OT: 2018 Winter Olympics

[Darkstone42]

A Russian figure skating athlete getting favorable judging at the Olympics?!? Pfft, that never happens.

Haha, I just really don't get how you justify giving a guy who fell, what, four times a better score than someone who didn't fall at all.

It's over? Is my broadcast behind yours?

They just said on CBC that Canada has an insurmountable lead with one event left. Of course, CBC has been guilty of fake news in the past lol

Oh, okay. Yeah, they have a big lead. Looks like Canada, OAR, and U.S.A. will be the order, barring disaster for any of the three.

Alina Zagitova, by the way, blew all the other ladies away in the free skate. Like a 15 point deficit. And she earned it; she was spectacular, genuinely that much better than everyone else.

Hard to argue with that.

What is this mixed curling you speak of? Only allowing mixed drinks as opposed to beer?

Sporting a black eye from that crash, what a gusty effort today.

Only the wind was blowing today, they probably should not have even been competing today to be honest.

They canceled other outdoor events. One with real obvious peril as a result of wind most certainly also should have been.

Looks like a triple salcat...

Hard to argue with that.

Waiting for the inevitable "wait til she stops competing, she will be a mess" haters.

Great personality. Most of the time I just want to smack kids like that, she is just so cute (in a non-sexual way)

I curled for years, mixed curling was always 2 guys and 2 girls. Turned this on for the Olympics and WTF????

I don't like it at all. Two-person teams, you start with 2 rocks already on the ice, etc. Bleah. And I bet they didnt even offer to buy a drink for the Norwegians.

Went to bed and missed the end of the CAN-NOR semifinal. Glad to hear CAN won, they looked like they were choking big time. Tried too often for the "OMG I dont believe it" shots rather then play solid strategy. CAN was up half way but they should have had the match on cruise control.
