Canada may have defeated us today, but we showed the best teamwork!

Bobsleigh smashes into a course worker, breaking his legs

They`re fixing the lights in that photo because the guy was thrown 40 feet and hit the roof of the course.
dang.
That`s like getting hit by a car.

I don't know if that is funnier with or without the backstory.

A new sport tomorrow: Aerials. We may see a Chinese sweep, for a change.

Being in the US with no cable sucks. VPN doesn't work for me either.

This is relevant to my interests.

 

[coldvein]

is america winning the olympics?

 

[DrM]

No falls on last three training jumps on large hill. Snow turned into mush and workers are on it 24/7 to keep it as good as they can in 13° Celsius.

Men super combination downhill will begin one hour earlier

Patrick Chan has a 7 point buffer over third. He may not catch first, but as long as he doesn't fall he's probably guaranteed a medal tomorrow..

Saw this and laughed really hard(official Norwegian Olympic broadcast):

With our history in men's figure skating medal hopefuls, I have zero expectations

That means he's going to fall tomorrow. Chan always finds a way to screw it up.

Saw this and laughed really hard(official Norwegian Olympic broadcast):

They should have listed the medals for Finland (1), Denmark(0), and Iceland(0) as well.

Upper right corner . . . Norway has 4% of all the medals.

 

[Dr.Acula]

Saw this and laughed really hard(official Norwegian Olympic broadcast):

Is it because of the random "fuck you, Sweden" thrown in there?

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Is it because of the random "fuck you, Sweden" thrown in there?

Yeah, mostly because it was obvious from the start that they were going to beat Sweden. They decided to put it there anyway.

A new sport tomorrow: Aerials. We may see a Chinese sweep, for a change.

You mean new for these particular Games, or has Aerials been out of the games without me noticing, or am I just imagining Aerials ever being part of the Games?

Biathlon really is the greatest winter sport imo. Beautiful and exciting. Much more layered than cross-country skiing. If people haven't already done so, I strongly recommend you check out these events. Especially the mass-start and the relays. That said, I'm a little disappointed by the Norwegian biathletes so far. I can live without the medals, but not impressed by the effort from anyone but Bjørndalen and Berger so far. I seriously hope Svendsen and the ski... waxers?

Spoiler

Hva faen kalles de på Engelsk?

step up their game. Bjørndalens gold was fucking fantastic and all, but Svendsen is who I expect to be right up there, neck and neck with Fourcade. T. Bø also to some extent, but he's never really recovered his full form after his illness or injury.

 

[Linius]

So what's this crap, we got silver and bronze today? How can we celebrate not winning gold? We need to up our game!

At least the weekend is coming, I can finally see some stuff live again

Y'all pessimists! Chan the man can do it!

 

[criesofthepast]

I'm pessimistic about Chan as well. I've been pessimistic about Chan forever. My pessimism is usually good luck because I end up being wrong most times. Let's hope!

For a second there I thought she was holding a bow.
And now... I'd love to see Biathlon with bows instead of rifles.

That's... not a bad idea.

 

[Coldsnap]

So when is bobsled on NBC?

 

[Trojita]

When they showed the German Luge team, one of the girls had a fat bottom.

Unf

I nominate that for NHL-GAF GIFof the year. Yeah it's Sochi, but fuck it, nothing will top that,

It really has a little bit of everything

The fact that the player, no the ref, fell down and the push and sliding on his knees makes me laugh.

 

[Solo]

It reminds me of Plekanec literally rolling Kostitsyn off the ice a few years back.

 

[lamaroo]

Ha, they just played the Norwegian play by play from the hockey game on CBC. Man does that sound funny.

 

[BigJonsson]

I remember when Canada dominated aerials.......I guess slopestyle has usurped it

That's got to be one of the funniest gifs I've seen in months lol.

Why did nbc pristine waste the first hour on women's skeleton qualifying

I don't know, but I'm glad they did because it's the one event I missed in CBC's coverage today! We kinda sucked, though.

 

[MG310]

But Sarah Reid won best helmet at least.

 

[Parch]

Wow. Ski slopestyle is wild. Those guys fly. A lot better than board slopestyle.

It's terrifying to watch for me. I'm loving it.

 

[lenovox1]

Plushenko withdrawing and crowd falling to silence, then applauding is something to watch. And reading that he's retired. Devastating.

 

[Downhome]

Yep, watching now, so sad.

[Tamanon]

Good lord.

 

[FOOTE]

lol shit

 

[Judderman]

Oh fuck that looked painful.

 

[lenovox1]

God damnit, Jeremy Abbott. Phenomenal skater, but boy can he choke hard. Beautiful, aggressive round afterwards, though. Hopefully just a bruise so he can do his freeskate.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

Good for that dude to continue after that.

 

[Downhome]

Oh God, that fall...

This event is going awful so far.

 

[zroid]

Just saw Kevin Reynolds short program which I missed earlier. Fuckin' badass routine, such a shame he couldn't land those jumps.

edit: Brian Orser was completely flipping out during (and after) Hanyu's performance, haha
