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.

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!

Big thanks to jdog for making this AMAZING userbar!
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.
