Best thing that kid could have done was never mentioned the whole cheating, breaking up bit. Now that the cat is out of the bag. Winning bronze isnt going to get the girl back. It might get you an Italian chick who at best is a 3.

Nah nah nah. An Olympic medal is a guaranteed panty dropper.

I see a girl named Francesca who is squarely in the Danger Zone on the hot/crazy matrix in his future.

I'm a sucker for the female skull riders.

Although it was a closer call than his previous races, Norwegian superstar Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo won the 10 km sprint in cross country skiing.

Norway is an overwhelming favorite in the two relay events and Klaebo is also favored to win the 50 km race on the last weekend of the Games, which would leave him with 11 total gold medals for his career (trailing only Michael Phelps' seemingly unbreakable record of 23).

Wow… figure skating final… just wow.

Golds are hard to win. You can't just have the most potential or be the best athlete. If he's an elite gamer, he will grow and come back stronger.

It was clear from the first skate of the team competition that the pressure of the Olympics was more than he expected.

That was shocking. Feel really bad for the kid..... So much pressure. Sports can be so cruel

I was really impressed by his composure during the interview coming off the ice. No excuses, just said I blew it. Pressure clearly got in his head.

Coaches should have had a plan in place for him to back off of some of the complexity in his program; looked like he was going for his biggest jump at the beginning (which he didn't need with the lead he had and the mistakes of the skaters in front of him), and fell apart when he didn't hit it.

WOW! GO Avery! Will be watching!

KAZAKHSTAN NUMBER ONE EXPORTER OF POTASSIUM

ALL OTHER NATIONS HAVE INFERIOR POTASSIUM

Had to borrow a map, to find where the hell Kazakhstan was located.

Crazy developing story in the giant slalom race as the first guy down the mountain in the first run, Lucas Pinheiro Braathen of Brazil, opens with a time no other skier has been able to touch. World Cup leader Marco Odermatt of Switzerland is 0.95 seconds back, no one else is within a second.

Brazil has never won a Winter Olympic medal.

After a head to head defeat by Australia in the final of dual moguls skiing, the US leads freaking Australia by only one gold medal. Do they even have snow in Australia?

Proving that other countries can also fall flat on their faces, the heavily favored Swedes meet with disaster in the second leg of the women's cross country relay. Their athlete falls and breaks a binding on her ski, then the fat guy running to bring her another ski also falls down.

Ola, ola ola

Back seat driver for a second, definitely thought he was done!

First medal ever for a tropical nation in the Winter Olympics! (Even if he did used to ski for Norway.)

And not a situation where a guy got purchased based on an ancestor, either. Braathen was born in Oslo (Norwegian father, Brazilian mother) but moved to Brazil at age 3 and grew up there.

One nation that does not blow it at the winter Games is the country of Norway, winning two more golds this morning in women's biathlon and women's cross country (the beneficiary of the Swedish collapse) to bring their total to 10.

With three gold medals from their cross country demigod, Klaebo, virtually guaranteed, Norway will be looking to break their own all-time record of 16 golds from Beijing.

The US Americans, on the other hand, will need some big results in the next 9 days to match their result of 9 golds from each of the last 5 Games. Stolz has a couple of good chances in speed skating (should be the heavy favorite in the 1500, with the US also favored in the team pursuit), and if Mikaela Shiffrin could get out of her head she could win the slalom and even the giant slalom. Red Gerard could win gold in snowboard slopestyle.

It could all come down to possible gold medal games in ice soccer against America's Hat, who are having a miserable Games to date with no golds and only 7 medals. (A men's hockey gold, however, would redeem the whole event in the eyes of most Canadians.)

Seems like Norway is always going to be near the top of the medal count as long as there are as many Nordic races as there are. Feels like us in swimming. But if we were one of the few countries where swimming was part of the culture.

I don't know but that was such a gnarly crash Kauf had to come back and win silver is awesome.

Women just stole 3 from Japan in the 8th!!

US ties Denmark 1-1 early in the first. Winner gets Greenland.

Should have put Otter in net

Wow…goal from Center Ice

Goalie with a save percentage of .500. Pull him!

Cory and Company take down Japan in women's curling, now 3-1 in the round robin.

I really wanted Greenland....

I heard that if we lose by 2 or more goals, Frederik X becomes the new leader of America. I'm not sure if that will make the No Kings crowd happy or sad.
