2022 Winter Olympics (Beijing, China)

[JCOSU86]

No thread on the snake-bit olympics? How many US athletes are going to fall? So far we have Shiffen (2x) and Gerard, anyone else? Then US women hockey get their asses kicked. Zhou gets Covid.

Ugh.

Chen looked good and so did Kim. Long way to go.

Now White falls in the half-pipe qualifying. And the other guy in it didn't do great.

KICKING ASS! :-(

I will say this - there are not enough Batman reboots

Most of this stuff just feels so made up and is so hard to watch.Mixed Aerials, I mean when the hell did that become a “sport”?

The idyllic dystopian hellscape backdrops don't help.

Watching US/China Hockey. Very apparent to see the naturalized citizenship rules were pretty lax for this tournament.

Just looked up the roster. They essentially took the KHL team based in Beijing (HC Kunlun Red Star) and made them the national team. One of the players is Chris Chelios' kid

Starting goalie, Jeremy Smith. Sure.

Hey, that's Shimisi Jieruimi to you.

Oh crap, someone is going to build a chinese olympic team name generator.

An excellent 24 hours for the US team. 3 golds (Kim, Jacobellis, Chen) and possibly a 4th if they disqualify the Russians in the Teams Figure Skating. Looks like the 15 year old greater-than-God female skater failed a drug test.


Imagine, a Russian failing a drug test.

Jacobellis is an interesting story. Her showboating cost her the gold medal in 2006 (Turin, Italy) and has been to every Olympics since without a gold. To her credit, she owned her fuck up and said it helped shape who she is. Glad to see her win.

 

[Jaxbuck]

Soooo, Olympics huh?

I might be a fan.

 

[FCollinsBuckeye]

I want to care, but I kinda don't. Lots of reasons not to.

I'm for our guys and gals, then maybe Canada, then whoever is against Russia and China. I never dreamed I would know as much about Curling as I do.

The Skeleton takes guts. I mean, one wrong move and you're going head-first into a wall and then living the rest of your life like AKAK.
