Ski jumping on small hill will be a wind lottery, point difference is minimal, so any wind compensation could determine a winner.

Let's be honest - it's time to get rid of the small hill alltogether isn't it? Relic of the past. And why the women jump only that these olympic games is beyond me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hokQURwHO4

Nice.

I won't personally be boycotting the Olympics (I'm a sports addict), but I support all those who wish to, and also those who will be protesting in any form or capacity in Sochi, Russia or worldwide.

Channel 4 in the UK who will be hosting the Winter Paralympics are also using a rainbow logo tomorrow, although I think they should use it for the whole duration of the Olympics & Paralympics.

Guardian - Channel 4 Rainbow logo.

Your link no longer works - so incase anyone missed it, here is Channel 4's "Gay Mountain" advertisement that will be shown during the rerun of the opening ceremony tonight:

Yeah, small hills are rare, every new hill is at least 120 m, so I wouldn't mind removing it from the OI. But IOC is run by dinosaurs...

And our jumpers are much better on large hills

If you click the google doodle you get this:

is google trolling russia?

 

[Clydefrog]

If I knew how to do it, I'd add my own sound effects to the olympic events as they occurred.

wish I had some sort of knowledge to put that on youtube

Disappointingly there's no non-Mario official olympic videogame, bas as they always are I always enjoy goofing about in replicated official venues, so Wii U is the only Sochi-certified console.

Goodlist. Except, what are Surrogates and Tears of the Sun doing there? I like Bruce Willis more than most, but .. no.

The bobsled is going to be difficult considering everything in Sochi is straight.

LOL, nicely done.

NBC is actually streaming everything live except for the opening ceremonies.
You just need a cable sub, which sucks, but still. Better than previous years.

Didn't know this. At least it's a step up.

Heyo! Curling is awesome!

Curling is one of those sports I expected to hate, but I had fun the few times I watched it.

its the curling curve. Hipster interest at first, then a certain enjoyment in the simplicity and ease of watch, then a pure enjoyment, then full blown enthusiasm and evangelism. Curling is a religion. Curling is divinity. Curling is the holy trinity.

List Creator must have been a Bruce Willis fan.

Live coverage of the opening ceremony starting now on BBC2 in the UK.

Hopefully Tatu decide to fake-lesbian it up for shits and giggles.

 

[NH Apache]

Can anyone link me to the following on this nbc shit site:

1. Schedule of streaming events

2. I see that USA women's hockey played Finland this morning. According to this thread, everything is streamed, can I see the game on demand? or the result?

3. There is luge on right now, but I can't figure out how to see the nbc stream..


This isn't the first time I've used the internet, why is this site so awful?

Ok, this is how fucked the site is.

I go to the site http://www.nbcolympics.com/

I choose results and schedules

Today is friday. I choose Friday.

This is what I see:

So I'm think, that's a bit weird that Luge is happening during the opening ceremony. And I'd really like to see a replay of the USA women's hockey team game.

Search the entire site, can't find shit.

Check google and lo and behold:

The game isn't until tomorrow.

These little things drive me insane.

 

[Perspicacity]

[Drazgul]

Watching on CBC in America, posting on GAF from my PS4. So good. Let's start the show

 

[Parch]

It is the pinnacle of weirdness for an Olympic sport imo, which is what makes it even cooler in my eyes

I curled for 17 years. Pretty damn good at it too.

In Canada curling is a widespread recreational sport. Like bowling. There are clubs in most every city and town. Not sure what the numbers are now, but when I was playing there were over a million Canadians that curled.
