@LowerSaxony respect to you for remembering the Georgian luger! But, Yes, besides that tragedy Vancouver 2010 was simply great!

@phelpsany news what's her injury?

Poll #15 How's the weather in China?

Poll #14 It's Sunday today, so there's time for more than one poll :-)

Poll #13

I can see now Eurosport Players has medal ceremonies streamings starting at 12:30 CET every day

Do you know whether there will be medal ceremonies at Medal Plaza in Beijing, like it was in Sochi or Pyeongchang? What time will it start every day?

Poll #12

Oh, I really hope to do the same. Paris 2024, hopefully.

I have picked Calgary 1988 because that was the very first olympics (summer or winter) I have watched, staying home with a broken leg as a kid due to a crazy skiing accident, and I have been totally hooked since :-)

@Topicmaster1010 a good result for Erin Mielzynski would be nice, she has a family in Poland, they have a fancy restaurant in Warsaw.

One medal will be ok this time. Ski jumping - they are very weak this season, so I don't have any hopes. But a chance for a medal is in W 500m short track speed skating (Maliszewska). Biggest fun for me would be a medal in alpine skiing (W GS) by Maryna Gąsienica-Daniel but 5th or 6th place is more realistic, she is a contender but she hasn't been in top3 in the world cup yet. Lately we had a win in Snowboard parallel GS world cup by Aleksandra Król, so this may be a surprise medal. A medal in any other event would be a very big surprise for me. But you never know, maybe speed skating, maybe women's biathlon (Monika Hojnisz)... Who would have predicted a gold for Poland in 50km race walk in Tokyo, heh?

Poll #11

And as always - when Canada is involved in sports, my favourite sports arcticle of all time comes to my mind. Enjoy, if some of you haven't read it yet. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2016/jul/27/canada-summer-olympics-lack-of-medals-reasons

Btw, in PyeongChang it was CAN 29 - USA 23

Poll #10 Clash of the Titans ;-) vs

Poll #9 vs

How many gold medals for the (former???) winter sports powerhouse???

Snowboard? Why not, we'll take it ;-) That would be our first olympic medal in this sport. The thing is we could've already had a snowboard medal in SLC 2002 but Jagna Marczułajtis has finished just short in 4th place in this fancy red suit ;-)
