Mixed Relayhttps://www.olympics.com/en/milano-cortina-2026/results/smt/re/x/relay-------------/fnl-/000100--/race-result>13:30 CET - Mixed Relay
time to say goodbye to a sport we'll likely never see in the olympics again
>muh 2 laps>its literally gonna be 1 lap by a girl then 1 lap by a guyhang all IOC skimo organizers
DON'TGETELIMINATED
This discipline is going from strength to strength. It's a shoo-in for Savoie 2030
course is longer
the crying pole is back
Guarantee the ginger American is in a polycule
So this is it. The main event of the Olympics. Who will win the most coveted medal of them all?
old age should be a disability making these paralympians instead
>>153584175me on the left
Both bbc streams showing replays of earlier events instead of this
start gun at exactly 30m pastkino
>>153584198france 2 is showing thisBUTthey have a female commentator
This course is already far better
women lap, male lap, woman lap, male lap, finish
Did they see us clowning on the diamond obstacle course and pulled it?
Now that's climbing
>>153584153should be a bit better I guess. still too many transitions though, and stupid to not start halfway up the mountain, downhills will still be irrelevant
i hope spain wins againlet them have this
>>153584221thats on the second leg
>ANOTHER obstacle that forces them into single file and blocks overtakingAmazing
do they have to put the skins back on
That was fast
skimo is saved
like biathlon but much less cool
>>153584153>mountaineering>actually just stair walking on a barely noticeable hill behind a local village
I know we joked a lot about the sprint event but it is kind of impressive they really did all that shit in 2 and a half minutes. I can barely wipe my ass that fast
Unlike the solo competition it looks like this event isn't decided by who can put on their skis fastest, that's good
>>153584246wouldn't the adhesive be ruined?
: the olympic sport
>>153584259looks like they put them back on
>>153584259they don't reuse the same skins, I'm told
Great first leg from England's brave Emily Harrop
This event looks cringe
Kinda hoping someone falls down the stairs
Our girl is just walking up the stairs, how unathletic are these people
why are the french so good at everything
They should begin with the steps
Spaniard girl choked
Surely they could have skipped that last technical section before the switch
wtf there's another transition stop 10 metres before they tag their partner in?
Holy shit they are fast
that small obstacle course is so embarrassing, it looks like an elementary school field day
Klaebo would win this.
I really dont understand why they dont just place contestants at the bottom of some mountain and then have them climb and ski down. no pre-made path, have drones to film them sometimes
Not supporting France anymore since this competitor isn't British
from +9 at the relay to +18 at the top of the hill
lol this much changing of equipment is such a meme
>>153584315He could have won this during the 50km and still medalled in the 50km
Imagine paying money to watch this shit
>+17s that's an eternity in this sportyet the american stream took a 3 minute ad break for the men lmao
>>153584198Update: Both bbc streams showing replays of THE EXACT SAME EVENT instead of this
>>153584260kek>>153584282same
>have something called "stairs of despair" in your meme eventkinda based in a cringe sort of way desu
The MAIN event of the games
I love how they're forced to put the skis on their back, climb the stairs for 10 seconds then take them out and put them back ontedious ski trip simulator
that drone shot just gave me motion sickness lads
>>153584331who's doing that?>>153584338stop watching NBC
the burger bro has a pool noodle in his backpack so the skis rest in place
>>153584317no idea, it should look like picrel, instead it looks like a mario kart mini game
Is this for the medals?
>transition>10 second ski>transition>5 second walk
Is this any better outside of Olympics?This is a joke.
Our channels switched away from this to show the ceremony in ski cross lmao
>>153584364yeah
>Harop>born in GB>parents born in GB>represent France
The longer course makes this less of a meme than the other day. They should have used the full course.
It's kind of ridiculous that they have to pack up the equipment at the end of a leg
>>153584364yes>>153584368italy placed top two in that so it makes sense
>>153584368our fellas are in first position so we WILL be enjoying this until the end
>>153584368well, fair play to them, your guys did 1-2 in that
>>153584133Hope they actually add normal length races for 2030
>>153584371correction: born in YORKSHIRE
>>153584358a legitimate nbc/peacock stream is farther ahead than a pirate stream.
>>153584366>>153584362
>>153584371England is French clay
>>153584373we don't litter in mountaineering
>New obstacles from the sprintsBased.
>from +9 to +27the swiss girl is SHIT at climbing
>>153584386i never said watch a pirate stream, genius. get a VPN and watch it officially on CBC gem. no ads, no shit commentators
We're going to lap these shitters or what
>>153584374>>153584375It's also because our guys sucks in this relay
Theyre all walking man, what a retarded sport
cool wine aunt: the sport
wooo stair climbing my favourite olympic sport!
they all put the poles down to (((remove skins))) and then stand up to put it into pouch and then crouch back down to pick up poles, in a sport that's all about equipment fiddling
>>153584414>has never watched classic xc skiing
the difference to the sprint is crazy, they look completely exhausted from climbing a few stairs
Finally they are back to stair climbing
>>153584399Norway should probably be DQ'd for that desu
>she dropped her poleoh no no
>>153584414To be fair just the stairs would kill me.
