"Wot no discusson thread? _O_"
So, Winter Olympics, are we enjoying it so far?

Britain wins its first ever medal on snow 90 years we've been trying (although I still feel sorry for Alain Baxter) which perked us all up a bit.

Elsewhere I really enjoyed the Slope Style on skis and boards, still find the Moguls and Half Pipe more boring than watching paint dry, really enjoy Curling, the British 7 stone end was most impressive, and all the various hurl yourself down the mountain on a tea tray events. The Russian figure skaters have been very good so far.

Not as much as in past years. I think its part the bad pre-game press and part time difference.*

I am enjoying Tucker West's 15 minutes of fame. He's an American luger who finished 22 and is from my hometown. It has been great to see all the support he's gotten from them. I'm also looking forward to seeing Mikayla Shiffrin ski. Her aunt is one of my oldest and dearest friends and I've been hearing about her efforts since she was little. It is amazing that she has made it to the top tier of skiing so quickly. I hope the SI cover jinx doesn't get her!!

Personally, I think only Canada and Lillehammer, Norway should be allowed to host the Winter Games!

Bob Costas's pink eye kind of sums up the atmosphere of the games!

22nd very impressive!

For me after the Vancouver games the time difference is negligible, I have to get up at five to watch the Curling, but that isn't too bad, although the British teams are playing like they've never seen a stone before at the moment.

5th in the Giant Slalom, very impressive.

The American papers seem disappointed, but a) how many of them came 5th in the Olympics? and b) the Gold and Silver had already won Gold medals so obviously the Olympics agree with them, I imagine that going from a 60 girl event to a whole slew of events as a part of a big team with intense media interest will make some people perform just a bit better than they normally do.

The American papers are medal hungry! The important thing is that she stayed focused and didn't let the Olympics hype get to her. She was up against women with a lot of experience. Her family is very proud of her.

Here's to a better result on Friday in her specialty, the Slalom!!

I thought she had fallen in the second run, amazing that she held it together, and even more amazing that she was still able to win after such a mistake. Great performance.

I enjoy it all. And these Olympics are especially well timed for me because of this icy weather which caused roads to be closed and me not being able to leave the house. I can watch all the skating, skiing, hockey, and other ice sports they have. I like it all, even the head games in curling. Johnny Weir's daily outfit watch is a sport unto itself.

I also like your descriptions, i.e. "...the various hurl yourself down the mountain on a tea tray events."

Congrats on the British first. The US also had a first ever medal in luge.




A Tribal Whoopee! We're all gonna fry.

We also managed to hold on to our Ladies "head first down the mountain on a tea tray" gold

Two medals, we are going really well, we haven't won more than 3 since 1924.

The men's slope style skiing was awesome. A USA sweep!

And gotta love that Gus Kenworthy is bringing home -- along with his silver medal -- a mother dog and her four puppies that were hanging around the Olympic village.

Because the area around Sochi is both poor and warm, there have been packs of stray dogs living there. Putin tried to have them all rounded up and killed, but international pressure caused him to hold off on the "killed" part.

Glad to hear that five of the dogs now have homes.

Meanwhile, NBC's cheerleading for Mother Russia continues to make the evening broadcast unwatchable (not to mention that I've been watching the Alpine skiing events on my cellphone as they happen).

At least this time Bode Miller isn't losing because he "partied in an Olympic manner", as he said in 2006. Instead, it looks like he's losing because he wants to win so badly. What a difference to throw away the Olympics as meaningless when you're at your prime, only to tighten up when you're near the end.

From an American perspective, the US flop in speed skating ha been incredibly disappointing. The idea that the fancy, sponsored (and vented) UnderArmour suits could be the root cause of the problem (and that IOC rules prohibit the individual US racers fom changing back to their usual Nike suits) is just the kind of classic Olympic FUBAR that results from a bunch of greedy, corrupt old men and women making rules to maximize their own profit.

The word "Olympics" should be listed in the dictionary as a synonym for the word "con".

If I wanted to see slopestyle skiing (or, for that matter, halfpipe), I'd watch the X Games. But I don't. And most of the other freestyle skiing events are just a joke. Yeah, just what we wanted, more "judged" events to be corrupted.

And holding the WINTER OLYMPICS in a place that AVERAGES 50 degrees for a high in February? Hey, why don't we hold the next ones in Atlanta?

Plus, whenever I see HRH Putin, I feel like I'm watching the Garmisch-Partenkirchen Winter Olympics of 1936 - except that it was actually cold in Nazi Germany durng those games.

LAST EDITED ON 02-17-14 AT 04:38 PM (EST)

Well, we're finally learning why the fools at the IOC awarded the Olympics to Sochi -- they had no idea that Sochi is subtropical. Some of you may remember Killy for sweeping the Alpine skiing events at the 1968 Grenoble Olympics, but now he's a supervisor at the IOC.

