Pretty lopsided semis based on seeding standings. But Canada will take it!

Critchlow with an amazing comeback and finish to get into the semis with Odine!

What a finish!!!

All 4 Canadians advance!

All 4 Canadians advance in boardercross!

Yeah, I thought everyone got through but they only had a Q next to the top 16.

Good news for short track, Canadian women relay is not in the same semi final as the Chinese team, so they probably won't mysteriously get DQed, at least until the final.

Two Canadians into the boardercross.

And that's that.

This just sounds like backtracking because of pressure from the locals. Su missed half the rail section, him winning gold off of one jump (that he put hands down on) would be even more ridiculous. Like you said, Canada and Parrot in particular has been shafted in this event the last 2 Olympics and no one said anything about Americans getting undeserved golds. Frankly, it's unprofessional and unclassy to say shit like this after the fact by judges.

Tonight I went out for dinner and drinks (mostly drinks) with some friends in Wukesong, where the Wukesong Hockey Arena is located. Wukesong isn't really a neighbourhood, it's a purposefully made nightlife area (though they close by 11pm apparently...). It is sunken and has tons of "foreign" restaurants and bars, and an Ikea. It is a 15 minute scooter ride from my place. The Japan/Czechia hockey game was just finishing up when I got there. Here are some pics of the venue.

No, I was just making fun of myself. You already asked about short track and I knew the answer was Fontana but I went homer pick instead. This is why I don't bet money on sports, I can't bet against the people I want to win.

Tonight I went out with some British and South African friends and on the Chinese news on the TV in the restaurant they showed Canada winning the ski jump medal (only the Canadian team). This was in the middle of short track and Eileen Gu news. Everyone was impressed, and I was impressed that they made a point to show every Canadian jump on Chinese news. I had already screamed the news of the medal to my friends the night before, so they knew but they got to see the jumps for the first time. Told them it was like South Africa winning a curling medal or GB winning a hockey medal. Unbelievable.

Came here to suggest this. They've improves since Tokyo, now you can simply click on "watch replays" at the top of their main page and get to the videos without scrolling through spoilers. cbc.ca/olympics (have to be in Canada, but free from there).

You need to start asking about sports I know more about, like curling. So I can get those wrong, too.

Just to note, Gu is on almost every commercial now. Look forward to seeing her face on every billboard in a day or two. Good for her. Get your coins, girl!

How does that qualification work?

Man, if he didn't have that one miss... But still a phenomenal performance.

Another miracle for Canada?

Scott Gow currently in 4th in biathlon!

On paper Canada was the best team here. That paper was burned in a big fire a few days ago. Sweden wouldn't even be here if Canada didn't choke multiple times.

Wow, this is looking like powerhouse Australia dominating underdog Canada a couple of days ago.
