Monzanator 3,594 Posted March 5, 2021 #131 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Stefan Kraft leads after Round 1 by a rather comfortable margin. He was already winning all the training sessions so gold seems out of reach. Great effort from Vitali Kalinichenko to make the second round!

OlympicsFan 782 Posted March 6, 2021 #134 Share Posted March 6, 2021 The year of the insane fluke performances continues for Austria. They must hope that this year never ends. Too bad that they won’t come even remotely close to those results at the Olympics. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Given how nobody knows the Beijing hills it's very probable we have another fluke there too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I was talking about alpine skiing, biathlon and Nordic combined as well. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

We are due another Tommy Moe or Daniela Ceccarelli gold medal out of nowhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are due another Tommy Moe or Daniela Ceccarelli gold medal out of nowhere Here is my prediction for Austria: Biathlon: 0 golds (obviously) Nordic combined: 0 golds Ski jumping: 1 or 2 golds Alpine skiing: 2 golds at best This year they won 7 golds in those sports.

Monzanator 3,594 Posted March 6, 2021 #139 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Austrians admitted they used some new suit sleeves with golf ball-like layer technology or something. It was apparently tested by FIS at Planica many years ago and now Austrians went back to it. Polish trainer Dolezal said he knew Austrians were doing something with the suits but they didn't want to copy anything so close before the championships. So, ski jumping is a tech race as usual.
