    2018 Winter Olympics - Pyeongchang, South Korea

    I was surprised there wasn't already a thread for this with the games already being underway.

    Let's discuss the various events, triumphs, failures, and anything else surrounding the games.

    I am currently watching the USA vs Norway in curling right now.

    Anyone see NK's cheerleaders during the hockey game last night? Fucking creepy, imo.

    Currently watching figure skating. A little ticked off with this nbc sports app. It says you can make it full screen and you can't. I want to watch the Luge and Skeleton competitions. Both look insanely scary.

    I've gotta say, I watched a bit of figure skating with the woman tonight and some more once she fell asleep and they're insane.

    How many of those women are a slip of man's hand away while they're flipping in the air only to be dropped, crack their head open on the ice from like 9 feet and die?

    Insanity.

    When does curling start? That's the thing I look forward to most. Largely because I think I could do it. But it's the best.

    Norway just won gold, silver, and bronze in skiathlon. The guy who won gold crashed early on in the race too. Major comeback win.

    What the heck, I searched olympics and somehow managed to make a thread not only about the same thing, but with THE SAME NAME. Lol.

    Mods: please feel free to move or combine or whatever.

    Havent watched any of it yet. I have 0 interest in the X games type events.

    Curling and Men's Hockey I will give a watch. Things like bobsled and luge are impressive but when watching I have no clue who s doing well or not well. Like I cannot tell the quality of the bobsled team if not for the clock. I will occasionally watch a run or two but then I realize I have no clue whats going on or what they are trying to do.

    Normally I watch what I can but just not had time to do so. I like watching the figure skating, hockey, bobsled, some of the skiing. I have tried to keep up as much as possible with stuff though.

    I feel like Shaun White has gotta be 50 at this point but he's 31.

    It's like when Tony Hawk was that old dude at the X Games. Except he never was.

    White’s final run was amazing. His reaction to seeing his score and realizing he won gold was fantastic. Everything good about the Olympics and sports in general.

    And I cried watching you watch your wife cry watching Shaun White cry.

    Also, you still haven't set the clock back on your microwave. Daylight savings was months ago!

    Well I suppose you are stuck with awful NBC coverage. I'm currently watching the Korean women square off against the Canadian women.

    You are really underrating the quality of jerking off in some of the countries that participate in the olympics.

    Russia gets banned from the Olympics as a country, so naturally a Russian CURLER gets busted for doping.

    IS NOTHING SACRED?

    Doping is always tied to training in some form or another. Maybe this guy needed it to keep up, maybe not. But he certainly felt so.

    I've never been as invested in figure skating as I was last night for the Ice Dance. Virtue and Moir have really captivated so much of the Canadian consciousness.

    Without the NHL players the men's side has lost a lot of interest from me.

    The women's final between the US and Canada should be exciting like it always is.

    Don't worry about Gilbert Brulé, Mason Raymond, Ben Scrivens and the rest of our immortal hockey team Smeagol. We're an Ice Dancing country now and the envy of the world.

    I totally forgot about Brule being on the team until I saw a game a few days ago. I'd just really like to see Russia lose and don't care who wins, just anyone else is OK with me.
