Hirano!

Decent switch 1260 faceplant for Chase

Do the slalom and giant slalom have to be done before a certain day or else risk being scrapped alltogether as well? (before the closing ceremony, of course, but you get the point )

Totsuka still beat Piiroinen's first run by a huge margin (when speaking in percentages), 7.00 vs 4.50.

I heard the BBC commentator say "there might even be a kicked salad in there!" after (I believe) James' run.....now I'm really curious what a kicked salad trick is.

Ah no, Totsuka

I agree, just like I'm still waiting for the women's slopestyle final to start..

Not gonna be the winning score though

Piiroinen's score looks like the difficulty in artistic gymnastics.

Ooooh damn, White

Black Power, Russian doping scandal in 2016, Tonya Harding...nobody knows those

Although to be fair, Brazil's chances are in absolutely no way even remotely comparable to Belgium's chances

Excellent timing, meaning it won't start before the half pipe final finished

Here we go

Which, at least for me, takes away some doubt and just makes it enjoyable to watch. He does something else, I like people who do something else.

Gerard almost missed the slopestyle final because he fell asleep the night before while watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine, then slept through his alarm https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/kzpbvz/this-teen-overslept-after-a-late-night-of-netflix-and-still-won-olympic-gold-vgtrn

Yep This was from the official website (as anyone can clearly see), but before Geisenberger's gold. Nothing too serious, obviously, as anyone will clearly understand.

Epic Nuis vs Verweij battle in the 1500m was a huge disappointment, although Roest and Kim were nice surprises on the podium. Nice to see Klaebo won, but yeah, not that exciting at all. I really liked the luge, or at least part of it: the fight for the medals behind Geisenberger, where Gough was going through hell for throwing away a medal, then two minutes later had the moment of her life when Hüfner failed and she won a medal after all! Snowboarding halfpipe qualifying was just amazing, that was one of my highlights.

Yeah he's not someone who keeps his cool easily I mean, in a race, he definitely can, but his reactions...nah. Example of keeping his cool in a race: even at this Olympics half the field went down but he stayed perfectly calm, barely moved and escaped without trouble.

Indeed, it'd be one hell of a 'fuck you' to Ludwig if suddenly they'd change that now. Not that Germany is not the clear team favourite now, that gold medal chance maybe goes down by a few % with Ludwig instead of Loch, but they're still far ahead of anyone else if Ludwig, Geisenberger and whichever double don't do anything stupid. Unless the Austrian woman pulls off a miracle run maybe.

When I saw that slow motion and she went up on the track, it looked like her feet/ankles just snapped in half....the biggest surprise of the day for me was when a few minutes later she was walking (sure, with some support, but with her feet on the ground).

Yeah I wondered what happened with Hakola all of a sudden. Totally gassed or something? I mean, he's good but it's not like you'd normally put him in the list of 1-2 favourites, so one can imagine that he gave it his all to make it to the final.. @Finnator123 Any chance to help us out?

Klaebo

So far it's of course the totally expected order
