Another delay following a crash from a forerunner. Maybe get better forerunners next time?

Some info coming out is that the doctor on the Eteri Tutberidze's team is the very same doctor responsible for those six Russian rowers testing positive shortly before Tokyo (remember how Lithuania received a reallocation two days before the heats?). By the way this is definitely not just some rumor. There are even social media posts where he is all smiling with Tutberidze's girls. At this point it seems fairly certain that Valieva will not be allowed to start, and that the ROC team will be disqualified... Anything else would start a backlash. Olympics are already on thin ice, and to let someone compete who tested positive and had her suspension lifted one (1) day after would be nothing more than a bad joke.

The French sled looks amazing. I like the Canadian and American sleds too. Slovakia is good, but unlike other nations they are using just their usual coat, not the special Olympic one.

Alexander will probably be a minute off the pace. If he finishes.

Course on hold because a ski got lost in the powder. Wow...

Medals for the Netherlands and Australia? Sliding sports are saved! Funny how some users dismissed Narracott's podium from St. Moritz in one of the other threads. Based in GB, I guess she sort of continues their women's skeleton medal streak.

Plenty of individuals just collecting medals in Beijing. JTB, QFM, MOR.

Of course this song will now live rent-free in my head for the remainder of the day.

Not quite as good as their performance from the team event... There were some mistakes (well, imperfections). Looks like it will be between two American pairs only for bronze.

But they blew it on the midnight blues. Turned out too costly.

I don't even like Billie Eilish, but I love this program. It's a work of art.

Well then I have missed something from the theme. But the general theme is indeed street dance so should be exclusively modern music.

The theme of the season for rhythm dance is street dance (blues, hip hop, disco).

And make that another pair who finally sees the Olympics. Laurence and Nikolaj!

G/P-S qualified for the free dance! Tina always looks ready for red carpet.

Latvia not getting lapped is the best part of the race. Still they lost to Estonia just narrowly. Pitty.

Still better directing than biathlon, where minor nation is not worth showing even when they have Bib 3 or something. Nope, some bad drone shots of the "favorite" Bib 2 it is.

Ugh. Rubbish race.

Right. Tomorrow I guess they are going for Maki on Leg 1 and Niskanen on Leg 3.

Yeah, this is gold for Germany....

Finland is doing everything wrong today...

Not looking good for Sweden now.

Fossesholm is already showing her amazing talent. No wonder the fans were begging to see Eckhoff.

Johaug is making that (oops ) gold happen...

Well, hope Latvia still survives three legs at least.
