Can't wait for women's downhill. Can you imagine those thighs wrapped around you & pulling you in?
Winter Olympics

I love the Winter Olympics - mainly because Canada competes for a lot of medals (unlike in the Summer Olympics.)
The only thing that I want to see is this snowflake lose. Crying about losing a coin toss to see who would be the flag bearer. Terrible sportsmanship. Boo Hoo.
Ready for two weeks of “I wonder if she’s over 20?”
It’s that special two weeks every four years when Sven and Jórgen really shine.
With all the tech stuff they're showing off in the opening ceremony, we should have sex robots by now.
Yeah, another dumb sport. I much prefer the Summer Olympics. I'm not a fan of many winter sports. It also seems like the Winter Olympics has added a bunch of X-Game type sports lately.
I'll watch the classic skiing events, speed skating, and, although I'm not a hockey fan, Olympic hockey is usually really fun to watch.
What's with the "Biathon"? It seems to be a "sport" combining cross-country skiing with rifle shooting. Hey, how 'bout a similar sport for the Summer Olympics: Run 5 km with a gun, stop and rob a liquor store, then run 5 km to the finish line!
Opening ceremony was pretty good.
My favorite was the drone formation. Least favorite was the oily Tonga guy. Once was enough.
Some on Twitter we're making fun of the US team outfit. It wasn't good but it was better than the monochromatic look of the last US team to compete in Korea.

I always pull for the U.S.A. against the world in any sport. I don't care if it is figure skating

or curling (I actually like it and wish they had some of those places around like bowling alleys so the average person can try it). However, I hope this chick crashes and fails. I can't stand these athletes (anyone with popularity actually) that uses their popularity to push their agenda for the world to see. You don't like Trump fine, but don't use the Olympics as a podium to bash the President. This is the time to be united as a country. I hope she disappears into obscurity like Colin Kaepernick.
During an interview Wednesday with CNN’s Alpine Edge, the Olympic skier said she would decline an invitation to visit President Donald Trump’s White House if invited.
“But I have to win to be invited,” Vonn said. “No actually I think every US team member is invited, so no I won’t go.”
“I hope to represent the people of the United States, not the President.”
You know what's worse than people with popularity pushing agendas? People without popularity pushing agendas. At least she has talent and accomplishments. You're just anonymous schmuck on the internet. This threads about the Olympics, not wah wah respect the president except the ones who look like they were born in Kenya.I always pull for the U.S.A. against the world in any sport.

The effects were pretty cool, the rendition of “Imagine” that they were singing was horrendous.
Yeah, the Evil Russkies got themselves kicked out of this year's Olympics.
It was some kind of doping scandal that involved athletes and accomplices all the way up to the top of Russian Olympic Federation. Russia, as a country, was banned. At least 47 athletes and coaches permanently. The International Olympic Committee has allowed individual Russians, presumed innocent, to compete on a case-by-case basis. They are known as "OARs" -- "Olympic Athletes from Russia". Some of them still don't know if they'll be allowed to participate yet or not.
Only thing I have learned from the Olympics is that NBC & CNN love North Korea, Kim Jong Poo, & his sister.
I love sports. I’ll watch almost any sport on TV at any given time.
Regular season NBA basketball is something I just can’t get into.
Our slope style gold medalist, Red Gerard , is a 17 year old hobbit . True story . He came to this country on a diversity visa from The Shire.
Winter Olympic sports that would interest me and bring back memories.....
* Downhill cardboard racing.
* Downhill car hood racing.
* Downhill inner tube racing.
* Snowball fighting.
* Competitive snowman building.

I told my wife no wonder the nords swept the skiathlon medals. In Norway that event is called "running errands."
There should be some kind of avalanche competition. Teams of hikers on the mountain side, avalanche gets triggered, the rescue team has to find their own and save them before it’s too late.
Besides march madness the winter Olympics are my favorite sporting event. The story lines are incredible and the sheer amount of pressure these athletes have on them is INSANE. Four years of hard work for just seconds to shine is crazy to me. So hell yes I'm watching.
The thing I hate about the Olympics is that there are too many events that are judged and as we have seen in basketball and football, a judge (ref) can control the outcome unfairly. To much favoritism or lack of objectivity by some. Of course I still pull for us to win in the judged events.
I prefer the events that are just mano a mano. You are either the fastest, strongest, or most skilled or you don't win. Like hockey, speed skating, curling, the bobsled, and ski jumping for instance.
