Winter Olympics 2018

[CubColtPacer]

For me it tends to be more thrilling when people are playing directly against each other rather than against a clock. Summer has a stronger list of team sports, and the individual sports have many where the races are directly against each other (swimming, track and field being prominent among those). Winter has speed skating which is lots of fun and of course hockey as a team sport, but other than that their events are mostly not like that where the finals are suddenly determined in 5 minutes. I agree the sports are more interesting in winter, but without the adrenaline rush it just doesn't rate as highly in my book.

not really with them, just at the same club and have seen them around a couple of times, but we're pretty much bff's.

Every Winter Olympics I learn the rules of Curling, and then by the next one, I've completely forgotten them and am totally confused.

 

There should be a constant scroll on the bottom of the screen explaining what the horsefeathers is going on

You try to get the most stones possible closest to the center of the thing. It is a very simple game.

I get that, but there's scoring and strategy and terminology I always forget

I guess it's pretty easy to just be declared an "Asian analyst" for a major network:

Whats there to get? When a trucker hat wearing, horsefeathers mustache wielding, beer bellied white boy and his sister from Middleton WI are a “team” in the Olympics, the sport they play cant be tooooo complicated. Or physical really

If there’s anything worse than the catch rule, it’s watching Olympic judges grade leaps and twirls

Skeleton Luge is a guy going face first at 60 MPH and if he messes up he could die or be seriously hurt.

I am super pumped for that arbitrary contest!

Kidding aside, I realize that this is a thread for people who enjoy the winter olympics. I don't like enjoy them. I probably should have never even entered this thread, much less made the dumb, inflammatory post(s) that I made. I'll see myself out. Sorry about being a dick. Enjoy your games.

Didn't Jose Canseco say that steroids gave him "eagle vision" or something like that? I guess that would help maybe in curling.