Easy to fix this sport.>Just use the Downhill course.Everyone starts at the bottom and walks up the chairlift path, then hits the course.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFkzVxQU61o
its so fucking funny that they just have regular ass stairs in there
>+27 to +11choke incoming
big mistake there
>>153584414Walking is a fucking summer Olympic sport. This is so much better. Don't know what you alla re bitching about.
>>153584399they have dedicated people who go pick those up
She dropped the pole!
>Burger struggling to walk up the stairsheh
France throw?
top cringe
>>153584442surely they're paid well?
ETOUFFE
FAT TON is a national treasure
USAUSAUSA
emily you 5th columnist traitor bitch how do you give up a 27 seconds lead
>>153584447I'll pick Klaebo's shit for free
Emily took ages putting her skins back for the 50 centimetre walk to finish her leg
Wtf how did the swiss come back like that
spain cheated apparently
Spain DQ. She did her ski thingy out of the sector
Why do they change skis right before the relay point this is so retarded
PENALTY
>>153584447You're not gonna believe this...
Spain will get a penalty
This sport is so fucking retarded.
sPAIN
>>153584464it takes an intellectual to appreciate proper equipment switching
Getting DQ in this event is quite hilarious, bravo Spain
Equipment violations: There are many ways to get a penalty for an equipment violation, including improper storage of racing skins during a race. Any part of an athlete's ski skins protruding through their race suit or backpack is a 10-second penalty in the sprint and relay races. Other types of equipment violations include: Missing equipment or equipment in violation of the rules (one-minute penalty) Skis, bindings or boots not in compliance with the rules (disqualification) Missing Avalanche Victim Detector (DVA), DVA without batteries, helmet incorrectly worn or ski brakes (disqualification) DVA out of order at the finish line (one-minute penalty) Crampon(s) missing in the foot part with crampons (disqualification) Incorrectly fastening skis on the backpack (10-second penalty) Walking without crampons on required sections (disqualification; one-minute penalty if crampons are broken) Ski poles not flat on the ground in the transition area (10-second penalty) Crampons without straps clipped on the ankles (one-minute penalty) Crampons outside the backpack (one-minute penalty)
>>153584457French girl was strug-gul-ing on those final stairs, Swiss was well paced
>>153584461
Surprising amount of people to watch this
He knows she fucked up
whys france have a yellow card
this is millions times better than the sprint
not allowed to have the skins sticking out of your pouch apparentlycan't imagine the penalty for such a serious infraction
Behavior Offenses: There are many different penalties classified as behavioral offenses, including: False start (one-minute penalty) Missing checkpoint (disqualification) Missing a gate on a descent section (one-minute penalty) Disregarding an official's instructions on the track (one-minute penalty) Pushing, shoving or making an athlete fall (disqualification unless involuntary; in that case, only a 15-second penalty) Not assisting a person in distress or danger (one-minute penalty) Receiving illegal outside help (one-minute penalty) Disrespecting the environment (one-minute penalty) Disrespecting or insulting anyone participating in the event (disqualification and further disciplinary review by ISMF) Incorrect maneuver into the transition area (10-second penalty)There are three additional possible penalties during relay races: Incorrect relay handover (defined in the rules) is a one-minute penalty The same athlete racing two legs is a disqualification Pushing outside the handover zone is a one-minute penalty
I like this format.
why did our guy get a yellow card??
not only is this shit boring as hell, but it's also refballed and judged?the worst sport i have ever seenbring back breakdancing FFS
France penalty now too?
>>153584483nobody knows anything in this event
>DID YOU JUST TAKE OUT YOUR SHOES OUTSIDE OF THE TAKING OUT SHOES AREA >DISQUALIFIED
>t. incelmet
>>153584461i think it's a time penulty, not a dq
>>153584487>Not assisting a person in distress or danger (one-minute penalty)?????????
>>153584479Only thing on until curling starts soon
>>153584479Don't they give the tickets for free in these demonstration events ?
>>153584476lmao heaven forbid there's an avalanche on the stairs
>>153584491>complains about judging and refballing>wants another judged and refballed "sport"
Did anyone ever crash in this discipline
they took the yellow card away from France?
LET'S GOOOOOOOO
Great sport not a meme at allWe should bring it back in 2030
Spain Penalty A3: Technical error (+0:03) (Lap 3 - Descent 2)
GOLD FOR GB
the kangaroo pouches are the funniest part of this shit
>Spain third, yellow card>USA fourthSpain about to get REFFED.
