nah he was 4th. 2nd and 3rd place went to japan, then white and 5th to another swiss.

The swiss pretty much won this with his self invented YOLO trick (yes, that's its name lol, You Only Live Once). Shaun had to copy it (only those 2 can do that jump currently), but he missed the landing, so he lost like 4 points (sat in the snow) and was even lucky not to fall at the end.

Just glad to see snowboarding is coming back to switzerland Smile

Quote:
In winter months, skating is a sensible form of transportation, as commuters skate along frozen canals to visit family or friends who live many villages away. Much of the country sits below sea level, so it’s frequently not a particularly arduous journey to travel by skates.

The Dutch begin wearing skates as toddlers, so for some, skating is as common as walking. Some travel for hours and hours on their skates and see nothing strange about it.

Hajima’s father, Hotze, said he once skated 230 kilometers (142 miles) at the age of 29. He didn’t seem to be boasting about it, just making the case that there was an occasion when it was necessary.

Poker Face LOL Rage Aww Yeah Okay Failed Troll Reaction Are You Serious I Am Disappoint Mind Is Full Of Fuck Scratch Head Laughing

Just what exactly do these American channels and sites think our country is like? Are they really so goddamn retarded that they think we walk on clogs, have windmills every 50 meters, do nothing but eat cheese and smoke weed while we grow tulips unless we go ice skating for a couple hundred km to do one of our drug runs?

Sure, there are people who do skate long distances, but that's for leisure, not fucking transportation and by the sound of it, they interviewed the two dumbest people they could find in our country.

Fuck all your silly sports with wooden planks, sticks and what not, because oops, we did it again Laughing

Fuck knows what got into our speed skaters this year, but they're kicking some serious ass Very Happy

Gone is your 2nd place Sev, that's ours again now. We're at 17 medals in total now (5 gold, 5 silver, 7 bronze), that's just nuts for a country as small as ours. And most of it from a single sport.

Yeah, our skaters did amazingly well so far. Of the 10 male skaters we've got competing in the speed skating, only 1 has not gotten a medal. Completely owned 3 out of 5 events. The women are not *as* dominant, but are still doing very well indeed - we've got 19 out of 27 medals total and set 3 new Olympic records. 3 women competing in the 5K too and we've still got both team pursuit races to go Smile

Still got a chance on the shorttrack too, both male and female.

The only other two sports we compete in are the bobsleighs and the snowboarding and that isn't great so far, although the women are currently in 6th in the 2-man bob I think. So they can still move up in the final 2 heats Smile

Yeah, Canada will need to shape up fast if they have any hopes of getting any medal, let alone gold.

But at least Russia's out. Very Happy
