I’m not sure how it was in person but on TV the 2018 World Allround were spectacular. I’d really like to see that kind of setup tried at an Olympics.

That wouldn't do, nobody pays attention to that (relative to the World Cup or even the Champion's League).

Can't say I'd be upset to see Pyeongchang take inspiration of Sochi's look - it looked great.

Nice to see construction is going along well. By the looks of it these will be quite telegenic games.

Yes. US won the 1-2 Page playoff game (usefully called the semifinals), Canada won the grand finals.

Well, Uruguay left it late but they have their first gold medal of the event, wining the (U22) men's football. Only one gold medal left to decide: men's volleyball. It will go to either Brazil or Argentina. Canada also got one last gold medal, in women's softball. Not the bat and ball gold medal I was expecting today, truth be told.

Europe's Group A is brutal. Also, still really disappointed in how dependent on luck Europe's and Africa's qualification systems are.

Lets renew the Brazil - Canada rivalry once Canada is a world power in Football and Brazil is a world power in Ice Hockey

I rest my case.

I don't know. When I ask my fellow Canadians on the street what comes to mind when they think of Brazilians the most common answer I get is "Brazilians are really sensitive about any perceived or real slight and they tend to take things that where meant in jest quite seriously". In those words exactly.

Wind assisted, it should be noticed.

Either way I have a hard time taking modern pentathlon "records" seriously due to the strength of the field mattering in the fencing portion and the course / horse draw mattering in the show jumping portion. I'm not sure I'd say it was an amazing game but it certainly had an interesting ending. Canada got insanely lucky in the bottom of the tenth (not that I'm complaining).

Is it just me or is Taekwendo, as a sport, greatly improved (especially since the 2008 Olympics)? The matches have been great so far.

Can't really help you there, I don't follow wrestling.

Nice surprise to see Canada first after day one. Obviously won't last though
