LOL the American hockey team is so pathetic. They didn't even try.

 

[Cuddler]

Poor italians. Third fourth place today, and countless others during the games.

8 medals and 8 fourth place.

So 23 out of 24 Dutch medals come from speed skating. Well, congrats.

And the other one was from shorttrack skating.

 

[Cuddler]

You edited my quote! How dare you!!

Spoiler

I corrected now, lol

 

[Parch]

We got 23 out of 36 medals in speed skating.

Does that include the team events where they could only win 1 and not 3 medals?

It's actually really impressive. Some countries like Canada and US are fairly strong at speed skating, but man, it was a beatdown.

The performance of the Dutch skaters should be considered one of the most significant stories in olympic history.

 

[TCRS]

ha nice way to thank the helpers.

 

[Parch]

Russia has increased practically doubled their medal count from Vancouver and has gone from 3 golds to 11.

Big games from Russia, and it's all spread out over a lot of different events. The last few days have been really successful, although the Russian hockey team would be the one big disappointment.

And again little Norway has another solid games. Kinda like the Netherlands where they mostly specialize, but they sure rock those nordic events.

 

[Mattilaus]

23 out of 36 medals in speed skating but we should get rid of women's hockey cause the USA and Canada are just too dominant....

 

[Peru]

Nice routine by Gracie. Comedians on the ice now.

And again little Norway has another solid games. Kinda like the Netherlands where they mostly specialize, but they sure rock those nordic events.

Actually this was the OG where I and others thought we'd move plenty of golds in newer events, like the extreme sports, but the gold candidates in snowboard and freestyle failed or fell, for the most part. We've built another solid team in alpine now though and medaled in the range of events there. What's really lacking compared to before is speed skating and ski jump.

Regardless of what happens tomorrow, I kinda hope Jennifer Jones is chosen as the flagbearer. Dat undefeated run capping off an amazing career. She deserves it.

If not her then Marie-Philip Poulin or Shannon Zapdos.

[Hrothgar]

There is no woman's 4-man bobsled event?

 

[DrM]

Kostelic needs to go into hiding after this.

He probably will, because Ivica will probably end his career after this season. He is having some major health issues - thyroid related.

 

[Brinbe]

Ummm, ouch

 

[Parch]

Whoa! Canada crashes.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Holy shit

 

[zroid]

OH GOD

Canada 3 bobsled. AIIIIIIIIIIIII

 

[soepje]

Yikes, that crash

 

[PjotrStroganov]

Absurd crash by Canada.

 

[Prax]

At least they're all alive.

 

[Pedrito]

Sabotage!

Glad they're all okay.

 

[MeBecomingI]

Oh man... I'm so happy everyone is walking and seems ok. That crash could've easily broke some necks.

That was our strongest team too. Gah.

 

[Parch]

Why did Canada change drivers? He just crashed the bus.
At least they're all OK.

 

[Timbuktu]

It just bounced up.

 

[TCRS]

Adelinas turn now.

 

[MeBecomingI]

Why did Canada change drivers? He just crashed the bus.
At least they're all OK.

They wanted a really fast start. They got it and the driver was doing really well until the sled just kind of bounced.

 

[baekshi]

LOL fail

 

[Arjen]

Lol at the salt over our medals.

 

[Bollocks]

What's this skating event going on now? There's like a half dozen people on the ice!

 

[sphinx]

Does Patrick Chan sound like he took some french lessons for 2 or 3 months? or am I being too hard on him? dunno, that sounded weird.

he should have probably handed the mic to a russian so they could say the same words in russian, that would have actually made sense.

I never understand ski slalom... There's a bunch of flags, they go around some of them and ignore others... It all look so random.
