Faster Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Sucks that it didn't stick for silver. But it is the first alpine medal in 20 years. Jennifer Jones, Brad Jacobs and the Women's Hockey team are each a win from a medal. So how 24 hours can change things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micheal_warren Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 A bronze today in the Mens Super G event! It was a gripping event won by Norway. Was pleased to see Bode Miller win bronze as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faster Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 I was sure that Maltais would have gotten DQed for that pass on Brockhoff, but nope. Unfortunately Jacobellis is out, given her history and injuries if it wasn't Maltais or Ricker, I'd have liked it to be Jacobellis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faster Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 By the end of the second weekend in Vancouver Canada was 4-4-1. Right now its 4-6-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately Jacobellis is out, given her history and injuries if it wasn't Maltais or Ricker, I'd have liked it to be Jacobellis. Honestly, it takes a lot to get DQed in snowboardcross. Not really surprised by the top 2, Samkova and Maltais have clearly been the two best racers this year (in that order). The French rider wining bronze is a huge surprise. Hudec getting bronze is great - after so many close calls, finally another alpine medal for Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faster Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Its funny Torino, Ricker crashes, Maltais medals Vancouver, Maltais craches, Ricker medals Sochi, Ricker crashes, Maltais medals. Going into the weekend 3 medals would have been great, but no gold given the men's 1000m short track and women's snowboardcross is disappointing.

She wasn't even a medal contender. Looks like no medal in the women's 1500m Nesbitt has fallen off. Looks like no medal in the women's 1500m Nesbitt has fallen off.

Faster Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Tomorrow: 2-man bobsleigh: Canada 3 sits in 4th place, only 0.12 out of second. Only 0.38 separates 2nd from 10th. So two good runs by any team (including the 3 Canadian sleds) could get you on the podium. Figure skating; Ice Dance: Should be a silver medal day for Virtue and Moir Freestyle Skiing; Men's Aerials: Travis Gerrits goes tomorrow with a strong medal chance. A consistent performance will see him land in the medal hunt. Hockey: Canada plays Switzerland in the semi-finals, a win and at least silver. Men's Snowboard Cross: Not sure how this is going to go, but Canada could medal. A potential of 5 medals (4 in count, 1 guaranteed). If Canada can do well tomorrow it would go a long way to putting the team in position to challenge the 26 medals from Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave199 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 So I just finished watching the Ice dance on CBC and they are insinuating that the figure skating scores are being fixed for Americans to win gold in ice dance and Russia for the Team event. I wonder if this will have legs? They also showed a tweet from one of those people who created the new judging system who says that Virtue/Moir should be in the lead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLishere Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 The person who tweeted that was the creator of the Finnstep sequence; he said Virtue/Moir had superior steps and should've have been underscored Virtue and Moir's performance of the short dance was their best of the season, but their score wasn't Almost every skating couple in the top 10 got a new personal best, except Virtue and Moir The 2 point difference separating V/M and D/W give further slack for the judges tomorrow D/W could realistically make a mistake and V/M could skate clean; the judges will still award gold to Davis/White with peace of mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
