Winter Olympics 2010 Vancouver

Not too sure about that, Caveman. He's in a class of his own and the conditions are trøndersk.
 
Absolutely gutted. Kramer should've won the gold medal. His coach messed everything up.


Anyway, congrats to Lee.
 
Besides the nordic combined, is there anything else norwegian on today?
 
Kramer being interviewed on Norwegian TV now, really feel for the guy.
 
Can you explain what happened?

Are you referring to NRKs question or do you want us to explain?

If the latter; Kramer did what he called "his best 10k ever". On one of the laps he thought he was going to go in the outer path, but just before the corner his coach shouted to him that it was his turn to go the inner path.

So Kramer chooses the inner when he should have gone in the outer, and is disqualified.
 
Oh my god, that's rough. From what I've seen of Kramer he seems like a very decent guy and he's a terrific athlete.

Definitely. Good guy and the most outstanding talent the sport has ever seen. He'll be back.
 
But, the heartbreak in it is that Kramer is young enough to become on of the mostwinning Skaters/Olympians of all time.

He won in Torino, should have won today. Will win in Russia in four years, and perhaps again in 8 years.

He is so extreme, and I also think he seems like a very likeable person.
 
And they asked him to introduce himself on American TV...

That was shocking.

I don't know how big skating is in the USA, but they have Shani Davis, so they must have atleast heard of him.

If not the general population, then surely the journo at the fecking arena.
 
My as always optimistic predictions for tonight:

10000 meters Speed Skating: Bronze.

Nordic Combined team comp: Silver, the Yanks will take it.

Men's Giant Slalom: Bronze.

Women's Biathlon relay: Spectacular failure.

2 correct ones.

(failure and bronze)

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.

2 correct ones.

Giant Slalom - Silver
Nordic Combined Relay - Bronze
Women's Cross Country Relay - No Medal
10000m Speed Skating - Silver

Watch this space.

2 correct ones.

My guesses for tomorrow

1 gold, nothing else.
