The ski jumping part of the Nordic combined team event is delayed because of the weather.

Competition resumed and Germany won that leg of the competition.

Watching the skimo. It’s all very quick! Thought there was going to be a lot more mountaineering and skiing…

Switzerland, France and Spain take th medals in that order in the women’s skimo.

Gold for Spain in the men’s skimo event!

I found the Ski Mountaineering slightly underwhelming. Maybe one of the other disciplines of the sport is more interesting than a 3 minute race.

That was the sprint, so I'm guessing there's more in other lengths?

My students and I loved it! We didn't realize what we were watching and thought it was just cross country skiing and then we were like "wait, stairs??? They're not wearing skiis??? What is going on!!!"

We've learned a lot.

(Yes, much math has been learned these last two weeks. Don't judge. )

I didn't know what this was, so to see that it was an abbreviation for ski mountaineering rather than ski mobile was reassuring.

Stolz defeated by Ning in the 1500!

China wins its 3rd gold medal of these games in the men’s 1500m long track. Jordan Stolz wins his 3rd medal of the games! Two gold and one silver at 21 is not bad at all! I believe the U.S. overall has underperformed in speed skating in these games.
