Norway still is the first.

It certainly is.  
However, let's remember the last time Russia is to blame for everything!  In Tokyo, excellently performed gymnasts from Russia were wrongly sued, and now there is a scandal around the world's strongest female f gurist.  For some reason, it is with those who claim to be worthy medals.  And at the same time, all the rest and Norway and from Germany and of course from the USA - all athletes are absolutely clean.  I affirm that this is not the case.  And this is all a scam and not a fair game of dirty officials from the Olympic Committee.  
And also keep in mind how much more difficult it is to train and win for such Russian athletes who are practically being hounded.

15-year-old figure skater phenom Kamila Valieva from Russia recently tested positive in doping test. You are right in saying that USA and its allies from EU are not touched by authorities in mega events like olympics. This clearly tells that games are no more neutral rather politicised. Russian athletes are representing there country under the acronym ROC, something very strange to digest for person like me.

What is ROC at the Winter Olympics? Why Russian athletes are competing at Beijing 2022 despite doping ban

Politics still is incorporated in every international event that the arrival of Putin in the ceremony was even frowned by some media. Surely the commission has faults here because Kamila Valieva was not protected her privacy she is a minor and was publicized. This is going to affect the child's mental health.

It was said that the result was from Dec 2021, the newer result that was submitted was negative which was conducted within 20days before the Olympics. Both recent doping tests in Europe which she also participated European skating championship and in Beijing were negative.

Indeed. So I guess that the USA can defend their position at number 3 but if the other country wins on some games and grabs one gold, their competitor will also have a chance to get a better position. Every country has a race to be at the top of the position while the events will soon end.

It will be more difficult for the player because they must use their best to win and beat the opponent. In this pandemic, watching the Olympics can entertain us while we are at home so it helps us to kill the bore.

Competition between Norway and Germany tighten further as Norway is leading by margin of just one gold. Erin Jackson became the FIRST American woman to win an individual medal since 2002 in skating event. https://t.co/tTnHVmloQS

Majority like me watches Olympics from home and pandemic have no effect on us. As I don't have money to go and watch Olympics in other countries. Very few in the world has that much resources.

Politics will always be part of the games, after all athletes do not go to the games only representing themselves but show their affiliation to their country and in fact compete in delegations that represent their countries.

It is really sad, after all the games should represent the fraternity between the many different countries and instead what we get most of the time is the opposite, and shows the whole world how divided we really are and how those differences are making us to grow apart more and more as times passes.

The winter games are also pushed into the background a bit. When you watch the games you don't have the idea that these are the Olympic winter games. The focus of all the news these days remains on corona, even though the pandemic is now gradually coming to an end. It's great that those athletes prepare themselves for 4 years. Some athletes even only participate in a part/distance, if you are not at your peak then you have trained for 4 years for nothing.

not only 4 years of preparation but some are not first-timers here like they have been preparing all their life for this kind of event. anyway, the covid news will always be there as this is the reason why we don't have a very lively audience. only few spectators are allowed to witness the event. no fans from other countries are allowed. but i believe, next olympics will be different as the covid pandemic will soon turn to be endemic and most people will be fully vaccinated. so they may start accepting visitors and fans around the globe.

Sofia Goggia will race in the downhill racing.
He tried in these days and she has less pain.

Will she be able to get a medal? It will be a miracle if she does but she can do anything.

What a drama in biathlon women chasing race. Marte Olsbu won it by very solid margin - 1.36 minute. Elvira Oeberg was second, but main drama was about 3rd place - Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold was 3rd with 500m remaining, but then she felt very bad and somehow finished almost walking in 15th place. After race she was helped by doctors. While 3rd place was taken by her teammate from Norway Tiril Eckhoff.
In men race conditions were difficult - snow and strong wind. Johannes Boe had solid lead, but after all he missed 5 shots and finished 5th. His brother Tarjei was 2nd. Race winner is Quentin Fillon Maillet from France, Eduard Latypov - 3rd.
What a comeback by Finland hockey team. They were losing against Sweden 3:0 after 45 minutes, but they made amazing comeback, sent game to overtime and won game.
 They finished 1st in group, while Sweden advanced directly to 1/4 final as best 2nd team.

I would say it will be difficult as she is going down on uneven terrain with 80mph speed with her shredded leg. But she already won the medal by not giving up and that's the true meaning of Olympics. All the best wishes to her for her final downhill run.