IOC's Jean-Claude Killy speaks

Going into the project, Killy—who was the chief coordinator for the IOC for the 2006 Games in Turin, Italy—knew little about this city where people can swim in the sea and ski the nearby mountains on the same day. He felt good about the project because Russia had good people working on it: "foreign-educated, people from Harvard, Stanford, KGB."

Two months after the vote, Killy packed warm clothes and a heavy coat for a trip to Sochi but wound up sweating heavily throughout a news conference. At the time, the area in Adler where the Olympic Park now stands was a swamp. There was no ski resort and little in the way of facilities in the Caucasus Mountains in Rosa Khutor.

No wonder it cost $50 billion.

I'm getting a little tired of hearing about how the US speed skating team's uniforms are to blame for their less than stellar results in the competition.

*wonders if it's possible that some of the other countries are just better at speed skating than the US.

There was a very good article breaking down what happened to the US speedskating team - can't quite recall where I saw it, but it was making the point that at the very moment the men's team voted to switch back to their old uniforms, it was confirmation they had already mentally lost and nothing was going to save them going into the 1500. Just the fact that they were thinking about it was enough to defeat themselves mentally and knock them down by a couple tenths of points.

Then, of course, with the first failures happening in the early races, it was amping up the pressure on the rest of the team and it just snowballed from there. Momentum's a killer.

It's the same way with the Canadian men's figureskating team -- we've got umpteen world championships with the likes of Kurt Browning, Brian Orser, Elvis Stojko and Patrick Chan, to name a few, but come up short in the Olympics every single time with numerous silvers to show for it but no golds. The Japanese skater stumbled big time during his free skate so all Chan (the three-time defending world champion) had to do was to skate as he usually did, no superlative performance needed, and he choked.

But, back to speedskating... what a performance by the Dutch so far. 16 medals in speedskating, including three podium sweeps, and no other country has more than 2. The 10K is to come and the Dutch are expected to sweep the medals there as well. By comparison, the medals were all over the place in Vancouver - the Dutch had 7, the Koreans and Canadians both had 5, US and Germany both with 4, Czechs and Japanese 3, etc.

We'll never know if the uniforms made a difference for the US speed-skating team. At least not until UnderArmour spend the next year trying to rinse the stench of this flop off of itself.

The fact that neither Heather Richardson nor Brittany Bowe (ranked #1 and #2 in the world) were competitive in the women's 1000-m speed skating (won by a woman from China who wasn't ranked in the top tier, with the Dutch skaters second, third, and fifth, while the Americans finished 7th and 8th) makes it look like other nations did make technical improvements to their suits, while the US suits regressed.

But, really, the idea that the amped-up pressure, tied in to the fact that the skaters didn't like the new suits anyway, has been more responsible for the flop than the suits have been is certainly believable.

23. "Chan"
All I can say is that it looked like Chan was channeling Sasha Cohen's legendary chokes under pressure. I felt sorry for the poor guy.

I also feel sorry for Virtue and Moir. Honestly, I couldn't tell any difference between their performance and Davis and White's performance, either four years ago or now. Four years ago, I felt like Virtue and Moir benefitted by being from the host country, and I felt like this Olympics was in part a "make-up" for that.

L'Equipe's claim that a US judge and a Russian judge made a deal with regard to ice dancing and the team competition is hard to give any credence. But, when two pairs are as close as Virtue and Moir and Davis and White are, anything is possible. Of course, the fact that the two pairs train together makes the fact that they are international rivals ridiculous. But that's how psychotic the Olympics get.

26. "RE: Chan"
LAST EDITED ON 02-17-14 AT 10:10 PM (EST)

Yeah, I really couldn't tell much of a difference between these two in today's long program - they both looked terrific and were clearly better than everyone else. No beef at all with the judging for the long program and I was fine with Davis/White getting the gold based on today's performance.

It's the short program that was complete B.S. - several people said that Moir/Virtue were better than the Americans and there was a stronger visceral reaction from the coach (the same one who coached both teams) after Moir/Virtue's performance. Moir/Virtue were docked a point for their Finnstep move, even though the inventor of the move said that they did it better and the Americans were the ones who made a slightly larger error, and he thought the order of the standings for the short program should have been reversed.

That's judging for you; nothing new. Just the idea that there "could" be a collusion of some sort shows that the system is still broken. I don't know enough about ice dance to be able to tell who didn't do a certain move perfectly, so I'm just relying on what unbiased 'experts' are saying.

ETA: Take it with a large grain of salt as it's biased coming from a Toronto writer, but here you go - a bit of an inside look at the judging:

27. "RE: Chan"
The real point is that judging, even by experts, even by the inventor of the move(s), is basically subjective. So arguments are largely moot as to which among the top 2 (IMO the top 4) has the better performance.

