Sochi 2014: What to watch, Day 11 (February 18)
So, I'm cruising through archives, trying to see if any women's curling team had ever had a perfect record at the Olympics (they hadn't) and know what I stumbled upon? Two things. First, a cool collection of photos from the first Winter Olympics, in 1924. Second, a passage that said the great Sonje Henie took part in the women's figure skating competition that year. She was eleven years old. Eleven! Sure, she finished last but she went on to win gold in the next three Olympics. When I was eleven, I eagerly awaited the Montreal Olympics but failed to qualify in anything other than watching them on my parents' Zenith floor console T.V. set.
By the way, if you like that photo from the 1924 Games, you can download the official PDF report from Chamonix, complete with photos, diagrams and descriptions (in French), by clicking here.
Here's what's up on Day 11 at the Olympics and where you can see it (Sochi Seinfeld is at the bottom of the page):
So, they postponed the men's snowboard cross due to fog, on Day 10. And I'm thinking "but it'd only be even better if the competitors can't see each other!" Whatever, I'm no expert. You can see it on Day 11, at 1:30 am ET, on CBC. The men's 15 k biathlon was postponed due to fog as well and, yeah, that seems like a good idea. Firing rifles in low visibility would be a bit of a gamble. 5:30 am ET, on Sportsnet One.
Got a tie-breaker happening in curling on Tuesday, men's division. Great Britain and Norway go head to head for the chance to take on Sweden in a semi-final. Should be intense, although a broom-swinging brawl isn't likely. But one can dream. Both these teams have been a little wobbly the last few days. The Norwegians' excuse might be questions as to whether their wacky pants were actually legal. Midnight ET, on Sportsnet One.
Canada gets a breather in men's hockey due to their win over Finland on the weekend. Teams that don't get byes have to slug it out on Day 11 in order to move on. The Czech Republic takes on Slovakia in one elimination game. See? Wasn't it better when the two of you pooled your resources as Czechoslovakia? Other than that whole totalitarian communist hassle.... Noon ET, on CBC.
Elsewhere, Russia has to play one of those elimination game things, partly because they lost the greatest shootout in Olympic hockey history to T.J. Oshie on Saturday. That and a weak performance against Slovakia. Wouldn't want to be in their expensive, high-tech skate boots if they lose to Norway and Vladimir Putin is in attendance. Of course, there's little chance they'll lose here. Riiiiight? 7:30 am ET, on CBC.
Back to the speedskating oval we go and the least dramatic events of the games continue despite the superb, enthusiastic calls of Steve Armitage. That's because THE DUTCH ARE WINNING EVERYTHING. They've won 16 medals out of a possible 24, in 8 events. They're so dominant, that in the time it took me to write that they'd won 16 medals, they won two more. And in the time it took me to write that sentence, another one. And in the time.... The men's 10,000 metre final goes at 8 am ET, on TSN. The favourite, Bob De Jong is Dutch, sure. BUT apparently he's got tough competition from two other contenders, so perhaps somebody else will win here. Excuse me, I'm being handed a note... it says... the other two contenders are... oh for God's sake, they're Dutch as well.
Canada's Kaillie Humphries and Heather Moyse are defending Olympic champions in women's bobsleigh. I'll just bet these two were dynamite on their Krazy Karpets as kids. 10 am ET, on TSN.
Let's check the Russian TV Guide, now, for details on tonight's episode of Sochi Seinfeld, on 3CP1:
"Jerry is banned from a local vodka retailer. Kramer drops a Junior Mint on the speed skating oval just before a Canadian competitor falls. Elaine must write a J. Peterman story about a Russian doll that was purportedly owned by Ivan Pavlov. George smuggles a marble rye into the ice dance venue."
