  1. Alright, but still you have the likes Dom Fischnaller missing out on a luge medal by 0.002. Would have been a tie in bobsleigh.
  2. I see, and shoot-offs in shooting where San Marino loses a medal are just as awesome?
  3. That's now 3 tied medals in the last 3 championships races in men's bobsleigh. If they don't introduce thousands now, they never will!
  4. Lochner with the 3rd slowest final run. A lot of sloppy runs all of a sudden.
  5. Sweden wins the direct battle for the 6th place on the medal table.
  6. 3 stone end for the Swedes! Uneducated crowd though. Korean misses her shot, putting it right in the house fully opened for a nose hit, and yet the crowd cheers!
  7. Broken handle for our team. They did well considering. Their starts plummeted by 0.2-0.3 per run due to injury troubles. It's officially the last competition of the Games for us.
  8. Our bobsled pilot Dražen Silić will be the flag bearer.
  9. I wonder if I'll continue my tradition of falling asleep during the Closing Ceremony (which started back at London 2012 and continued in a conving fashion)...
  10. 1st place in biathlon last year, 44th this year. It's safe to say that I'm out of shape.
  11. It was one of the best days for me. Cross-country skiing's 50km classic was most definitely the highlight for me. Not just of today, but probably of the whole Games too. I'm sooo happy for Niskanen. Have been a supporter of the Finnish team for a long time, and it gets hard when they often underperform at the Olympics. This was a perfect redemption in an absolutely thrilling race (didn't expect to ever say that for 50km mass start, however this one really looked like an interval start race for the most part!). It was a nail biter that kept me at the edge of the seat for 2 hours, which flew by very quickly. Alpine skiing team event went above my expectations. There were some thrilling races and I grew to like the winning team. Speed skating mass starts provided the first medal for Belgium in ages, however I hoped to see more interesting finishes (and more new nations on the podium). Some good performances for the smaller teams were heart warming, even though those 4th-5th places may have been far away from the medals. Men's curling gold medal match turned out to be pretty entertaining with the underdog taking the title. 3rd period of ice hockey bronze medal match was equally exciting. Didn't catch too much of bobsleigh today. Still I'm pleased with improved performance from our team, which has been struggling with injuries though. Snowboarding competitions were the disappointments of the day. Big air had few too many falls, while PGS had an unfair course. Also women's curling bronze medal match was rather dull with barely any offence or interesting shots being played.
  12. Oh right, I forgot to check the Soviet Union. Still it's the best result for independent Estonia (bettering 15th place from 1928). Also made a mistake with Belarus, who of course has that silver from 1994.
  13. have all achieved their best ever speed skating results... One would suggest that ISU intentionally put those sprints for the interested parties (those who may be seeking funding).
  14. Pretty boring match. Not a single end with 2 stones... Japanese mostly got lucky.
  15. So, first medal for since 1998, and first silver since 1948.
  16. Pretty sure that Kramer just worked for Verweij.
  17. It's funny how 5th place for Thorup gives the feeling "So close to a medal!", even though it wasn't close at all.
  18. Isn't Wenger supposed to be a legit medal contender...
