- My God, we made it through another one. Each one more surprising than the last, but it appears that, among other things, unified Korean teams in several sports, as well as the unified Korea walk-in, have allowed us to survive another Olympic Games, as we are now less than 18 hours from the Flame going out and the youth of the world being called to Beijing in four years..
- And no, Americans are not going to give one flying fuck about curling in three weeks. But that may be one of the biggest upsets in these Games.
- According to Inside the Games, the one major story left in these Games has lain unresolved. A meeting to determine if Russia's flag will be allowed to fly at the Closing Ceremonies will be an 11th hour one, as a meeting to make the decision broke up without one.
- Two Canadians were arrested for theft of a car in the Olympic areas of PyeongChang. One is rumored to be skicross racer Dave Duncan. (Inside the Games)
- Medal Count: Two records fell yesterday. The host South Koreans, to no one's surprise, broke their total medal record, getting their 15th yesterday (and will get #16 on the final day with the women's curling Grand Final). Norway broke the all-time total record for a single Winter Games with a bronze in the team alpine event being their 38th medal of these Games, breaking the record of 37 by the USA in Vancouver.
- However, it sounds as if the record of 14 golds in a single Winter Games is safe. Both Norway (women's cross-country marathon) and Germany (four-man bobsled) have a shot in the few medal events left to match the 14.
The truth is not what actually happened. It's what you can ENFORCE happened. It's ALL enforcement.
