The Olympics

[roadfix]

Not a fan of curling but I’ve watched some of it on every winter Olympic.
Anyway I’m watching this today and realized for the very first time that these guys are not wearing skates but some specialized shoes for this sport.

The Russian team needed drugs to be better at curling?

I need drugs just to watch curling...

My thoughts exactly

I bet vodka would work, too.

 

[buckytom]

A lot!

We’re watching the women’s hockey gold medal game now, live. USA vs Canada

 

[Cooking Goddess]

WOW!

What. A. Game!

 

[roadfix]

Yeah, what a game!
Now watching the medals ceremony and the Canadian women are not happy with their medals...

 

[buckytom]

Thank you, roadfix, for the heads up. I was able to catch the OT period and shootout.

WOOHOO!

The US team deserved the win. Canada has stroger skaters, but we played better as a team. Better communication on the ice.

Whoever made curling into Olympic sport was on drugs.

Good thing they don’t have shuffleboard in the summer games...

 

[roadfix]

One thing though... there’s gotta be a better way rather than a shootout to determine the winner. It could have been anybody’s game at that point.

 

[CharlieD]

Next thing it. Will be horse shoes

Congrats to US womens hockey team defeating Canada, their national sport, for the gold. Canada looked not so happy posing with their silver medals. One of the three podium recipients ripped her medal and ribbon off (*camera click*).

I got a laugh outta hearing that a member of a curling team got kicked out for using steroids. At last, some humor to these Olympics.

I'm sorry, but where the hell did the giant downhill ramp ski competition go? I heard that the winds were too strong. I remember at least a day or two of coverage in past Olympics for this event. These Olympics weren't played in ideal conditions I'm sorry to say. Reports say they had to water down the snow to soften it up. Some complained the ice hard snow damaged their equipment. A lot of tickets were sold to these events, but many stayed away from spectating because of the harsh winter conditions.

I also wondered about the ski jump. I just assumed I missed it.

I thought the closing ceremony was pretty lame....
