Finland achieved deserved win against Russia and got first hockey Olympic gold medal in country history. After all, they were best team in tournament and only team undefeated. Norway skiing star Therese Johaug in women 30 km race won gold with almost 2 minuted advantage against 2nd place. It helped Norway to reach new record with 16 gold medals. Until record was 14 gold medals. In men 4-man bobsleigh Germany took another gold. I already lost count how many medals Germany took in bobsleigh, luge and skeleton. Great Britain women didn't had any problems against Japan in curling final and took only gold for country in this Olympics.
It was interesting Olympics, unfortunately there was doping scandal. Also, it was affected by Covid, but not that much that I was afraid of. Not that much left to wait until 2024 Paris summer games. Next winter Olympics 2026 will be in Milan-Cortina. So, finally it will be convenient times to wwatch events for us in Europe ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) .

Finally the event have come to an end. Norway kept the lead with 16 gold medals. Norway's Johannes Thingnes Boe, Biathlon keeps the lead as an individual to grab highest number of gold medals (4 gold). Even under the worst pandemic situation China managed to do the best in terms of infrastructure development and management. Right now the scenario is getting worse with Hong Kong. During this season 109 Gold, Silver and Bronze medals have been distributed to the winners of different games.

Following 16 exciting days of action-packed competition, the closing ceremony of the 24th Winter Olympic Games in Beijing was held at the Bird's Nest Stadium. There will be many memories from the 2022 Winter Olympics. Records were set, and Beijing put on a spectacular finale to a games not without scandal and controversy. I look forward to the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano-Cortina, Italy. See you!

One thing we have to give credit to China in hosting these games is that there is zero covid19 cases throughout these Olympics. I wanna share few interesting facts from this Olympics. Timothy LeDuc, a USA based Figure Skater made history by participating as the first openly non-binary Winter Olympian. It was Saudi Arabia and Haiti first ever Winter Olympics.

In terms of medals, I don't think there were any big surprises, naturally Norway was the country that took home the most gold medals.
These olympic games were marked by several positive and some negative things.
Negatives, there were several scandals that involved some athletes and competitions. Possibly, the games went better than many expected, with several records to be broken and a very positive and encouraging spirit of sportsmanship.
Another interesting thing was that the minimum age for participation began to be raised, something that until now had never been called into question, at least not with such prominence. I think that in the next Olympic Games, we will not have as many young athletes, as we have seen in recent years. Whether in winter games or summer games.

I have to agree with the minimum age for participation in Olympics. This will lessen the exploitation among very young athletes. I believe, one of the inspirations to raise the minimum age of participation to 17 from 15, is the Russian skater Valieva. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/18/sports/olympics/olympics-skating-valieva-age.htmlThe audience saw it live how she struggled and how the team reacted on her. If the team would have been more warm on her, her frustrations would have been not too heavy to carry on her own. Though we don't know what's happening behind the curtain, as we are only judging what's seen on live tv.

The winter games have always been my favorites, unfortunately I couldn't see them 100%, the same thing happened to me with the olympic games, especially due to the time restrictions, whenever there are some events in Asia the timetables for my country are very strong , and normally at those times they coincide with the rest, however I looked for some official channels to see the games live and direct, this type of event is better to see them live and pay the cable subscriptions required for it, I was really surprised by Norway the such an enormous level that they have reached in these sports.

It seems that no one will be able to move Norway from the first team place. At the last Olympiad, Norway took first place, but in gold medals they were on a par with Germany, but in this Olympiad they completely dominate - the gap from second place is 5 gold medals. China scored 8 times more gold medals than at the last Olympiad. Good progress, but it looks like cheating - the number of gold medals exceeds the number of silver and bronze medals in total. During the previous season of winter Olympics it was Norway that won the medals and next is the Germany. This time too the same is happening. As China is the host nation they might've practiced well to grab more medals. China have got different practice methodologies which is very crucial. Maybe this could've happened prior, reason why there is a massive difference in the medals won. It is known that when a country host the olympic games not only they invest a lot of money in new infrastructure, they also invest way more money on their athletes as they want to have a good performance so their citizens are happy to host the games. And since China is so powerful and it has so many people and money then it makes sense they could obtain way better results than what they did in the past by putting such a huge effort into developing their athletes.

You are right, although the winter games had to cost a lot of money to China, I don't see why they didn't come first, of course, Norway is a country that has really earned all my admiration, but China and the USA surprise me a lot , on the other hand, a criticism of the USA for the performance they did is also good to give it to them, because I think that in my opinion they have lowered the level a lot, I do not know if it is due to the pandemic, or due to eventual situations, but I firmly believe that the USA It was one of the countries that they lacked.

The Paralympic Winter Games in Beijing kicked off with 12 medal events in Para alpine skiing and Para biathlon. People's Republic of China is currently in the lead with 5 medals won in Para biathlon and 3 medals in Para alpine skiing, while Ukraine is in second with 7 medals in Para Biathlon. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FW4OhYEx.png&t=665&c=zmF-XrsEVqSLww) Source: https://www.paralympic.org/beijing-2022/results/medalstandingsThe most touching moment of the day didn't involve a medal, as Belgian para alpine skier Linda Le Bon, participated in the visually impaired downhill event with her daughter, Ulla Gilot, who stepped in as her guide after her original guide was not able to race due to an administrative error. The pair have barely had any time to train together but Le Bon still managed to finish sixth overall.

For me it something amazing that Ukraine team found way how to arrive to China, considering what's going on in their country. But they not just arrived but 7 medals, including 3 gold just in one day. These people have so much strength.

Meanwhile there is good step from IPC as Russian and Belarus athletes banned from Winter Paralympics. Ukraine Paralympics team has so far done an amazing job at the games they are at no 2 with 3 gold. While countries like Norway and Germany are no where to be seen, this tells how much importance they gave to same sports when it comes to Paralympics.

They are the second country with the most medals, behind China. Really incredible! I also didn't have the opportunity to compare it with other editions, to see if this performance is common or not, but given the scenario they are experiencing, it's already a fantastic feat! These crisis situations sometimes become motivating elements for these athletes, who want to do everything to show how strong they are and it's a way to get attention! Strength to all Ukrainian athletes.

The stimulus can be positive or not... On the other hand, it's necessary to think that these athletes have friends and family members fighting against Ukraine or trying to escape from the confrontation, how is it that these athletes are thinking that when they return to their countries they may never find their friends and family again!? This is sad and demotivating! But I'm sure of one thing... in these games the whole world will be rooting for the Ukrainian athletes.

The world really has duel standards that need to be changed. In Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya the USA and west invasion was given false cover of uprooting terrorism and bringing democracy but now same is done to there ally by mighty power of Russia they are chanting slogans "Stop the war". Ukarina finished 7th in PYEONGCHANG 2018 Paralympic Winter with 7 golds. Its not surprising if they are performing good in these winter olympics.

It is true that we can always look at something from different perspectives and see what we want to see in them, however at least for the results we can see so far it seems the Ukrainian delegation is doing everything they can to at least bring a smile or two to the citizens of their country by being able to win so many medals, improving significantly from what we have seen from them on the previous editions of the games.
