Winter Olympics
Anyone watching?
Last night's Snowboard Halfpipe was insane. (I know Soccer saw it, he posted on Facebook).
Shaun White's first run in the finals was enough to win the gold....his second run....I don't know if anyone can EVER top it.

Lindsey Vonn winning women's downhill with a bruised shin on one of the hardest, bumpiest courses EVER.
And then, there's the Norwegian Curling team....

Re: Winter Olympics
I missed watching the flying tomato, I did not know snowboarding started yet. I watched the U.S.A. curling team lose to the germans though

AUSTRIA go go go !!!
Re: Winter Olympics
Also hilarious watching our Canadian girls destroy everyone they come up against for hockey, hopefully the game vs USA is more interesting to watch. Mens boardercross was pretty a good race too. GO CANADA GO
Re: Winter Olympics
Of the 200 channels I have on TV, the Olympics occupies about 150 at the moment. LOL.

Re: Winter Olympics
For me watching the winter olympics is all about turning into dutch television and watch them whine and moan about the quality of the ice for speed skating.. And raving about their own athletes until they fail.
Hilarious.
Always a shame cross country biking isnt an olympic sport, then we belgians could get a medal to.

Re: Winter Olympics
Yeashh been watching it, curling is just ridiculous, there is no other sport in the world where gettin 0 points in an end is better than getting 1 but getting 2 or more is best! lol Its ridulous that u lose the 'hammer' if u win an end, they should just make it even, take turns would make for a more interesting sport imo i fell asleep in the GB game vs switzerland!
And GB are just shocking at everything going, STILL yet to win ONE medal!
The canadians hockey team is just a joke atm lol just murdering all opposition lol conceding only 2 goals and scoring 41?? Lol
When I was reading someones column in the paper about the olympics it made me laugh, he said that he was amazed, because he didnt think anyone could make Sacha Baron Cohen's character 'Brüno' look masculine in comparison, until he saw the male figure skaters

Re: Winter Olympics
Curling is quite a bit more complicated and skillful than you guys are making it out to be. The strategy that goes into play is quite complex.

Re: Winter Olympics
The maid that comes at wednesdays and thursdays to clean the house must be some kind of iamgrunt of curling
Re: Winter Olympics
I agree with drew curling is very difficult, and skillful. It definitely deserves to be an Olympic sport more than ping-pong does.

Re: Winter Olympics
Finland has been a dissapointment lol. We predicted to have at least 12 medals and now only have 1. I think that our hockey team can bring us second medal.
