Yeah I agree that it does seem like a very specific narrative that they can support with numbers. I can only back it with personal experience.

I might just watch some of that cross country skiing after all...
Watching that American kid get gold in the snowboarding was cool
You are if you are watching this Russian curling chick
She is not Russian. She is an 'Olympic athlete from Russia'.
would-skiYou are if you are watching this Russian curling chick
there was french or canadian milf last go around that was haf.
she might be still doing it seeing as you can probably curl till you’re 80.

17 year old US chick just killed it in half pipe. Gold medal for the USA!
Actually UTMB does a great job of covering their 100 miler. It's not quite Tour de France level, but it's really good. They have drones, helicopters, a studio crew, cameras in the villages and running alongside people on parts of the trails. I'm not positive the race itself provided the coverage--maybe it was one of the ultra websites--but it was well done. I'm heading there this August and nervously excited about it.
Yeah I followed the 2017 race and the coverage was amazing.
Are you going to race? I’m super jealous haha
I haven't watched one second of the Olympics outside of the opening ceremonies, which by the way, was super lame. No one was even in the arena in the stands. It was almost totally vacant.
Anyway, how are we doing in medal count?

No idea. But Russia has a super hot curling chick.
These are someone's daughters, you bunch of misogynists. I am offended.
And for the record, Would, the North Korean chick.

That was an incredible run with an Olympic gold on the line. Just nuts. I'm not even that big of a snowboarding fan but that was insane
Same here; I don’t really know that the hell they’re talking about. Most of those flips look the same to me. But you can definitely tell he was money on that last run. Dude came through in the clutch.
Haha I love Shaun White.
"We fukkin did it"
Haha I'm so glad they caught that on live tv

i can’t wait for hockey...this ought to be interesting...and btw, if you’re slow to grab ontu, watching international is always a great place to start.
Well half of them look like they’re about 14, so let’s hope so. LOL.
White definitely killed it. I know nothing about the sport other than he is apparently THE MAN. Showed it on that last run. My wife was saying she didn’t think that it was that difficult when she saw it last night, but changed her tune when that dude bit it hard and got carted off. Then when White made that last run and soared about 20 feet up, she said that it definitely impressed her.
As for the other sports, I like some of the pairs skating just to see those dudes throw their ladies around like rag dolls and the the ladies nail a landing. Pretty impressive for both involved. Strength, coordination and skill are all required. Can’t help but be impressed.
I don’t get curling, but the Russian babe would definitely make me want to investigate it further.
I actually remember watching the US hockey team take down Russia back in then day and that got me excited about that sport somewhat. When they put the pros in, I didn’t watch much, but now I hear they are back to more ametuers so I may watch it.
My personal favorite is downhill skiing, though. To go that fast and have such a small window to not screw up is
But, like most everything else spots related here lately, athletes and news organizations making everything political has about killed it for me. No one cares who you are sleeping with or if you hate the president. We just want to enjoy the games without the political BS.
And before you liberals blast me, I would say the same to athletes who did the same with a Democrat in office. Keep it out of sports, please. Heck, there are enough opportunities to express your political beliefs without having to do it here.
Just my opinion

If they're 18+ then it doesn't matter how old they look.
Yes. It's taken four years to get through the lottery. Also took me four years to get into Western States. That's why I don't gamble/play the lottery. I'm not lucky at that sort of stuff.
what a joke usa hockey is becoming...we should battle canada for every world championship or olympic games.
slovenia beat us and now we’re battling slovakia to stay alive...i just don’t think we care...what a shame.
