Gigs

She can't participate because she needs some snowboard training

Holy crap Mowinckel.

Good point

Venier was quite good, even might have had the chance to win a medal, but she crashed.

I didn't really expect more. Siebehofer is a solid skier but she doesn't have that extra level for the race day which is required to win a medal if the favorites all have good runs.

Great run but that upper section gives vonn a chance. I think gold will go to America

Hütter

So this is basically a race where I can go to bed again after the first 7 starters.

That was so incredibly sad. I hope she'll get over this soon. Anyway, what an exciting race, after the 2nd shooting I was sure France, Norway and Italy are only racing for silver and bronze, but at the end not only one of them beat Germany, all three did. Peiffer probably feels even worse than Fialkova. If Fourcade catches you despite your advantage, that's okay, he's the best biathlon athlete right now and one of the best of all time, but Windisch and an out of shape Svendsen should really only be capable of beating you if they have an absolutely perfect race and both didn't have that. Peiffer just completely threw away his nerves and made the other countries a big present. Sad for germany, considering what a super strong team they have right now.

Unfortunately the weather forecast for this week is bad again. The fis requested to change the date for the women's downhill from Wednesday to Tuesday but the ioc let the schedule unchanged. Now let's just hope the chaos of the first week won't repeat.

Actually spitsov followed better than I expected. For 2/3 of his race klaebo could have followed that pace walking on his hands while spitsov was going all out. I'm actually not sure whether klaebo could have skied spitsov out of his slipstream if he hadn't always gained a few meters on the descent. That said, ofc he would have beaten spitsov in a sprint too

I don't want to be the guy who complains all the time although my country is really successful but brennsteiner's last time split was more or less equal to Kristoffersen's. Now instead of a possible medal he might have a torn acl.

Kristoffersen vs. hirscher That's just how it's supposed to be

Yes, chapeau Henrik

Please not another 4th place for kristoffersen. He has enough of those already

The young Austrians really don't care about any places which don't get you a ticket to the medal plaza. Hasn't really worked too well so far.

Flock I think one could almost see that coming, after her third run where she didn't make many mistakes and therefore took the lead but her ground speed just wasn't good. I hardly ever watch a sport event where the person I'm rooting for leads before the last run but I don't care about the win and just hope the athlete will stay on the podium

This is not looking good for Norway. Their skis are horrible

When I posted this yesterday after mayer's gold run people said that's nonsense because no way someone could still beat him. After today I think you understand what I meant

I MISSED THE RACE BECAUSE MY ALARM DIDN'T WORK. FUUUUUUUUUUU*K

I guess my mindset is often too negative. You are absolutely right though and believe me, I know the Austrians are really overachieving in this olympics so far and I am super happy about this result.

Schild's last time split was 2 tenths better than hansdotter's edit: that said, of all non Austrians Hansdotter is the perfect winner for me. She crowned an incredible career in which she always stood in the shadow of shiffrin in the best possible way

Unbelievable, gallhuber won a medal. And I'm still not complete happy because Schild might even have thrown away gold

Holy crap

No, Schild, what were you doing That might have been a medal
