If Canada's women's team lost before the Gold Medal game, would that be a bigger upset than Belarus/Sweden 2002?

Gold and Bronze for Team GB in the women's skeleton. With Dom Parsons winning Bronze yesterday, Britain have won half the medals available in the event.

not seen the skeleton event yet, only half of the speed skating and neither super giant slaloms PHENOMENAL snowboarding cross final again though, and a very good reason why it's probably my favourite winter sport!
oh and we might have gotten another star in ESMEE VISSER from the netherlands in speed skating she BLEW away the competition in the womens 5000 meters, by simply deploying different race tactics and having fantastic power for a shy small framed 22 year old

Appreciating the wide range of coverage I’m getting via apps and over television. Haven’t watched the NBC taped prime time stuff even once. Well, maybe just passing through. But I’ve gotten what I’ve always wanted, which is a more authentic and live telling of the stories as they unfold.
I have missed Bob Costas—not seen him one time. So that’s a negative tradeoff.
General comments: No reason for US not to up their medal count at these games. Gotta do a better job at youth outreach and funding. And quit trying to market everything like NFL and NBA are God’s gift to sports and anything else better bow to these entities. Sound byte radio/TV/Sportscenter sensationalism is killing sport for sport’s sake. None of these publicized cash-grab broadcasting companies give two craps about sports; that is, the actual sports side of sports.

I adore Lizzy Yarnold so I’m very happy for her. Anyone see that French ice skater today? Had to dance the routine with a nipple out. She still got second though.

She still got second though. saw it today, lizzy BLEW AWAY the field, winning by almost half a second is phenomenal in skeleton! and two medals too! also two very close finishes in the biathlon and a dead heat in the two man bobsleigh! hope elise christie is fit for tomorrow, she got screwed in the 1500, at least we didn't get the histrionics she did last week

geez elise cannot catch a break can she?
the start she catches the next skater and doesn't reach the first corner ..... that i admit ..... she's hobbling and doesn't look good for the restart of the heat!
then she's qualified for the quarters on thursday, but gets a yellow card (which means she's gone) because of deliberate arm pushing
also the south korean womens relay in the speed skating were bloody lucky to keep their gold medal win, but huge well done to the dutch, not only getting a bronze because of the two penalties in the final, but a WORLD RECORD to boot!
and stupid eurosprt commentator thinking they had to do two runs in the 500 speed skating lol you big idiot

Elizabeth Swaney made my day. I showed my son her....heroic...run. I explained how someone so terrible got in the olympics by using loopholes. We laughed.
Then he topped it by sending me a video from when ski ballet was an Olympic event. It pleased me greatly and that was before the Kenny G kicked in as I’m the dancer’s music.

Lindsey Vonn gets to end her Olympic career with the Bronze in downhill skiing.
Sure, might not be the gold. But she's 33 and is the oldest woman to ever medal in a skiing event in the Olympics. That's worth something.

If I was a judge I'd have given them an extra point if they kissed.

For the first time ever, the US won a gold medal in cross-country skiing. Congrats to Jessie Diggins and her historic accomplishment!

Curling is a very silly sport, but this is intense AF.
