I dislike that Canadian team so much. Arrogant behavior. They have destroyed the sport. No else. 

Absolutely!!! Last time in 2003 (((
 
 

That's  male best OG result in a distance race since 1980 IIRC (Krezelok had 9th in 2002 sprint).

It's weird to talk about attendance in %. Whats better 97% of a smaller stands or 90% of a bigger one?  
 

It sounds just wrong. Winter sport is snow and ice.
 
If considering reducing Summer Games™ there is another solution: we have Summer Games™, we have Winter Games™, all we need are just Autumn and Spring games™! 
 
All "summer" indoor sports go to Autumn Games™. Questionable are sports for Spring Games™ - but we could find it out. 
 
We can have Olympics™ every year - it is 100% more Olympics™ per year! 
And of course, more $$$  for the IOC!

Good news is that here in  coverage of the Games got excellent viewing figures, by modern standards.  Makes me wonder if the BBC will be kicking themselves for neglecting this years' other big event, at least with us, the Commonwealth Games.
 
BBC should spare us the tears in their Winter Olympics cheerleading

One of my favorite things that the Olympics site does is have the athletes record themselves pronouncing their names.  Just click on the speaker icon next to their name.   

Yea gala in the grand scheme does nothing and is a revenue generator

Def beats Sturla Holm Lægreid winning and dedicating his gold medal to his ex girlfriend.

Quite easily my favourite Winter Olympics ever - probably because I had the chance to see much more of it than usual, through personal difficulties. The games have been a light in the dark spell of the past while. The love and joy shone through right the way through from the opening ceremony - and there was little controversy, as it should be. Grazie mile, Italia. I love you all. 

God the scheduling is so awful these last couple of days. Why is speed skating starting now and not in half an hour or 45 minutes, when the hockey match will be over. There is nothing going on in the next 2.5 hours beside this..

I never want to see a medal plaza ever again. The medal ceremonies were so important for me as a spectator, even the ones I really didn’t want to sit through (and no offense but the men’s 5000m relay def was one of them :P ) xD
 
It gives closure to the event, basically.

I started with an 8 after a couple of days, well, now it's definitely a 9
 
great Olympics, wonderful competitions, amazing success on and off the field for  
 
at least once in my life I can say I'm proud to be Italian, proud to be from Milan
 
will keep these 2 weeks in my heart forever 

Meanwhile awesome to see Bruna higging Sami at the 10k finish made it to the big final Olympics overview they just showed  

The return of the best thread at the end of each olympics 

All up to Viktor to secure the small-nation medal, then

Say what you want. It was a masterpiece! 

That's actually a good way to remind me why nobody should be obsessed with the medal table.

Is cancelling a competition round due to weather urban, youthful and gender neutral?

what a terrible Olympics for Italy, no hope at all. disastrosamente
 
I didn't read the whole forum but I'm kind of sure one certain user wrote something like this yesterday or today or will write tomorrow when couple of Italians fail somewhere 

According to my database, no. They had a 13th place in 2002.
