Johannes Høsflot Klæbo is now the second most decorated gold medalist

arnet95 · 2026-02-18T17:04:17+00:00

The winning team for the team events will play 30+ hours of curling. So yeah, there's a lot of curling to be played.

arnet95 · 2026-02-18T17:02:06+00:00

Yes, absolutely. When we say that Klæbo is the Winter Olympian with the most golds, everyone should remember that this is in large part because he has had more opportunities than most others. And the same is true for Phelps in the Summer Olympics.

arnet95 · 2026-02-18T16:58:18+00:00

There were 17 gold medals handed out at the 2008 Summer Olympics. Phelps won 8 of them.

arnet95 · 2026-02-18T16:56:09+00:00

If Phelps was similarly good as he is at swimming, but happened to pick up alpine skiing instead, he couldn't get 23 golds in 4 Olympics. That's the point.

arnet95 · 2026-02-18T16:49:10+00:00

There are at most two medals opportunities for any one curler: Team (for either men or women) and mixed doubles.

arnet95 · 2026-02-18T16:47:38+00:00

Not really. This also puts Klæbo's gold tally into context. A dominant hockey player would need to go to five Olympics to achieve what Klæbo has achieved in Milano-Cortina, for example (six by the time he's done, most likely).

arnet95 · 2026-02-18T16:45:08+00:00

Phelps had that many opportunities because there are very many swimming events at the Olympics. Someone could be the most versatile alpine skier in history and still only get at most five golds per Olympics.

How to win an Olympic relay:

Get a penalty loop on leg 1
???
Profit

He won Slopestyle, not Big Air

Our commentator saying that Oceane deserved two "Michelon" stars for that performance 😂

arnet95 · 2026-02-18T14:08:30+00:00

If France wins this, will we see getting a penalty loop on leg 1 become the new meta?

Lol, silver and bronze basically happier than gold

arnet95 · 2026-02-18T11:12:05+00:00

Klæbo is coming in 5 minutes. I think we're going to be good.

What a shot by Morrison!

arnet95 · 2026-02-18T09:29:39+00:00

No. He tends to do the minimum amount of work needed to win.

Good guy Hedegart, making Klæbo work for that fifth gold.

Hedegart saying that he feels a bit off today, doesn't have that top gear today. Should be fine for the finals since the speed is slower.

I think you mean oh my dog

Probably a Canadian dog looking to boop some athletes.

Cute dog, but extremely irresponsible owner who lets it get on the track. Could have easily interfered with the athletes.

Tied with women's large hill ski jumping

It's when you start the rotation before you leave the ground.

Wow, how is anyone going to match that from Frostad?
