i don't get the biathlon, i mean, archery? can't they just wrestle instead or something?

Archery?

 

Anyway, between the end of the 1500 and the Nordic Combined, there were some fun moments. I never thought I'd enjoy watching cross country skiing that much.

These skiiers are insane

[Careless]

the crash the American had was pretty funny.

That has to be murder on your knees.

 

The run by Bilodeau was insane. Glad to see Canada get that gold.

It probably makes me a bad person but I find the most intriguing thing about figure skating to be the mistakes.

 

Who wins or loses is largely subjective. But when you [expletive] up, there's no denying you just fucked up. It's the most objective aspect of the sport.

The Big Blue Ukrainian really did not look like an Olympic skater.

Aside from the first Russian, they're all over 21. Pairs skaters seem to be older. Probably failed singles skaters.

 

And the costumes seem to have gotten funnier and funnier as the night has gone on.

My wife was asking about the scores that weren't shown so I had this page open.

 

http://www.denverpost.com/portlet/article/html/imageDisplay.jsp?contentItemRelationshipId=1432960 Had to look up that Canadian's injury. That's a lot of blood.

[Soul]

Wow.

 

At this rate they're going to need to open another investigation into the judging.

"judged" sports are really the worst

Their opening and costumes were no sillier than anything in the half or so of that Will Ferrel figure skating movie that I've seen.

[Derwood]

clowns?

 

really?

 

and they used the song "Send in the Clowns", which isn't about clowns

it's always nice to get a reminder every 4 years about how boring figure skating is.

Sadly it comes more than every four years. I see it on TV a couple times a year.

You guys are crazy. It's a very beautiful, artistic, and athletic sport.

I'm not so much talking about ESPN's use of the photo but just that Ohno did it after winning silver. It may be a photo from when he won a gold though I didn't get to see the race tonight so I don't know if that is the suit he wore.

 

Oh for the love of... Does it ever end?

So is professional wrestling since we are talking about rigged sports.

This dude at Newsweek obviously doesn't like sports: Fool's Gold

 

He does have some valid points though.
