Onderwerp: 2018 Winter Olympics

The Olympiad is a pharmaceutical arms race but without the athlete's talent, you can not win a medal. Everyone takes prohibited substances. All countries know the rules of playing a professional sport.
Even a great nation like the Netherlands...

Doping: In competitive sports, doping is the use of banned athletic performance-enhancing drugs by athletic competitors (also blood doping).

Beating Austria in the Team Event AND the medal table, all is good ;)

Also, who needs Shiffrin?

:P

Rivalry :)


The Netherlands can't do that with neighboring countries. Our southern neighbor is happy with 1 medal, our eastern neighbor is way too large and active in way too many sports to beat in medals.

Also, who needs Shiffrin?

her boyfriend, girlfriend, wife, husband, whatever her orientation and marital status is :P
and if she's somewhat hot, Ijove too :D

Norway, 38 medals! Unbelievable.

Norway 60-70% athletes with "asthma"

Yep, and almost all cyclists. But it's not banned so no doping.

Maybe in future will be banned :) i hope :)

All drugs to perform better should be banned :) The problem is, from what level does someone really need asthma medication. I think all team doctors will say their athletes really do need it, and if not, athletes will find a doctor who does say they need it.

And some stuff on the list of doping is unbelievable, like cannabis. I know no one who is a better athlete after the use of cannabis :P

Nice :)

Did you watch that race? 50km :O

Sure I did! It was just over two hours, not 3 and a half as it used to be. Too bad this was the only morning in weeks when I could’ve slept long but the race started at 7AM.. :)

Wow, watching 2 hours cross country ... well, I guess 200km marathon speeds skating is about the same thing, boring for most people.
