She isn't really able to answer anything here since she can only use one hand for now. Fine for voice messages, not so much for typing. But she asked me to write here that she had a quick look and is very very grateful for all the wishes and messages here! So, thank you all on Bruna's behalf!

I'm completely out of the loop with these games so, sorry if this was posted elsewhere but Bruna is out, she suffered some car accident when traveling to Munich.
 
If I understand portuguese correctly she's alive but broke some bones. The driver sadly died.

Hard choice for me. Torino was the first WOG I really watched, and I enjoyed it completely. Vancouver - I was completely hyped for and the games delivered.
Sochi first game with on demand and streaming and I could watch everything I want and like but and I also opened up to new (for me) sports. On the other hand doping scandal put it shadows over it. 
PyeongChang was nice and fine, but somehow I missed something special, maybe I got more delusional about the Olympics?
 
So i voted for nostalgia and Vancouver, but I like to vote ex-equo with Torino.
 

Guiness world records has some of the most random records out there like the first Olympic use of artificial snow which happened in the lake placid olympics in usa in 1980.  This is probably where Beijing got the in idea of using artificial snow.

This thread makes me sad 

Well I’m expecting 6 golds for Mexico obviously

195 point something for Ponya in Lebanon. She will be going to the Olympics (unless Hungary raised their standards considerably following the Swaney fiasco).
 
I like how Totallympics is probably the only place where people print-screen Instagram stories of small-time athletes.

The very first athlete headed to Beijing. Sochi 2014 champion in Snowboarding Parallel Patrizia Kummer will arrive to Beijing and start the 3 week isolation for uvaccinated athletes
 
btw: She is not even officially nominated and qualified by the NOC yet

At what point does the trolling get a permanent ban around here?

Annecy made a strong pitch for a permanent spot on the calendar this weekend. Fantastic atmosphere and the IBU people surely have noticed it. It's becoming Nove Mesto 2.0   The only problem is that there is not enough rounds in a season for them all. And this is without Russia in the picture. 
 
To think that once upon a time biathlon was under the hat of modern pentathlon and look how things turned out. One is hitting peak popularity, while the other has been completely forgotten. IBU are probably blessing that split everyday. 

And Bitterling is right. Having pursuit + relay and the opposite genders the next day is an excellent solution. The other would be to make the relays significantly shorter, but that would be worse.

Too bad Streslov isn't Belarusian, this would have been a fun mixed relay.

Political boycott should be extended to forever, athletes are enough to represent their countries

How can american politicians boycott attending something that they are not even invited to attend.
