Germany is the favourite. but with performances like those against the USA and Latvia, the match against France will not be easy.
we will know more on Tuesday after the match against France. either the quarter-finals await or the journey home for Germany.
For me it's difficult to expect upsets tomorrow. Maybe only Denmark can give some fight for Czechia, but in general, I don't have questions about winners. Offcourse, there won't be double digit results like in USA or Canada games.
Now watched women semifinal between Sweden and USA and what I can say - just send USA and Canada straight to the final without any fight because it's just different level
Did you see the scene after her race, when her rivals bowed to her and congratulated her?
Truly a true Olympic spirit and an example to young people of how to respect their rivals in sport.
I guess it's quite common thing in Olympics. Watched men slalom today and weather conditions was so bad - heavy snow, no visibility that only 44 from 96 athletes managed to finish. Some were 15-25 seconds behind leader as their only goal was to reach finish somehow.
While on second round weather conditions improved, but Atle Lie McGrath' who was leading after first round failed to reach finish.
His reaction and frustration is understandable:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvp20ZtOPycYes, I watched it live and I can understand how frustrating it is.
You wait 4 years for your Olympic appearance, you're leading after your first race, you're close to an Olympic gold medal and eternal glory and then you make a mistake and you lose everything.
When McGrath threw his skis over the fence and walked off the track in anger and frustration, I could really understand and sympathize with him.
You can't see so much emotion anywhere else than at the Olympics.
Did you watch the figure skating yesterday? So much emotion and great performances and the Japanese mixed pair were truly perfect.
