Dunadan

I was watching this on local television just now. There were two racers left when the station cut the coverage to show an NBA game. What the?! 

6 out of 6 incoming...it will be a legendary 10/10 sweep in sliding sports for GER.

Sure, I agree that sucks as well, but today the director literally skipped like 90% of the incredibly tense fight for silver and bronze so they could show a solo winner go all the way to the finish and then stay there a while after the finish....and then when they finally skipped to the actual fight going on, they missed the one in second position  

Good attempt at jinxing them.

Everytime a Russian Performs the Olympics is losing more and more viewers permanently. This could be the final straw for many. Many will simply refuse to watch Paris and Milan if Russians are there. 

alpine countries (switzerland, austria) are the strongest in alpine skiing

BREAKING NEWS
 
insidethegames.biz just spread the news that jury d'appeal decided to add 0.75 pts to @Dunadan score for famously picking @hckošice as a winner in a snowboardcross (Poll #6)
 
https://totallympics.com/topic/12414-winter-olympic-games-beijing-2022-poll-6-day-6-who-will-win-mens-snowboardcross-final/
 
this is because @Dunadan couldn't obviously predict that @hckošice will DNS because he will NOT BE ALLOWED to perform by the jury due to coming to the start platform - hmmm... how to say it... not very sober...
that awful thing happened because he was supposed to join Vlhova Team Party the day before for only 15 minutes, but well...
 
IOC spokeperson says those are only rumours
 
but what-the-hell... we add 0.75 pts to @Dunadan in our rankings already
 
New rankings coming soon
 
 
 
 
PS. For fans:
 
This whole thing is A JOKE, you know ;-)
 

These are the 2018 medals if we follow the 2022 schedule. I have put the 2022 medals in brackets for comparison. There have been 4 new events so far, so the 2022 table has that many additional medals compared to 2018.
 
1.   5-7-5 (4-2-4)
 
2.   4-4-3 (1-2-5)
 
3.   4-4-2 (3-3-1)
 
4.   4-3-4 (5-3-0)
 
5.   4-0-0 (4-1-2)
 
6.   3-2-1 (1-5-1)
 
7.   2-1-3 (2-4-4)
 
8.   2-1-2 (2-4-1)
 
9.   2-1-0 (1-5-0)
 
10.   1-3-1 (1-0-3)
 
11.   1-1-2 (1-0-1)
 
12.   1-0-1 (1-0-0)
 
13.   0-2-2 (1-1-2)
 
14.   0-1-3 (2-3-6)
 
15.   0-1-1 (2-1-2)
 
16.   0-1-0 (1-0-1)
 
16.   0-1-0 (1-0-0)
 
18.   0-0-2 (0-0-1)

So Norway lost a LOT of medals compared to 2018 so far, but they somewhat saved themselves by winning one of the new events. Canada and United States are also doing quite terribly. Germany is the only top nation of 2018 that won more gold medals compared to the previous Games (+1 gold in Luge, +1 gold in Biathlon, -1 gold in Ski Jumping, so overall it's +1). China benefitted the most from the new events, they have won 2 out of the 4. 

Sad for them but, as I said, I prefer these funding systems to not be very successful - I prefer NOCs (or whoever distribute funds) that give broad support to athletes in a wide range of sports, and don't consider only (very) short terms medals won.

I bet she has regretted making that comment for years now. One of the easiest things to mock in WOG history. You don't throw away Olympic gold medal like that.

Easy, Lukas Hofer.

Dominik Fischnaller (luge). No team relay but luckily he was still negative yesterday.

Close to losing the silver, gold was already assigned - first or not at the finish  

Very boring speech, let Winnie speak.

So after a few years the only publicly available footage of each edition will be 2-minutes highlights videos?

Then again, knowing that travelling is a risk, close contacts and so on, it's just stupid at this point to go to China 3 days before official training of their competition. Should have been there one week ago if not more.
