    I believe only is competing, and their athletes are in Alpine Skiing.

    This isn’t a good look for . There’s a good the IOC might start sanctioning them since defections are becoming rampant, and sports are having to force them to play .

    If there’s a ever a firing squad formed from the youth biathletes at these games, I like my odds of survival . Japan went 20 extra bullets, and they still had to do 10 penalty loops!

    The fall didn’t help either...

    Gold For Japan!!! Down with the empire, down with the red empire.

    WHAT A COMPETITION!!! All of the last five rising to the Occasion. Quad from Samsonov, 2 Quads from Mozalev, 2 Quads (with one in combination) from Kagiyama. There were 7-8 performances that were truly memorable today. What a fantastic way to end the day! Still in disbelief.
  7. Olympian1010
    Mozalev!!! Two Quads! He and Samsonov are absolutely the future of international skating. Rakic and Chen were amazing too.
  8. Olympian1010
    Samsonov is someone who would benefit from the liberalization of Russian society. It’s clear him and coach don’t have a positive relationship, and the pressure Russians place on him is too much.
  9. Olympian1010
    That would be awesome.
  10. Olympian1010
    Samsonov is the next Nathan Chen. Child prodigy doing Quads, but having terrible consistency at big competitions. I’ve yet to see him land his first jump in any program he’s ever done. Oh well, there goes my prediction. Also, he landed a Quad at the YOG!

    Hey, even I’m too old to compete at these games now . Jubilee was before my time I believe.

    Guess I better start playing again. The problem is the ban on FPS games (because that’s mostly what I play). I’d imagine if they add esports, it will be FIFA, LOL, Overwatch 2, and DOTA. I wouldn’t mind seeing Mortal Combat, I Racing or Forza, or Rocket League either.

    Historic moment for today

    Just heard a TISC song playing at the YOG @dcro. I believe it was the Romanian entry from this past autumn.
  15. Olympian1010
    And (at least at YOG level)

    Same goes for Speed Skating 500m (when compared to Beijing 2022).
  17. Olympian1010
    That mirrors one of my favorite things about Cross Country (running). You could have an epic battle with someone to the finish, but despite losing/winning the mutual respect for the fight is a great feeling. Plus, I was always willing to drop everything for another runner in big trouble because I knew what they’d gone through, and it’d suck if there was not a single person willing to support them.
  18. Olympian1010
    That sir, is a great list. Those last two
  19. Olympian1010
    Of course I could say the same things about Mass Starts from my time as a runner. I agree with that though. I’m just saying that those aren’t necessary the most interesting, exciting, or entertaining events to watch. They should absolutely be kept on the program though.
  20. Olympian1010
    Kokura is my new favorite skater. He has to be one of the most fun skaters to watch. He enjoys the sport so much. Plus, he rises to the occasion well, though his nerves got him a bit today.
  21. Olympian1010
    Fair. I guess it’s more just personal preference. As an athlete, I love time trials. However, as a spectator I favor the sprints and Mass Starts. The Team Pursuit is just interesting because it’s something different, and it adds a new dynamic to the sport.
  22. Olympian1010
    The difference is I don’t want those events gone. I found the 50km awesome to watch, albeit a little tedious. The problem with the 10km is the lack of skaters that are competitive. It’s not fun to watch the same people win by large margins. I love skating distance and sprints, but I just find the sprints and epic distance Mass Starts more entertaining than the boring ass time trials.
  23. Olympian1010
    with quite the skater. Watch for him in Beijing (assuming he beats the other 2,500 Chinese skaters).
  24. Olympian1010
    That may be the roller speed skater in me talking. I enjoy a time trial as much as everyone, especially as an athlete, but they can be boring as fuck. 10,000m is nap time during the Olympics. It should absolutely be on the program, it’s just not that entertaining. The Mass Start’s problem is just a bad format. I like the Team Pursuit as well.

    Great redemption! Great job Liam
