The XXII Sochi Winter Olympic Games / Ski And Skate Against Hate

I was thinking about this yesterday when they were interviewing the Dufour Lapointe sisters on cbc and they were saying how proud they were to have the flag raised and hear the anthem and all I could think was I wonder what they would say if they were quebec nationalists?
I feel that's more of an older generation thing...
The flag thing is always very akward in Québec.
I think few of these athletes are hardcore nationalists because they've been competing across Canada since they were kids, are friends with other canadians and travel around the world representing Canada. Most probably don't give a shit.

Even crazier was smeekins was the gold medal winner then they adjusted his time and mullder became the champion. I'm utterly shocked that with all of the technological shit nowadays they would actually go and manually look to make sure times are adjusted.
Perhaps but I have a number of friends here in Manitoba who are ex Quebecers in their 30s and consider themselves nationalists. Is a big part of why the question came to my mind.
Still dominant.
We need more spies over there to find out their secret, because they've had that sport figured out for decades.

parental upbringing also has something big to do with it too. Ask your friends what their parents think and the answer is right there

Johan Olav koss was always such a boss.
Once a 200km natural ice skating tour is the biggest event of the year (if it takes place) in your country you can talk again.

Canada would be lost without Quebec. We must bow to our Quebecois overlords.
They gave us poutine, grade A+++ women with sexy accents, and winter Olympic dominance. We can forgive them for the Habs. We must bow.

Only in Canada. Would the US care if their gold medalists were from California or NY? We're all Canadians.

Don't know if anyone's shared this yet: A Sports Illustrated cover from 1984 when the Soviet Union boycotted the Olympics in Los Angeles.

don't forget the best Canadian Prime-Minister in the universe = Jean Chretien.
Did he consult with spirit of his dead dog? Then he's got nothing on Mackenzie King and you know it.
Womens Curling, Korea vs. Japan at 12 am eastern tonight.
I wanna see this but CTV will definitely show women's Canadian curling instead. And NBC television is fucking useless.
Although there's an official internet stream by NBC. But idk if they'll show it there, I can't find a schedule, besides the ones for the TV channels.

Bookmark this page. As it gets closer to game time, they'll update the page with corresponding stream links/matches. They streamed all of the curling events last night.

Yeah, they're scheduled to play at the same time. Today TSN was showing a lot of curling that didn't involve Canada, but if that Korea/Japan game is parallel to the Canadian women's game, the best you're going to get is highlights or maybe an end or two if Jones wraps up her match early.

So awesome seeing Bilodeau take gold again. Glad to see my country on top.
NBC has separate live streams for every event.
The color commentator on NBC is hilarious,he is so much into it,screaming his head off lol...not sure he will make it till the end...

Just heard the Kazakh who finished 5th in men moguls barely has money to buy skis. And where he trains, he has to climb the moutains on foot because there is no mechanical ski-lift. That's amazing.
Not this shit.
Hehehe
Not this shit.
Smh
It's not that there's no chairlift, it's that he doesn't have money to buy chairlift tickets.
Also Alex Bilodeau gave hime skis in the past to help him.

They should give that motherfucker a platinum medal. That's the stuff real champions are made of.
