BuffaloKyle Posted August 11, 2024 Posted August 11, 2024 Even though today was the end of the 2024 Summer Olympics now's a great time to start the next Olympics thread. Can you believe it is less than 18 months until the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics! It feels like just yesterday I was watching Nathan Chen skating to Elton John to win gold. I'm looking most forward to NHL players being in men's ice hockey for the first time since 2014. The biggest thing to be resolved is if Russia will be allowed to compete or not. Currently they are banned through 2025 from international tournaments by The International Ice Hockey Federation. There are so many Russian NHL players it would be quite an uproar I feel if they don't get to compete.

YouTube clip of a recent winning performance. Malinin is known as the Quad God for his gravity-defying quadruple jumps, including his signature quad axel — “signature” because he’s the only figure skater ever to land a clean quad axel in official competition. At the 2025 Grand Prix Final, he landed 7 quads in the free program, the only skater ever to do so. For some context, at the GPF he beat the 2nd place skater by 2 quads and 30 points, despite being almost 15 points behind after a disastrous short program, and the 3rd place skater by 4 quads and 40 points. So yes, he is a strong favorite for gold, but with all the pressure of the Olympics and that so-damn-slippery ice, you never know. Here is a slo-mo of Malinin’s quad axel, 4.5 revolutions in the air, doesn’t seem humanly possible … Edited January 14 by BSR Fixed link + SidewaysDM, thomas and + Just Chuck 3
+ Just Chuck Posted January 14 Posted January 14 I started watching the Biathlon events a couple of winter olympics ago and really enjoy it. It’s such a challenging event. Comparable to running up 20 flights of stairs and then threading ten needles and adding two more flights for every needle you didn’t thread on the first try. Campbell Wright is the USA’s hopeful this year. + SidewaysDM and BSR 2

Malinin was the overwhelming favorite! But the ice is so damn slippery, and pressure can get the best of even the strongest competitors. To think, Ilya won 12 international competitions in a row, yet his nerves betrayed him in the biggest one. I’m with @BuffaloKyle, I pray Malinin can bounce back in 2030 à la Nathan Chen because he is far and away the best figure skater in the world.

It was incredible since the mindset of all of the other skaters was that Malinin was 100% certain to win gold so the best they could do was silver… it lowered the pressure for them and upped it for him. In fact, during the gold medalists skate, the commentators were talking about his chances at bronze… nobody could have guessed what was going to happen! MikeBiDude, BSR and Becket 2 1
MikeBiDude Posted Sunday at 10:19 PM Posted Sunday at 10:19 PM In the happier news department…and returning to speed skating…Jordan Stolz is doing great, 2 golds so far and more skates to go. And of course, easy on the eyes. + SidewaysDM, BSR, + Just Chuck and 3 others 2 1 3
