Fly_like_a_don 932 Posted February 22, 2022 #21 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Great performance more medals than expected. Maybe fell short by the golds by 2 maybe that women's team pursuit and Miho Takagi in 1500m could have got that. Happy for Hirano, Takagi, Women's curling team, Kobayashi ,nordic combined team. Dissapointing but could have been worse. Huskova was brilliant. Alimbekava could have won gold in individual if not that 19th shot. Smolski made up for it but sadly no ski speed. Sola has been having a roller coaster. Had the ski speed but lost the shooting accuracy . Abramenko saved it. Pidruchnyi and Dzhima could have done better with the former had a gold medal chance had he shot 20/20 in individual. Short Track and Long Track was good as always. Maybe 2 golds less than expected, 1 was robbed from the 1000m WR holder, but he made up for it with 1500m gold. Choi defending her title was nice. Dissapointing, especially Moguls. Zhanbota couldn't land that difficult jump. Short Track Skaters came close especially Azghaliev in 500m. But no medals sadly. Nikisha should have been better. rafalgorka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it'd be nice to enjoy some golds so I was closely following a lot of nations. Then there is another big list of nations that I enjoy to watch. Basically among the medal hopefuls I was only not cheering for and at all times coz those nations are generally strong at winter games / expected to be strong this time as host / dominant in certain sports.

If curling can suddenly be so popular in Italy from basically nowhere, then hockey must do it as well it won't happen... we're already down to personal fights within the Ice Sports Federation, as usual... nobody wants to invest a cent on Ice Hockey... even a China-alike solution (basically a National Team based in Milan made with NHLers with Italian heritage playing a couple of seasons in the KHL just to have a competitive team in 2026 and being "inspirational" to grow up at least the number of people practicing hockey outside the South Tyrol valleys) has been declared "not an option"... and if you're not ready to go through the shortest route, imagine how (non) realistic is trying to develop the sport in a duopolistic (soccer & Ferrari...now we don't even have Valentino Rossi anymore to follow) Country like Italy...

intoronto 4,236 Posted February 23, 2022 #25 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Canada had a lot of bad luck at these games. 26 medals is a good result (tied with 2010 for second highest ever, but down from 4 years ago's 29). 4 gold medals is a disaster. Own the Podium's goal is to be the #1 nation in winter sport (sadly I think this means overall medals, not necessarily golds) by 2030 or 2034. In 2016, the OTP and the national federations realized not funding the future would eventually come to a games where Canada struggled, and these would be those games. Besides snowboarding, all NF's likely did not meet their goals for these games. The future does sort of look bright? But if Canada wants to own the podium, it will need to win medals in the nordic disciplines. A review is currently underway which could see all four Nordic Nf's merged under one banner, which tbh would be smart at this point. I hope this is just a blip in the radar for Canada and in 2026, we bounce back. rafalgorka, james89 and AliciasBlade 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
