One of the competitions that has already been taking place is Curling.

I found it interesting to note that in three games already completed, both the USA and Canada managed to win only 1 and by the minimum margin. How are these two countries, traditionally good at this competition, performing so poorly? (This in the Mixed Doubles category.)

I think that this is simply due to the fact that curling has become more and more popular in recent years and, accordingly, there are more and more good athletes and teams. It is this competition that has led to the fact that teams traditionally strong in past years begin to lose, giving way to new stellar curling

I would like to add that bobsleigh is becoming more and more popular also, as this year there will first women monobob races. I dont remember women participating in world and other championships either.

Also I cant remember that I saw nordic combined before. What it this? Mixture of biathlon and ski jumping? Interesting to see how this is going to be. First they jump, then change skies and race? This is going to be exciting to watch, as if someone is bad at jumping, he can improve results by speed skiing.

They are just ordinary people like us and have same strength like we have. Let them come in Olympics and with time when things get matured, may be we see some policies for them. Right now they are in phase of inclusion in Olympics. I am sure Olympics committee have some policies regarding there inclusion. 

No one argues that they are ordinary people, but if a woman has a man's body, then she has an advantage over those women who have a female body. You will not dispute the fact that men on average are significantly superior to women in physical strength? It is for this reason that women have their own separate competitions, and now because of the politics that mixes transgenders with women, women are suffering because it is mostly transgenders who win prizes because of their physical superiority.

I don't know the details but surely the Olympics organisers must be aware of this fact too. There must be some SOP adopted on inclusion of transgenders in the game. They are neglected community of our society and we must welcome there inclusion. Such discussions will only discourage them.

Bobsleigh, skeleteon or luge is interesting sport - you need to have big balls to ride down in such big speed. It will be interesting to see Jamaica bobsleigh in Olympics. I think they don't participate in boblseigh World Cup, so, they will come to Olympics without much practice.
Nordic combined is old sport, it is in Olympics for long time already. It's mixture of skiing and ski jumping, not biathlon. But you described it correct. These sports is so different that is very difficult to be good at both.

They have already participated in 1993. I would not say they dont have much practice

But jokes aside, lets congratulate Norway with their first gold medal this year in Women's 7.5km + 7.5km Skiathlon.

The pages I visit for sports news are flashing with Olympic timetable changes due to covid... Some athletes leave their countries healthy, and when their plane lands, get covid confirmed... Some training sessions are postponed or cancelled due to covid... Already many changes in team rosters...

This is not surprising, in this winter sport, as in many others, there are always many winners from the Scandinavian countries.   
Of course, congratulations to Teresa Johaug from Norway on her very first gold meda!!!
And I would also add congratulations to the Russian athlete Natalya Nepryaeva for the silver medal and to the athlete Teresa Stadlober from Austria, who took 3rd place.!!!

Norway got another gold medal. They won in biathlon mixed relay. It was very interesting race. Strong wind made shooting difficult for athletes and they missed a lot. At one point even USA were in 2nd place, but after all they finished in solid 8th place. France won silver, Russia - bronze, despite that they had over 20 seconds lead after last exchange

They have already participated in 1993. I would not say they dont have much practice

Yeah, I know. But I mean that they don't participate in regular competitions during the season

[delfastTions]

It is reported that among the athletes at the Olympics in the last 24 hours alone, 25 new cases of covid-19 infection have been detected. Another 20 cases are other persons from the team escort who do not directly participate in the competition.  
If this continues, then the strongest athletes or even teams may leave the competition.  
It's a shame, but, alas, these are the consequences of this damned pandemic.

Norway as always dominates in biathlon. By the way, has anyone made bets on this race? Due to a busy day with football, I missed this event, but I would like to know what were the quotes for the victory of the favorites. Biathlon, thanks to such a random factor as shooting, is a very dynamic sport and, in my opinion, is well suited for betting.

The 1st day has been concluded and we already have medals.

These are the results so far.

Not a big surprise a nordic country is already ahead.

On Sunday we will have more medal events - alpine and cross county skiing, freestyle skiing, ski jumping, snowboard, speed skating and luge. Also, figure skating team competition will continue, but it's completely not my sport.

Usually I don't on biathlon.It's just too tricky because of shooting, especially in such conditions like in Beijing. You can predict who will be fastest on the track, bu shooting is unpredictable. I didn't bet on today's race, but for example on womens 15km individual race, win of favorite Marte OLsbu is rated @4.55. Following athletes is listed @6.84 and @8.49.
On biathlon I would prefer H2H bets.

Yes, no big surprises. Not only from Norway, which is already ahead, but also from the other countries that already have medals.

Perhaps Australia won the bronze medal, is a surprise. But nowadays, even countries that traditionally don't have snow, but have money, can help athletes train with better infrastructure or even take them to other countries for that.

China is at no 3. Most important thing is that USA is not in top position in medal table , so far they have only won a bronze medal and now are at no 10 position. I was interested in Alpine skiing but its postponed, Alpine skiing-Men's downhill postponed after high winds

China has made a huge impact all over the world. From the construction of superb stadiums to the competition. But seems like Norway has taken a lead. Norway claimed two gold medals on Saturday to take its all-time gold tally to 134 -- that's 29 more than the United States, which sits in second on 105.

Today is the second day of the Beijing Olympic Games and we can see some of the favorites slowly rising on the table. In terms of total medals won, Russia (Team ROC) is currently in the lead, while the Nordic countries, Norway and Sweden, are still at the top in gold medals won.

This is the final order after the second day is over:

I just watched the 4th and final run of the mens sledding competition and everything went as expected there with Johannes Ludwig as the winner of the gold medal. He was the dominant athlete over the whole season and he totally deserved to win the olympics too. He had a pretty big lead with more than 0.1 seconds before the last run but you can never be to sure in sledding as a single small mistake can change everything but he managed to keep his nerves together.
I also watched the short programm of the female ice skaters yesterday and i have to say that the performance of that 15 year old russian girls was absolutely amazing and on a whole nother level than the rest of the competition.

The Chinese may not mind the boycott but they will not forget it. Seem very immature to boycott a friendly competition.

Having a hard time watching Ice skating. It's a breathtaking sport. While I expect something will happen like a girl will flip and fall I'm hoping she'd successfully make it. 15-year-old girls with arms so slim it felt like they will break any moment.

Which betting site are you betting for Ice hockey?  It's not at stake.com, we can see on stake are the Alpine, Biathlon, and Freestyle Skiing.

Betting sites may be part of EU and USA boycott that's why they are not listing winter Olympics games on there websites. I was on stake.com but couldn't find any event related to winter Olympics, I was interested in Alpine. Can you share link where I can bet on Alpine?
