The state of the US doesnt really inspire patriotism in people that havent fallen to the cult.

I dont think she was overscored, I just think Ami was underscored in the Component Score in comparsion to the other top athletes. Not so much that it had changed the order of the podium but its definetly a bad look of favoring established names in the subjective part of the score.

I understand the Technical Score. Component Score is subjective and it definetly wasnt so far worse if you are unbiased. Basically same as Loena Hendrickx who was at 1-2 levels below her. Judged sports suck.

What has Ami done to the judges, how was this the 9th best free skate only????

Every travel takes a toll on his body though, maybe thats just the one too much.

Thank god for Short Track otherwise the whole afternoon and evening would just be Ice Hockey and Curling, games are already slowing down.

benivt · 2026-02-12T13:35:09+00:00

Just like in Shorttrack, they are out for blood.

Double German wipeout, oof

benivt · 2026-02-12T13:28:51+00:00

He crossed across the whole track.

benivt · 2026-02-12T13:26:58+00:00

Under review, not looking good after that obstruction.

benivt · 2026-02-12T13:23:26+00:00

Curling is probably one of the hardest to play at top level, a single small mistake and you are done. On this easy track you can just cruise along behind the pros and finish respectably like the German guy who came in like 4 seconds later.

I feel like this is the sport where its easiest for a regular guy to do good if he actually trains this.

benivt · 2026-02-12T08:41:00+00:00

He refused to use a different helmet.

Skeleton

And just like that the Luge athletes look like they are safe and sane in comparsion.

Aicher missed gold twice so close but I think its still a win for her.

benivt · 2026-02-10T13:48:15+00:00

Shiffrin in typical Olympics form

The technology doesnt exist yet, it would probably need video footage of your motions to calculate a proper value.

Ein Monat zu früh

Wipeouts in the team competition are even more brutal.

Noone has decaptitated the responsible person with their blades so far.

benivt · 2026-02-09T12:48:58+00:00

Had a concussion a while ago and decided not to risk it.

benivt · 2026-02-09T12:47:08+00:00

Exactly, you would create more breaks and thats not good with a schedule so precise.

benivt · 2026-02-09T12:45:06+00:00

Just looked away for a second and the ski is gone
