I prefer the summer olympics

Equestrian events are my thing

I can't get over the moguls (literally). I went down a moguls hill with downhill skis cuz I'm an idiot. To think of people training on short skis how many hours a day? Going down those insane bumps? Jesus Murphy.

And I think Italy won it useing forks. :(

Is that a weakness in the US curling team? We need it. A Newf is leading the Canuck men. A Newf with a mom going through chemo right now! I'm hoping the other teams forget to show up to allow a NEWF to win an Olympic Gold especially under such heartbreaking circumstances!

They should win easily. I know one Newfie that knows how to use a broom.

I haven't skied in five or six winters, and used to love the moguls. It was rough on the back and knees but fun. Made for really good wipe-outs too. :D

But those dudes go really fast and when they fly up in the air...they only look out of control! lmfao

That's too funny :D

I wonder why we even sent a team to Italy! Aside from the young lady that nearly broke her back practicing for the downhill and then competing a couple days later, there really isn't anything to catch my excitement yet

But my girl let me down! Uschi Disl place only 13th in the Women's 15km individual biathlon the other day. And I was away from the house all day, so I didn't get to check the results of Thursday's event.

Canada scored four medals today! Outstanding!

Lovin' the winter over the summer olympics the best I think.
REALLY facinated by the "skeleton" style luge they're doing........talk about your dangerous sport! :eek:
Those women who do it are brave......but I wonder if they have breast protection or some sort of body armour under their clothing? :p

The skeleton, the luge and snowboarding are the ones we keep discussing in class the most. I saw the ladies skeleton last night and the one lady announced she was 2 months pregnant. They run and flop down, I was nervous for her.

Two months pregnant!?!?! :eek:

I often question the parents of these athletes. I can't imagine letting my kid jump on a luge!

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck! Fucking hate shootouts! Stupid fucking way to decide a team game.

Sweedish Women get to play for the gold medal, US Women will play for bronze, all due to the fucked rules of the IIHF.

Amen!!!! :mad: Fuckin' blows

I was glued to the tv last night in watching the snowboarding. Now THAT looks like fun!

Wish I wasn't so damned old! ha ha

Imagine bein' the little babe inside!!! :eek:

All I can think is What. A. Rush!! :p

snowboarding's my fave. the half-pipe especially

make's me wanna play coolboarders2 ... er ... too

What the heck was the event I saw last night...the one where they were on snowboards but in a pack like a race instead of the one-man-down-at-a-time thing? I've never seen anything like that before!

snowboard cross, RG. first time at the olympics

And it was WICKED cool!

It really was wasn't it? Looked like a LOT of fun!!

duuuude....

OMG!!! I just realized what was missing!







None of them were using iPods! :D

ROTFLMAO I KNOWWWWWWW there's just this personna that goes with the snowboarding isn't there?!?!

DUuuuude!!

I keep joking that I have NO idea how these guys pass their drug tests. :p

I am so glad I didn't see the young lady fall while acting up during the snowboard contest and blow the gold medal.....Seems to me that the Olympics just don't mean the same as they used to

Someone please bring back the athletes of my youth!

Same here...I guess Visa will have to shit can all those Gold Medal commercials now that Lindsey made an ass out of herself.

Like Pete Rose?????? :D

It's NHL rules now, too. It makes for a more dramatic end but it sucks if your team loses. That was a huge shocker yesterday!

It's not just that "my" team lost (and I will admit, as far as Ice Hockey goes, I *am* pulling for the US team heavily). It's just that, win or lose, to have an event which is meant to be a team effort decided by smething so arbitrary is aanoying. It sucks in soccer, it sucks in the NHL, and it sucks in the IIHF.


I mean, yes, the NHL in it's how-many-year history had a very few games go into four or five overtimes. But in the end, the games were decided by team endurance and team effort. Hockey is meant to be a large amount of physical effort. Let them play, don't have this stupid, arbitrary "we" suddenly get luckier than "they" do decision. If you're going to do that, why play the game in the first place?

Good points, gekko.

Canada men are losing 2-0 to the Swiss right now & it's the end of the 2nd period. The pain!

:( I am not watching but am paying close attention to CBC's blog about it (http://www.cbc.ca/olympics/sports/i...og/game3.shtml). Come on Canada!!!!!!

That blog sucked for me yesterday at work. I got email updates from a friend before they updated on the site. How long does it take to post a score?

I'm not sure how long it takes... but it is kind of slow, I find. But I love some of the comments they make though! ("Calling Judge Judy. Is there a Judge Judy in the house?" :D)

AUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

We've never lost to the Swiss before! OMG That was awful! Gerber, the Swiss goalie, was amazing.





LOL That call did take a long time. :D

:(

I was too busy watching biathlon to see the game, but...

Switzerland beat Canada?
What the Fuck?

And a shut out?

Switzerland?

WTF indeed.....HUGE shocker!! :eek:

The Swiss goalie was outstanding -- 49 saves. He plays for the Hurricanes.

The guy who scored the two goals is actually a Canadian who married a Swiss woman. *sob* He used to play for Montreal. *sob*

As one of the older guard, it continues to please me that countries like Croatia, Estonia, Latvia and Ukraine not only can compete now, but also win.

:eek: :confused: Another hockey shocker!!! The American men are out of medal contention! Holy smoley!!! :eek: :confused:
