THE C/KOR(E)YS MOVE ON!!! With wins over Estonia and Sweden of Day 5 of competition, the United States mixed doubles curling team has advanced to the semifinals for the first time. www.nbcolympics.com/news/mixed-d...

📌Milano Cortina 2026 showcases sport and venue innovation in most gender-balanced Olympic Winter Games ever www.olympics.com/ioc/news/mil...

I cannot stress this enough: This is the most fun I've had online during an Olympics ever. This rocks, you all rock, and I'm so happy to be here on Bluesky doing all this.

Also, Dom is yoked.

Me: “I need to get to work on this story…” Tiki:

Me to @sickosclub.bsky.social this week: "Get yourself familiar with the German national anthem..." One race in and we're doing it.

After months of trying… We finally convinced Sir Mix-A-Lot — the poet laureate of butts — to join PTFO. And we discover if he (still) cannot lie (cc @sarahspain.com): youtu.be/lkhR5Bafwso?...

Something I really like is that they're still doing the thing where we do the medals immediately after the event, and at the various venues. The big medal presentations at a big plaza looked cool, but then if you're involved in the sport at all you couldn't go see people get their medals.

THE FRUIT NINJA WINS GOLD!! HOLD THAT LUGE HIGH TO SHOW THE FRUIT ON THE BOTTOM.

Just four unbelievable runs

First down the track both days in Run 1 and Run 3 he went out and said, "here you go lads, beat that." Faster and faster every time down the track. Absolutely tremendous performance.

Jawohl!!! Germany's Max Langenhan leads wire to wire and sets the track record in each of his four runs on his way to a decisive Olympic gold medal! He fought a massive neck injury, was the first off in the competition and slid to gold over two days

Jonas Müller is a former world champion, and is now an Olympic medalist in his first career Olympics! Nobody has been as consistent over the last two seasons than Jonas and he's rewarded with no worse than silver in Cortina!

I had breakfast with Dom and Emily this March, and he's just a super good dude. It's VERY hard to be upset about a Dominik Fischnaller Olympic medal. This is likely his final Olympics, so good to see him get another medal here.

Dominik Fischnaller came to these games as Italy's best chance for gold on home ice. He's had three good runs, but just has left a bit out there behind Langenhan and Müller. His final Olympic slide is the fastest of the heat, and Fischnaller is a 2-time Olympic medalist! No worse than bronze!

AND THEY'RE PARTYING AT MISTERS BISKVITS!!! (whew this is a very niche skeet)

That last reskeet: Loch's "disappointing Olympics" are so much different than so many others. He had what we'd consider for him a "bad set of runs" and is in the top six.

I cannot stress how much we all thought Loch was going to contend for his third gold medal. He won in Vancouver and Sochi, then had one catastrophic run in Pyeongchang. Then in Beijing just never really put four full runs together. This one? It's his final one and it just wasn't what we'd hoped.

IT'S MEDAL TIME IN LUGE! The 4th and final run of men's luge kicks off, we'll start with the very young and spry Jozef Ninis and work our way until Max Langenhan either wins gold or goes down trying! 20 sleds for 3 medals, action starts at 12:34 ET! Thread below, live TV on Peacock in the US

Aussie Alex Ferlazzo is about to be the father to twins, we workshopped some names at Zig Zags after the World Cup event in Lake Placid. "Ken" apparently isn't an option Little too much height in 14, we'll see bobsleds hit the roof there in 4-man Slower than Jozef, but his 4 run time puts him 19th

We start with Jozef Ninis in his 6th and final Olympics. He's had an outstanding career, a best finish of 10th came in Sochi. He's clean off the top, a little early into 3 but really good through the 3-4 combo. Beautiful Labyrinth, good height through 15-16 and his 4th run is his best run!

Allow me to introduce you to “Anna Berreiter going through it while she’s in the leader’s box”

That's because Bluesky is the sports app

@cc-is-me.bsky.social Just a heads up, CAS threw out the appeals by Angela Romei in regards to getting onto the Italian curling team

The Ukraine’s coach reaction when Dukach hit the wall was absolute cinema.

Max Langenhan holds a .294 advantage over Jonas Müller going into this fourth and final heat. Dominik Fischnaller is 3rd, .248 back. It's nearly a half second back to Kristers Aparjods, who will need some help to break into the medals here.

We *love* it when someone has a redemption run to finish their Olympics! So happy for Eddy there, just a great slide to finish his Games!

The Germans work with Swtizerland and Argentina, while the Americans work with Australia and Japan. It's kind of one of the things I love about the sport, is the larger nations helping out the smaller ones with coaching and sled tech

A lot of your smaller nations get help from larger ones. Alex Ferlazzo has worked with the American and Canadian federations a lot, and Seiya Kobayashi has worked extensively with the Americans as well. Big trouble late for Seyia, he'll miss the 4th heat.

My dude looks 32 not 22 with the stache 😂

USA will have both of their sliders in the fourth and final heat. Matt Greiner will likely be third or fourth off the top, Jonny Gustafson will be 10th off.

Coming up at 11AM ET we'll have the third run of men's luge from Cortina d'Ampezzo! Max Langenhan leads, Jonas Müller is right in the hunt for gold, Dominik Fischnaller is looking to move up on his home track, there's a bunch of sliders who could sneak onto the podium! Thread here, TV on Peacock

What a disappointing race for Felix Loch. He hits the wall right again at the start. He came into the Olympics as your favorite for gold. He's won more races than any active luger, and more races than anyone this season. But it's just not his Olympics. He's down and holds position in 8th.

Germany's Max Langenhan is going to hold a .294 second lead over Jonas Müller going into the final heat of men's luge. Domninik Fischnaller will go into the final heat in third with a strong chance for his second straight Olympic bronze medal.

Max Langenhan holds a .16 lead over Jonas Müller coming into this heat. He almost hit the wall right at the start, that's mostly because you're TRYING to get to the right off the start, but you obviously want to stay off the wall. Really great slide again for Langenhan, track record! 52.705

At 11:00 AM ET we'll have the third and fourth runs of men's singles luge! Max Langenhan leads Jonas Müller and Dominik Fischnaller, but there's a lot that can happen over these two runs! Kristers Aparjpods is closest to breaking onto the podium Yesterday's race report: www.slidingonice.com?p=13802

One of the places I get my golf shirts from did not get the memo about how it’s going, and is like “hey, maybe you should send that text…”

I already have one. His name is Speedy, he’s a good little friend.

I love when the world at large gets to experience snowboarders

Live look at the glamorous life of an Olympic journalist 🎥: @byalexazzi.bsky.social

Watching the biathlon mixed relay and it's always a little weird watching a sport you watch all the time, but in the Olympics the graphics are all just a little different. Like the same information is there, and it's generally the same presentation, but the colors and fonts are all wrong.

Some extra information on this: The Brits showed up to St. Moritz with these new helmets, that apparently are incorporating some cycling helmet elements. IBSF told them no, there was an appeal to the IBSF appeals board, that was shot down, and now they won't be used in the Olympics either.

I regret to inform you all that both Alessandra Fumagalli and Mattia Gaspari (and everyone else) had to get new headshots for the Olympics. My understanding is that they were not allowed to bring a bow of spaghetti. The spaghetti was classic spaghetti with oil and parmigiano reggiano

okay ive decided, for the US podium outfits: - the jackets are VERY cool but should be louder. theyre on the podium at the Olympics, their outfits should be as obnoxious as possible - it bugs me A LOT that the pants are a different shade of white
