Anyone watching the games? Really enjoyed the Men's Snowboard Cross and Half-Pipe

I recall a Public Service Announcement that the folks from Rooster-Teeth (the guys that did Red vs. Blue) did last time the winter olympics rolled around...and I'm with them.
Every event could use more polar bears. (http://redvsblue.com/archive/episode.php?id=191)

I've got to be completely honest, I could not care less about the Olympics.
I would much rather watch team sports than personal accomplishment-based sports.

Ever wonder why curling was divided into Men's and Women's competitions?
Answer:
Because women are more used to sweeping!

just jokin dude, hope you don't take it seriously

I'm watching the Olympics quite a lot.
Men's Ice Hockey is quite nice to watch. Snowboard cross and Half-Pipes are also fun to watch. Skeleton and Luge are also 2 crazy sports that are worth watching but it gets repetitive after a few runs. Short track speed skating is also interesting to watch. I'll watch the Female Ice Hockey final, before that it's very boring USA and Canada beating all other teams 10-0.
Luge Doubles would probably shock a lot of people, go on youtube and have a look, you will understand why.
-
Women's ice hockey is ridiculous right now. Last I checked, Canada had 41 goals in 3 games.
Curling, once you figure out what's going on, is quite fun to watch too.

I'm not watching too much, but I automatically strike out my respect for any sport that can be performed in jeans. *coughcoughsnowboardingcoughcough*

Hope, in future, your girlfriend will never read this!
My country has won gold! yay!! I like alpine categories.

Halfpipe is more of a sport than, say, hockey.
Being a skier myself, I follow the skiing and snowboarding. Best part of the games.
-
I love the speed skating.
Hup Holland Hup!

The only gold medal Austria has and is going to receive at these olympics....

I do not agree.
-
Halfpipe is about half the sport that hockey is. They even have it in the name.

Hup Holland Hup!
Ulmo, you're my man! That is also the only hope for dutch medals, and we have succeeded so far. 4 medals already, 2x gold, 1x silver and 1x bronse....
-
Why is Holland so good in Long Track Speed Skating and bad in Short Track Speed Skating?
-
they're not dwarves, apparently.
-
Long Track is our tradition. We are an iceskating nation, with long going traditions that require a good stamina. The most famous is our Elf Stedentocht (11 cities tour) that will take skaters for 200 km along 11 cities. Because our moderate climate we do not have that tour often, last one was in 1997.
Shorttrack isn't our cup of tea. Maybe it will be, but not at this moment.
-
Irene Wust won our 5th medal, and yet another golden one!
-
Bad day for austria rank 4, 5 and 6!! Dear neighbours: congratulation! :gp: in Giant Slalom! What a race!
-
Drama on the 10.000 meters for Holland. Sven Kramer was on his way to win his second gold medal and then his coach send him in the wrong lane...disqualified. Pfff, he was almost 7 seconds faster than the #2, which is a huge gap. Sigh. Would have been an olympic record! Very sad...
Elrohir, are you coming next sunday in Zwolle ;-) Nice tournament with 15+ people.....

Heard about that. I feel bad for the coach, as well as the skater.

Canada is winning loads of medals right now. Male and female curling are up next and male ice hockey as well hehe.
-
Wow. Who watched the Men's hockey gold medal game? Sidney Crosby scores in overtime, meaning Canada gets a 14th gold medal, which is more gold medals than have ever been won by a single country in one winter game.
That was a very good game.
-
YEah!!! Hockey is Canada's game!
-
I would suggest that the Canadian Women's Hockey Team is more badass than their men's team. (http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/vancouver/blog/fourth_place_medal/post/IOC-to-investigate-Canadian-women-s-hockey-team-?urn=oly,224338)
Also, Meghan Agosta (number 2) looks like Kate Hudson in hockey gear. Of course, at 5'6", 147 lbs, she would be a shorter, pudgier Kate Hudson.

maybe just buffer...
can girls count as buff?
-
Girls can be buff. But I don't think buff is any more of a compliment than pudgy.
