Winter Olympics 2010 Vancouver

Medal for Jansrud!

Kramer has been disqualified in some way.

Bøkko could have had a gold today then.

Haha he's not even close to the best these days. 5th even with Kramer's bad lane change and subsequent disqualification. Gutted for Kramer though, he absolutely trashed Lee as well.
 
I was about to say yesterday after a interview with Janka that I hoped he'd win something.
 
ski-cross is on svt1 if anyone cares. We've got some girls there, I have absolute no idea if they're good or not.

They fecked him pre-Olympics. Should have kept Muller IMO, and given him the quiet training period he needed and deserved. He is the second best long distance skater in the world.

And gutted for Kramer too. He should almost be given it regardless, since he is several levels above everyone else.

10000 meters Speed Skating: Silver - Bøkko paired with De Jong, will be interesting. Kramer to win easily.

Nordic Combined team comp: Silver

Men's Giant Slalom: Gold and Bronze (that's right!)

Women's Biathlon relay: I agree with the failure.

Close!
 
I'm surprised at how popular this thread has been to be fair.

For four years now on the caf I thought I was the only one who appreciated winter sports.
 
True.

They belong in the classics.

I still take a look in the Official Winter Sports Thread and laugh.

That`s right.

I tried getting a Tour de Ski thread going a few years ago, but that didn`t catch on. I`m not giving up on this one. There are many Noggies, Swedes, Finns, Americans and Canadians on here so it should work.

Post all your thoughts, scores, events etc. about skiing, skijumping, biathlon, alpineskiing, snowboarding and skating here.

I`ll try to keep it going as best I can.

:lol:
 
We've got a Norwegian girl in the Ski Cross final!

the Womens is actually better cos - bless 'em - they're not as good...which makes it far more hectic and dangerous...there's been a crash in every one so far as far as I can see....none of them can get over the first jump either

It should be on in 5-10 Caveman
 
Curling is on as well. Norway vs. Scotland.

Everything is on tonight. TV has finally matched and raised my appetite for sports.
 
I'm in television heaven. If there'd been anymore good on I'd have to kill myself.
 
Somebody explain this to me: How on earth are The United States of America good excellent in Nordic fecking Combined??

No idea.

They suck at both skiing and jumping so it is a mystery.


I'm betting they sat down pre Salt Lake City and said: "What sport has no one really good, so that we can start training now and win something in Salt Lake".

Nordic Combined is perfect in that sense. If you can't jump, and/or you can't ski, then you do Nordic Combined.
