That sprint at the end, wow. You could feel their pain.

The 5 metric mile finishes almost look agianst the Geneva conventions.

 

[DigiMish]

The guy in 3rd crossed the Russian's lane which is against the rules, right? Russia is apparently contesting it.

EDIT: Challenge over - the standings stand.

 

[DigiMish]

Wrong post, oops.

Why isn't the BBC broadcasting every event live? Can't see anything on 1 or 2

Women's 3k speed skating, I am ready!

The BBC doesn't stream all events online?

They're broadcasting everything live online. As for the TV channels, *shrug*.

Jp just won the russian. Russia am cry.

They have different live streams. I think you can find them if you scroll down.


Edit: for speed skating, it looks like there are 2 camps of techniques. One that swings their right arm even when not turning, and one that puts both behind their backs when not turning. Interesting to see a battle of not only strength and endurance, but also technique.

Just checked, yeah it's online and on the red button interactive tv. They usually have them on the main channels too. Looks like they just broadcast some on normal tv this time.

It's also a battle of the suits.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Always nice to see your country dominate a sport

A sweep is probably not happening though, I just want dat gold.

 

[Linius]

They say Wüst is in killer form, let's believe it will happen. Maybe we can stay ahead of Russia in the medal count for two whole days

 

[PjotrStroganov]

Being able to ride a flat race is the secret. Many start out fine but get destroyed during the last two laps.

 

[Hrothgar]

Go, go Wust!

 

[Linius]

We got this guys. Sablikova applauding for Wust.

Gimme dat Willempie footage

 

[nny]

Now that was pretty good! P

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Yesssss great run. Now maybe silver or bronze as well?

 

[Oersted]

Poor Ishizawa^^

 

[PjotrStroganov]

Them thighs!

 

[DigiMish]

Man, those thighs are massive.

 

[KlotePino]

That's what i'm TALKING bout

 

[Linius]

Gonna be hard to get two medals out of this now.

Impossible really

EDIT

Willempieeee!

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Well that was disappointing. Oh well I guess a gold is decent.

 

[PjotrStroganov]

Nice to see the others to be genuinly happy.

 

[nny]

First medal for Russia.

 

[DigiMish]

YES! First gold medal for the Russians!

EDIT: My bad, bronze lol.

 

[confuziz]

YES! First gold medal for the Russians!

In what?

 

[Slayerx]

YES! First gold medal for the Russians!

Nah, the gold is coming in about 4 hours

 

[nny]

In Sochi the gold medals come to you, even if you place third ;P

 

[DigiMish]

Sorry, I meant bronze

 

[Linius]

Well that was nice. Back to football now.

I don't know how legitimate this is(Reddit is Reddit), but apparently this happened?

At least our girls are straight

-Russian announcer after Wust's run

 

[7threst]

Wüst winning means craziness in my street since I live next door to her parents house. Whenever she wins on an event like this they change our streetname to 'Wüststreet'.

Wow for real?? Damn....

 

[dan2026]

Russia should have their medal taken away.
But it wouldn't learn them.

 

[DigiMish]

Lol, that reddit post doesn't have any video evidence. It's just word of mouth - I would be wary of just jumping on the Russia hate bandwagon.

 

[confuziz]

Yeah we need some evidence

 

[Juicy Bob]

Meanwhile, in the women's ice hockey.

Germany 1 - 0 Russia

 

[Butts-a-plenty]

terrible goal.

Yeah I doubt it's legitimacy as it's an easy thing to make up and I doubt the announcer were THAT salty about bronze. If it's true evidence will pop up sooner or later.

 

[Pedrito]

Biathlon time!

 

[Peru]

Biathlon is ON

 

[DrM]

I kinda hope that we Germans won't win anything this time. Maybe then they'll finally reform our shitty sport promotion/sponsorship system.

Oh you will get your share of medals (maybe already today in luge and ski jumping), do not worry, so bosses at Audi / VW will jump with joy

 

[Peru]

Soukalova went out like a rocket and paid for it with three misses ;/

 

[Pedrito]

Evi Sachenbacher is a biathlete now?

 

[Juicy Bob]

Russia 2-1 Germany

Very unlucky own goal from a deflection.

The announcer on NBC said that if Germany's hockey team doesn't come in at least 6th, they will have to shut it down or something? WTF?

 

[Peru]

This is a tight ass biathlon race

If it works like it does in Britain, lack of success = loss of funding.

 

[questionmark]

Kuzmina has got this.

 

[Parch]

That downhill course was tough. They really made it a challenging run. Austrians always find a way to medal in alpine events.
