Congrats to the medalists. Fun, just like Misc 2, just a shame I know so little about some others sports. 

9th place...Parmakoski

12th place...Stadlober

Best 28.4 km race I've ever seen.

Of course it will be different, they'll race 50k.

Skender > Klaebo.

Poorest day since the start (not counting those days before opening ceremony). Just replay of ski jumping for me. Maybe bob.

Orange strikes again.

Manificat with a power move!

Current weather might make a fun pursuit. And if Biathlon Gods are fair, we'll get couple of completely random podiums in this really-really-should-not-be-a-medals-event.

Norway, Sweden and France stopped chasing, 13 seconds in a kilometer. EDIT: Now, they decreased the time by 16 seconds. 

So, who's your pick for bronze?

Sweden and France hang on with Norway, that's nice. Probably no chance against Klaebo though.

You tell'em!

is out. Even behind !

 

Niskanen doing great and bringing them back, though.

Everyone who I don't like is doping.

What an idiot of a director!! 

Austria and Poland, congrats.

CET

Wake up at 7:00, catch up with alpine skiing downhill that happened three hours before, coffee is a must too

Continue with cross country at 8:00 and speed skating after that

Then wait for ski jumping at noon, and will probably check snowboarding final in the mean time

Luge and moguls will be seen as replays in the afternoon leisure.ž

Work days will suck though, I might hear some results at work (we listen to radio always), and even Eurosport Player started putting various highlights in their streams - even though the stream for instance is luge, they might show results from biathlon. Idiots!

What is a combined, FIS says there is no such thing . 

In its current format, nice of FIS to say so.

Pavlek puts most of the blame on FIS, they insisted on water/salt/whatever else. Cro "expert" said, leave it be! But no.

Yes, but if there several documents they have to examine, how they can be so sure they belong to the same person if there not a name on them, this is just absurd when you thinnk about it.

 

Obvioulsy I am not a doctor so I may be wrong, it just seems illogical for me.

 

It's not like noone knows who they belong to. I'm just saying that the commission doesn't need to know whose the documents are, it's irrelevant to them, they make the decision based on data in them. Bias free!

How they can not know the name of the person they are examining, if they investigate his medical records, isn't there a name on the document ? then it can be also for example mine medical document they examinated I heard a lot of BS in my life, but that one from the ozzies medical investigating comissions is one of the Tops of the list

I don't find that weird. For them, name of the applicant is completely unimportant if the medical records are there. They make judgement based on those...I hope.

I wonder if Djokovic got his visa rejected because it was established that his medical exemption was, in fact, invalid?

 

We can only guess at this point. As far as I know, no official reason for his rejection has been revealed yet.

As I read, two independent commissions, without knowing the name of the applicant, granted him exemption.
