Asselin out of slopestyle, apparently.

Whoops, yup. Wrong thread.

That truly would be a miracle.

They're too powerful, especially in sports like figure skating. Russia will also use it politically as an excuse to continue to attack others. I don't want to get political, but unfortunately it already is.

They won't. Unfortunately.

Three Canadians into the final of Big Air (maybe not the three we would have thought). Sharpe survived 9 guys falling to get him to the final. Parrot qualifies in first.

Wrong thread.

It's ridiculous. They say it's provisional until further investigation, but we all know they're just trying to wait until the heat is off. Their other excuse is that she's a minor. Yeah, so I guess Russia should just concentrate on doping their children now. But what difference does it make, they get away with everything.

Seb Touts will not repeat as Big Air champ. Just hope he's okay.

Yes, Russia should concentrate on only drugging their minor athletes now. Obviously it works.

What is most frustrating as someone in Beijing right now (though I've been fortunate enough to see some stuff live) is that the Olympics are off limits but you can take a crowded subway to a restaurant or bar right outside the venue and sit there without a mask on with hundreds of other people. It makes little sense to me. I feel as though covid is more of an excuse than anything, but I don't really want to go into more details until later.

Velieva cleared to compete. Discrediting the sport, and the Olympics, even further. https://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/winter/figure-skating/doping-hearing-russian-figure-skater-kamila-valieva-ruling-expected-mondady-1.6350402

Yeah, very upsetting especially because it was on the last jump when she was already qualified.

I do NOT want that American girl to be seriously hurt. But, Oldham is in the 13th position right now... Asselin will likely qualify.

Blouin and Baird both qualify for big air final, Blouin in 4th.

Her last run was not great and she came out of the start already behind. A podium certainly wasn't certain in this event, so a bronze is fine. I'm more trying to ignore who got gold, and for which country.

De Bruin with bronze.

Canadians in first and second!

Edit: I have changed my opinion.

De Bruin stays in 2nd after the 3rd run.

Positive vibes today.

Hey, a Canadian on top! Haven't seen that too much these Olympics...

Entertaining end to the USA/GER game.

I am not sold on this hockey team.
