Athletes are usually provisionally banned after a positive A sample. It’s the Russian Federation which have cleared her to compete in the 1st place, which in my opinion they shouldn’t have.

I'm still waiting for the Snowball Fighting event to take place. That would be an epic event.

Really depends on how it gets scored. I imagine like dodgeball? I guess the baseball playing nation would be good at it, USA, Japan, Cuba.

Individual or team. Or six on one like it used to be at school. Bonus events for hitting passers-by or some poor sod on a bike.
Actually not Olympic related but my school used to have an entrance road at the bottom of a hill. One year, a bunch of sixth formers threw a few buckets of water over the road at that corner on a freezing morning and then sat back laughing themselves silly at kids on bikes going flying on the fresh ice. There were bodies everywhere.

No it wasn't!!
The question that is yet to be answered is why the huge delay between the test result and notification - approaching 2 months?!

Great men's curling final, well played both teams.
Tough loss for the young Scots lads.

Yes they played a good match
That shot the Swedish skip made in the penultimate end was superb,when it looked like 2 shots and the gold were odds on.
Now for the women

Awesome achievement and unlucky in the end. The Swedish skipper was immense for them.
Well done lads and good luck to the British women tomorrow. ?

Looked like we were always just behind and hoping for a mistake which never came. Damned fine effort though.
With the exception of the team from USA it seems a pre-requisite of curling is to be very attractive! Bruce and Eve have the most piercing blue eyes...maybe it's all those hours on the ice

Russia unfortunately isn’t banned, it’s just allowed to competent under a different flag. The competitors are still Russian

Wrong! Russia IS banned!
It's the competitors that are allowed to compete under ROC 'flag'! To do so, they have to be Russian. It's Russian athletes that are 'not banned'!
Something of a copout, but the bureaucracy of responsibility/accountability require it that way.
FWIW, 2 Ukrainians have also failed tests!

Semantic, they are Russian, the ROC flag is a made up bit of cloth. They also have a far greater history of using banned substances.

Do you use the same dodgy 'semantic' logic when applying the Rules of Golf?

Not sure what cheating drug takers has to do with the rules of golf. I presume your after the most obscure post of the night award.

If the documentary “Elf” has taught me anything it’s that the North Pole would be favourites for gold in that…
