Anyone Watching The Olympics?

Is it me or does it seem like the vast majority of the prime time coverage is the women's events. Not complaining as there has been some excellent competition. but just seems like all women. There are some tough girls out there. That ski cross was interesting.

I'm glad Canada is winning their share of medals, haven't really noticed any favoritism. I think they are just motivated by the home crowds enthusiasm.

JB.

I like watching the gals. I can stare all I want and I don't get evil glares from the wife! LOL

On a more serious note...I'm glad to see Canada getting its share of the hometown gold. I think they've been doing a great job!

Did any of you stay up and watch the short track mens' relays last night? Man, 20 guys on the ice in close proximity going fast on 18" long razor blades!!! :eek: If that ain't an adrenalin rush, I don't know what is.:D


Sounds like roller derby but I dint watch it either

On the other hand I'd never though it would be cheering on the Canadian curling team.

Looks like the ladies are doing very well for Canada. Between this and last Olympics they have accounted for 70% of Canada's medals. Right now it is the 2nd intermission in the Canada vs. USA Women's Hockey Gold medal game with Canada ahead 2 to 0. At least both teams get a medal.

We've been watching quite a bit of the coverage. My favorite events are downhill and slalom skiing, bobsled, and speed skating. Especially short track.:thumbsup:
The coverage has been very good. The only negatives for me besides the commercials are Bob Costas and the woman that hosts the late night coverage. I have to change channels while she's on.

I was over at my Mom's yesterday and she asked what curling was. How do you explain curling to an 84 year old woman that's never seen it? Best I could come up with was a cross between shuffle board and chess........on ice.

Is tomorrow afternoon going to be fun or what? It'll be the Stanley Cup and Super Bowl all rolled into one. Game on!:thumbsup:

[/she asked what curling was.QUOTE]

Heck; that's easy. Just some old men gossiping while throwing some rocks around on the ice pond. Sometimes they may even have a nip or two to keep warm. :thumbsup::laughing:

Other fellars seem to get real serious though and complain if you spit on the ice!:(

Lucky we have had some rain on the west coast in the last couple of days. Wife and I have watched a fair amount of the Olympics. Pretty interesting how they get all the camera shots. Lots of thought and work went into that.