For me the top two or seemed equally beautiful, but Davis and White had a little something extra in appearance and liquid flow. Charlie's appearance was (to me) like a mad Russian symphony leader with his wild hair, arm movements, and black outfits. He clearly (IMO) had the most entertaining appearance and performance. When most of them performed, I usually found my eyes drawn to the woman. Except when Davis and White performed, he drew the eyes.

The other American pair, the bro/sis act, I thought should have been placed higher, her high pony tail flopping during each of her moves was very attractive and added quite a bit to their performance. And I thought the Italians, in both the short and long programs were underscored.

I rely on Tara and Johnny for technical evaluation, so all that is left for me to evaluate is the emotional and subjective side of things. but even they were in some cases in disagreement with the judges based on the scores. Johnny was even a little petulant a few times with his disagreement.

20. "RE: Wot no discusson thread? _O_"
And now the cross races have started, my favourite events of the games, although six racers seems to be asking for trouble, shame about Zoe Gillings she was third in the semi, the Italian was nowhere, and then the Italian was six inches ahead at the line!


Still 9th in the Olympics is much better than I will ever achieve.

Poor Lindsey Jacobellis, having crashed out again to us casual viewers she will always be remembered for this

21. "Questions."
Does NBC receive a financial incentive every time they show Putin, or are there hostages involved?

Is there enough bleach left in the world to finish the whitewashing of these Games?

How's Uganda doing with their summer host bid?

I think Russia built a new bleach factory to help with the whitewashing.

32. "4 medals!"
The most we have ever won and if Elise Christie finally catches a bit of luck we may have five ;D

Jennifer Jones was incredible, all the way through the tourney without losing a game! Adelina Sotnikova was just beautiful on the ice, I must say that in my own amateur way I thought the judges got the positions correct (can't really comment on the scores) although I might have moved Asada above Lipnitskya and Wagner below Edmonds.

Ski Cross was great, even if the French swept the medals, the quarter final when all the chasers fell over was amazing. Canadias women did the country proud, although why they waited so long I don't know, even I who don't really understand Ice Hockey was glued to my seat.

35. "Entitlement gone insane"
Was I watching a different tournament?

As an uneducated observer I can only judge as I would Strictly (Dancing with the "Stars") which is to say, who was the most elegant? who was the smoothest? whose tricks went well? and most importantly who made me smile?

And IMO the top three was correct, I was barely breathing watching Adelina Sotnikova she was just so graceful, Lipnitskaia was also wonderful to watch and deserved her place despite falling over, Gracie Gold was great, but just an hair less impressive than the top three, Ashley Wagner might whine but she was way overplaced, I thought she was easily outskated by Polina Edmunds and didn't deserve a top ten place.

Considering the falls and stumbles, I would have put the Italian girl in first place, her routine was exquisite. But the Russians and the Korean Girl talentwise were really heads and shoulders above the others based on what I can observe (the non-technical stuff) and I was disappointed that they couldn’t skate clean.

I agree about the Americans. I pity whoever Ashley marries. What a whiner. But I do agree with her statement that a clean skate should earn more points than one in which the skater falls, and especially when there are multiple falls and stumbles.

Between the Russians and the Korean girl, I would have given it to the Korean girl.

Sh!t just got real - the stakes for the men's Canada vs. USA game tomorrow (Friday) just got really huge. Medal, shmedal ... I think this is even more important than getting to advance to the gold medal game.

Actual billboard seen in Chicago:



ETA: A poll on Canoe.ca asked,

Would you wager Justin Bieber's nationality on the outcome of Friday's Canada-USA game?

The result?

Ouch.

Until I saw that billboard, I wasn't that worried about the game, but now...GO USA



I would love to see Bieber gone! Too bad it's just a joke.

38. "And Canada men's hockey goes to final!"
Canadians win 1-0 in a tough defensive match, with saves by the Canadian goalkeeper as the U.S. putting on constant pressure in the 3rd period.

Whew! That was nerve-wracking.

So... shall I pack up the rest of The Biebs' stuff and drop it off at the border? I'm just 20 minutes away from his childhood home, and it would be my great pleasure to get rid of whatever leftover stuff there is that belongs to him.

Are you across the border from Detroit?

Hobbes might not take it too well, but Detroit might be good. But there are places in there where you could drop the Biebs and do everyone a favor.

Of course, it's hard to score goals when these apparently are the Swedish team's hockey sticks:


Earlier today, this was everywhere ... great advertising by Molson, btw:

48. "Rask"
LAST EDITED ON 03-10-14 AT 04:37 PM (EST)

The US loss in the bronze-medal final was all about Tuukka Rask, the Finnish (and Boston Bruins) goalie. In the round-robin, Rask played great and Canada won in a shootout (which is how Sweden got the top seed instead of Canada). Then Rask shut out the Russians, eliminating them. But then he got sick and didn't play in the second match against Canada, which gave the Canadians a gold-plated path to the finals.

He came back for the bronze, altough he was still supposed to be sick. When the US couldn't score on him, they started taking chances. As the final score shows, the chances didn't pay off.
