The Official 2014 Winter Olympics Thread

[Unkotare]

There are lots of angry Korean skating fans today, and Korean folks are very good at being angry.

Just figure skating you say? I would tend to agree. But there are some people out there literally losing their shit over this.

Ha Ha. Ashley Wagner stole the U.S. figure skating spot, when she fell two times in the qualifying for the Olympics. She took the spot from another U.S. skater that came in third. Ashley came in fourth. And now she is complaining that the Russian that got the gold fell twice, and she was cheated. What a whining bitch. What goes around comes around.

Nagasu did get robbed of her spot.

It seems the 'sport' of figure skating is more fixed than pro wrestling and old school boxing combined.

The one thing I've noted while viewing the Olympics is the limitations placed on what they can show. Every once in a while, they slip up and you can see small audiences and stadia with lots of empty seats.

We also don't see the athletes complaining about how poor the snow is for the skiing and snowboarding events. Because of condition, there've been far too many accidents and too many of those have been serious.

It will be interesting to read and listen to what is said about these games AFTER the closing ceremony.

After the closing ceremony (maybe mere hours after) Russian forces will be rolling into the Ukraine, so that will probably be talked about more.

Canada is going 4 for 4.

The women have won gold in hockey and curling, so they've done their part. The men won gold in curling. Now, the men have to do their part by beating Sweden Sunday morning.

Go Canada!

I'm liking what I see. But I'm not a fan of NBC's watered down coverage.

yea really, I was thinking the same thing. then that douchebag bob costas has to go and make his political statements tonight. they should fire his buggy eyed ass

 

[Spoonman]

you have to give credit to the Russian engineers. with their innovative designs they have made it very convenient to borrow some toilet paper if your dispenser happens to run out

But if you go with your pants up, you're going to need more than toilet paper.

Everytime I turn it on, it's hockey. I'm so tired of it.

 

[Toro]

There can never be too much hockey.

I always see spoiler after spoiler online and I have no desire to watch NBC's 'primetime.' NBC needs to get with the f'ing times and put stuff on demand online right after it occurs. They're such f'ing morons.

Let me know how it goes, I am finding the Olympics, winter and summer less interesting every time they compete.

Not sure why, anyone else feel this way?

Could it be because the US isn't winning everything? I've heard that Americans only like watching sports which they always win because nobody else plays like baseball and what you call football.

Go Canada!

Go Sweden! (Me)

Go Canada! (Three of my grandchildren).

I'm in a win/win situation.
