Snow fall after years.. and the city is blocked 

Congratulations to the winners and a big thanks for organizing the contest 

PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Bet Contest Final Standing available here
 
 
 Dunadan  phelps  Albe  
 
Italian 1-2-3 for our Bet Contest! @Dunadan impressive as always, managed to obtain a mind-blowing 212 points out of a possible 250 (with 49 bets won). Second place for @phelps who won more bets than Dunadan (51 to be exact), but lost key points in a few bets. 3rd place for @Albe, who was the participant that won the most bets of all (54, really impressive).
A special mention to 4th placer @Nate River, unfortunately he couldn't give Canada the first prediction medal of the year (those missed 10-pointers in Speed Skating...).
 
With this, I now go back to prediction management retirement. I won't be organizing the next editions of Bet Contest (unless no one else is willing to do it), so thank you all for everything, from the Bet Contest Organization Committee (LDOG & Quasit)
 

Yes, if you already have a tv channel showing those 3/4 games a week, it would be enough to start...
only when (because it's not a question of "if", it's only about "when" ) you get addicted like me and @hckosice...that's the right moment to opt for NHL.tv first...and for a good psychiatrist, then...

Ireland equaled our record medals tally at WOG, not bad

Just wait for Men's WC in Denmark. NHL players can play in that tournament  

Judging by photos of last summer one would have though Koukalova took some classes with Der Jan  

Well, they got beaten in 5 events, so imagine how good those winners must be to beat a team full of medication 

@heywoodu New ice hockey fan is born. Welcome to our familly

Welcome nightmares.
 

I've never watched so much ice hockey in my life as I watched in these Olympics alone, so it's easy to say that they were the best matches I ever saw  But yeah, I enjoyed it a lot and it made me want to watch ice hockey a lot more 

Yep  

Instead of extinguishing the flame, how about we extinguish Bach?
 
 

"...To make these Olympics successful in every way."
 
Agreed, scheduling was a big succes.

Instead of extinguishing the flame, how about we extinguish Bach?
 
 

Are you saying Belgium and the Netherlands are similar? 
 
 

The speed skating on Medeo, in the snow, was epicness at it's best 
 
 

You're not similar 

Are you saying Belgium and the Netherlands are similar? 
 
 

Exactly, same for BBC. Even in an individual sport, why would you not say someone simply is a Russian? Like it or not, it's a fact that they compete under a neutral flag, but it's also a fact that a Russian athlete is a Russian person, and so, a Russian. Why not simply call him/her a Russian? Even in this case you could call them 'the Russian team', because it's a team, and they're Russian --> a Russian team

Are you saying Belgium and the Netherlands are similar? 
 
 

Thank you @hckosice and (I believe?) @NikolaB for very quickly confirming that Russia's team was indeed incredibly strong, right when it was announced  Bookmakers giving them odds of 2.5 was a good one indeed  

Dutch commentatorin total panic because the Olympic flag wasn't going up! Until 2 minutes later he realized it has to go down to be handed to the Chinese guys.

This music goes high up on the list of most hilariously bad things I have ever seen or heard in my life
