Holy Christ.

Apparently the strategy is for other skaters is to just bump the Canadians...

I don't understand no PEN on Lui Shaolin there.

We Are Wipeout

Good job Canadians so far!

AH! How did the Swiss guy miss the open net!

What a thrilling competition! Can't wait for the men tomorrow, and of course the mixed team.

Absolutely thrilling competition. All Canadians did so well. SBX mixed team looking good!

BRONZE!!!

Hopefully more like that last QF.

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.
