It’s not about how you start, it’s about how you finish! 🤣 #WinterOlympics

I'm surprised telecasts don't do more of these kinds of overlays in all the time trial Olympic sports, especially ones where lines matter. Surely the technology is there now for at least automated animations? (This was really informative comparing Shiffrin to Duerr)

Ski ballet clip on primetime!

NBC Late Night added this whole segment to tape-delayed women's slopestyle so they could retroactively rag on individual component scores

Slopestyle is perfect for the primetime treatment. Give me the highlights and skip the falls and also-rans. Done in 30 min, about as much slopestyle I care to see

This GOOD BOY ran onto the course during the Women’s Cross-Country Skiing Team Sprint event, crossing the finish line and being automatically recorded by OMEGA’s photofinish camera 😆

Mikaela Shiffrin wins the slalom gold medal by 1.50 seconds

If you add up the winning margins of the winners at the 1998, 2002, 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018, and 2022 women's slalom, you get 1.51 seconds

Day off for sliding today, so if you've got any sliding questions, I'm not doing much else!

Some folks have asked about "track zamboni", and that's not a thing. The ice is rough, not smooth!

BUT! We do smooth bumps out of the track before hitting it with a spritz. This is how they do that
ASMR winter olympics 🤤

Is it normal to Edward 40-hands your ski poles to your hands?

Was not expecting to be so nervous for Mikaela's second run. What a thrill! Great to see an all-time talent deliver.

@mitchgoldich.bsky.social You asked for a Happy Gilmore-style curling movie and the universe has already been working on delivering one. This trailer has some surprises in it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWm6...

Don't like 3 on 3 for knockout hockey OT

At least they have OT unlike the inferior summer Olympic hockey

If you’re wondering how close today’s monobob race was over 3 1/2 miles of sliding, the IBSF has this handy image for you.

Elana beats Laura by a few feet, and Kaillie by about a sled length.

Peacock just cut to commercial and ended the stream in the middle of an extra end

There were 19 teams in the women's cross-country relay and only 10 for the men's?
