Still kinda disappointed there was no bench-clearing hair-pulling-cat-fighting brawl between the US ladies and Canadian ladies...

Yumcha

Never heard of her until now...

JediMindTricks

Seriously, couldn't they have brought that to the dressing room? Its GM place, not a bar.

...but you can't take drunken laps on the Zamboni and honk the horn in the dressing room

All the "what if..." bullshit about the women's skiing. I understand they need to stand behind the American athletes but they are so god damn biased it makes it difficult to watch without the mute on.

Funny American commentators (that won medals for America) on an American TV station rooting for Americans.

subinf

Makes for pretty shitty tv.

Although to be fair, no one else was in the stadium

I watched the last six skaters, they were very gracious to the other skaters especially the winner and the Canadian chick who's mother dies.

Except for said Photogs who leaked those photos.

I guess the AP has nothing else to do?

And I didn't get to watch figure skating last night, but heard from everyone at my office that Yuna Kim dominated. Just finished watching the competition on DVR in our conference room and Jesus... it wasn't even a competition.

The Korean newspapers are headlining "All hail the Queen."

dom

Her coach Brian Orser, 2 time I think silver medalist was dancing with her throughout the routine. She got him the gold he could never win.

Moog-Type-S

shhhhhhh......don't burst their bubble.

BraveDemon

JediMindTricks

yea it wasn't even close.

some are saying the judges were being generous with a 150 in the free skate. yuna said she was expecting a 140 or so. it still wouldn't have been close.

one article said it best: "kim made a mockery of the competition"

Ohno was cheated... his hand was off for 1-2 seconds while the Canadian skated before the Canadian fell.. cheated!

If they disqualify Apollo for the touch, then they need to disqualify the Canadian for the same thing and redo the whole race.

Home field advantage at its finest.

I saw a race last week where the guy came up from behind (like he was trying to b/f the skater in front of him) and they d/q the guy in front. Don't know how that was wrong.

dom

Win some lose some. Ohno's has his share of luck.

Personally I don't think anyone should have been DQ'd. The Korean fell because Hamelin skate hit his hand causing him to lose an edge. The contact Ohno made didn't look like enough to make the other Canadian fall.

I agree. I was commenting to my brother that Ohno can't survive on luck forever. He's had quite a few races this year where luck won it for him.

Nonetheless, I still think they should reboot and run it again.

One thing I'll be happy for when these games are over with... These g damn Geico commercials will be gone. I think they have paid DTV for every damn break. This is watching CNBC and MSNBC.

dom

What an absolute disaster the Canadian men's short track team has been...up until tonight. Glad they pulled it together.

dom

Try watching GM cars talking to eachother in a parking lot 89 times a day.

West6MT

very true

Mizouse

looking at the replays, the Canadians right hand hit the Korean dude first causing him to lose balance and then having his hand hit the Canadians foot.


and if everyone got DQ'd in the A final, the B final people would get bumped up, they wouldn't rerun it.

Mizouse

yea well im sick of seeing Michael j fox and Ryan Reynolds advertising B.C. and how i should plan a trip there...

Mizouse

well then go watch the live feeds with out any commentary online then....

you can pretty much guarantee that if you goto any country showing the Olympics that the commentators will be rooting for their own country.

MWalsh9152

while Ive enjoyed watching the olympics almost nightly, I am glad that things will be back to normal in tv programing this coming week. Every show I want to watch has been reruns

dom

Fixed, and me too.

Yumcha

At least the cars aren't that bad looking.

Is this online anywheres?

MWalsh9152
