- I just want these Games to be cancelled now. It's clear this whole thing is going to eventually blow up. If not somehow on the ice or whatever, the Russian trolls are going to get it done.
- I've had to deal with quite a number of those the last several days (and wondering what non-zero number of them have taken to the States in support of Drumpf).
- Valieva is now saying her grandfather's medication (probably for a heart condition) tripped the positive. Failing to answer at least two questions: Why, as a world-level athlete who HAS TO KNOW you are being tested for drugs at almost all times, are you taking anything that isn't either legal or a therapeutic exception? Secondly, why are you taking THAT medication at all???
- Yeah, I think it's fucking bullshit, and I think it's coming from upstairs, if you know what I'm saying. A lot of the people defending Valieva as underage don't get the problem that this makes that problem WORSE.
- To give you how ridiculous it is that this ruling holds from the CAS, the IOC has made an additional provision -- if Valieva finishes in the top 24 of the short program (Hint: She Will), a 25th skater will be advanced into the free skate as well.
Medal Table:
- Norway pretty much clinched the #1 spot for the Games with three golds today so far, making 12. Germany has 8, USA 7, Austria, the Netherlands, and the hosts from China 6 each. The 2-man bobsled is left, so Germany will have 9 by the end of the night.
