Some horseshit on that interference review

Yeah.. I don't think they would make that call in an NHL game but as Jauronimo pointed out the rules are different in the Olympics and I don't know them all... nor will I ever lol.

Shout-out to Jessie Diggins for taking the Bronze Medal in the Cross Country 10K Freestyle!!

 

Somehow was able to finish third while skiing with a serious rib injury....way to gut it out!!

 

Before Diggins, the U.S. won 1 Cross Country medal in 90+ years...Diggins has won 4 in the last 3 Olympics.

At the end of the Olympics, I want to see regular people try events like Skeleton, freestyle skiing and half pipe snowboarding.  Just see them completely wipe out as some of these sports that look easy for the Olympians are crazy hard.

I feel for Malinin, the Olympic pressure destroyed him from beginning to end in that routine.  In the end it was a massive choke on the biggest stage.  He handled it with class but you could see how much he was hurting for letting the pressure throw him way off his game.

Some comedian said something about that, like what if the Olympics just notified you, hey, you've been selected to be the USA representative for the 100-meter dash, and you had to do it. 

 

Anyways....

Just watched the malinin routine, that was a big choke job, like he fell but he didnt even attempt really on two jumps. It just got worse as it went on.

"After a first period in which the Americans out-shot Italy 20-2, but only led 1-0 on Megan Keller’s goal, the U.S finally broke through with a five-goal second period.

 

Laila Edwards, Hannah Bilka and Britta Curl-Salemme also scored. Gwyneth Philips finished with six saves as the Americans posted their fourth straight shutout.

 

The Group A-winning U.S. has outscored its opponents by a combined 26-1 in winning all five games, with the lone goal allowed in a 5-1 tournament-opening win over Czechia.

 

With Coyne Schofield, Lee Stecklein and Grace Zumwinkle making the scoresheet Friday, the U.S. has only two skaters — defenders Cayla Barnes and Rory Guilday — without a point.

 

“At the other day I think it’s everyone’s willing to do whatever it takes to be a part of the success of this team,” Coyne Schofield said. “And whatever role’s asked of us on a given night that’s what we’re going to do.”

 

Now two wins away from winning its third Olympic gold medal, the U.S. advanced to the semifinals on Monday. The Americans will play either Sweden, after the Group B winner upset Czechia 2-0 earlier in the day, or Germany, should the seventh-seeded team knock off Canada in its quarterfinal on Saturday.

 

Finland faces Switzerland in the other quarterfinal on Saturday."

Stolz established himself as a two-time Olympic gold medalist, halfway to his goal of four at the Milan Cortina Games, by winning the 500 meters on Saturday to follow up his victory in the 1,000. Those twin triumphs allowed Stolz, a 21-year-old from Wisconsin, to join Heiden as the only men to complete the 500-1,000 double in speedskating at one Olympics.

 

Heiden, of course, did it as part of his record sweep of all five individual events at the 1980 Lake Placid Games for the U.S., taking everything from the 500 to the 10,000, and all in Olympic-record time.

 

Stolz finished the 500 in an Olympic-record time of 33.77 seconds, after also setting a Games mark in his win in the 1,000 on Wednesday. Both times, the silver went to Jenning do Boo of the Netherlands, who clocked 33.88 in the shortest speedskating event. Both times, they raced head-to-head in the same heat.

 

Stolz was leading Wednesday as they came out of the final curve, then they were even entering the last stretch. But Stolz, who overcame a deficit in the 1,000, turned on the speed and leaned across the line first again in the 500. De Boo slipped and fell into...
