    USA announcers say Shiffrin on red course is a strategic move. And that she will have to go all out to win on red course. It was USA's choice, as the higher seeded team. Germany put up Duerr first, USA countered with Shiffrin.

    They finally got it right without acknowledging their error. Porino should be better than this. (And he can't keep Slovenia and Slovakia straight.) Also, a nit that I've had throughout the Games - Yes, Wendy Holdener has never won a slalom, and they talk about what she is missing, but that can't seem to say it or don't know that Holdener has an Olympic gold medal from this event.

    first Olympic Winter Ganes gold medal since 1948. Micheline Lannoy, 97 years young, now lives in Canada, the oldest living Olympic Winter Ganes gold medalist, I think.

    In an ideal Olympic World, I would agree. But these guys have WC races in a week in Finland, and with Covid, and with all the restrictions they face in the closed-bubble, they just want to get out of China ASAP.

    Interesting argument. Some think the team figure skating team event should also be done last. But it's surely done first becaus USA/NBC TV needs some figure skating to fill up the first two nights of broadcasts before the Opening Ceremony.

    Jessie Diggins might even have an outside shot.

    That event was about like the halfpipe tonight. Not a lot of clean runs. News Flash Team Event will be held tomorrow at 9:00 local

    More trivia, sorry, in 1968 and 1998, the 4-man bobsled was shortened due to weather. Two runs wre cancelled in 1968, one run in 1998.

    1932 Equestrian Team Jumping was cancelled but not because of weather. To explain, it was held simultaneously with Individual, but no team completed the event with the required number of riders so no medals were awarded.

    Someone just cited to Olympic Charter Bylaw 32 which basically says you can't hold an Olympic event outside the 16 day duration of ther Games. Its being speculated they could hold the Team Event at the World Cup Finals in March.

    I'd been thinking the same thing for the last hour or so, Although, in 1928 it was too warm.

    News Flash: Team Event won't happen today. May not happen at all.

    They had moved it up to 10 local time, but then they delayed 1 hour off the revised start time, so we are back to the original start time. And it's pretty blustery out there.

    Don't forget, the IOC used "bribes" to get LA to wait until 2028.

    Wise and Ferreira now 1-2, but now 2-3 But Porteous now the deserved leader.

    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.
  18. Triplecast
    There still is the matter of the Team Event medal.
  19. Triplecast
    Ok, We have a 1st through 7th in Men’s Halfpipe Qualifying. Update. moves into 2nd.
  20. Triplecast
    This feels like slow torture (typed this seconds before the goal).
  21. Triplecast
    What’s this with NBC showing Canadian wipeouts?
  22. Triplecast
    Ok 1-2
  23. Triplecast
    You were spot on.
  24. Triplecast
    They may come under pressure but ignoring CAS opinion? Won't happen. IOC statement "We must follow the rule of law."
  25. Triplecast
    I'm curious as to what you think the lineup should be. Guigonnat replaces Jacquelin?
