australia, but also a bit happy, i bet 10 points that Australia won't win 3 medals or more in freestlye skiing.

    Results of the first training: Round 1: 1) Rydzek 54.8 2) Yamamoto 53.5 3) Frenzel 51.0 4) Riiber 46.9 ... 10) Watabe 39.8 Schmid DNS Round 2: 1) Riessle 71.5 2) Rehrl 71.3 3) Riiber 69.8 ... 5) Watabe 66.7 14) Rydzek 53.8 16) Frenzel 52.0 Schmiid DNS

    Results of the 3rd training: Round 1: 1) Takanashi 69.2 2) Vogt 68.7 3) Lundby 67.0 4) Ito 66.0 5) Kriznar 64.9 6) Althaus 62.8 Round 2: 1) Lundby 81.5 2) Kriznar 74.5 3) Vogt 70.3 4) Takanashi 66.5 5) Ito 65.9 6) Althaus 62.2 Vogt seems to gain momentum, while Althaus completely lost it. Now there will probably be a 6-way battle for the medals behind Lundby between Althaus, Vogt, Ito, Takanashi, Kriznar and Iraschko-Stolz.

    That's probably what he is thinking about you ... You seem to be obsessed by him ...

    The race seems to be pretty close: https://www.olympic.org/pyeongchang-2018/results/en/luge/result-men-s-singles-fnl-000300-.htm Looks as if the top 7 athletes are still in medal contention.

    Thanks, i know, it was a joke because of a comment by "Dennis" in this thread: http://totallympics.com/index.php?/topic/761-speed-skating-at-the-winter-olympic-games-2018/&page=26

    So no canadian sweep? My condolations. 4 different continents in top 6, name any other winter sport where that is the case ...
  18. OlympicsFan
    Thanks, she is already 29 ... so i guess no. In ski jumping she would probably be called a junior, but in freestyle skiing most athletes of her age are probably retired for almost a decade by that age ... It is pretty interesting that in freestyle skiing, artistic gymnastics, diving, snowboarding and figure skating mostly very young athletes dominate, i guess that is also the reason why germany is shit in those sports, you have to train very hard from a very early age on.

    I just learnt that the german athletes don't get any public funding, so i think this result is good, is it safe to say that canadian athletes get a lot of funding?
  20. OlympicsFan
    At the one hand i am happy that the german athlete finished 13th, on the other hand i am a bit sad that she missed the next round by only 0.9 points against a russian athlete. Two questions for the people who follow the competition: 1) Was it a fair result? How far would you say is the german athlete away from top 6, do you think she might ever get there? 2) How many athletes advance to the 3rd round? Can we assume that Laffont will make it? (I predicted gold for her)
  21. OlympicsFan
    From now on it can only go downhill for Germany, of course unless ...
  22. OlympicsFan
    Haha Windisch asking the other guys if he is allowed to jump on the podium already. Always refreshing to see new athletes on the podium, the joy of winning your first olympic medal probably can't be compared to anything else in sport.

    You never know, today Italy had two guys named "Andrea" and "Nicola" in men's 5000 m speed skating ...

    Apparently the day didn't start very good for Peiffer ... first his rifle broke, so he had to switch it and then he fell down the stairs or something and hurt his elbow ... Mark Kirchner apparently "predicted" the gold for Peiffer ... before the race he said that since Peiffer became world champion in 2011, everyone else (Schempp, Doll and Lesser) all won an individual gold, so it was time for Peiffer to again win something + he told Peiffer that when he (Kirchner) became world champion in 1991 he also had the BIB 22, like Peiffer today.

    We also have to note that 2 finnish athletes finished top 20 on the men's side, i don't think that happened too often in the last couple of years.
