Jasmin Holtermann from the danish curling team has decided to retire

Well. 

Having gotten it a bit at a distance a few comments about my experiences
 
Travel:
Very happy. Flying to and from was a breeze (the plane home slighty delayed). The same can be said about getting around in Milano. Getting around outside was of course slightly harder, especially with some delays back from Antholx (but i guess that's not a big surprise when a lot of people leave a place in the mountains)
 
Atmosphere:
Very happy around the venues, but it's also very clear that it's smaller than the Summer games. People weren't following the events wherever you went. Alcohol certainly made a difference between Paris and now. Sadly did experience a few who should certainly have stopped a couple of beers earlier. 
 
The logistics at the venues: 
Very easy to see that Santagiulia is new and absolutely not a perfect venue. Seems like some kinks were fixed when I got there, but there's still stuff to work out. The food at the Milano venues were meh and there were quite some lines. Tesero was a chaos when it came to getting food, but the quality was slightly better at the skiing venues.

On my way back to Milan now.
Will take a look at the cauldron and maybe a bit more "Olympic tourism" before I have a concert in the evening.
It has been a blast and I'm sure that I'll be back for some biathlon in Antholz some day. More generally this certainly won't be my last time going to winter sports (strongly considering the Worlds in Falun next year).
 
Milano... Well. I guess I'll be back in the future, but mainly to see some of the historic sights and would also love to see a match at San Siro before demolition.
 
And @heywoodu A dane cheered for @brunamoura. Now you can cheer a bit for Anne today  

It sounds just wrong. Winter sport is snow and ice.
 
If considering reducing Summer Games™ there is another solution: we have Summer Games™, we have Winter Games™, all we need are just Autumn and Spring games™! 
 
All "summer" indoor sports go to Autumn Games™. Questionable are sports for Spring Games™ - but we could find it out. 
 
We can have Olympics™ every year - it is 100% more Olympics™ per year! 
And of course, more $$$  for the IOC!  

Yeah. Felt rather charming looking for team bases while on the bus  
But yeah. Saint-Jean-de-Sixt should be the village for biathlon and cross-country skiing

With 5 Olympic Villages planned I would guess that some will be rather basic as well. Meanwhile it is also partially the nations themselves making those decisions to go for a hotel instead.

That's the danger of having nothing besides sports in your life. Every young athlete needs to be made clear how important it is to at least finish a basic bit of education or something. Sure, Bruna does nothing with her diploma in her job, but...she has a regular job, and with winter being more or less over, she's gonna have a lot to do and I do think that will help avoiding Olympic Blues.

But it's not without reason that Olympic Blues is considered a thing for the athletes. It's rough for us fans, but for the athletes who have been training for it all their life it's often worse

I'm strongly considering going for a prolonged weekend. Will happy cheer for Bruna again if it happens

Kind of literally having to see what we're going to do with our lives now after these past years of almost non-stop stress and pressure and decisions  
 
Who knows if Falun 2027 will be possible...  

I think a lot of us know the feeling. Feeling rather sad right now. Post-olympic blues coming up

The Danish commentators haven't shut up for more than a couple of seconds a time  

Interesting that Ebba is both flag bearer and will be given her gold medal here

Our Olympic Totallympian has delivered one promised pack of stroopwafels, as promised after the 10k, to one J. Diggins
 

The Swedish bosses will be kicking themselves for their decisions to send skiers home!

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.
 

All up to Viktor to secure the small-nation medal, then

Say what you want. It was a masterpiece! 

I'm shaking! (And I'm pissed that I didn't buy that ticket! )

Viktor Hald Thorup joins Anne for Denmark 

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
