Yea, Bolshunov very easily won today as you have seen.
Many of us really don't mind others winning too.Any day in cross country skiing with no Norwegians at the podium is a good day.
I like you guys much more in other sports.
Well, when all Norway guys lose to Niskanen in skiathlon, it definitely has to do with their own form. I was sure that they will catch at least him, but it was not even close, somehowThat guy is a fecking beast.
I have trouble trusting Russians because of their history, but i'm not going to accuse him of anything, am probably just a sore lose because our guys did bad.
Exciting to see how much he'll win this year, he looks incredibly strong.
Yeah, something was definitely off for them. One said the height, snow and difficulty of track made it really hard - not as an excuse, it's the same for everyone.Well, when all Norway guys lose to Niskanen in skiathlon, it definitely has to do with their own form.

He's such a legend. Came from nowhere really. Before the Olympics, he made an interview.Van der Poel with a brilliant last 400 meters takes the gold.
Boy scouts?He's such a legend. Came from nowhere really. Before the Olympics, he made an interview.
Van der Poel: I knew a great kebab place three hours away, and I thought I will ride my bike to get there
The interviewer: So you ride your bike three hours and ate a kebab and then went home?!
Van der Poel: Well, two kebabs actually. Then I went home.
Apparently, he eats 7000 calories per day.
He took a break from his career earlier and joined one of Sweden's most elite military units. And last year he won 2 x Gold in the World championships. And now this gold medal.
Lopeta hölmöily, poika.Boy scouts?
Smashed GB in the curling semi final!
Lord Nelson! Lord Beaverbrook! Sir Winston Churchill! Sir Anthony Eden! Clement Attlee! Henry Cooper! Lady Diana! We have beaten them all, we have beaten them all! Maggie Thatcher - can you hear me, Maggie Thatcher! Your team took one hell of a beating! Your team took one hell of a beating!
Wow, China are REALLY cheating this competition aren't they? Saw two separate incidents from the speedy skaty circle thing today.

Very often I have said that if they love to push people around on an ice rink, they should play ice hockey. Just can't wait for the men's ice hockey tournament to begin in 3-4 days so I can finally watch legalized brutality out there.Wow, China are REALLY cheating this competition aren't they?

was about to comment earlier, but wasn't sure, so i googled now, what the feck are you talking about trampoline for?So golds for Germany in biathlon and Netherlands in skating. Watching mixed team trampoline jumps now.
It’s a bit weird so far - preliminary disqualifications for jumping suit parameters for several teams
Can't be bothered to watch it without the NHL players.Very often I have said that if they love to push people around on an ice rink, they should play ice hockey. Just can't wait for the men's ice hockey tournament to begin in 3-4 days so I can finally watch legalized brutality out there.
It's a snorefest for me. It effectively replaces my sleeping pills, so we could have it every year.It's strange that so few in the UK watch the winter olympics, i understand they don't have as much snow and ice, and there's no culture for it, but as you say, the sports they compete in is MUCH more entertaining to watch.
As impressive as much in the summer is, watching someone run 100m in less than 10 seconds, isn't really very fun... sure, it's impressive, but in most cases you know who will win after 3 of those 9 seconds
Alpine, ski jumping, biathlon, relays, snowboard events... there's so much fun shit to watch!
The biathlon mixed relay today was amazing, atleast as a Norwegian
I know. It's a real shame because I was anticipating 3 batterings in the opening round, but we can always make up for it if the NHL "invites" China to the next edition of the World Cup of Hockey (the last one being in 2016).Can't be bothered to watch it without the NHL players.
Ice hockey should be bigger in the UK. It's everything they like - pace, power, and fights.It's strange that so few in the UK watch the winter olympics, i understand they don't have as much snow and ice, and there's no culture for it, but as you say, the sports they compete in is MUCH more entertaining to watch.
