So the guy that crashed into the Canadian gets DQed and the Canadian gets a DNF.........this is crazier than short track

Same happened to the Swiss that got taken down hardcore in the quarters :lol

 

[Madness]

Honestly, snowboarding has really become my favorite thing to watch at these Olympics. The slopestyle, the half-pipe, now the border cross. Sucks for Canada that we don't have anyone in the final.

 

[BigJonsson]

Holy crap

 

[The Last Emperor]

Wow hahAhaaha

This dude crashed and still made it

Visintin went down hard holy shit

 

[zroid]

This sport is more lottery than race, lol. Unless you've got board hacks like Olyunin

 

[firehawk12]

Snowboard Cross is so ridiculous. lol

It's one of only what - four (?) sports in the entire winter olympics where athletes compete over a shared space. Which makes one of the few that truly matter, as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Smiley90]

Cross-sports have been so much fun to watch ever since they got included in the Olympics. So much frantic action going on all the time. You're never out or safe.

 

[The Last Emperor]

Yea that visitin dude went down in a bad way

 

[BravestOrphan]

both cross events and both of the slope style events are my favorites

 

[zroid]

Hill should try to take out Eguibar here

Spoiler

/salt

 

[BigJonsson]

Fog rolls in just in time for the final lol

 

[criesofthepast]

There goes one. Lol this is crazy with the fog.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Didn't Bolton already just break his wrist?

Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

 

[PhantomZone]

I found it hilarious when Australia's main medal chance crashed out.... really made a mockery of our local network's constant promotion of him in recent weeks.

 

[Brashnir]

Man, that double by the brits to end the curling tiebreaker.

balls of steel.

 

[Ulumsk]

Amateur curling teams won't cut it anymore. Needs more funding.

Dat stone by the Scots/Team GB though...

 

[BigJonsson]

His board boosts ran out

 

[Madness]

Damn, the French do it again. Try and get as many people in the final. Got a Bronze in women's, Gold in men's now and almost had a Bronze again as well.

 

[questionmark]

Fucking Italian

 

[zroid]

holy shit Murdoch's double for the win

BEAST

The Canadian amateurs tend to do alright

 

[lazybones18]

That Snowboard Cross competition....holy shit that was ridiculous

 

[Dr.Acula]

What's the point of the "small final?"

 

[zroid]

What's the point of the "small final?"

just so a top 10 can be ranked. they do the same thing in short track.

 

[SecretMoblin]

sucks that norway had to go, but that was a great game


rise, sweden, now is your time

 

[kottila]

sucks that norway had to go, but that was a great game

was a good game until we started fucking up the simplest stones. We have played so bad in the round robin that we didn't really deserve a semi

 

[criesofthepast]

Fucking Italian

No idea to whom you are referring to but...

 

[Brashnir]

Can't ski. Too much snow.

 

[BravestOrphan]

I think they were saying fog was the main reason but ya weather.

 

[Oersted]

Are other media outlets also so obsessed with Vanessa Mae starting?

 

[DrM]

Ended 74th, last of all

74 87 THA Vanessa VANAKORN 1:44.86 +26.98

73rd had +19.15 for comparison

 

[Smiley90]

Great run by Gut, finally. Should allow her to move up a few spaces, especially with the weather getting worse and worse.

 

[Elvin Atombender]

This giant slalom turned into a bit of a lottery.

 

[BravestOrphan]

Maltais with the Olympic record in the 1000m

 

[Juicy Bob]

BREAKING: Britain's Elise Christie wins a speed skating heat without taking everyone out or being disqualified.

 

[systemfehler]

Austria getting hammered by Slovenia in skiing and hockey by Slovenia. We surrender

 

[DrM]

Another gold for Maze. She deserved it.

It will be interesting to read Austrian media now

She scared her opposition into staying 50 meters behind her.

 

[DrM]

Biathlon delayed again

 

[Madness]

I bet the South Koreans are kicking themselves for letting Victor An go to the Russians though.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Hamelin fell again!

Again his own fault.

 

[Slayerx]

Canada gaf post if you are ok.

 

[Madness]

It's official now, Charles Hamelin is ridiculous. Who the fuck falls so much on their own, at the Olympics no less. This is like junior level mistakes. Most only fall if someone nudges them.

Hamelin has fallen twice at the same spot now, his brother fell too. All on their own. Wtf is this.

 

[Big-E]

Hamelin choking again. Was that the same spot as his last fall? I think it was.

 

[BravestOrphan]

wow Hamelin, just, wow.

 

[Big-E]

Hamelin could have had one of the all time great performances from a Canadian. Could have ended up with 4 medals. Gold go to this guys head or something?

B-bu-but ice was bad

Weak excuse after his first fall, let's see if he'll take responsibility this time.

 

[SecretMoblin]

yas biathlon is on!!!

in the snow is how it's supposed to be done, this is already great

 

[Big-E]

Something about Canadian men and skates tends to lead to choking. Patrick Chan has done it pretty hard. Jeremy Wotherspoon was another one who choked badly.

 

[Pedrito]

Shooting will be fun in this weather.
