And the last place goes to...?

Pogorilaya it's not just back injury... Also a result of the infamous "Pogo fail". Meaning that Russian selectors probably wouldn't pick her even if she wasn't injured.

Here are the entries. There are 65 athletes in total, but 8 nations have 5 athletes, so those extras drop out. It can actually be less, but no more than 57 athletes will start in the NH.

Apparently a grand total of 7 atheltes will be eliminated in qualifications. Which leaves two very important questions: 1) Who will be eliminated? 2) Who will finish last? My prediction for eliminated athletes is for sure... 1-3 from . 1-2 from . Maybe ... It would be really depressing if all 3 Estonians place in bottom 7 and therefore get eliminated before the Opening ceremony. The second one is easy, either or a certain athlete (Maltsev).

That's because Togo dropped out.

Downhill skier learns the rails.

Indeed, the real question is if Kazakhstani jumper will finish last.

You sure there's nothing scary about brooms?

Not good was having spring weather in both Sochi and Vancouver. This is a blessing.

That is so ugly...

But IBSF calls it "Women's bobsleigh". And speaking of confusing names, I guess the likes of "super-g" are self explanatory?

I would point out to Totallympics that Women's bobsleigh competition is simply called "Women's bobsleigh", and not "Women's 2-man" as it's written everywhere here.

Brady is a bit too old to catch the ball, as some people would say.

4 tries for 10 years? That's easy!

Ok, I found something. Now I just have to realize what the hell is going on.

Wait, where can I watch the superbowl?
