Ski mountaineering update: I am obsessed now with the rules - when you change between stages the poles need to lay on the ground - otherwise time penalty. Also apparently there is a penalty when these covers for skis they take off before downhill (I don't know english word for them) are not fully hidden in that pocket on their front. 😅 what is this sport, I love it.

I’m surprised the next Winter Olympics is France, I thought they liked to move it round the continents a bit more

I’m really confused when they rip off the tape from the skis before the downhill section, because it looks like the tape is on top of the ski?

Edit: I’ve seen a close up of the skis and it looks like the tape is on the bottom, which makes a lot more sense!

They're called skins.

Ski mountaineering is a nice addition to the games but I think the race needs to be longer as there wasn't much in way of opportunities for overtaking from the heats I saw.

What is a MUST catch up or rewatch?
I missed alot of the figure skating & I missed mens big air last night. Any suggestions?

Yes, I think it's too short as well. It should be more on a par with cross country.

Absolutely, I loved it but it seemed so short compared to ski cross or biathlon and it made it look less serious while it isn't.

Just checked 3rd place match in women's hockey and I was lucky to tune in just for overtime, it looked so cool
