The German Olympic Sports Confederation expected 30 medals pre-Olympics...the amount of stupid incompetent people working there is too damn high!

I believe the Dutch one only expected around 10

But we were very good before the games and in Vancouver we had 30!!!111einseinseinself

I don't know where it's coming from that the people always having a lot of responsibility have absolutely no sense for what the (the team) really is.
As I said before Biathlon as absolutely ridicilous because Neuner retired etc. and they expected from the 2nd team a performance of those from Torino/Vancouver whilst not having those athletes anymore.

Also the bob is absolutely horrible, other nations like GB are working with companies like McLaren now to improve their bob and they improved a lot.
Here? Absolutely nothing but at least the Luge is the Winter games horse riding for Germany, they deliver gold.

Vancouver plus 1 so 9

I miss my old avatar already

We expected 3 and thought that was too optimistic and got 4. Could have had a few more as well

We expected 26 and got 26.

PM me if you want next weeks lottery numbers.

I expected that I got 0 and I got 0
that counts for something right

right

Now we just sit back and wait for the 2018 Olympics which will be a failure of biblical proportions.

driven much?

Johannes Dürr admits having passed 14 doping tests while on EPO, even though he used a double dose. He also says he started in May last year, but had to keep going as to keep his bio-passport from showing unregular values.

my TV station that is streaming the events live has some really informative information about the differents within different classifications. for example that the Visually Impaired atletes are guided by a guide and that in the Alpine Skiing events that how bigger your handicap is (like having bad sight and being completly blind or missing a multiple limbs)

I love how this forum just suddenly gets quiet yet you are working very hard, SSJ2Luigi!

Russia tho

I watched today bits of the handicapped skiers. All three of the medal winners had lost an arm. It seemed like the bronze winner couldn't ski at all though, he was just terrible.
Either way, I don't think that's a fair competition. There's just a huge difference in skiing. One arm for skiing is surely a bit of a handicap, but losing a leg. Come on... that's the real challenge. Some guys with only one leg really performed some great, amazing runs.
Now I know that the time is differently calculated for each handicap, but... well, there's just a huge misbalance there between the athletes, their handicaps and the boni they receive I think.

it's easy to work on stuff you like and even easier to ignore stuff you don't like (Man-Game) and I still have many things to do on my to-do list

but the russians are insanely good, they have had a 1-2-3, a 1-2-3-4 and a 1-2-3-4-5-6

were are you at dutch speed skaters
