Swewi

They should have 2 weeks in North america every year! Biathlon too

I am of course happy with that Sweden for the first time wins the womens nations cup but I must still question the rules. They don´t count scores from pursuits or mass starts to the nations cup because they consider it´s unfair when all countries don´t have 3 or more athletes starting, but somehow they consider it is fair to include mixed relays and let male performances affect the ranking for women and the vice versa.So thanks to a mans disqualification (Jaqueline in the last single mixed) Sweden won the womens nations cup. Now I think Sweden would have won anyway if all mixed relays would have been discounted from the womens team ranking but still a bit weird to see how his failure had that impact on the womens cup.

Yeah I guess Weng and Slind Will be gone. Diggins retiring now after this season final. Frida Karlsson, Maja Dahlqvist and Moa Ilar have Said they Will most likely not continue after Falun 2027 (Frida is not even that old so I hope she changes her mind). Sundling is 31 but I could see her Continue actually. She has the potential to be a Björgen. Sprinter who can start dominate in distance after 30 +. Interesting that, also for men, it is quite many nations that are successful on junior and u23 level

After Falun in the 50km race in Holmenkollen Ebba Andersson Will miss the World cup finals. most likely Klaebo Will do the same after the fall in Drammen

Gabriel Gledhill (GBR) who was seen drafting behind Diggins during the race apparantly was drunk under the race as he accepted 10-12 beers and 5-6 shots from the attendees besides the course.

Triple for the Swedish ladies and none of those 3 raced the 50k in the olympics and Norwegian 1-8 on the mens side..

I think our main problem is that most swedes have difficulties with the altitude. Ponsilouma one of few exceptions. Elvira Öberg and Sebastian Samuelsson in particular have shown this many times. Sebastians 5th place in sprint was by far his best performance ever in Antholz as an example. Öbergs skipped Nove mesto to get some extra time on altitude agerad of the games but even that didnt help. then another factor is also that we bad skis in many (not all) races as well which was surprising because usually I think we have a much better wax team in biathlon than XC but not in the olympics.

Also Hanna would have won the globe if her sister didn't win today 😅

Skidskyttekampen - exhibition single mixed relay with many of the best just now from Stockholm Olympic stadium: https://www.svtplay.se/video/KRozgr3/skidskyttekampen/skidskyttekampen

Oh how I don't like the Falun stadium and its courses 🙃

I think the weather gods missed out on the news about Stockholm losing this voting because Stockholm had the best winter weather for many years during the last weeks, just for it to melt away immediately after the closing ceremony

What about her view on putting handball etc to winter and remove bob/skeleton/nordic combins etc?

Ben Hebert: "... We have a hockey mentality on our curling team, we’re not going to be bullied and pushed over by a bunch of Swedish guys out there that are getting their a**es handed to them." “We didn’t have any of that, we finished at the top of the podium with the gold and they finished dead last, so I think that says a lot.” Hebert is long known in curling media circles for not being afraid to speak his mind, and he didn’t let up in his ire when it came to the genesis of the entire situation -- Eriksson. “That snake in the grass,” Hebert said. “The stuff he tried to pull at the Olympics is not very Olympia of him… I lost a lot of respect for him with the stuff he tried to pull. He’s won the Olympics, they’ve won Grand Slams, they’ve won World Championships, and when they were at the high of their peak, you never saw that stuff from him. These last two or three years, they’ve been on a brutal stretch and pretty irrelevant in the curling world, haven’t won anything, they’re out of the Grand Slams, dead last in the Olympics puts a stamp on that.."

My proposal: Skimo: Only a long distance race Freestyle skiing: remove dual moguls or make it somehow different than regular moguls Like more focus in first to finish than technical score, otherwise it doesnt fit for a parallell format. Remove team events in freestyle. Alpine skiing: take back individual combined and remove the team event (but if they keep it, only allow one team/nation) Curling: consider to include a singles skills event Cross country skiing: can be kept it as it is but if they would consider removing team sprint, replace with having one sprint of each style. They could also make 50 km as individual start, and skiathlon should change order of free/classical between each championship. Luge/skeleton/bob: remove relays. There is already team events (2men/4men) Figure skating: remove team event Speed skating: replace team Pursuit with a relaty format. Remove mass start. Short track: remove some events, maybe relay, maybe 1000m or something. Biathlon: like the current programme but to be honest (and my proposal might be controversial) the Pursuit is maybe the best event showtime who is best actuslly over 6 shootings and in a combination of individual start and head to head but it is strange to give out medals for both sprint and for a following race with handicap start. Like the winner of round Robin curling would get a gold and then a new good in playoffs. Why not have a Pursuit based on a shooting contest or something instead of a previous medal event? Consider to include new sport: Bandy

Swiss women has been in the playoffs 2002,2006,2010,2014,2022 and 2026 and every time they have lost their final game, the golf medal or the Bronze medal game. Silver,silver,4th,4th,4th,silver sweden on the other hand won the finals in 2006,2010,2018,2026 and won the Bronze games in 1998 and 2022. Only exception is losing the gold game 2014

Yes definately an important shot after Sofias guard. fun fact about Agnes, she and Anna was born on the same day at the same hospital! Nothing did they know about their future together. Another fun fact, Agnes son is just a few days older than my daughter. Nothing do they know that we have Said that they Will be a mixed doubles pair in the future😄

At least we won the medal count if we ignore the men😂

Today Ebba could have afford to break her ski and make a vault like in the relay. and still win. And maybe 4 times and still medal😄

Agnes Knochenhauers 4th Olympic medal!

Rucka Michalek coming!

This looks very good, but can still not get over Frida and Jonnas sickness and that they already sent Svahn and Ilar home 😓 hope Stadlober or Kaelin gets Bronze!

Have they Said that?😓 Happy for Tyler Tardi. Disturbing to see Jacobs, Kennedy and Hebert win. They are however joining Anette Norbergs team, Rasmus Wranå, John Morris and Kaitlyn Lawes as the only curlers with 2 Olympic golds. Hasselborg's team Will hopefully join the same club today.

And also Jonna Sundling. So Sweden Will have 2 Skiiers today and one of them is Ribom who was not even intended to go the 50km.

Frida Karlsson having fever and by that it seems like her olympic career is over. Slind who Said earlier today, knowing she had symptoms, that she hoped Frida would fail, can now celebrate already

Forgot Jones played 2022, ofc! They really deserve to finally medal this time. also Tirinzoni/Pätz have struggled a lot in there olympic history so well deserved that they also have a medal now
