Team Pursuit is crazy

[Andy]

I'm glad NBC isn't bothering to show the damn team pursuit final so they can air a half-hour puff piece about a tiny town in Canada that sheltered international flights on 9/11.

I've been flipping between CNN and NBC since the cross country race was won and I've seen as much sports on CNN as NBC. (and more disaster film on NBC than the station trying to show a tsunami) It's pathetic.

[Sammys Boombox]

Ugh. Wanted to medal in the womens' pursuit, especially since Germany is going to medal.

[Sammys Boombox]

This is not the right time for this piece.

[chuckywang]

Powerful piece by Brokaw, as always.

[Careless]

So was the German skater injured in the race against the US?

[Sammys Boombox]

So annoying that the Bobsled final will not be live.

Bobsled GOLD!

 

Gold: USA

Silver: Germany

Bronze: Canada

Well, it's not like they haven't won bobsled before. They did it in 1948.

I was just interest to see if this was an upset or the USA was at some level of contention. USA and bobsled contention don't seem like they go together.

I wish it was televised..

It will be on NBC tonight. Live would be better, but that's NBC for you.

 

The Canadian men's curling team is pretty impressive. Just making every shot. Also, their captain's skull

They absolutely rolled teams during the group stage. Only had three of nine matches decided by one or two points.

[TruffleShuffle]

Also, their captain's skull

 

he reminds me of vizzini from the princess bride

[Careless]

We have an old speed skater who has had hip surgery?

[UMFan83]

Go Slovakia in a few minutes!

[Andy]

Depriving people of watching real events during the real figure skating competitions clearly is not enough for NBC. Gotta do it for pointless exhibitions too.

[Magnetic Curses]

[expletive] off canada, what a crock of [expletive].

 

sorry, getting some frustration out, but there's no reason why they should have won more gold medals than anyone in history in a year we set the medal mark.

 

especially with china doing virtually the same thing in 2008.

Whatever, it's in their home country and they spent a crapload of money preparing their athletes for these games. Why wouldn't they deserve what they've achieved?

because they're losers?

[brinoch]

Clearly not, since they won more events than any other nation. Now, if you meant hosers, that's another story.

[Magnetic Curses]

they've been losers at every other olympics

[bcl412]

they've been losers at every other olympics

 

It's ok. When we beat them in their sport tomorrow the rest of their medals won't mean anything to anyone other then the athletes that won them..