Germany can replace Norway's position if Germany can win several gold medals because there is only one gold difference between Norway and Germany. But when compared to the number of bronzes won, Norway got more than other countries.

We should be grateful can watch Olympics events on television or from the internet because we do not have to go to that country and spend a lot of money.

Norway, Germany and USA are at top three positions and there is no confirmation that how final medal tally will look like since there there is difference of 1 gold only. As I am writing events of curling, freestyle skiing and nordci combined are in progress and we will see new medals on tally. Still 6 more days to go and for us to enjoy the games.

This top 3 is the most likely to get more medals from another. Perhaps Denmark or Sweden will still get their position better.

But Norway must secure first place. Germany should be in second. The third is that I have more doubts, but the US is well on its way.

It seems that all charges against Valieva have been dropped and tomorrow she will perform in the individual program along with all the other participants.
Valieva's headquarters came up with (or told the truth) a variant of how a prohibited substance could get into her body and they were believed. A difficult decision and in any case, many are already very unhappy with it.
But scandals (including doping) are an integral part of any big competition.

But scandals (including doping) are an integral part of any big competition.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) gave decision in favour of 15 years old Kamila Valieva after dismissing appeals from the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the governing skating body (ISU). Her minor age was the kay factor that turned the decision in her favor.  More about this news here

Today there was first 2 heats of men bobsleigh. In 1st and 2nd places Germany already hgave solid lead. But finally we saw Jamaica bobsleigh team. They reached finish, but just after 2 heats they're already 4.20 seconds behind leaders. On the other hand, they're just 0.11 seconds behind another exotic country - Brazil, so they have chance not to finish last.
Tomorrow hockey playoffs will begin, we have Latvia - Denmark, Slovakia - Germany, Czech Republic - Switzerland and China - Canada. Slovakia - Germany looks msot difficult to predict, other pairs have obvious favorites.
Also, there is biathlon relay event for men and nordic combined competition.

Kaillie Humphries won the first-ever gold at the Olympics in the monobob.

Interesting stuff about her - until 2020 she represented Canada and won several medals, including gold. But now she is citizen of USA and now successfully represents her new country.
What is interesting, that unlike luge, skeleton or most of bobsleigh events where Germany dominate, in women monobob USA and Canada were best.

Today China is celebrating lantern festival which is more popular and is celebrated on the 15th day of the first month of the lunar calendar. Thi year it has happened today along with the Beijing Winter Olympics 10th day. Today it would be an enjoyable day for travel enthusiasts to see lanterns floating all around. However the players who are within the Olympic locations can enjoy from there, as players aren't allowed to get outside. Anyhow China is really taking big efforts and hosting the winter Olympics in a much better way.

After Monday's events, Norway extended their lead at the top of the medals table. However, it is still quite crowded at the top with Germany and the United States close behind.

So many interesting things happened today.
In hockey tournament Denmark wn against Latvia 3:2 after very good fight, Slovakia unexpected easy - 4:0 beat recent vice-champions Germany. Switzerland win against Czech Republic is another surprise. While Canada had easy life against China. Though, scoring 2 goals for China is good achievement.
1/4 finals already tomorrow - it's USA - Slovakia, Russia - Denmark, Finland - Switzerland and Sweden - Canada which is most interesting pair.
Jarl Magnus Riiber threw away golden medal in Nordic combined by simply going wrong way:

Eduard Latypov in biathlon relay had almost 1 minute lead before last shooting, but then he missed 5 (!!!) times and earned 2 penalty laps. Russian team finished just 3rd aftert that when they already had gold in their hands. Another gold by Norway, silver goes to France.
Kamila Valieva won gold in short program, despite doping scandal.
In men bobsleigh all 3 medals were taken by athletes from Germany. How unexpected .
in women ski slopestyle Kelly Sildaru of Estonia took home bronze, first medal for her country in this Olympics. Mathilde Gremaud from Switzerland won gold.

I am very curious how this will continue with the doping scandal with the Russian. A lot of problems could arise from that. If she wins gold but is tested positive, she may hand in her medal and the number 2 will receive the gold medals. But things like that should actually be checked much faster, right? Especially since the rumors are already there. With current technology it should be so tested.

And for Russian athletes this is not the first time. By the way Russia is banned for a few years from international competitions. Only the Russian Olympic Committee is participating in the Olympic Games, not being classified as representing the country.

If all this is confirmed, even the Russian Olympic Committee will run the risk of being banned. I hope you check this out soon, for the sporting truth.
