Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics

So I like the CBC website, but the female speedskating commentator is annoying as hell. High pitched Canadian = 

That's Kristina Groves, our #1 distance speed skater.

The slopestyle final is great, but that Norwegian guy was robbed, he clearly had the best run.

Maxence was the one who got robbed.

I watched the whole thing and it was great. 

I think (quasi) autocratic countries have a real advantage in this sort of thing. Aside from the funding they seem to come up with, they don't need to represent a bunch of different groups or viewpoints in the history storylines.

Bruno Banani didn't come in last in the first luge run, but because of all the commentators talking about his name change he's still worth every cent I would think.

Some very good looking girls in the moguls freestyle.

Not only that, but massive performances involving thousands of people are what autocratic regimes specialize at.

Canadian sisters dominate the freestyle moguls. They missed the sweep though leaving the third sister in 12th position.

I always find myself rooting for the Canadians in these things.  Well, the anglophone ones at least.

I wonder why you allow the summer games to pass without an avatar change?

The longer you go after shedding your fake alias the more the dorsey idiocy returns.

I don't see the point of skiatholon, other than to increase events.  It should just be: here's the course, go as fast as you can.

And the thing where they ski off metal rails is the most deeply retarded X game event ever imported into the Olympics.

About 25 years ago most ski hills banned snow boards because the old folks thought it was the most deeply retarded thing they ever saw.

I assume that you dont get up on ski hills that much Yi.  If you did you would see most the the under 25 crowd was spending most of their time "skiing" off those metal rails.

Citing craziness as the reason for making decisions is a cop-out.

And I would still think it's a retarded Olympic event.
