sure...but since it all started with my post, I feel a little guilty (in this specific circumstance)... however, once again I agree...it should be a general rule not to spoil other sports results in different threads (meanwhile it's obvious that the specific thread for each sport can have live commentaries)...

sorry, guys! it wasn't my intention to make a spoiler...it's just anger for what happened at the Gangneung Arena... however, it's official...no DQ for Italy...so we can enjoy our 8th medal of these Games...

it will take some time...be patient (however, Fourcade did the same move in the pursuit final straight and he wasn't DQ...so, probably we'll be, of course...you can't judge the same thing twice the same way )...

this time I agree at 101%

German clean sweep incoming, I fear...

actually the man ahead has the right to choose his lane...but I guess that Windisch did it a bit too late, when he already entered the marks (where you can't change lane anymore)... so, I guess a DQ would be correct...but after having watched the Short Track before... I want that Gold back before paying a tribute to justice...

this goes directly beside Seoul 1998 Olympic boxing and Korea/Japan 2002 football world cup... they didn't do anything so clearly sh*tty yet...but now they've gone beyond big time... shame to Korea and to those fuc*in' corrupted judges...

there are Countries buying Ahn Yoon Soo (making him jus Victor An), other can only afford to rent Cynthia Mascitto...

naaa...it was VK who impeded the German, who fell down and took the Dutch with her... for what concerns Prosvirnova, if only the tv director did show the right replays...

those judges!

strike! NED to be DSQ, I guess...

penalty (and yellow card, too..but it doesn't mean nothing, since her Games are over)...

Christie is clearly injured after the 1500m race fall... but she's tough... it looks she's through, but I think there's room for an impeding penalty...

for sure finishing last in a preliminary group with 4 points it's unusual, strange and frustrating... but this Olympic Tournament format is so idiot... however, your team has already shown some good stuff...I mean, you've been able to come back from a quick 0-2 against the mighty Russians (OK, they did fall asleep after the second goal, but still you have to be able to take advantage of such things)... and also against the US boys they didn't play that bad...of course they made some capital mistakes, but you have to expect a young a newly formed team to have some inconsistency problems and to make some mistakes due to the lack of experience in many guys in the roster (and, as good and well accepted by the team as he is, a foreign coach sometimes is not ideal in this kind of situations)... if I have to find something that I really didn't like, I have to say that especially in the last minutes of regulation and in the OT of the game against Slovenia I saw too many selfish plays, too many guys trying to go always and only one-on-more than one against the Slovenian defencemen...they wasted quite a good number of scoring chances because of that...and when it matters most (especially in games when you get few scoring chances like the playoffs ones), I don't think SVK it's a team that can afford to have this kind of attitude...they must be effective, they must capitalize on any small chance, be like ants and not cicadas... in any case, I think tonight it's gonna be a close match and you have all the chances to come up with a different result from last week's game and "fill your contract"... p.s. I guess these last 2 posts should rather be placed on the Olympic Ice Hockey Tournament's thread...

Sergei Litvinov (URS), Seoul 1988 Hammer Throw Olympic Champion passes away at the age of 60... http://www.sportstarlive.com/athletics/olympic-hammer-champion-litvinov-passes-away/article22801356.ece R.I.P.

last time he ran for nothing (his 6.37 in Clemson will never be ratified because there weren't the electronic starting blocks), but this time nobody will take the record off him... Christian Coleman runs 6.34 over the 60m dash at the US Champs in Albuquerque... https://www.iaaf.org/news/report/christian-coleman-world-record-us-indoor-cham meanwhile, Seoul 1988 Hammer Throw Olympic Champion Sergei Litvinov (URS) passes away at the age of 60... http://www.sportstarlive.com/athletics/olympic-hammer-champion-litvinov-passes-away/article22801356.ece

thanks...I think I'm going to record it and watch it later in the morning (since there's not much goin' on until 11 a.m.)...

really... picture of the Games so far...

good luck! p.s. is it on STV1 or STV2? STV1, I guess (but I need your confirmation)...

he's definitely ready to become a member of the Italian team...

I don't see the need for that, since women's hockey is still a 2-side game... I'm watching the first semifinal (USA vs FIN) right now (I'm in the 2nd period, 7 mins still to be played)...and there's no match even at this stage... frankly, I'm not interested at all in watching other games like GER vs SUI or RUS vs CZE in their female version...
