EPTIn general, it's a pity that there are so little possibilities to set world records at winter sports.

This Russian girl scored 18 points more with the same routine (with a mistake), than her personal best a month ago, making her score the second highest figure skating score in the last 8 years. Just be happy Russia stole a gold and leave it at that.

I love Canada and everything, but i'm not a moron. Canada was gifted at least 2 of those 14 gold we got in 2010. The IOC, however, does not screw around with men's hockey due to the NHL having such a big hand in the event. The IOC is constantly having the suck off NHL officials to get them to send the NHL players to the games for free. The IOC fixes events that it has a firm strangle hold on. from a TV Viewers perspective, Russia nad Sochi has put on a great show. they deserve a couple of bullshit medals just like Vancouver/Canada got in 2010. The ice for hockey has sucked balls though. from 10,000 miles away on TV... Sochi has been great... give those Russian mofos a few extra medals and call it a day! TO RUSSIA... WITH LOVE! | ||

Your fans of the sport are fanatical and at every event too! I think we have only 1 non skating related medal.  @Lamprey, I think for the most part jury related events are affected most. Apart from doping your athletes it is very hard to beat someone who simply is much faster than you in skiing or skating. | ||

So I was kinda rooting for Norway. And btw I was also screaming after Svendsens bad shooting, lol. | ||

I love Bjoerndalen but I am always happy when Svendsen misses On February 23 2014 00:21 Liquid`Drone wrote: but wtf why is he so slow now!!?? Bjoerndalen was a bit slow in the end, but Pfeiffer was pretty beastly as well (he also took 12 seconds from Malyshko and the others). Congrats to Russia, I am really happy that Russia finally won something in men's Biathlon. | ||
