I watch all of the snowboarding and skiing (freestyle, slopestyle and half-pipe) Sometimes watch skeleton or luge because I can't imagine and the crashes are usually pretty cringe worthy. The other stuff I may have on tv but not paying as much attention.

Not that I'm a winter olympics historian, but from everything I've read this seems like one of the absolute worst choices of location for the winter olympics.


What have you read? I haven't really paid much attention but did hear of the bombings that were going on last month. That can't be good.

Sounds like they have picked up some US money management skills.

Just updated the app, slopestyle starts at 1a. This will not help my sleep issues.

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....

What am I watching why are they discussing the Cold War and the KGB on a stage somewhere I just want to see snow.


Come here, you can try boarding tomorrow ;)

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.

The olympics have been on for a total of 2 hours and 20 minutes and my daughter says, "I switched, I'm rooting for Canada now"

Yup, we're really patriotic around here. :P

Ouch.


:( any update on this person? I missed it, unless it is what will show later this evening. That doesn't look good at all.

Glad to hear it. I'm so paranoid since Caleb Moore died last year, really wish they wouldn't let them hop up after a head or neck injury.
