very naice tovarish!
Russia have clinched first place in the medal table, ranked by either golds or total medals.
All that's left is to sort out the shit hockey team.
At least our football team is in good handsI'm not holding my breath for that...
And it's crazy, because they really haven't even restored their national programs like they did during the Soviet days, or what China currently has. Guys like the Russian 2 man bobsled winner were even fed up with the way the sports authorities were developing their programs, and CBC just said the guys who won the Sprint aren't really liked by the Russian committees because they don't really take part with them.
Going to be interesting seeing how 2018 shapes up. Russia has also already started to regain a lot of its dominance in the Summer games as well.
Bobsled is the most overrated and worst Olympic sport there is. It's so predictable after the first run it's worthless to even continue afterwards.
Austrian and third place in TdS was caught for EPO today. http://www.dw.de/austrian-cross-country-skier-johannes-dürr-tests-positive-for-epo/a-17451820
Sorry. Cross country. This time it would have been the 50km race.Ski cross or cross country?
In the end we should be happy even though 2 out of 4 racers from Austria disqualified. I don't think the course did any more harm than the snow quality. If I remember correctly a olympic course should be demanding and difficult compared to standard world cup races.Only Austrian ski team is happy with yesterday's second slalom course (that really made selection between the best), other teams are fuming - Sweden skier Myhrer said that A.Kostelić is "fuc**ng idiot and it is time to go out of the ski caravan", French team leader said that course setter is "old, senile, incompetent person"
Ivica Kostelič said that first slalom run should be placed in junior categories and that slalom is technical discipline and course should be tough in the Olympic

Same ol' shit. Bobsledding sucks.
Not really. They've only done the 4 run system to promote fairness, set up seeds/runs and to also give teams a chance to perhaps make up for a slightly off previous run. This is another sport that is won in the hundredths of seconds at times.
There have been a lot of sweeps this olympics. This must be some sort of record. I don't recall another olympics where so many events had all 3 medals go to one country.
In thinking back about the Sochi games, it happened on Day 1, but this is still the defining moment of these games for me as a Canadian:

Best Olympic games ever for us. 8 medals in far more than anyone predicted.
It's always nice to see nations rising to new olympic peaks, hopefully spurs more interest, funding and success in the future.
Definitely. Best celebration, best flower ceremony moment, and best medal ceremony moment.
