Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics thread

One of the pieces didn't work

Billions of Chinese are laughing uncontrollably.

The mind boggling failure to show a close up of Ms. Sweden every 30 seconds or so is the one that stands out the most to me.

There was a lot of talent during the introductions. Or they just filtered most of the bad ones out. :lolabove:

Saw a facebook comment that the opening ceremony had a Spinal Tap moment for the torch lighting.

 

[FO.CO. VOL FAN]

I'm definitely looking forward to curling, biathalon, and speed skating the most!

And the opening ceremony was a major fail last night.

Did not watch. Sounds like I missed a good laugh.

They only thing laughable was not having national treasure Alan Thicke sing & light the torch.

one athlete dead
a torch lighting ceremony better suited to a high school homecoming game
not nearly enough snow on the slopes
Lindsey Vonn injured
Steve Nash?

The running commentary from BPV and b'ham in this thread was awesome.

And the opening ceremony was a major fail last night.

WTF do you expect from Canada? All they have is a leaf and half of a waterfall.

That is an understatement. That looked effortless

His acceleration is so much better than everyone else, it's almost a cartoon. They need quirky DQs and crap to make this competitive or he'd hammer some Koreans.

The Ohno race was comical.

I wish they would tell what time his final heat is.

 

[Gcrop]

Ohno about to race again.

 

[dembewbs]

Go Apolo!!!

 

[Gcrop]

2 Americans in the final race for the 1500m speed skating.

 

[Gcrop]

LOL at the Koreans!!

 

[utvol0427]

Silly Koreans. I laughed when they wiped out. Good to see two Americans win medals.

No kidding. I am not a big fan of the sport but it looks like it would wear you out.

That Chloe girl (Canadian in the lead) looks like she would be cute but it is hard to tell.

Nice run by the mogul girls. Great job.

 

[Gcrop]

Americans won the medals but the Canadians had the better looking girls. lol

I don't see how the knees can take that kind of wear.
