Medal Threats:
As if anyone in the country isn't aware of The Hockey
Other Highlights:
- Ski Mountaineering makes it's Olympics debut! It's a fun sport, and races are bite sized, so it's great to sample.
- Women's figure skating goes, and chaos will again reign

This is how we signed up for university classes before they put it on the internet
The Atherstone Ball Game, a Shrove Tuesday tradition since 1199.
The rules: stay on the street and don’t kill anyone.
The ball is thrown at 3pm; whoever is holding it at 5pm wins.

Even Nazgul properly navigated the course… more than can be said of the French!
This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal

William Dandjinou just about cracked the top ten all by himself
We're still keeping track of all 4th place finishes at the Winter Olympics in our Aluminum Medal Table!
Germany has extended their lead to ten 4th place finishes with Norway a close second.

I suppose the DQ technically saves Dandjinou a third 4th place… he’s gonna have nightmares about this for a long time

Still think Short Track should have a pit-stop competition during ice breaks… fastest to swap out a blade and drop their tools win

At least we didn’t get DQ’d for poking the Dutch
Commentators blaming the ice in short track now when results don't go Canada's way.
Why do we keep falling apart late in races?

The US ladies have spent more time in the boards than they have on their skates this year in short track

Looks like he'll be in lane 2, and Dandjinou in lane 4 in the race for the medals

Dandjinou wins his semi. Laoun took out the Italian, so we're not gonna be popular with the crowd

All three Canadians thru in the 500 semis... and Dandjinou and Dubois should get inside lane in separate ones!
A full round of quarters for men's 500 and no crashes or advancements... that must just about be a first
