I guess in general that is correct.

In any case it has become an event few seem to care much about unfortunately. So the competition seems a bit random.
Yeah. I'm not sure if there was a single combination this year in the worldcup.

Edit: looked it up. There wasn't. This one will be the only one this season.

For the time being sounds like ROC is being given the task of proving she has a heart issue which is why she was taking that particular drug...my guess is they will be able to come up with enough to prevent stripping of the medals but IOC will likely now have to revamp procedure for some of these sneakier doping drugs like this

Hope Jennifer Jones can get it together. Her and her team aren't looking very good against Japan so far. :(

Have noticed that she hasn't been nearly as dominate as she use to be in recent years, but hope she can still figure things out and get it together in time quickly.

Jennifer Jones loses for the first time at the Olympics. Too many missed shots otherwise this should've been a win. :(

Røiseland is so so so so good. Absolutely ridiculous. That will take some race to beat - unless she falls or something.

Sounds like this will be Sweden vs. Norway. E. Öberg got the potential to beat Røiseland I guess.

So Røiseland will have almost 40s for the pursuit it looks. Almost so much it becomes mentally difficult.

For those interested in highlights, Eurosport's Youtube channel has videos.

The male commenter is awful. I noticed here he says there's two Swedes, and later he calls Fändrich Swedish too. And "Europe are shouting for Fändrich" - what does that even mean.

It's like they just grabbed a soccer guy and gave him a mic.

These Mixed Relay Snowboard Cross rules are so dumb. You can win the first race by 20 seconds and lose the 2nd race by 5 seconds and you're last because the max time difference after 1 race is 4 seconds

Anna Hasselborg is just a fantastic curler. What a player.

Jennifer Jones just ran out of runway. That was a fantastic match.

Sweden gave Canada a huge chance to potentially tie if not maybe win in the 10th. Unfortunately Jones wasn't able to capitalize and she lost by one. Damn. :(

Damn. Canada's men's curling lost to Sweden. Both men's and women's teams now 1-2. Seriously both Jones and Gushue had a number of chances to win their matches, but they couldn't pull it off. :(
