By the way, the IWGA has many replays available in their media archive. I’d say based off what’s on there, uploaded to YouTube, and streamed legitimately by IFs; I have most of the medal sessions and many sports complete from 2017 and 2013 at this point.

I’ve only ever heard one person use it (when not doing a terrible Aussie or Scottish impression), and he was Hispanic.

It was fun while it lasted @hckosice

@hckosice Sweden isn’t using their PC2018 jerseys. I think your federation choose to wear them (or the NOC demanded it).

Well, so far this v. game has been one for surprises... Definitely not the start I expected...

There are highlights available on the Olympic Channel

Yay Marco! Both and with good skiers this year. Great season.

I believe this the same woman who once wore a Burka in Parliament “to show how dangerous they are”. @KingOfTheRhinos would probably know better than me. All I know is that she’s essentially the “LePen” of Australia.

When Greta’s in town...

No, this is great. It means you have an interest in what we’re doing, and that makes us very happy ?

Watchmen won’t be getting a second season because the show’s creator said one is enough. It will forever be the best season of television. Period.

I never get tired of falling asleep to the rain (though I do wish it’d turn into snow tonight).

@heywoodu Really, the point of me posting the OIS articles is just trying to help you guys find the most relevant information (all in one place), and to give you more options of following the games besides streaming, results, our podcast, our blog, etc. Myself and @Vojthas have been incredibly busy over the last 7 (now 8) days, so we really appreciate knowing that you guys find what we do helpful/interesting. We have high hopes for Totallympics Media (especially as we move towards the end of our first year), but it can be hard with only two “full-time” journalists working. I’m lucky to be off school right now, so I have to time to help run the updating blog, record/edit/produce the podcast, write and post articles, give live trivia reminders, post things on the forum, and create results books. However, @Vojthas is also running the updating blog, helping record the podcast (come up with various segments), run the prediction contest, give live trivia reminders and do other little things here there; all on top of going to work everyday.

@Sindo Any interest in past results? I’d be willing to contribute as always. I have multi-sports games results from 2013-2020, but I can also find some from 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2005.

I do that with Alpine Skiing as well. As a journalist, my job is to give information. I’d generally follow it up with the times of the 2nd, 3rd, and maybe 4th/5th skiers for comparison of course. The OIS articles are assembled by multiple journalists (generally 3/4). One collects interviews, one writes, one chooses photos and edits the articles.

The fact that you can’t tell the difference between the two is a a great sign for my reporting. The OIS journalists are some of the most qualified writers, so your confusion means a lot to me

@heywoodu I’ve been both writing and using pre-written articles. The Best Photos Of articles are put together by me (I comb through all the 500-1000 photos taken each day and choose the best 24ish). I wouldn’t use the pre-written articles, but I didn’t really have a choice. You have to remember that you’re using this as a learning experience, and so I’ve probably been more than I should. Ever day I publish articles, run a live blog, record and edit a podcast, remake the results books using my own formula (which is better than there’s). The reason I put all the OIS articles on our website, so that there’s a place for everyone to read them, and easily navigate using the tags. The articles provided by OIS are fair-use.

Didn’t write it . The articles are provided by the OIS (Olympic Information Service). For the record, I wouldn’t have written something like that. Thank you for the feedback though. I love knowing that my work isn’t for nothing.
