The roadway and railway built to make travel from the city to the mountains easier cost more than the entire Vancouver Olympics.


So I was reading about this and the roadway/railway system going up to the mountains cost $9.1 billion.

Slopestyle has been really fun so far. The second heat of the men's competition was amazing and in no way like the .gif above from the women's heat 1.

Was this gif from before or after they redid part of the course? No wonder they said it felt like falling off of a building. Holy....
A lesson without pain is meaningless. That's because no one can gain without sacrificing something. But by enduring that pain and overcoming it, he shall obtain a powerful, unmatched heart. A fullmetal heart.

They were talking about how there are a number of female athletes pushing to have a different Slopestyle course for Men and Women. The difference in weight is a big concern with the height and location of where the women are landing on a lot of these courses, not just Sochi.

Probably isn't a bad idea.

I refuse to believe that they don't just make up how many points each maneuver is worth on the fly for this shit.
