The Winter Olympics!

I saw that. I just sat down with my country fried steak and fries, with gravy on the fries, turned on the tube just in time for the guy to wipe out.
"Oh he biffed it!"
So now it's got my attention. NBC proceeds to talk up the American Chen guy..gonna walk away with the Gold no problem, and then he proceeds to eat it, twice.
NBC is stunned, and obviously embarrassed about their (usual) know every-damn-thing before it happens.

Mens figure skating. Hmm. Look, I get it. It takes years of practice and dedication to do a quad-axle-double-whip-triple-fairy..or whatever they call that stuff..but just shut up already do your freakin job. But no..they all wanna proudly 'come out' and proclaim their gay-ness. NBC..lovin' this..eagerly shoves the phallic shaped microphone in their face for more-
"Oh he's so courageous and brave to be himself!"
Hey get this; We don't care! And we're also not surprised in the least. You think you're the first one? Men figure skating has always been a gay breeding ground. Any sport that primarily requires you to push around backwards with your butt leading the way and your hands flailing about is so obviously gay that your gay 'revelation' is only a surprise to you.
Just shut up already and do your freakin job.
Being gay in men's figure skating isn't courageous, it's a requirement.

I finally got around to googling curling to figure out how the scoring works. It's a lot more interesting now.

quick video on the Biathlon rifles
Pretty cool, looking around it looks like one is about 4k new.
The bolt action is real cool

The Fortner action is a work of art and engineering! I would dearly love to have one but can't justify the $4k price tag.

Here are two videos of it up close in action, one regular speed the other slow-mo:

The biathlon action was great, what little they showed of it. I was surprised at the lack of safety concerns, several competitors crossed the finish line, bowed over and muzzled the audience.
 
These young people, from all of the nations participating, are absolutely incredible. Impressive to the max.

If anyone on here has ever been skiing, snow boarding, ice skating, cross country skiing, bob sledding, etc....... and you've been watching these games....... you know how awesome the skills presented to us are by these incredible athletes.

Ignoring politics and all the other crap, these young people demonstrate to all of us what excellence, dedication, discipline, and perseverance can accomplish.

It is a team effort. But it is a team effort that relies on the excellence of individuals and ignores the useless participation of the government.
 
It may seem blasphemous, but I like that the USA doesn't just walk in with it's big money, elite 24/7/365 training facilities, mega-donor sponsors and walk out with all the shiny stuff. It's refreshing to see that character, integrity, and dedication triumph over sheer commercial buying power.

And much of the time, we're not the ones to be squawking anyway regardless of skill set. Malibu Barbie got himself another gold in the snowboard half-pipe...but whoops!..turns out he also likes to send d**k pics to some chick in his garage band.

And once again, American Mens figure skating has proclaimed itself leader of the free gay world/hate Trump movement, above and beyond what they're at the Olympics to do, compete on an international stage and act like an adult.

I don't care if they live in my backyard. If they need a good, embarrassing, kick in the teeth..I'm all for it.
 
Women’s curling. Only event that matters.

A lot of the women this year are smoken.


But nothing else has been on my tv the past week. Fun stuff to watch.

Skeleton, luge, snowboard cross, long jump, alpine, curling, hell all of it is fun to watch.

A lot more enjoyable to watch than the summer stuff

Was she underage? What was the issue?
 
Plus who is Malibu Barbie/ken we a speaking of?
Shaun White

Was she underage? What was the issue?
She made it clear she didn't want him or any of his crap, but he continued.
And then he refused to pay her the agreed sum for playing in the band. Matter of fact, he tried to not pay her anything.
She took him to court on both counts, and he lost big.
 
One startling difference between the Olympics in South Korea and Brazil is crime, or the lack thereof. All peoples are the same, so how can this be? :confused:

:rolleyes:
 
...and South Korean babes are smokin hawt. Love me long time.

No, you forgot that HUGE difference of winter vs summer games lol
 
A fellow more knowledgeable on the sports scene told me that when and if the drugs are taken out the Northern Europeans would dominate the Winter Olympics. Looks like the drugs are few and far between this time around. It was comical to see the Russians drugging at the curling event, don't they have no shame?

Yeah what's up with that?
Tell me how getting 'roided-up can make you gently slide a stone on ice better?
The guys with the little brooms can sweep them at warp speed? Uh no. Just how long do you hafta push that little broom real fast anyway? 15 seconds maybe? If you can't sweep your ass off for 15 seconds at a time there's no sport in the world you're cut out for. Even lifting a Chess piece from the black square to the white square would kill you.
 
Did the Russian curling guy really use drugs? Like yoy said there is no upside. And the Int'l Olympic Committee is a bad as any other Int'l body. Do you really think it would be above someone, like say the USA, to set them up to make them look like idiots? Wouldn't be the first time politics entered the games.

Ok, tin foil hat is offf now. I'll continue my day. :D
