Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics

The goal is to beat each other.

That's the goal of every sport...but they don't put the figure skaters or lugers all out at one time.

And those events are considerably less interesting than short track speed skating.

I have to say that all those Sochi Fail tweets have set up an unreasonable expectation.

I haven't checked the feed since Saturday morning.

Woo! More Medals

[Razgovory]

I watched some of the downhill skiing.  They go really fast.  I admit, it was exciting to watch.

Downhill skiing is a pure sport.  You start here, get to that line as fast as you can.

Also the wipeouts are great.

I was looking through all-time medal counts on Wikipedia and East Germany is *still* listed as 10th even though they only competed in 6 Winter Olympics and haven't even existed since 1990.

Should probably just roll East/West Germany into Germany.

Now figuring out how to divide up the Soviet Union into their respective modern states would be a little trickier (not to mention that post-fall "Unified" team).

Some very impressive moguls by the men - too bad we didnt sweep the podium but great performance by Bilodeau to repeat as Olympic champion.  Didnt get to see the short track gold - but I did hear it was his weakest event so hopefully two more gold for him to come.

NBC Olympics streaming has got to be the clusterfuckiest clusterfuck I've ever come across on the web.  Finding the stream to something that isn't the 2010 men's hockey final game is damn near impossible, especially if you don't want to accidentally run across the spoilers.

Go back to Russia, commie

[DGuller]

How do you follow those slalom events?  All I can make out is that you're supposed to hit the poles, but how do you tell a good pole hit from the one that automatically disqualifies you?

Did Bob Costas just drink vodka on TV?    And without a zakuska?

Russkies have some hotties in woman's curling.

I've had no problems watching things. Is it NBC or your cable company that is suckiest of the suck?
