The Ledecka story. Olympics are supposed to be where dreams are made and her Longshot dream (in one event at least) became a reality.

In terms of favorite US memory, the woman's hockey gold.

 

[Albatros]

Ledecká for sure, but also Niskanen, Germany in hockey, the Netherlands in short track, Klæbo dominating the sprints...

 

[Ivan13]

A guy who clearly lost the race making the final ahead of a guy who clearly won the race.

 

[Filppula]

A whole list of memorable moments.

Men’s hockey gold medal match because it surpassed all my expectations. That final period was absolutely crazy with the lead changes, late heroics, the tension.

Fourcade's three golds...the mass start amazing finish and his awesome effort to drag France over the line in the mixed relay.

Kruger’s 30km skiathlon gold. Loved his breakaway from the pack and ability to hold on. Same with Kalla and her skiathlon win which gave her golds at three consecutive Olympics, an incredible achievement.

McMorris' amazing gold medal run. Absolutely flawless when the pressure was at its highest.

Everything about Medvedeva as I really loved her routines and was so disappointed she didn’t win gold. Her reaction when her score came up, realising she just fell short was pretty heartbreaking.

And so many more.

Elise Christie making it a magnificent 6/6 for making a complete arse of it at the Olympics.

 

[shoeshine boy]

JLam's SO goal. that may be one of the best moves I've seen ever. Daoust's "Forsberg" move is a close second. takes some stones to pull that off in that situation.

 

[Fighter]

Ledecka double gold.

Arianna Fontana's triplet.

 

[Eisen]

Germany bumbling away their lead in the last minutes of the game on a powerplay (yes, I am happy about the Silver, but how they lost it will haunt me for some time. aaaargh)
Jamanka/Buckwitz
Ledecka
Giant drone swarm forming the Olympic rings and Inmyeonjo (and that this time they didn't burn pigeons like in Seoul)
Nordic Combined big hill
Björgen becoming immortal

 

[Havre]

Bjørgen was crazy. Almost unfortunate that she won with such a margin - it seemed so easy I'm not sure if people not that familiar with cross country understand how sensational that race was. Obviously that she became the most decorated winter olympian of all times made it even more special.

500m speed skating was unreal. One of the few events in the winter olympics which has some sort of "global appeal". An event Norway usually can't compete in.

Obviously loved Ledecka.

Sweden winning the biathlon relay for men. Hated that the Norwegians lost it, but so much respect to the Swedish team for that performance.

 

[Asiantuntija]

King Niskanen dominating 50 km.

Anna "clutch" Gasser at Big Air.

Krista Pärmäkoski draw with Björgen.

 

[Jack Straw]

1. Diggins
2. German men's hockey
3. US women's hockey
4. Bjoergen obliterating the field in the 30k

US Curling Gold.

It kind of saddens me to see that Diggins seem to get all the recognition and Kikkan Randall none. Kikkan was the big overachiever here. I think most people thought she would leave Diggins so far behind that she wouldn't have a chance to bring home the gold. What Diggins did was impressive, but not super unexpected over a sprint x3. She's a good sprinter and good at distance races while Nilsson and Falla (those are the two she battled with) are elite sprinters but not as good as Diggins when in comes to distance races, and this was kind of a hybrid between sprint and distance.

For me personally the biggest moment I'll take with me is Kalla taking home the first gold medal of these Olympic games to Sweden. Fantastic start to the Olympics for the Swedes

The biggest thing not involving my country probably was Björgen winning the 30km. What an athlete and what a career that women has had, just amazing!
