Watching the snow bunnies is fun.

Watching Russia losing in hockey will be fun because they want to win that above all else.

is it true that there will be a Jamaican bobsled team like in the Disney Cool Runnin' movie? a rumor I heard at work the other day

 

[dddaver]

Jamaican bobsled team is a real thing, they are there now. Their equipment was thought lost at first but did arrive in Sochi.

I guess this became a Super Duper Olympian Chic Pic thread? Thanks man. Spectators will be fun to watch too.

I wonder if Lola is still a virgin? Are there any volunteers to relieve her of that terrible burden? * Whoa, has to duck from all the hands being raised.*

Curling eh. I really like the speed skating. Got to be on top of your game to keep from wiping out.

Yep, speed skating and downhill skiing.


I wish they would come up with a version of skiing that was "Medium Slalom" - in between Slalom and Giant Slalom.

Slalom you're going about 25 miles per hour, Giant Slalom, 50 mph.

Personally, I try to cap it at about 40 miles per hour. And I hate slamming into poles.

I have talked to other amateur skiers and "people who skied in school", and asked them about the gates in Slalom. Nobody LIKES slamming into the gates.


I would like to see an event where it was power turns all the way down, at about 40 miles per hour.

Today I liked the luge and biathlon. Damn I wish the commentator would get her act together tho.... IF they miss a shot on biathlon they don't "do another lap"!!! Like she said. D
They go around the Penalty loop FFS..

I don't watch olympix anymore but did catch 2 sportscasters chatting it up in Sochi where it was a brisk 59F yesterday, brrrrr, chilly.......

 

[D. B. Doober]

I've been watching it on NBC

 

[TimeKeeper]

Good to see Norway kicking ass again. Go team Norway!

I guess I'm just being an old stodgy fucker but it seems to me like some of the newer events just aren't ..."Olympic-like". I'm speaking specifically here of the half-pipe. Granted it takes real athleticism but seems like it is only reserved for a select few, is very condition and equipment dependent (mostly why White lost, the poor conditions I think), and a little too show-like. Those flips are fun to watch I guess though. It's largely an American event, American invented too. Apolitical my hairy ass.

Still, when they cancelled wrestling in the summer games I thought WTF? That's a main thing that started them going isn't it?. I guess they should cancel some other events like javelin throwing too.

Maybe they should have free-style skateboarding now too.

Ice filled bongs hits.

Clearly Phelps is going to get gold.

 

[mrcreosote]

Heavyweight bowl lifting.

The Flame Throw!

Oh, those Russians...just love to attack peaceful protesters. This is happening now, at least when I made the post. What a strange Olympics this one is....
