Yeah. I watch ARD as well. His jump looked good. But his skiing was not as good as usual.Definitely but german tv and the coaches said his values and his form is great. Really didn't look like it
They never even tried to catch him. If they were working together, who knows. 5km are short, though. Perhaps under the old format.They were never going to catch Graabak.
Pretty sure Germany will take silver. But difficult to say when they aren’t racing at all. For all I know the Japanese is brilliant in 500m.

I think so too. With Rydzek not in his best shape as well, gold was never on the table.The gambled - somewhat the same as with Riiber. Riiber didn't know, but clearly he thought he was going to do better than he did.
This is the reason why I think Norway didn't want to gamble for the relay. If Riiber couldn't do it in the individual race at least it only hurt himself.
Germany could obviously have taken gold with someone else than Frenzel, but most likely I think they would have ended up with silver regardless.
I don’t know what they’re supposed to do, based on the discourse Canada still has 4 or 5 of the best teams in the world on both sides, but only one can go to the Olympics.Have to think there is a come to jesus moment for Curling Canada if they come away from these Olympics empty handed....something needs to change.
I have heard suggestions to have the Olympic teams decided in the spring the year before so they have more time to actually prepare and change some of the residency requirements to allow stronger teams to form. Whatever it is, I don't think you can just do nothing and run it back exactly the same.I don’t know what they’re supposed to do, based on the discourse Canada still has 4 or 5 of the best teams in the world on both sides, but only one can go to the Olympics.
Prepare for what? They play all season together anyways. Teams from other countries come there to train and play Canadian tournaments because that’s the toughest competition.I have heard suggestions to have the Olympic teams decided in the spring the year before so they have more time to actually prepare and change some of the residency requirements to allow stronger teams to form.
