VILLAMARV Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 The USA have made it weird being a neutral watching this curling final. Normally I'd be backing the underdog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Ouch. Massive end for the USA. Quite apt considering your opening post for this thread though @sne. Super Mario has the last laugh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Well done Billy Morgan. Britain's first ever male medalist on snow. (Alain Baxter grumble etc). Also our biggest medal haul ever at the Winter Olympics with 5 medals (Yes Scandinavia thats F-I-V-E it's not a misprint ) Izzy Atkin, who at 19 is the youngest member of Team GB and won Britain's first ever medal on skis earlier in the games (another Alain Baxter grumble etc), got a bit overshadowed by the skeleton I feel. Didn't realise her Dad's side of the family is from Brum. Can we claim her as our own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid game anyway Thought she missed a couple of straight forward shots that cost us points in the last two ends. This is on the basis of me never watching or playing the sport before however. Still a shame but can't complain with 5 medals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I don't think Eve will be happy with her performance this fortnight, I am sure they will all be back in 4 years time and stronger for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarpie Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 14 hours ago, sne said: Ivo Niskanen of Finland actually making a race out of the nowadays usually very boring 50k. Really impressive so far but still a way to go. For Sweden Calle Halfvardsson has once again chosen to quit the race. Poor lad, he's not had a fun time in South Korea. Only 4 years until the next opportunity... Niskanen's skiing was pretty damn unbelievable, utter domination, Bolshunov who came second was utterly spent and Niskanen looked like he could go for another 10km. Such a big shame that Myllylä wasn't there to see this, rest in peace, champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) Gold for Sweden in the women's curling And the lack of officials at the Nordic events causes poor Stadlober (Austria) to take the wrong course in the women's 30k when she was clear in the silver position. Poor woman! Guessing all the officials has been forced up into the stands to help create the illusion that there are any spectators at the event. Massively impressive race by Marit Bjoergen Dare I say it was almost Johan Mühlegg 2002 class (not claiming any foul play) just that she was able to do the 30k like it was the 10k. While Charlotte Kalla was more akin to Per Elofsson in said race totally blowing herself by trying to follow in the impossible tempo. And a surprise Bronze to Stina Nilsson Edited February 25, 2018 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
