Mikaela Shiffrin is having a rough Olympics . Not sure what the problem is but for someone of her ability to ski out in two straight events is very strange . Sad to see her struggle but that's life in the public eye.

Brutal officiating in the women's short track event.
https://nationalpost.com/sports/olympics/bad-call-fans-theorize-chinese-speed-skater-tripped-canadian Watching the replay a few times, The skater from China flips the marker puck forward towards the Canadian woman ahead. Maybe the officials didn't have the view that shows this quite clearly.

On a similar note Chloe Kim said she took time off and went to Princeton and that the time away helped her refocus on her sport.

Also someone on the ROC skating team has failed a drug test . No details have been provided but the medal ceremony has been postponed until the matter is resolved .

It almost looked as if the snow gave out under Mikaela on that one gate. Not much you can do when that happens. They didn't show it, but while she was sitting there in the snow it looked like they might have been rebuilding the track snow for that gate she had the miscue on.
Edited. Scott, there is a thread in PARF to express the thoughts on Wu, that while I am flummoxed as well, belong there. Best

I don't think the snow is the problem with our star skier - and I hope she rallies for the last few events. And don't knock manmade snow! That's how some of us learned, white "stuff" out of hoses on top of some landfill in Michigan. Twice a week, after school until 10pm under the lights for $6/day in 1985. I do prefer Wolf Creek CO now however...

Hmmm ......... the Russian skater that failed the drug test is the 15 year old female phenom . It's being reported that the Russians are saying she is taking a heart medicine not a performance enhancing drug .
The IOC is saying it is considered a performance enhancing drug and rumors are the Russians will be stripped of the gold medal and it will go to the Americans . Additional confusion in the rules because she is a minor is who will be held responsible because she is not an adult . What a mess ! I tried to post the story link but my phone is not playing nice 😋 |

Apparently the drug in question is Trimetazidine:
..."Trimetazidine is on the banned substances list in athletics by the World Anti-Doping Agency. In 2014, Chinese Olympic champion swimmer Sun Yang tested positive to Trimetazidine, which had been newly banned four months earlier and classified as a prohibited stimulant at the time by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). Sun was consequently banned by the Chinese Swimming Association for 3 months. In January 2015, WADA reclassified and downgraded trimetazidine from "stimulant" to "modulator of cardiac metabolism."[5][6] As of January 1, 2022, trimetazidine is listed as a "metabolic modulator" prohibited at all times, "in- and out-of-competition."[7]"...
