Only way for Belgium to realistically perform a miracle, so I hope it keeps up like this

Not whoring our passports out to athletes from other nations

Belgian dominance

I know, 7 shootings to go and Belgium starts with their top athlete, but still, Belgium in 3rd place for now, that's awesome

Slight but important change since yesterday: I would like to change 'my best friend in the world' to 'my girlfriend'

34.92 for Pedro Causil in the B division in SLC, meaning history: the first South American ever to get under the all-important 35-second barrier

My flag has been hijacked. It was pretty funny to see that, when Bruna and me were cheering for Gabi at the end of the lap, quite some time after the lead groups had passed, people who were standing next to us started cheering for Gabi too People like underdogs

Yep, many did that, but she stepped over the lines and continued her way, while the others (including Gabi, a Canadian and a German) went back and then took the right direction. Really the fault of the organizers, it was very unclearly marked.

Yeah, breathing problems, too bad. The prone was promising though

A little cloudy, but lovely weather for a single mixed in Lenzerheide

http://biathlon.com.ua/comments.php?lang=ukr&id=8100 Google translates it like she said the opposite (that she'll most likely stop after this season).

Some pictures from today's training in Lenzerheide, where the weather was just absolutely gorgeous (although sadly that will change a little in the next days)

Is C doing a Heil Hitler there?

Yeah, a lot of people don't want to see the Russians at the Olympics, all thanks to Putin and Mutko and the others who organized the state-sponsored doping system. Good job

And they weren't just somebodies, they were like two of the biggest stars of the last Olympics

Just to clarify: SHE contacted ME, not the other way around (I had only even read her name once as part of Ribela's answers to my interview about his project)

In steps First I had a Brazilian girlfriend, who later became my ex-girlfriend. Then it was time for the Winter Olympics of 2010 and on the biggest Dutch forum, every year there is the 'support an exotic nation' thread (which I introduced here on Totallympics last year), so naturally I chose Brazil. I did so again for 2014, this time asking athlete Leandro Ribela a couple of questions. A year later I did that again, since he had quite an interesting project ot help children from the favelas (Ski na Rua - ski on the street), I published that on a Dutch website, he posted it on his Facebook and this new Brazilian biathlete (Bruna Moura) suddenly DM'ed me asking if I was an athlete or a fan. That led to her being without a doubt my best friend in the world now, almost 3 years later And since the other young Brazilian biathlete is her best friend (together with me now ) and they absolutely always hang out together wherever they can, I'm now friends with both of them and whenever I visit them for a competition (this is the 3rd time) we mostly hang out together with the three of us

Brazilian flag packed, check. Ok I've got everything, time to go say hi to the Brazilian biathletes in Switzerland

Nobody said that

Full article, which contains all the relevant info: https://www.olympic.org/news/ioc-suspends-russian-noc-and-creates-a-path-for-clean-individual-athletes-to-compete-in-pyeongchang-2018-under-the-olympic-flag Sounds like a pretty reasonable decision. The people up high are screwed and some athletes will have a chance to compete. Not bad at all.

Rewinding isn't working well so I can't hear, but I wouldn't be surprised

Colombian Edwin Mosquera, 15th in Rio, was shot dead after a bar fight in his home city https://www.elespectador.com/deportes/otros-deportes/el-pesista-colombiano-edwin-mosquera-fue-asesinado-en-palmira-articulo-726459 http://www.iwf.net/results/athletes/?athlete=mosquera-roa-edwin-orlando-1985-07-26&id=7864

Neutral jerseys, sort of like half the world in sports like biathlon where a ton of them have basically the same colours.

Boooooo, no curling on my TV then

Bought the ES Player after all?
