Another Gold.

12 medals.

Team Pursuit Speedskating.

Kind of a cool and exciting event if you haven't seen it.

As always speed skating a productive series of events for Canada.

I really enjoy the long-track speedskating during the Olympics. Started with Gaetan Boucher in 84 and then with all the great ladies like Lemay-Doan, Klassen, Hughes, etc.

Short-track is a little too roller-derbyish and chaotic for my liking. I used to do stuff like that at public skating... until everybody started to yell at me to slow down and stop being a little shit.

Brad Jacob's and team have qualified for curling semifinals ensuring they will take the ice for a medal game.

They have 2 remaining round robin games which could further set seedings.

Currently the foursome is 6-1 behind only Switzerland at 7-0.

Meanwhile the women's side led by world #1 Rachel Homan defeated previously unbeaten Sweden to place themselves tied for 4th overall (the top 4 teams play in the semis).

If they win their last 2 they will make the semis.

Chances are alive for 2 medals in curling.

Jacob's and Homan are good enough to make those golds.

Steven Dubois just won Canada's 14th medal... GOLD!!!

500M short track.

[Cornuck]

One more medal for sure in men's curling, good chance in women's curling as well. And of course mens hockey is still there for us!

Speed skating Women's 1500m Maltais gets the bronze for her 3rd medal.

Maltais previously won gold in team pursuit and bronze in the 3,000m

[donlever]

As ap notes...

2 more coming, either Gold or Silver in men's curling and obviously hockey.

Rachel Homan a disappointing loss to Sweden in the semis so she will play the US for Bronze in women's curling ao perhaps a 3rd.

Not going to hit 2022's 26 nor the pre games guesses of 25 - 27 via various pundits.

I haven't watched any of this yet. A little bit of men's hockey.

Have they had the men's downhill yet? I guess so, eh?

[Megaterio Llamas]

From the same organization that banned Russian athletes.

Boom.

Countries that have killed more people and continue to do, invading other sovereign countries to kidnap their leaders, etc.... they get to dictate who can compete?! Allowing a G-side regime to waltz in the opening ceremonies waving their isnotreal flag... hmmm, yeah.

Boom. Carlito with the truth bomb.

I find it comical that people think Israel is genocidal.
