I am very curious how this will continue with the doping scandal with the Russian. A lot of problems could arise from that. If she wins gold but is tested positive, she may hand in her medal and the number 2 will receive the gold medals. But things like that should actually be checked much faster, right? Especially since the rumors are already there. With current technology it should be so tested.
I am also curious what happens next in this case. As far as i know she is allowed to start in the other competitions now. I also have to say, that even though there seems to be a doping issue with this russian athlete we should differentiate between this case and "real" doping. As far as i know she "only" took a medicine against an tonsillitis that was not allowed which i guess was not in order to improve her performance or something but by mistake. I mean i know that this is still an offence against the doping rules but it is certainly not the same as if she would have taken steroids or testosterone or stuff like that in order to increase her muscles.

And for Russian athletes this is not the first time. By the way Russia is banned for a few years from international competitions. Only the Russian Olympic Committee is participating in the Olympic Games, not being classified as representing the country.
If all this is confirmed, even the Russian Olympic Committee will run the risk of being banned. I hope you check this out soon, for the sporting truth.

I've bee so far behind following the news I didn't even realise there's an ongoing scandal with Russian athletes and dope again. Reading now the courts ruled she could continue to compete nevertheless but seriously, she's 15 and already taking performance drugs? I thought this free-for-all steroid culture died firmly in the 1990s. Guess I'm really out of touch.
P.S. I'm so behind I actually thought for days ROC was Republic of China.
P.P.S. Tried my best watching some events but Winter sports is really a bit dry for me.

I'm sure they will test it properly so athletes who cheat will not be able to do anything and be punished accordingly. This doping scandal has probably happened many times and happened in many events so it's not too surprising for viewers. But hopefully, this will not happen again in the next event so that it will not spoil the sports spirit of the other athletes.Hopefully, there will be an announcement regarding the doping scandal to resolve everything properly. Using the current state of technology, I think the committee can get the results quickly and accurately.

So many interesting things happened today.
In hockey tournament Denmark wn against Latvia 3:2 after very good fight, Slovakia unexpected easy - 4:0 beat recent vice-champions Germany. Switzerland win against Czech Republic is another surprise. While Canada had easy life against China. Though, scoring 2 goals for China is good achievement.

Jarl Magnus Riiber threw away golden medal in Nordic combined by simply going wrong way:

Eduard Latypov in biathlon relay had almost 1 minute lead before last shooting, but then he missed 5 (!!!) times and earned 2 penalty laps. Russian team finished just 3rd aftert that when they already had gold in their hands. Another gold by Norway, silver goes to France.
Kamila Valieva won gold in short program, despite doping scandal.
In men bobsleigh all 3 medals were taken by athletes from Germany. How unexpected

Today China is celebrating lantern festival which is more popular and is celebrated on the 15th day of the first month of the lunar calendar. Thi year it has happened today along with the Beijing Winter Olympics 10th day. Today it would be an enjoyable day for travel enthusiasts to see lanterns floating all around. However the players who are within the Olympic locations can enjoy from there, as players aren't allowed to get outside. Anyhow China is really taking big efforts and hosting the winter Olympics in a much better way.

Today there was first 2 heats of men bobsleigh. In 1st and 2nd places Germany already hgave solid lead. But finally we saw Jamaica bobsleigh team. They reached finish, but just after 2 heats they're already 4.20 seconds behind leaders. On the other hand, they're just 0.11 seconds behind another exotic country - Brazil, so they have chance not to finish last.
Tomorrow hockey playoffs will begin, we have Latvia - Denmark, Slovakia - Germany, Czech Republic - Switzerland and China - Canada. Slovakia - Germany looks msot difficult to predict, other pairs have obvious favorites.
Also, there is biathlon relay event for men and nordic combined competition.
What is interesting, that unlike luge, skeleton or most of bobsleigh events where Germany dominate, in women monobob USA and Canada were best.

Kaillie Humphries won the first-ever gold at the Olympics in the monobob.
Interesting stuff about her - until 2020 she represented Canada and won several medals, including gold. But now she is citizen of USA and now successfully represents her new country.What is interesting, that unlike luge, skeleton or most of bobsleigh events where Germany dominate, in women monobob USA and Canada were best.

