Unusual situation in dual moguls where both skiers made serious mistakes. But the one who finished with a fall was deemed the winner.

Norway win the women’s cross country relay. Sweden and Finland complete the Nordic party.

And there’s nothing like a stadium full of crazed Nordic fans screaming Sweet Caroline at the top of their lungs.
And watching 12 talented cross country skiers trying to walk through the slush to the medal stand is a trip, literally.

It’s Carnaval Saturday, people should be out on the streets partying, and they’re reporting something in the range of over half a million people watching alpine skiing here, in the height of summer.
Dude got his dream of winning his way and becoming a national hero.
There are times when being Brazilian is pretty cool.

One thing I found really cool is that they played at the venue after Pinheiro-Braathen’s run the song that was played on TV whenever Ayrton Senna would win a F1 race (they would later play it whenever any Brazilian driver would win a race).
It became something of a general victory theme for when someone accomplished anything.
It was a nice touch.
Aaaand it’s official!
