Not yet, but she is in trouble for missing three tests. How can one miss three tests, at home? Come on.

And thanks, bookmakers still have odds of 2+ (even 2.75) for Russia/OAR to win the gold Now I am very well aware nobody ever has 100% chance to win anything, but that does sound good

Real Madrid got beaten by Leganes yesterday, so they're not that good? Kidding of course, thanks, this comparison makes it pretty clear what to expect

Are they that good compared to even Canada?

One wonders whether this is Olympic quota allocation or a standard (giant) slalom..

Like 20 minutes after I got a response to my Instagram message

Not because of obscure rules, but because the Slovenian women didn't perform well enough. The rules were rather clear.

That's a lot shorter ago than I thought.

Go Wozniacki, win my bet after 8 years....

This match is a serious challenge for one's ears by the way

Too bad IBSF won't be allowed to use their usual YouTube live streams, since Martin Haven never has any troubles with that name (which he basically simply says in two syllables)

Weird things can always happen. Just look at Andrew Weibrecht, who basically has never even been close to being a real top of the world class kind of skier (obviously he's good, but barely top-30 kind of good), yet finds himself with an Olympic bronze and silver medal at home.

But surely there must be better things than big air or slopestyle, especially on the women's side? I've seen both of them a few times this season and, apart from maybe Anna Gasser, nothing happens. Half of them do like one turn, and if they land in a decent way they get a top-10. At least in freestyle skiing there's a bit more of a spectacular 'look' to it sometimes.

I'm not sure if it exists, but if it does, I'm pretty sure non-trained people wouldn't be allowed on them You know, to prevent being killed and such.

Still, this is getting worrying.

Meanwhile in the Vuelta a San Juan, the stage has been neutralized with around 20k to go because riders have to cross a river, which is a bit...problematic Well everyone made it across it seems, on to the finish

He was caught somewhere last year, wasn't he? I'm sure there was something about him in the news last year, I think it was the doping test for some hormone or something.

This is gonna be heartbreaking if they don't confirm it today though..

Togo

Well, I've sent the Kenyan skier an Instagram message, who knows..
