Why? Is there any special story about him?

Oh ... Lesser didn't seem too pleased about the Dahlmeier "hype" in an interview just now. He said "TeamD doesn't stand for Team Dahlmeier, but for Team Deutschland (= Germany) and i hope that people noticed that now". (#TeamD is the official hashtag of the german olympic team here)

Not so fast, bobsleigh is still to come and if this will be another Sochi debacle, the mood in Germany won't be so good.

Thank you very much! I think Boe will medal in the pursuit if he misses at most 4 shots. My prediction: Fourcade, Boe, some german

Why? I like it so far ...

Wouldn't mind if it would continue tomorrow ... but let's not forget that Loch might still lose. 2 out of Rebensburg, Peiffer/Schempp/Lesser/Doll in men's pursuit, Dahlmeier and Althaus (women's ski jumpin) should do it.

Czech Republic with 2 medals after the first 2 races, i don't think anyone would have bet anything on that? You have to be happy for them, after they lost Soukalova.

Peiffer ahead of Krcmar and Windisch who didn't see that coming? Will anyone get points in the prediction contest ... ?

Neither Bailey ... could someone please tell me what position J. Boe is in? I bet 10 points that no athlete who finished 21 or worse in the sprint will win a medal in the pursuit, but now i am afraid ... No we reached the point where i would be sad if Peiffer wouldn't win gold.

I think he can do it, but for sure he will be in a very good position for the pursuit, so he will gold there at the latest.

He is back! Enough for gold?

Bailey or Schlesinger will win gold, mark my words!

Very surprised to see a german in the final, good job!

Even i am a bit worried. If Ukrainians would shot like germans shot so far (on the womens side 4 misses, 2 of them by Herrmann so ... and one by Hinz who just choked, on the mens side 3 misses, 2 of those by Lesser and Doll with their last shot.), i would probably have called them cheaters by now ...

What the fuck is going on? Lesser and Doll probably threw away a medal with their last shot, but i think Peiffer might medal today.

I still have Kleveland as favorite in the big air + the japanese and i agree about Gerard, there has been talk about him for years. He might not be the White/Hirano kind of talent, but also no one-hit-wonder.

So the biathlon expert has spoken, your knowledge is really quite impressive, tonight you were already the one who acted as if he knew Gerard for years. Gonna be interesting to see your results at the prediction contests.

Yeah i know, he was one of your medal favorites, sorry that i forgot it. How much did you bet on him?

Doll could have really defended his world title from last year without that miss, but of course only if Fourcade would have missed at least 2 ...

Boe was so bored all season long, that he wanted to make it interesting for himself. Two questions: 1) Are the norwegians drunk? 2) Who the hell it Otcenas?

I misunderstood you, i edited my comment, everything's fine. Mayb if they would plan the competition times in a way that would be better for the locals, we wouldn't have to complain about the number of spectators so much.

So the norwegians are wearing dutch jackets and the canadians are wearing norwegian uniforms (in snowboard slopestyle) ...

Edit: Sorry, i think i got you wrong. Europeans certainly had an influcence on the schedule but in the end the US had to sign everything off, because that's where the money is. I am sure german/french tv asked for a much later starting time in women's giant slalom, but guess who had the last word ... (look at the starting times and then look what time it will be in the US then).

In german TV Sven Hannawald also said that Hula's second jump was much worse, i think he said that his ski came too agressively towards his body shortly after the take-off. I think Stoch was better than Hula in most training, so i don't quite understand why you are so surprised? People now calling ski jumping a lottery just have no clue, this is not like biathlon where complete no-names can win with unfair wind conditions. In the end Wellinger was the best in the qualification and many training + the two norwegians were always contenders for top 6. I had the feeling that Stoch got worse with every jump on this hill, very strange, let's hope that he can turn it around at the large hill. Kubacki got unlucky, but i think overall Hula got unlucky, so i wouldn't say that Poland was betrayed or something like that. Of course we will never know what Kubacki could have done, so i understand polish anger, but i absolutely don't understand how people can call Freitag a lucky winner. I think Poland will win silver/gold in the team and at least one medal at the large hill, so probably everyone will calm done very soon.

Not at the winter olympics, but women's modern pentathlon at 2016 olympics for example: 1) Australia (Oceania) 2) France (Europe) 3) Poland 4) Germany 5) GB 6) Ireland 7) Italy 8) GB 9) Kazakhstan (Asia) 10) Mexico (South America) So now we know which sports are the most competitive at summer and winter olympics ...
