I'm so sad for Kasai too, but he seemed to enjoy silver nonetheless so at least he's happy. But after Stoch jumped shorter I really hoped he will come 2nd after Japanese ski jumper. | ||

It is very nice of you to have hoped that as a Pole!  But yeah, he really enjoyed silver as well | ||

The feeling of losing gold will be stronger than the fact that he won silver, that is the kind of difference one cannot even imagine. | ||

So 0.003s is about 4.3 centimeters on average during the race It does sound quite fair put like that. Centimeters I understand. Read someone who did the math on if they had used an old fashioned start gun where the skater 4 meters further away from the gun would hear it 0.0136s later due to the speed of sound. Now they don't do that but I found it to put the matter in an interesting perspective. 0.003s. Is that the difference of swooshing through a fart cloud? + Show Spoiler + no seriously, someone test that | ||

I am no expert, only really watch skiing and the various other winter sports at the Olympics,but I always recall Norway totally dominating in the likes of cross country and biathlon. They've had some medals here, but quite a lot of results where their athletes were not only beaten, but well off the pace as well, something I'm not used to seeing.

I wonder if the media over there are mad because if it. ^^ Not much to do when skis are failing. | ||