>+3s penaltywhat a joke
THAT WAS FUCKING INSANE BROS
>>153584509it was le ironic
There's no way this shit makes it back for 2030 right?
>>153584528the tinfoil hat doesn't protect you from anything.
>>153584519Classic race is the real deal, they should introduce it.At very least, the sprint should be like the relay.
Norway Penalty A3: Technical error (+0:03) (Lap 3 - Descent 2) Australia Penalty C10: Incorrect skins storage (+0:03) (Lap 1 - Ascent 2) C10: Incorrect skins storage (+0:03) (Lap 3 - Ascent 2)
>>153584534Hopefully not in this format
Shouldn’t Spain be dq’d?
>>153584531The question is, how many can you take and still gain time?
>>153584523Rare Italo-French flag in the background.
>>153584540MODS MODS MODS HE DIDN'T STORE HIS SKINS PROPERLY
>>153584534bring back relay, completely destroy the sprint and add some real individual races on a mountain
>>153584534there's a good chance it will since your country got a medal in all three events
How does china even have a team in this
>Australialmao did they fall down the stairs or something?
>>153584534Course issue, really
Go Australia
>>153584534there will be an elevator because stairs are too dangerous
kek is that australia
>>153584487>Disrespecting the environmentBooo! Fuck you, trees! Booooooo!
'skins' sounds gayin polish they call them 'foki' as in 'seals' because they were made from seals skins
It's literally a going-up stairs and changing skis competition
>humiliation ritual
>>153584562China has a lot of BIG mountains you know.Tibetans would win this easily.
The IOC is going to kill Nordic Combined for this shit
>sport with kangaroo pouches>australia dead last
>Announcer hyping up for Australia to arrive based
USA should challenge the penalty
See you on the other side skimo bros
>tfw main character>Humiliation edition
>finishing after the medal ceremony
>>153584586goodadd shooting and jumping to mountaneeiring instead
>>153584577the real name is seal skins but I guess the IOC is too gay to call them that
>>153584577In French it's peau de phoque, seal skinI volunteer to go collect this important material.
>>153584591USA ISSUES CHALLENGE ON SPAIN
>>153584586nordic combined is retarded and why do women not compete in it when they do all the individual disciplines
>>153584540>Incorrect skins storage (+0:03) (Lap 1 - Ascent 2) C10: Incorrect skins storage (+0:03) (Lap 3 - Ascent 2)This is the stupidest crap I've heard lol. Stop that man! He didn't store his skins properly! Mods?!
>Austria or Switzerland not winning the shit out of thisYou just know it's the absolute meme version of the event
>imagine the KINOlympicsIOC are a bunch retarded cowards
>>153584487>Not assisting a person in distress or danger (one-minute penalty)Let someone die get a 1 min pen lmao
>29.4.5. Transition areaA – Athletes must pass through all the transition areas or check points present on the race track.B - Transition area is marked by an entry and an exit line, preferably in blue paint. Lines are considered part ofthe transition area. If another type of limit is used, it must be defined at the TCM.C - The flags used to mark the transition area will be of the colour of the next section (e.g., yellow if it is before afoot part, red if it is before a descent, etc.).D – Athletes must carry out all transition manipulations required inside the transition area. Only removal orattachment of pole connections and engagement of the rear part of the binding can be done outside of thetransition area.E – The entry and exit lines are inside the transition area. The athlete must stay inside the transition area whilehe/she is doing a transition manipulation. It is a penalty if a ski on the ground and attached to the boots crossesthe line or any part of the athlete touches the snow at any location outside of the transition area.F - Prior to starting transition manipulations, ski poles must be placed on the ground, next to the athlete. Theathlete can start his/her transition manipulation when his/her hands are free of poles. It is not allowed throw thepoles before stopping. The ski poles may not be picked up while the athlete is performing the transitionmanipulations until the end of the manipulation. The athlete must pick up the ski poles before leaving thetransition area. The athlete can move the poles during the manipulations to bring them closer.
>+0:03LMAOwhat is even the point of changin in the proper place then? just do it 300m later so you get more descent time
so this wasn't paralympics yet?
>>153584620This applies to when the athlete takes off/puts on skins or crampons, packs/unpacks skins or crampons, unfastens/fastens skisto the backpack.G - The athlete must remain in the same place from the beginning to the end of the transition manipulationsprocedures. However, standard movements necessary to carry out the manipulation are allowed.H - The athlete must pick up both poles at the end of the transition manipulation. If, unfortunately, another athleteinterferes with his/her pole(s), or if one/both pole(s) is/are broken, the athlete can continue without one/bothpole(s).I – Special situation: If an athlete encounters a problem with their equipment (unclipped toe piece, unlocked boot,etc.) the athlete can correct the deficiency. If any part of the athlete’s skis is within a transition area, poles mustbe placed on the ground before correcting the deficiency. If the athlete’s skis are completely outside of transitionarea, the deficiency can be corrected without placing poles on the ground.
