[17 Seconds]

ovechkin shoots in the shootout for the second straight time and the 3rd in 6 rounds

 

such a stupid rule

[Flames24Rulz]

What an awesome game.

 

Olympic hockey kicks ass.

[TruffleShuffle]

well now there's pressure on russia... the slovaks should beat latvia, and if they do so in regulation time, russia is going to need at least one point against the czechs.

Plushenko claims Lysacek isn't a true champion without doing a quad jump.

 

However, the Olympic judges apparently determined Plushenko wasn't a true champion with a quad, and I think their vote counts more.

Jeez... Every single member of the female Russian curling team is 19 - 23 and freaking gorgeous. I kinda want us to lose now.

if plushenko's jumps weren't butt-ass ugly, he'd have won the gold, but they were, most every single one of them.

 

there's more to jumping than just landing.

Since when was figure skating all about jumps? I know absolutely nothing about judged figure skating but I know that Lysacek did a fantastic job and the Russian, apart from delivering a completely wooden performance, looked like a broken swivel chair on most of his jumps.

You guys realize you are getting worked up about figure skating, right?

singles figure skating is like one of the marquis events of the olympics, though.

Curling looks fun, and funny, and isn't judged by subjective nonsense.

curling looks like an awesome drunk sport, i agree.

 

but i have to take issue with the subjective nonsense, judges can tell who is good and who isn't.

It's still subjective nonsense, telling who is good and who isn't has nothing to do with judging who is best.

there are standards of what the skaters have to do and degrees of difficulty that are decided upon long before the skaters go out there. if they don't hit what they're supposed to do, they lose points, that's not subjective.

 

you think they can just go out there and do whatever they want and get judged arbitrarily, i get it.

No, I don't think they can just do whatever they want. But it's still judged by humans, which is ridiculous for any sport. It's why the moguls event was disappointing even though the action itself is quite cool (blowing away figure skating).

now you're the one dealing in subjectivity.

 

skiing, imso, is awesome to do but moguls are incredibly boring to watch. i prefer the downhill and super g. and i'd rather watch skating than some made-up subjective nonsensical sport like halfpipe even though i enjoy snowboarding, too.

How am I being subjective? Figure skating sucking is a fact.

 

Moguls by themselves can be boring to watch, but the moguls with the jumps are pretty amazing, and I think the sport might be better if they just made it about how fast you get down with required jumps that aren't judged. And snowboard halfpipe is really boring, except for seeing how much higher whathisface gets.

[jersey cubs fan]

it's kind of crazy to see just how god awful non-curlers are at curling when it looks so damn simple.

[Andy]

Nothing 'sucking' is a fact. A generally-agreed-upon opinion is not a fact.
