Triplecast

Welcome Molly. Oslo was the preferred candidate city of the IOC for the 2022 Olympic Winter Games until the Norwegian government withdrew financial support, causing Oslo to withdraw its bid in 2014. Earlier in 2014, Krakow and Stockholm had also withdrawn their bids. The full story of the Oslo 2022 bid can be read in Wikipedia. After Oslo withdrew, the only candidate were Beijing and Almaty. Had Oslo not withdrawn, it is with near certainty that we would now be watching and talking about the Games coming from Norway.

And gets in for 23rd, ahead of two of Relay gold medalists. Wind did have a major effect today.

There still is the matter of the Team Event medal.

Ok, We have a 1st through 7th in Men’s Halfpipe Qualifying. Update. moves into 2nd.

This feels like slow torture (typed this seconds before the goal).

What’s this with NBC showing Canadian wipeouts?

Ok 1-2

You were spot on.

They may come under pressure but ignoring CAS opinion? Won't happen. IOC statement "We must follow the rule of law."

I'm curious as to what you think the lineup should be. Guigonnat replaces Jacquelin?

You have more or less described the Super Sprint that is done in the IBU Cup. To add, you get 3 spare rounds per shoot, and if you leave any target standing, you are eliminated from the race.

What the hell was the 1 point deduction for?

The time to get USA citizenship is difficult issue. Thankfully, it didn’t take an Act of Congress ala Tanith Belbin and Tracey McFarlane. Statistically, I can see Huumphries being a stronger favorite than the Canadian women.

I learned tonight that had recruited Humphries. You do mean gold medals? You will at least get a tie.

USA Gold medal.

Julia Marino a DNS in Big Air qualifying, 2 falls for Jamie Anderson.

It’s a looong story as to how she went from Canada to USA.

Tonight in Eastern US, monobob obviously 8:30-10:30 pm. Am not following Super Bowl at all, instead will start with Curling at 8:00pm. Will await the CAS decision that is due to come out by 2:00am here. With wife we will watch dance final. Do I get up at 6:00am for aerials? Wait and see, have to work a full day from home. Of course, will have game on as I start work.

USA Network has it live with Chad and Bill.

Those of you outside North America should hear our biathlon announcer.

I would argue Lazutina and Danilova had bad lawyers. m

It did have the interesting twist though that Beckie Scott won all 3 medals.

As I posted a second ago, in 1992, 94 and 98, they did award medals for the first race.

Cross Country skiing had the same type of event in 1992, 94 and 98. Classic race where medals were awarded, then pursuit race with additional medals.

DeBruin is going in the right direction in the standings. I would be pleased with a North American sweep.
