Posts from The 2010 Vancouver Olympics! Auto-translated

it seems like this Olympics wasn't very successful... but I still think we should support our team!

Evgeny Ustyugov became the biathlon hero, winning GOLD in the mass start.

Yesterday I watched, and it was amazing how he accelerated so much after the last shooting, he wasn't that fast at the beginning of the distance. Where does he get his strength from? :) He finished about 15 seconds ahead of everyone else.

Russia vs. Canada in the quarterfinals – that’s the question.

The question is: Russia vs. Canada in the quarterfinals.

Yes, the Playoffs... it's the toughest, and facing the hosts in the quarterfinals... it will be difficult...

So, tonight, both in the men's team sprint and in the women's team sprint, our compatriots won bronze medals.
The women ran first. 6 legs for 2 skiers alternately were a difficult test. Our skiers started well and, from the very beginning to the end, practically maintained the pace, taking 5th place on each new lap, then 6th, then again 5th, then 4th... and in the end, they broke through to third place. Irina Khazova and Natalia Korostelyova won BRONZE
The men had the same result. Their race was more varied, as our men started first, but then the gap reached 7th position... But since almost everyone was close to each other for a long time, no one immediately dared to say what the chances were for whom. The French, who led for some time after falling behind, got confused and fell; the USA and Canada also fell behind in the final, and only 2 tenths of a second prevented our skier Petukhov from overtaking the German. Nikolai Morilov and Alexey Petukhov thus received BRONZE
And after I "left" the TV, it turned out that our figure skaters also took third place in the ice dancing competition. Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin received BRONZE

Oh, the name of the bronze award sounds too often today, but the results speak for themselves - against the backdrop of the general bad luck of our athletes during the entire Vancouver Olympics, our pairs are showing the best results. And this proves some theories that "One is not a warrior in the field, but two can move mountains!":)

Made me smile...

platinum - Platinum - Evgeni Plushenko - King of Ice
