It's actually not that random that she (and some other brazilian athletes) only appear in Olympic season. Concentration of efforts (i.e. money) goes only for Olympic qualification, while in other years the support is pretty low, meaning they can't really participate in most competitions. She even had to launch a crowdfunding in order to buy better outfits (later some company gave them to her). This goes the same way for most of the non-traditional winter nations, which olympic qualification seems to be the main goal. For good results, though, this has to change, obviously. You can't create a decent enough athlete with such restrictions.

Gold for Gasser

28 nations in the medal table

Yeah, this whole thing seems a little uneventful for me.

I'm here just waiting for a medal for New Zealand

Guess this will be another gold for Norway?

Russia 13 medals and no gold

I feel like the judges are a little generous sometimes at the Olympics. I mean, she was great, but the best ever? C'mon...

Maybe that's not the best idea considering there are plenty of contests in the future

Tiago Splitter (Basketball) announced his retirement yesterday.

For sure

Is there some kind of agreement that only one Canadian team can win matches in a given day? Meaning that if the women team wins the men have to lose and vice versa?

That's an eyesore. But probably better than the boring white outfits

Yes, outfits for Brazil are usually overlooked for Winter Games. Even for Opening ceremony the athletes just had boring competition clothes.

We take what we can get

Well, at least Croatia has the best outfits/sled

Medal for Ukraine

What a finish!

Forgot about Bulgaria AGAIN. If someone from there is reading this, please don't be mad at me
