Still no Tetris. Forget about corruption and human rights, WHERE IS TETRIS?

 

[nny]

Thank you for the Olympics and the yogurt, Greece.

 

[Peru]

Those feels

 

[Fuzzy]

Holy fuck CBC, can you go more than 5 minutes before cutting to commercials again?

They're trying to make as much money as they can before we start ignoring them again outside of HNiC.

The weird thing about the winter olympics is that you don't actually use the main stadium for anything other than the ceremonies.

 

[djplaeskool]

Pyeongchang got next

 

[Y2Kev]

Sochi mayor sucks at flag waving

Can a country only host the olympics once?

 

[jokkir]

Can a country only host the olympics once?

What?

 

[Oersted]

Can a country only host the olympics once?

Nope.

Edit: As far as I recall London hosted them 3times already.

 

[djplaeskool]

Every once in a while.
You'll typically see 10+ years before a country will campaign in earnest for another games.

Opera needs to be more popular. No kidding.

 

[lazybones18]

saving the K-Pop for the 2018 Opening Ceremonies?

 

[criesofthepast]

So these games will be the greatest financial disaster ever, right? A lot of empty stadiums. Village looked like a ghost town.

 

[djplaeskool]

They must have LED fibers in those wings or something.
That luminescent effect is trippy.

Has been held in avtual venues before

If they don't get torn down, most stadiums end up as ghosts. Look up China.

 

[Kazerei]

You know what would be great for the Pyeongchang opening ceremony? People dressed up as Starcraft units and portraying a match.

 

[Topsu]

Personally I can't wait for North Koreas undoubtedly hilarious propaganda about South's Olympics!

Sochi's place will turn into a shopping mall. And if some countries were smart they would convert the venues into other places too like the Us did.

BTW

Anyone know who this lady is and what she is singing?

ahahah Maybe they'll try and add it as a Winter sport (if you can't go outside, stay in and play).

 

[djplaeskool]

GG Sochi.

Maybe down the road it would pay off if they really do convert Sochi into Russia's hot vacation spot like putin wants

Arirang

"Your games were warm..."

heh

 

[Peru]

Some of the indoor arenas are actually temporary structures so they've planned some of these things decently. Mountain slopes could be popular.

Is that it? The feed just cut out.

No, flame's still not out

 

[Kazerei]

"Your games were warm..."

heh

Literally

 

[PjotrStroganov]

Yeah, it was the clown marathon.

The mental image of this really got me. Thanks for the laugh!

Apparently one of the arenas is being moved(!?) to London after the games, due ot be sold off to a British company

 

[Y2Kev]

I heard the Ice Cube Curling Center will be dismantled and moved to England after the Games.

In Soviet Russia bears have human skin rugs.