It seems that all charges against Valieva have been dropped and tomorrow she will perform in the individual program along with all the other participants.
Valieva's headquarters came up with (or told the truth) a variant of how a prohibited substance could get into her body and they were believed. A difficult decision and in any case, many are already very unhappy with it.
But scandals (including doping) are an integral part of any big competition.

But scandals (including doping) are an integral part of any big competition.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) gave decision in favour of 15 years old Kamila Valieva after dismissing appeals from the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the governing skating body (ISU). Her minor age was the kay factor that turned the decision in her favor. More about this news here

Norway, Germany and USA are at top three positions and there is no confirmation that how final medal tally will look like since there there is difference of 1 gold only. As I am writing events of curling, freestyle skiing and nordci combined are in progress and we will see new medals on tally. Still 6 more days to go and for us to enjoy the games.
This top 3 is the most likely to get more medals from another. Perhaps Denmark or Sweden will still get their position better.
But Norway must secure first place. Germany should be in second. The third is that I have more doubts, but the US is well on its way.
February 14, 2022, 03:02:18 AM
Germany can replace Norway's position if Germany can win several gold medals because there is only one gold difference between Norway and Germany. But when compared to the number of bronzes won, Norway got more than other countries.
We should be grateful can watch Olympics events on television or from the internet because we do not have to go to that country and spend a lot of money.

Indeed. So I guess that the USA can defend their position at number 3 but if the other country wins on some games and grabs one gold, their competitor will also have a chance to get a better position. Every country has a race to be at the top of the position while the events will soon end.
It will be more difficult for the player because they must use their best to win and beat the opponent. In this pandemic, watching the Olympics can entertain us while we are at home so it helps us to kill the bore.
Competition between Norway and Germany tighten further as Norway is leading by margin of just one gold. Erin Jackson became the FIRST American woman to win an individual medal since 2002 in skating event. https://t.co/tTnHVmloQS
Majority like me watches Olympics from home and pandemic have no effect on us. As I don't have money to go and watch Olympics in other countries. Very few in the world has that much resources.

Sofia Goggia will race in the downhill racing.
He tried in these days and she has less pain.
Will she be able to get a medal? It will be a miracle if she does but she can do anything.

I would say it will be difficult as she is going down on uneven terrain with 80mph speed with her shredded leg. But she already won the medal by not giving up and that's the true meaning of Olympics. All the best wishes to her for her final downhill run.

What a drama in biathlon women chasing race. Marte Olsbu won it by very solid margin - 1.36 minute. Elvira Oeberg was second, but main drama was about 3rd place - Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold was 3rd with 500m remaining, but then she felt very bad and somehow finished almost walking in 15th place. After race she was helped by doctors. While 3rd place was taken by her teammate from Norway Tiril Eckhoff.
In men race conditions were difficult - snow and strong wind. Johannes Boe had solid lead, but after all he missed 5 shots and finished 5th. His brother Tarjei was 2nd. Race winner is Quentin Fillon Maillet from France, Eduard Latypov - 3rd.
What a comeback by Finland hockey team. They were losing against Sweden 3:0 after 45 minutes, but they made amazing comeback, sent game to overtime and won game.
They finished 1st in group, while Sweden advanced directly to 1/4 final as best 2nd team.

The winter games are also pushed into the background a bit. When you watch the games you don't have the idea that these are the Olympic winter games. The focus of all the news these days remains on corona, even though the pandemic is now gradually coming to an end. It's great that those athletes prepare themselves for 4 years. Some athletes even only participate in a part/distance, if you are not at your peak then you have trained for 4 years for nothing.
not only 4 years of preparation but some are not first-timers here like they have been preparing all their life for this kind of event. anyway, the covid news will always be there as this is the reason why we don't have a very lively audience. only few spectators are allowed to witness the event. no fans from other countries are allowed. but i believe, next olympics will be different as the covid pandemic will soon turn to be endemic and most people will be fully vaccinated. so they may start accepting visitors and fans around the globe.
