Final results & summary postponed due to me coming back to real work today and having much more files on the desk than expected. But stay tuned!

Do you want them or not? ;-)

Hello, everyone! First of all, congrats to all our Finnish users for a hockey win! I would like to be in Helsinki now!!! And secondly, looks like we have our polls-winner!!! Provisional rankings show that @Wumo won the whole thing. And that was pretty close - looks like the decisive move was predicting that Victoria Carl will finish 12th in 30k cross-country race. Man, how the fuck did you know that??? Congratulations @Wumo There is a bottle of best Polish vodka prepared for you. Well-frozen. You'll find it in the post. Enjoy! Congrats for @mrv86 and @phelps for the other medals. That was so close!!! Don't give up, maybe next season... But I would like to say it loudly that @Wumo is such a deserved winner here. I have written this earlier in these polls series, but I will repeat it now - I would like to THANK YOU for all the efforts in your prediction contests. I can see now how much time and work it takes, so big respect for you from me and all of us, I guess!!! I think there may be some minor mistakes in the peleton scores but a winner looks to be certain. If you find any mistakes, please let me know. You will find the provisional rankings table attached to this post in a doc file. I have promised a Super-Sunday for my family today, after all these 16 days in Beijing, so the final rankings with all these fancy flags&tags will be published rather later than sooner, forgive me that. It will be here altogether with all the behind-the-scenes reports, special honorary awards and doping violations summary. Thank you all for your participations, that was FUN!!! Have a good Sunday, everyone... and now let's only hope there won't be a war next week or later on... i am just too afraid to watch non-sporting news these days... how the fuck could we all get that close to this shit? so everyone, stay safe, please... Bye! 22.02.20 final poll.docx

WOW! CONGRATULATIONS @Finnator123 Enjoy the party today!!!

W 30km cross-country race. 9th place - Tiril Udnes Weng 12th place - Charlotte Kalla

We are still waiting for Pairs Figure Skating final results to get our new rankings after Poll #15. So in the meantime, quick reminder of our ranking after Polls #14 and #14a. @mrv86 20 1/3 @Topicmaster1010 17 1/3 @Styrka 16 5/6 @Wumo 15 @orangeman 14 1/3 @Gianlu33 13 1/3 @maestro 13 @Belle 12 1/2 @ChandlerMne 12 1/3 @phelps 12 1/3 @Einarsen 12 @rafalgorka 11 @Henry_Leon 11 @vinipereira 10 1/2 @Fly_like_a_don 10 @FireRun 9 1/2 @james89 9 @Monzanator 8 @Agger 7 1/2 @Federer91 7 1/2 @NearPup 7 @IoNuTzZ 6 1/2 @Ted 6 1/2 @hckošice 6 1/2 @Dennis 6 1/2 @Dunadan 6 1/4 @EupenM 5 1/2 @Kirkpatrick 5 1/2 @Adriano 5 1/2 @Illya 5 @LowerSaxony 5 @Jinzha 5 @Griff88 5 @FancyFenchel 4 1/2 @uk12points 4 1/2 @JoshMartini007 4 1/2 @Trebron92 4 @Ros 4 @rybak 4 @Jan Linha 3 1/2 @Joshi 3 1/2 @pdr4332 3 @Sindo 2 1/2 @dcro 2 1/2 @Vic Liu 2 @Arnoud Beldman 2 @intoronto 1 1/2 @Morten Jensen 1 1/2 @Olympian1010 1 1/2 @Swewi 1 1/2 @heywoodu 1 1/2 @mester 1 1/2 @Speedy 1 @stamura84 1 @gualty80 1 @Andry84 1 @De_Gambassi 1/2 @Walter Egow 1/2 @Orangehair43 1/2 @Vektor 1/2 @OlympicsFan 1/2 @Peterpeer 0

In case you're interested, 12th places went to: M mass start Ning Zhongyan W mass start Giorgia Birkeland

Time for a final Poll #16. Be aware voting ends at 2:05 CET, start of W curling final. 1 pt for each event 3 bonus pts for 3 correct winners and 2 x 2 bonus pts for writing in comments who will get 9th and 12th places in W cross-country freestyle 30km??? race. So still 10 pts to get.

Looks like an-hour break on live tv. Nothing's going on live. What to do now? ;-)

Congrats Dear Swedish users, please share later on any links to Swedish media (newspapers) interviews with Edin. We can always translate the texts into English via Google Translate ;-)

Very sad to hear that, I very much like the whole story about him in David Maraniss Rome 1960 book.

Józef Zapędzki has died today. Double olympic champion in shooting - 25m rapid fire pistol. 1968 and 1972. One of the most respected Polish athletes in history in any sport. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Józef_Zapędzki https://sport.tvp.pl/58607258/jozef-zapedzki-dwukrotny-mistrz-olimpijski-w-strzelaniu-z-pistoletu-szybkostrzelnego-nie-zyje

CAS will have to reconsider your case. We will let you know 😜

Not too late at all, just on time! :-)

SPOILERS: Last Poll, Day 16, will include: W curling final M ice hockey final W 30km cross-country race (or whatever distance it will be) 1 pt for each event 3 bonus pts for 3 correct winners and 2 x 2 bonus pts for writing in comments who will get 9th and 12th places in W cross-country. So still 10 pts to get. The Poll #16 will start later on, I think there hasn't been w cross-country start list published yet.

It would be better if they start at 7:00 CET as planned. Nothing is going on now. And there will be a few finals at the same time later on.

Congrats for @Fly_like_a_don @Dennis @Einarsen - the big moves up the rankings after Polls #14 and #14a!!! Sorry if I forgot someone else who has moved up a lot as well.

welcome here @Benolympique !!! better late than never what took you so long? ;-)

@CCB any tips for this contest of 12th places in mass start M and W speed skating events? ;-)

@Nickyc707 would you like to join us? we are mostly interested in your curling predictions!

12th places contest Maria Victoria Rodriguez and Peter Michael

Our rankings in Excel format. All those fancy flags will come out later on. 22.02.18 polls.xlsx

Time for Poll #15. Be aware that voting ends at 7:00 am CET - start of Men's 50km cross-country's race. 1 point for a correct winner in each of 3 events. 3 points extra for three correct winners. Our rankings after Day 14 will published later today, after the second ice hockey semi. AND WE HAVE TWO BONUS QUESTIONS. YOU CAN GET 2 POINTS FOR EACH CORRECT ANSWER (4 PTS IN TOTAL). THE QUESTIONS ARE PRETTY SIMPLE. WRITE IN THE COMMENTS WHO WILL GET... 12TH PLACE... IN WOMEN'S MASS START FINAL IN SPEED SKATING AND IN MEN'S MASS START FINAL IN SPEED SKATING. Hope these additional questions will go better than today's predictions for W mass start biathlon race. NOONE predicted Justine Braisaz-Bouchet Allez Les Bleus!!!

Oh... that was so damn close. But well, sometimes it's like that. Traditional Canadian... (correction: Polish:-) 4th place. Congrats One hell of a race that was! Very entertaining.
