2018 Winter Olympics - PyeongChang

[95 Vol Alum]

Starts this Thursday with Figure Skating. Opening ceremonies on Friday.

Hate the NHL players aren’t in this round but can’t fault the NHL given the parameters offered by the IOC.

USA beat Russians in mixed doubles curling. Not Russia, Russians. Whatever that means.

I believe certain athletes were allowed to compete under an Olympic banner, although they'll still be referred to as Russians.

Bad lead that last turn. They need this next match.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

US completely choked this match with South Korea. Not over yet but.....

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Absolutely awful. Korea trying to give them points and they fumble it.

So what’s everyone’s favorite winter sport? What events are you looking forward to?

I’m excited for hockey. And I like the short track speed skating.

 

[MphsBlues]

Half pipe, FTW

 

[95 Vol Alum]

I like the hockey and curling but will watch a lot of other events. Honestly, I'm conflicted over the Olympics because of the corrupt IOC and corrupt politicians who throw money at them while wrecking cities/countries.

Curling and luge. Pretty much like all of the events (minus figure skating)

I don't understand everyone's love for curling, it's about as exciting as speedwalking in the summer Olympics.

Strategy. Not just pure athletic skill.

 

[volfanbill]

I love the strategy of curling. Speed skating, bobsled, lots of different skiing events.

Thinking steps ahead is what makes it fun. If you enjoy chess you enjoy curling

Hate NBC

I've never pulled against an American but I'm pulling against Shani Davis for being a complete baby. Hoping he doesn't medal.

Yeah, that was how I was trying to describe it to my mother. I said its like bowling on ice, mixed with chess.

I hadn't heard that until I read your post and googled it. What an idiot as Clay Travis would say DBAP.

As a former ski bum my favorites are the downhill skiing events. Also like Hockey, speed skating, ski jump, bobsled, luge and curling.
