Will watch for Queen Yuna to be flawless again.

I like this helmet, which country does he/she represent

 

[Kaisersalsek]

Argggh just came back from a week snowboarding and shredding it up - winter Olympics is like some kind of sick torture /cry

 

[DarkFlow]

So when does heat 2 start?

 

[questionmark]

So when does heat 2 start?

~20 minutes I believe.

 

[Dead Man]

Channel 10's coverage here in Australia will be piss poor, you can count on it.

Indeed. The website is shit, the tv coverage will be shit, and the streaming will be terrible. Can't say enough bad things about Winter Olympics coverage in Australia. It has been terrible since TV started. Unless you like figure skating. Then they seem to cover every single event perfectly. Well, the last mob did, but I doubt 10 will be veering too far away from that.

Makes the decision to not watch most of it even easier.

 

[DarkFlow]

~20 minutes I believe.

lol That's the whole reason I'm staying up to watch it.

 

[bkw]

Canada (John Fairbairn)

 

[Brinbe]

I will watch all of it.

 

[questionmark]

Heat 2 starting now. Go SIlje.

 

[questionmark]

What the fuck is she doing?

 

[DarkFlow]

Womp, well at least it's only her first run.

 

[Jake.]

channel 10 just had a bunch of cricket clowns on their winter olympic show for some insane reason. also an australian snowboard commentator said one of the NZ female snowboarders was "leaning back like fat joe" which was the best single thing i've ever heard a commentator say.

 

[Psychotext]

staying up

Indeed.

 

[DarkFlow]

Indeed.

 

[3Sixty]

If this is the caliber of woman who snowboard i need to take up snowboarding.

 

[Wes]

I can't wait to get hooked to Curling again.

 

[questionmark]

edit: Here are the complete results from the men and women's slopestyle qualifier. The ones in green were the 4 best in their heat and are directly qualified to the finals, while the ones in white will have qualify through the semifinals. The 4 best from the semifinals will qualify.

Scandinavia and Canada dominating the mens final roster so far. Looking at the list, dropping the heats and simply having the best 8 qualify directly to the finals might be a better way of doing it, imo. Then having the semifinals to decide the four final contestants.

Mmmmm I love the Olympics

 

[Nicktendo86]

FYI android users there is a new Sochi Olympics google now card with medal table, upcoming events etc. Not sure if part of the new google search update or not but is very cool.

 

[purg3]

Can't wait for Men's Hockey. Crosby is going to dominate.

 

[Atrophis]

Can we get |OT| added to the thread title?

 

[ag-my001]

Thank you for the first pic in the OP. Went to the NBC site to look up curling times, entered a world where web pages take five seconds to scroll after you move the mouse wheel. I can't even find any videos that could explain it, I'll just assume NBC is continuing on their ridiculousness from last time.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Thread needs more ED LEIGH.

Damn that poor girl looked like she almost broke her arm on that fall.

For those that missed it:

 

[TCRS]

yes please. it's irritating without the |OT|.

 

[Silexx]

I just found out today who is representing Canada in curling today. Was surprised to see Brad Jacobs, but he's been solid so he should do us proud.

 

[tino]

Where are the toilet pics?

 

[jl4855]

all hail the parrot!

 

[BertramCooper]

Always sucks when the time difference is so huge, but I'll do my best to keep up with the proceedings.

 

[Jakeh111]

Cant wait for Mens Hockey, shits gonna get real!

 

[Entropia]

Haven't watched today's events but on Saturday as soon as I'm awake it'll be nothing but Olympics.

 

[MMBosstones86]

same here. It's always a hard choice between following the events live, or watching them on the broadcast later in the evening.

 

[Cheddahz]

I always watch the Olympics, but this year...I just feel uneasy watching them, but I still want to support our athletes

 

[Atrophis]

Cant wait for Mens Hockey, shits gonna get real!

Hockey puck replaced with curling stone this year. Gonna be wild!

 

[shadowkat]

Subbed. The time difference will make it rough but I will support our athletes despite the stupidness that surrounds these games.

 

[HerbertFish]

Are the games online streamed anywhere official? US here, preferably Englush.

 

[Jakeh111]

You're under the mercy of the nbc overlords muhahahahahaha

Freestyle moguls qualification now.

 

[Porcile]

<3 Figure skating. I'm looking forward to Evgeni Plushenko :-D

 

[lazybones18]

So glad I live in Michigan so I can watch the Opening/Closing Ceremonies live on CBC

 

[Delicious Waffles]

So much speed skating. This makes me happy.

 

[NH Apache]

NBCOlympics.com is such a piece of shit site. I'm trying to look up two female skiers that went to my high school and the sort doesn't function at all. The second I scroll down, everything resets.

http://www.nbcolympics.com/athletes/

The streaming site is total shit too. I cannot see a schedule of what they will be streaming. Do they not test this stuff at all?

 

[Won]

Women's ski jumping at the olympics at last.

Haven't followed any winter sport recently so I will look forward seeing athletes soar through the air, race down hills and scrub floors like champions.

I just hope nothing bad happens.

If your cable provider allows it, you can use NBC Live Extra.

NBC is just trying to give you an authentic Sochi Olympics experience.


CBC - Figure skating team event - men's, pairs' short (webcast) starting now.

NBC Live Extra. Need a cable subscription and almost everything is available live and also reruns.
