There's a good chance Blokhuijsen will be selected anyway, because of the pursuit. If I was a 1500m specialist, I'd not finish 3rd there..

Alpine skier Michel Macedo has been selected by the Brazilian snow sports federation, beating Guillherme Grahn in the process He's Brazil's first officially chosen snow sports athlete of the 2018 Winter Olympics http://www.cbdn.org.br/cbdn2/aos-19-anos-michel-macedo-garante-vaga-para-os-jogos-olimpicos-de-inverno-no-ski-alpino/

This is not promising to be a fantastic night.

Dutch TV interview guy asking Russ Bray what he does when he has to sneeze, cough or fart on stage

So, Jorrit Bergsma qualified after all, as expected. Meh.

A nation* can have a maximum of 4 athletes per event, right? (and max 14 men and 14 women for a max total of 22) *meaning a top nation, I know this doesn't go for the Lebanon's and Eritrea's of this world

This was impressive to see by the way, even in the penalty loop in Obertilliach she was skiing like a woman on a mission, full-power and filled with 'competitive aggressiveness'

But unlike the Wüst-Verweij combo, that's not going to be that public (presumably)

Which should more or less give De Jong a decent chance of making it as well, since the 1500m might well be filled up with already qualified athletes. I guess Wüst and girlfriend De Jong will share a room then, so no more succesful Wüst-Koen Verweij room like in Sochi where they decided to share a room and had a ton of fun

That is so unfair.

Van den Bergh is on his way to kick out Suljovic

A country can only participate in international competition when having an ice rink? That sounds hard to believe and rather unfair..

World sprint champion Kai Verbij won't start in the 1000m. In his 500m yesterday he needed three starts (because of Ntab's false starts) and in the third one he got a groin injury. He still managed to qualify, but now will be out for a few weeks. The big question is whether or not the Dutch federation will choose him for the Olympic 1000m anyway or not.

29-year old Dutch player Toon Greebe is in the intensive care unit of a hospital. He went there with an infection on his foot, which turned out to be so severe that yesterday doctors had to amputate his foot in order to try and save his life. Ten years ago he was a rather big talent, playing in the 2008 and 2010 PDC world champs (where he lost in the 1st round against two very big players, Peter Manley and John Part). Nowadays he plays/played in the BDO and almost qualified for Lakeside this year, he was one win away.

Popovoc behind Jelinkova, we win

Alright. Enjoy

Only a matter of days ago we were all cheering for Ignjatovic almost making a top-16 in the World Cup if I'm not mistaken

In this shape, Shiffrin might even be a real contender for Olympic gold in February.

Shiffrin came through the Christmas days rather well

Well, not enough fire for The Iceman.

Price is on fire too

Kagawa That kid doesn't have a winner's mentality, crying after half a minute of this

Van der Voort is awake, starting the day with a 156 finish

Antonio Alcinas Darren Webster Jamie Lewis James Richardson One of these will make the semi finals

Don't know why it's sad when a 'new', relatively young player has the match of his life and puts down a huge surprise
