Official Other Olympics Thread

False hope for your fellow countrymen is what the Olympics are all about!

Why don't the judges just walk over to the other side of the ice and just hand Russia the gold in team skating and save us the time and effort of going though that last two events? I mean that is the point isn't it?

 

[BlueWolfZero]

The Russian crowd influenced the judges big time in the first part of the team event, but no doubt they earned it in the back half...

You guys mind if I start the Official Olympic Ice Hockey thread? Was going to do a detailed description of the teams' rosters, groupings, & history in the Olympics.

Go for it, Doobie.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Go for it, Doobie.

Cool, I'll get started on it. Already done with Group A

 

[Dacks]

Not gonna stay up for curling, but 7am short track speed skating is a go! Hamelin for the win!

Oh Russia

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

That little Russian figure skater is exceptional.

I think I'll channel some BlueWolf and say Brad Jacobs needs to get his shit together on the curling sheet (giving up a steal of two points to Germany).

Next end the Germans start missing some shots and Canada scores 3 with last rock.

 

[dash]

Okay, zee Germans are falling apart now (Jacobs with a steal of two points to take a 7-4 lead).

Agreed. She was tremendous.

And speaking of tremendous, holy crap Felix Loch is good at the luge. No one was even really all that close to him.

 

[The Derski]

Thursday at 7:30am eastern time. Will probably be shown on tape delay later that day

Thanks
