Some of the best biathlon competitors in the world who shot cleanly and ski'd fast are still a minute behind some random french scrub who started earlier. The NBC expert said the competition was over as soon as the snow started to fall, and it looks like he's right.
You would think they could come up with a way to remedy that. Kind of crappy that winner gets decided by the pecking order with the weather.

When you start 80 something people at 30 second intervals, there's not a whole lot you can do. Tis part of life.

Yeah, I know. Doesn't make it any better though. I guess if you are a lower tier competitor you are praying for a day like today.

Its probably kind of rare. The whole thing lasts only about an hour, if the weather goes to hell in the first 5 minutes or in the last 10 or so minutes, it doesnt mean much. If its light snow, its no big deal. If its rain, it actually helps the late competitors, but it was heavy snow, and it happened at exactly the wrong time to completely screw over most of the field.

This also sets up the seeding for the pursuit. All those strong heavily-favored guys are gonna start out 2 or 3 minutes behind that french dude. At least the USA got really lucky with one guy who went early and shot clean, we'll have one guy in 2 days who only starts a minute behind. The pursuit also has 4 shooting stages, with a potential for 20 penalties, so if those first 4 guys dont shoot clean, the guys 1-2 minutes back can still catch up.

cool. We had 3 inches of snow today and I need to shovel it sometime.

I'm fine with watching a little bit of figure skating when its a medal round, but they are just doing qualifications today.

speaking of figure skating, this is gonna be kind of a weird year, and it'll be interesting to see the US TV audience for it. We usually have a strong women's team and next to nothing for men. Apparently this year is bizarro-world olympics for the USA, our women's figure skating completely sucks and has almost no potential for a medal. For men's figure skating, I guess we have one of the strongest teams in US history with 2 or 3 having a strong chance to medal.

Some guys will put up with watching a few cute girls in skirts jumping around, but how many are going to watch a few (probably gay) men in tights? Will the women tune in for that?

I guess we also have a couple dominant teams for ice dancing, so it'll also be interesting to see how many tune in to watch a few couples grope and make out on the ice for medals.

Just looked at the scores for hockey. Apparently Canada's women set an olympic record, destroying Slovakia 18-0.

Who the hell was the goalkeeper? I've never skated in my life, and I think I might have allowed fewer goals than 18.

WTH are we now rubbing a gold medal into the noses of the Canadians when instead we could be watching real live action?

NBC sucks.

ABC, CBS, or Fox need to outbid NBC. This piece of crap network cant do anything right.

I can understand delays and some games with programming when its on the other side of the world, but there is no damned excuse for not showing more live events from Canada.

Yeah, women's hockey seems to be rather lopsided. Can't wait for the men's games. Should be very good.
