There's Hockey with commentary now on the NOS online stream. I'm sure the TV broadcast will switch to it eventually.

 

[joesmokey]

Seems you don't know what's on then - fun and drama every day. Halfpipe finals now. Watch some stuff you don't usually follow.

I definitely know what's on, though I should probably start watching less events that are based on judging.

 

[Blader]

Great run by Hannah Teter

 

[freshair]

c'mon USA women!

Show the men's team how it's done.

Yeah i switched to the stream as well. Absolutely hate how NOS is handling these Olympics.

 

[Parch]

Men's hockey is the elite event. Most of the prelims will be lopsided, but there's going to be some great hockey when we get to the quarters.

 

[Peru]

Tora with those heights on the mctwist... But then a fumble

Nice 1080

 

[PjotrStroganov]

I'm managing.

 

[krae_man]

I love how on the CBC website all the foreign athletes have passport photos for profile pics, yet all the Canadian athletes have professional modeling shots

Canadian passport photos with no smiling allowed too:lol

 

[Pedrito]

Halfpipe is almost unwatchable.

 

[perfectchaos007]

If Kelly Clark can throw down her 2nd run, the USA has a chance to sweep the podium. long way to go on that though, lets at least get a medal :/

They should have done the women's event first. This is a big downgrade from what the guys can do.

 

[freshair]

KAIIITTLLLLYYYNNNNN

 

[Peru]

Nice switch backside

 

[LanceVance]

Some hot women in the half pipe. Doing shit though, most are falling

If Americans can sweep, I'll be happy, but Bright, Castellet and Cai can upset.

Fall on their asses?

These final runs have mostly been great

Lol, same here.

That would save the disastrous US Olympics so far. Put us back in the medal hunt.

Really? Only the American has got into the top 3 in the final runs, most of the rest have fallen

 

[Knoxcore]

You would think they would be able to do just as well as men given they are smaller and lighter.

 

[The Last Emperor]

Dat figure skating score

Being heavier helps you gain speed and get more air

Lots of men and women falling because the halfpipe is shite

 

[Albino_Samurai]

Dat figure skating score

Their performance even gave me chills!

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Yeah i switched to the stream as well. Absolutely hate how NOS is handling these Olympics.

Really when I think about it everything but skating isn't live. It's a skating circlejerk for hours, then they show shit that happened during their circlejerk, and by the time it ends nothing is live anymore. You know your chauvinism has gone too far when even other chauvinists are getting sick of it.

We've almost reached NBC status.

Japanese girl as well, faves to come

 

[Slacker]

Japanese girl as well, faves to come

Torah Bright looked really good before she biffed.

 

[Parch]

Doesn't seem to be as much depth in women's halfpipe. Huge talent difference from the finalists and the rest of field.

 

[LanceVance]

Torah Bright looked really good before she biffed.

Torah will get the gold as long as she doesn't fall I think

 

[freshair]

two more runs!!!

 

[The Last Emperor]

These Russian skaters

 

[Solo]

C'mon. Don't bring that shit into here now.

I'll cease. Only brought it up in here because he drive-by trolled in the hockey thread before bailing.

Looking for another medal in figure skating pairs!

 

[perfectchaos007]

Will Torah Bright pull a Shawn White? Or will she pull through?

 

[freshair]

FUUU

excellent run by Torah.

No USA sweep

 

[Peru]

Scandal


Judges are blind

 

[perfectchaos007]

Torah Bright gets 2nd. No American Sweep, but Americans are guaranteed 2 medals including gold.

 

[LanceVance]

Ohhh so close! I thought Torah's run was better but then I'm not a professional judge haha

 

[Ulumsk]

Huh. I thought Bright had that in the bag.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Finally something for the USA to cheer about. 2 medals!

Scandal


Judges are blind

Yay for subjective sporting events!

Indeed. Its getting really ridiculous.

 

[zroid]

alright americans, you guys can stop bitching about your performance now

 

[Peru]

Torah moral winner

Nice 1080 tho still

Judges generally wack

 

[Wes]

Well done Kaitlyn.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Aww poor Teter got pushed off the podium.

1. Farrington
2. Bright
3. Clark
4. Teter

 

[Parch]

Fair result I suppose. Halfpipe seems incredibly hard to judge. Toss a coin for the medalists.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

alright americans, you guys can stop bitching about your performance now

Nah it's still embarrassing

 

[Kazerei]

Gratz Farrington on the gold! And Kelly Clark almost pulled a Shaun White but she managed a bronze!

 

[Ulumsk]

I don't like bitching about the judges without hearing their thoughts, but the US should be happy with the judges. A little similar to Katsenberg/Sandbech imo.
