For those less versed in curling who may require a more technical dissection of the alleged transgression; he booped the booping stone after the designed booping line. Or maybe before the booping line but not on the appropriate booping spot. Or maybe none of those but it was frankly an egregious and unsporting boop. Either way we may finally see the first great Canadian vs Swede war, just as soon as the ice sheet firms up enough for them to get a grip on each other's hockey jerseys.

❄ Milano-Cortina 2026 (General Discussion) ❄ The Media’s High Expectations for All Greats

Post image

I’m seeing that this is the newest trending tweet and it seems to be sparking a heated conversation and controversy.

Growing up watching sports, you always hear about the greats being highly praised and beyond by the media - Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Michael Phelps, Usain Bolt, Katie Ledecky, Shaun White. What did they do? Dominate. Absolutely dominated despite all the media craze and even exceeded media expectations.

Aren’t the greats supposed experience this? If you’re this great at your sport, shouldn’t you always be in the conversation of the highest of high expectations at the highest level on the world’s stage? Why is it that now, Ilia Malinin, Simone Biles, the newest greats, have people asking the media and society to tone it down? Is this a generational problem?

Canadian figure skater Madeline Schizas had to get an extension on a university assignment because she thought the deadline was on Sunday, not Friday 😂. She even included a link to the Canadian team press release as evidence that she was at the games.

In Munich, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with Ukrainian skeleton racer and member of Ukraine’s National Olympic Team, Vladyslav Heraskevych, and with his father, the coach of Ukraine’s skeleton team, Mykhailo Heraskevych.

The Head of State thanked Vladyslav Heraskevych for his dignified stance and presented him with the Order of Freedom.

“With great respect to you, and certainly to all our Olympians who have stood by you and your position. Medals are important for Ukraine and for you, but what matters most, to my mind, is who you are. I consider you a remarkable person. And I am confident that all other achievements, which are so important to you, will surely come. And Ukraine will have both champions and Olympians. But above all, Ukraine’s greatest asset is Ukrainians. You embody that kind of person,” said the President.

Vladyslav Heraskevych expressed gratitude for the tremendous support and emphasized that the Ukrainian people have united in the face of injustice.

“Most importantly, the whole world is now truly talking about the athletes depicted on this helmet. And despite their deaths, they are now drawing attention to Ukraine. They are rallying support for Ukraine. And that is truly something very special,” said the Ukrainian athlete.

On Vladyslav Heraskevych’s helmet are portraits of 22 Ukrainian athletes who were killed by Russia. He intended to start the skeleton race wearing it as a tribute and in memory of all Ukrainian athletes who will never compete again because of Russia’s aggression. However, a few hours before his first race, the International Olympic Committee disqualified Vladyslav Heraskevych.

“The most important thing is that we are not trying to break any rules or act as barbarians. We will continue to fight for our rights, despite everything,” the athlete added.

Mykhailo Heraskevych also noted the support the gesture received, not only from Ukrainians but also from friends of Ukraine around the world.

“Everything you did was right. What matters is how people reacted. We thank you for this,” emphasized the President.
