Because why hurry

I watch a bit of equestrian once in four years and if the jumping is shown on Dutch TV that's with Dutch commentary, if it's only on a stream it's with no commentary. I've also never had the need to watch gymnastics with English commentary. There really isn't that much I need to watch with English commentary, luckily.

Because I usually have 0 reason to watch alpine skiing with English commentary and both German and Dutch commentators use 'Einfädler'

Apart from Victoria Demchenko, who sort of pretends to be never smiling but always seems to work very hard to appear in control of her smile when kinda joking around

Thanks to the alpine skiing commentator, I learned a new English word https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straddle_(skiing) I had never in my life heard that be called any different than the German word "Einfädler"

I forgot to post a new team, sorry for the extra work @Wumo (my 'new' team was supposed to be the old one so it doesn't matter in that regard)

It feels like there used to be 4-5 big events and a couple of smaller events. This calendar just seems like a collection of small events

There are only two 1000-events? I feel like this too is just going downhill, no pun intended.

That would be pretty cool too. It's not a big deal, stop making big deals out of things that completely aren't

The chant is only in the first part?

Also, that sounds pretty awesome. The skating to a Buddhist chant thing, not the idiotic "omg can't do that" reactions people would have on social media if this was a bigger event.

Quick, everyone go to Twitter and burn this youth athlete to the ground because reasons !!

That's when the medals are being decided in two luge events, so a big no to that. Sports > the rest.

I'm trying to catch up with the alpine skiing, but am I seeing it right they streamed the women's giant slalom live (on YouTube).....but only the 1st run?

Hanna Sola with the race of her life, 4th!

Who says he wasn't trying to show his love for Malaysia?

Yeah, no way the DJ had the Slovak and US anthems prepared in a women's slalom race....

I could get behind this completely

Of course, and a respectable Republican Centrist won't likely vote for Sanders

And people who'd be more inclined to vote for Trump can't see a single responsible Centrist vote for Sanders. This really means nothing.

Updated

Yes, I apparently have.

Time travel, considering this competition starts in more than 5 months from now?
