GOLD AND SILVER FOR CANADA! Justine and Chloe Dufour-Lapointe go 1-2 in women's moguls!
Pretty cool, 2 sisters on top of an Olympic podium. That doesn't happen very often.

okay
couldn't find anything on the Sochi 2014 website either. Looks like the people who wanna watch something that isn't broadcasted on their tv are screwed.

My eyes are focused on the TV till 23rd Feb.
Unfortunately there is no hope for the medal for Estonia in this year, but it would be awesome, if any of the athletes makes me to eat my words.
Fingers crossed for Kaarel Nurmsalu in today's Ski-jumping event.

Not an awesome day for Norway, as we could have gotten 5 gold medals with maximum luck (Aksel Lund Svindal in downhill, Tora Berger in biathlon, Martin Johnsrud Sundby or Petter Northug jr in cross-country, Silje Norendal in snowboard and Anders Bardal in ski jumping). We had 3 guys in luge as well, but they never had a chance.
Instead, we got 3 bronze medals, which isn't really that bad. Kjetil Jansrud in downhill was a bit of a surprise, as he had a bad injury 11 months ago, and nobody really expected him to be back at this level so fast. Very impressive. In cross-country, a bronze is a bit of a disappointment, as we've been spoiled with great results. Martin Johnsrud Sundby's medal was controversial tho, the Russians feel he blocked Maxim Vylegzhanin on the last meters, and they might have a point. The jury did however not disqualify the Norwegian, which annoyed the Russians even more. I don't know if the last word has been said on this matter yet tho, but I think the bronze is official. Anders Bardal was probably not a favorite for getting a medal, he seemed very pleased with bronze.
Medal count so far:
2 Gold (Marit Bjørgen, Ole Einar Bjørndalen)
1 Silver (Ståle Sandbech)
4 Bronze (Anders Bardal, Heidi Weng, Kjetil Jansrud, Martin Johnsrud Sundby)
