I don't think I've seen NBC mention curling even once. Where are you guys watching it? On one of the cable channels, or online...?

Hanyu and Chan skating 3rd and 4th last.......this will be a while :lol

It's gonna be in the middle of the hockey game :<

Hah.... Alex Harvey blamed his skis again for his poor performance in cross country.... Color me surprised. /rolleyes.

He's basically the Alex Tagliani of cross-country skiing. (I doubt anybody outside of Québec will get that reference tho lol).

Now watch him back out of the relay because his teammates are not fast enough.

Chan has certainly proven his worth. Back-to-back-to-back world championship wins should give him the benefit of the doubt for the gold if he skates clean, and he`s got the routine to do it. It`s going to take a complete self destruct to get worse than silver.

I don't like the Live Extra. CBC' stream allows four videos at once, but NBC only does one. How do they not allow multiple videos at once? especially when there is 4-6 different events at the same time.

I don't know, I seem to remember being able to do it during the summer olympics, but cannot find such an option now :(

I`ve always said I`d be willing to try ski jumping and luge, but it would take some extra guts to give skeleton a shot.

Pretty sure I'll watch a medal win over the first period against hockey powerhouse Austria.

I'm with you man, Chan going for gold and Canada playing Austria...like there's no choice there, watch the figure skating, could be history making.

No Canadian male has ever won the gold at the Olympics. Fuck it's time! LET'S GO CHAN!!
 
Our biathletes have decided to suck balls this tournament, but whatever, it's time to stop caring about that and I'm digging what Domracheva's doing. Sympathetic girl, impressive beast mode.

Well our athletes have decided to suck balls in every sport in these olympics. One silver medal so far...

I find him an ugly skater, very robotic. Not graceful IMO.

Yes, he has a lot to improve upon in his skating and presentation. If he can get better at that stuff over the next four years, he might be a big threat in Korea, since his jumping abilities are very strong already.

Also even his hairstyle looks like Pit's, it's pretty amusing. :p

Needs ballet lessons or something, because he is the opposite of graceful.
Stojko went against the dance stereotype to go with a more martial arts type of movement, but this Reynolds kid is just awkward.

Right, another medal prospect. Terrifying, particularly given we lost out yesterday. C'mon, Yarnold!

(*A* medal would be huge for the country. While we've got a shot at it, I'm not banking on gold.)
