hckošice 13,130 Posted November 22, 2020 #253 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Was off during the Olympics since Beijing 2008. I have a good doc for 20 EUR will prescribe a sick leave for as many days as you want but I rarely needed him in fact, I always managed to arrange a vacation for those two weeks. intoronto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally had to beg my boss in 2012 to get the time off. "You don't understand how much the Olympics mean to me, I MUST have the time off" After thinking about it he said sure go ahead lol As much as I'd like to be in Beijing, I am not sure about if I want to be there as a volunteer or not.

And to answer your other question, all of the biathlon events start around 17:00, so that should be late morning for you in Germany Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games Competition Schedule Version 7.pdf 287.3 kB · 64 downloads I really like the new event order for Biathlon. Especially the bit about not finishing on three back to back relays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympian1010 7,418 Posted December 1, 2020 #259 Share Posted December 1, 2020 There’s a full run of the Yanqing track from the men’s luge start at the end of this video. I believe the slider is none other than the pride of the Slovakian police force, Jozef Ninis @hckosice hckošice 1 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

phelps 6,536 Posted December 1, 2020 #260 Share Posted December 1, 2020 and here's a full slide of the Yanqing track from the women's start point thanks to Julia Taubitz... it looks it's gonna be quite a long run for the luge singles...well beyond the 50-second mark, close to a minute...
