    Caviezel is too slow
  2. heywoodu
    Oooh Solheim
  3. heywoodu
    They almost lucked through, but the two Norwegians who did finish were too fast
  4. heywoodu
    This will be hard to catch up for China!

    Congratulations to @hckošice One of my favourite medals of Beijing 2022
  6. heywoodu
    It likely will not be.

    We had Japan as main favourite in the women's team pursuit, Canada as clear silver favourite and the Netherlands as clear bronze favourite. That event seemed pretty straightforward from the get-go, were it not for Takagi's fall

    Especially biathlon, where basically anyone who has a chance in a certain event has a chance in every single event. Unlike cross-country skiing (a little, but much less) and definitely way unlike speed skating. That's not to say I want fewer events, by the way
  9. heywoodu
    Because those that are good in speed skating want to, well, stay good in speed skating And ice hockey is so tiny here, nobody really cares...you know, with some small exceptions of course.

    They've got quite a few Olympic golds in the normal one!
  11. heywoodu
    With the difference being that the sprints make literally no possible difference in the medal positions.

    "Normally they can't lose this." Dutch commentator about Schouten/Groenewoud. That can't go wrong!

    First Belgian Winter Olympic gold in 74 years
  14. heywoodu
    Awesome!! Basically the winner I had hoped for
  15. heywoodu
    But falls are not at all the main problem
  16. heywoodu
    And make it a distance event.
  17. heywoodu
    Oh, he's through to the final after all. I forgot in this event you have to wait for a while after the finish until you can really know what the result of the race is. Anyhow, the plan ("putting someone like Kramer in this event can scare the competition") doesn't seem to be that fantastic. Surprising
  18. heywoodu
    And that's Kramer out.
  19. heywoodu
    Right, the main speed skating is over, time for the circus We start with the men's Not-A-Marathon. Which could be Sven Kramer's last race. I hope not, it'd be cool to see him and Bergsma in the final and see how they solve the thing of having to kind of pretend to work together
  20. heywoodu
    Just to help confirming this: in the two important 1000m's they had before the Olympics, their last laps were roughly 0.1 second apart from each other. Verbij's last lap was a tiny bit faster once, Krol's last lap a tiny bit faster the other time. So yeah, without this situation it would most likely have been very tight indeed.
  21. heywoodu
    Yes, but why not show the speeds and the angles and such on other parts of the track? I mean, we know how the Kreisel goes now after two weeks, and this graphic is cool....but show the whole track every now and then.
  22. heywoodu
    What's with those track/angle graphics in all three sliding sports being shown basically all the time, but basically only around this specific point of the track? They've shown that literally dozens and dozens of times (if not a couple of hundred, considering the amount of runs in luge, skeleton and bobsleigh combined), but all the time it's just the part around the Kreisel
  23. heywoodu
    It does when it's already that cold. Keep them going for 2 hours and it's just asking for people to drop down out of the blue.
  24. heywoodu
    It's easy to be angry about it, but if it's -15 with the winds we've seen in the area today, this is really not a bad decision. An unfortunate one and I'm sad it had to be taken, but sadly a necessary one.
  25. heywoodu
    If it'd go to a 15k mass start, she's one of the main favourites Even with a 30k mass start she has more than an outside shot already.
