The 2010 Winter Olympics Thread!!

^^ yea i thought his first run without the Mctwist 1260 was better IMO

but im not a judge (that counts atleast ;) )

Alasdair: would it make you feel better if i said his run was bomb? cuz it was. no doubt.








However, he still isnt my Fav Winter Olympic Athlete ;)
 
all this snow on the ground is wanting me to make some rocks and try curling out for my own. lets do it, ryanlaughlin!
 
hahaha... i'm down! i've been talking about getting into curling since torino, but damned if i know how to go about getting it started! there's nowhere around here that i know of that i could do it. :( plus the stones are fucking expensive!

i'm watching the usa vs. denmark right now. nicole joraanstad is definitely cute, but she's no eve muirhead!
 
only one reason for that, and I think we all know what that was. they should have had hiller in on the shoot out, the way he was playing.

it's total bullshit that both teams get one point for an overtime win though.
 
i don't know if i read what you said correctly. hiller did play. but both teams getting a point is f'n gheeey. the loser should not be awarded shit. it seems very PC to me. like not wanting to hurt anyone's feelings. kinda make's hockey look soft. :D
 
shit... that was right over my head. :D

so jesus! did anybody catch that poor japanese kids performance in the figure skating??? he fell, then his skates came untied, he was granted 3 minutes to fix the issue by the rules, which he did and returned to the ice to finish the remaining 30 seconds, with spirit, and did well. the crowd cheered forever!
 
Johnny Weir(the figure skater with a reality show "Be Good Johnny Weir" on Sundance, and the subject of a recent docu also on Sundance "Pop Star on Ice" was robbed...probably due to his criticism of the judges in the past. He wasn't better than Plushenko(the Russian who was ABSOLUTELY ROBBED of a gold by Lysacek) but he deserved a medal. Lambiele(the Swiss figure skater) has the most amazing spins I've ever seen...by far....so friggin fast...it's ridiculous.

Completely hetero, by the way...lol...I just grew up in a figure skating family and follow the sport.
 
These Winter Olympics need more cowbell!

wow... the first period of the canada v USA game has been FAST! brodeur looks completely uncomfortable in the net mishandling pucks, making stupid passes, bad saves, he's damn lucky they're only down one goal.
 
I can't believe they didn't yank brodeur after the first. he had a couple good saves there in the second, but that 3rd US goal was totally saveable. and once again, pronger shows why he should be put out to pasture (or taken out back and shot).

I wouldn't say that Canada is lucky to only be down on goal though. this game has been more than one-sided in every aspect other than the scoreboard.
