just an idea from the top of my head, prompted by the extremely close results of the Ladies Super G: Jensen, having his comeback season after a nasty injury, beating all the other favorites and looks as the big winner (which would be his second gold medal in the Super G after his win 2014 in Sotchi) - until Jared, an up-and-rising star in the US team, goes on the slope, and beats him with only 1/100 of a second between them.
And in real terms, I'm so happy about what some of our Austrian athletes have accomplished, especially the sleigh riders (?) like David Gleischer, who grabbed the very first medal for Austria in these games (and that in Gold, which no one expected at all. And of course, in what probably are his last Olympic Games, the extremely fine races of one Marcel Hirscher in Alpine Combination and Giant Slalom (keep my fingers crossed for the Slalom).

Thanks for sharing, and for giving me a reason to root for Austria too! I'll be watching!
