Well...

In case you missed the training, it had different wind conditions as well. So it's nothing to take too important. Not to mention that it was just a training, they were still testing. The course today was basically a Super-G and Hirscher is good in Super-G. Anyway, with this short Downhill, no Speed pilot would have a Chance for a medal anyway.

I can understand that you are disappointed, I would be, too. But come on: It's not that Wellinger can control the wind. And his high Jury marks were deserved. And aside from that, he would have won gold even if all the judges had undeservedly given him two points less. Wellinger won two practice rounds in Pyeongchang, he won the qualifying and he is third in Overall World Cup standings. He's hardly an Olympic Champion by coincidence. And also, he didn't have great wind in first round. Freitag, Hola, Stoch, Forfang, Tande, Eisenbichler all had better. The only one of the top athletes today, who had worse wind than Wellinger in first round, was Johansson. And in second round, of the best athletes, only Stoch and Freitag had it actually worse than Wellinger. The others had just as good wind: http://medias4.fis-ski.com/pdf/2018/JP/3096/2018JP3096RL.pdf

Wellinger He had a bit luck in the second round, but he had worse wind than the other Jumpers in first round, so it is fair.

Thankfully, it won't be. According to rule 451.6 a Ski jumping competition at World Championships or Olympics cannot be decided in one jump, unless there is no way to repeat the second jump. So if the second jump won't take place today, they'll try tomorrow.

The best 30.

Just like Straßer, Dürr is very good in this discipline and can beat most competitors. Nonetheless, I do think that whoever will win out of Germany - Slovakia (and IMO Germany is slight favourite because of Zuzulova's injury) will lose to Switzerland in the QF.

According to the wind Points, he was among the Jumpers with the best wind conditions in trial round. Only Forfang and Tande had it better: http://medias2.fis-ski.com/pdf/2018/JP/3095/2018JP3095RTRIA.pdf In Qualification he had the worst wind of all athletes who finished in the top 40. http://medias2.fis-ski.com/pdf/2018/JP/3095/2018JP3095RLQ.pdf Of course the conditions were all around fair, and the differences weren't that high. But nonetheless there is a difference between having basically the best wind of all jumpers and having the worst, and the points can't compensate everything. Personally, I'm glad that Wellinger can win a round even with more tailwind than his rivals.

Wellinger also had far worse conditions than during the Trial round.

Don't you have a pretty good speed skater?

Switzerland Meilanie Meillard's in injured and out for the Olympics with a rupture of the cruciate ligament.

No, I don't know which Italians are on board. I only know about the Italians from this tweet by Lindsey Vonn: https://twitter.com/lindseyvonn/status/961281609428361216 About Frenzel and the Ice Hockey Players I knew from some Instagram posts and this article: https://www.bild.de/sport/olympia/olympia-2018/flug-chaos-um-fahnentraeger-frenzel-54740656.bild.html Anyway, they started in Munich around an hour ago.

Well, if he makes it to Pyeongchang in time. The plane, which should have left Munich six hours ago, is still standing on Munich Airport. Lindsey Vonn is in this plane as well, so are the German ice hockey team and several Italian athletes.

Frenzel is from East Germany as well. And so are several athletes, who carried the German flag in the past.

It's a public voting between five candidates: Christian Ehrhoff, Eric Frenzel, Natalie Geisenberger, Claudia Pechstein and Viktoria Rebensburg: https://www.teamdeutschland.de/de/fahnentraeger.html

Did I understand it correctly, that Russia is not allowed to send a relay?