>>153584620>D – Athletes must carry out all transition manipulations required inside the transition area. Only removal orattachment of pole connections and engagement of the rear part of the binding can be done outside of thetransition area.Sounds like a Spain DQ
>>153584534Youre hosting it and you won gold, it will stay
>>153584610It's very rare for a nordic combined athlete to be good enough to participate in regular ski jumping. No cross country ski specialist does ski jumping as well.
>>153584479look how many people watched the breaking in 2024 - it's the Olympics, people would buy a ticket to competitive shitting just to say they'd been.
After never seeing this sport before the olympics I think sprints for relays is good, needs a more interesting courseThe individual events should be a long death march that kills at least 30% of the field
>>153584639What's up with the banana costumes?
>>153584675fortnite enjoyers
>>153584658Both breaking and mountaineering are not meme sportsMountaineering especially in its TRUE form is one of the most deserving sports to be in the Winter Olympics. Certainly above shit like curling, ice dance or ski jump
>>153584681Curling is an elite 150 IQ sport actually
>>153584658You are comparing a 10 mil metropoly to a village in the alps
>>153584711>USA is challenging the penaltylegit or making up?
>>153584695>muh 150iq It's a solved sport that's basically a combination of darts and checkers. Requires a minimum amount of athleticism, imagine calling yourself a curling "athlete" lmao
>>153584734>darts and checkersWhat about part snooker?
>>153584712yeah sorry I forgot you don't have cars in Italy
>>153584734Incorrect on all counts
Why are people so buttfrustrated with ski jumping?
>caring enough about this "sport" to challenge a penalty
>>153584756Sure, snooker too.>>153584760How so? Feel free to disprove, picrelated are "Olympic athletes" kek
Curling is just pétanque on ice
>>153584792Forgot pic >>153584781Not frustrated, it's just pretty memey and convoluted. Also retarded enough to be unironically judged
>>153584675The french girl uses to have her fans following here around in banana costumes, seems to be like a tradition.
>>153584757we can still make cars, unlike brits
Initial Spain penalty was "A3: Minor technical error, involuntary negligence" 3 seconds.USA is challenging the penalty.I think even with stacking there isn't enough time. All the equipment ones are 3 seconds in relay. The biggest one is wrong locomotion which is 30 seconds. So robbed because all the Relay penalties are massively reduced. Results stand.
>>153584695It's a hobby, not a sport
https://ismf-ski.com/ismf/sport-governance/sport-rules/starting at page 111
>>153584807It's pretty simple, really. The wind and starting ramp compensation were added to make the competitions much quicker. The actual judging is easy to understand as well and almost an afterthought, regardless.
>>153584792Its immediately more of a sport than anything that's judgedIt's also more complex than 'go fast'The sweeping actually takes a fair bit of energy, you have to put your full body weight on it to scar the ice.
>>153584734>It's a solved sportwow, you're rightthey solved 100m sprint toojust run fast, EZ
>>153584611Americans would never have this problem
>>153584899Yeah bro, you need to be in peak body shape to sweep le ice hard >>153584807
>>153584800Why are we so bad at this then?
Is there a picture of what spain did wrong?
>>153584904It was more of a counterargument to the "it's le chess on ice" phrase some retard like to spout about curling
why don't they let me to be in charge of olympics, I would make them great
>>153584927Because we play pétanque not the meme version on ice VPNbro
>>153584928during lady 2nd lap she does the transition Ski -> Skin outside the area, instead doing it in the Handover.
>>153584880I'm not saying it's super complex, my two main issues is that you're unironically judged on "style" while jumping and also muh perfect landing. Who gives a fucking shit, just make it so it counts if you land on both feet and your body doesn't touch the ground or you crash. Also the compensation is also apparently decided at will, as well as the start times regarding conditions, which was seen recently.
>>153584986Thanks. Found it >>153584494.Looked a bit odd live but didn't register that the line was the end of the transition zone.In a normal sport that's a disqualification. At the very least a bigger penalty than having your wraps sticking out of your pouch.
>>153585036You're just desperate for an 11th place finish
>>153584807me on the right
>>153585001I don't mind the landing bit and encouraging the jumpers to do a clean perormance. It's also largely a safety issue: taking away judging would mean that the jumpers would have to take massive risks to be able to compete.
>>153584959I have called my friends in Lausanne, the entire committee stepped down and put you in charge anon.
>>153584927Because we don't play curling at all, it costs a fortune and you can't play in your backyard with your buddies.
>>153584854It's a sport by definition.
>>153585169Yeah darts too, have you seen what they look like ?
>>153584288why just like skiing and shooting at things, and also skiing in stairs
