I'm watching the women's figure skating short program. WB every one of them!
In past years, I think the girls were trying risky jumps, such that they flubbed up one or two jumps or spins in every routine. This year, the emphasis seems to be on making flawless routines. I like it better. The routines are absolutely lovely and graceful.
I love most events in the Winter Olympics generally. I'm looking forward to ski jumping, slolam, and speed events. I also love bobsled and luge.
Post all of your favorite performances here, and talk about all the other related Olympics issues, such as the Russian team suspension, or the combined Korean hockey team.

I was watching the couples skating last night. There was a married couple from the US that was very good. Then there was a couple where he was flamboyantly gay and she was actually more masculine than him facially. Finally, there was a couple that were brother and sister, who had been skating together since early childhood.
It was very interesting to see the different dynamics. With the married couple, there was a clear romantic component to their performance. Obviously this was not the case with the brother and sister, but they clearly trusted each other and could read each other very well to sync their movements together. It's strange that neither of these dynamics were present with the gay guy, but that couple was very talented and skilled as well.
All were good, but you could clearly see differences in their performances and body language due to the differences in their relationships.

Stoked for the mens hockey tournament. Couldn't care less about seeing NHLers for the umpteenth time. OAR clear favorites but anything can happen in a short tourney. Could see another Miracle on Ice. Excited to see Canada battle for a medal instead of gold or bust.
Medvedeva looks unbeatable after her SP. Teammate Zagitova could steal the spotlight as a 15 year old.
Looking forward to watching big air comp, speed skating mass start, Estonian flag bearer.

The fact that Russia is "OAR"....if they are allowed to participate just call them what they are.

Jamie Anderson, the chick snow boarder, is pretty impressive. Adam Rippon comes off as a whiny little bitch. You're gay and you don't like Mike Pence. We got that. It doesn't mean you have to prance around on NBC with a high-pitched voice like a drama queen and remind everyone how your mom raised you to stand up for what you believe in. Especially if what you believe in is using your lower intestinal tract as a sex organ, something it was not designed for. 2-to-1 this guy is a hairdresser in 3 years.

First the NFL, now this precious little thing. Are SJW's really going to do to sports what they've done to every other area of life? Bore everyone rigid by highlighting their victimhood status?

It really sucks not having NHL players. Canada/US us mens hockey teams have been handicapped these olympics.

I am watching LESS ice skating than I used to. WHY? Now that being gay and "out" among skaters is cool, the lispthing thing among male commentators is outta control. (It was OK before, when they were possibly closeted and I didn't have to think about their gay-ti-tude incessantly.)
WOW. Teenage girls aren't as ridiculous. It's too annoying. IT's gonna be like NFL-football - something I once enjoyed but no longer.

Rippon and Wier are annoying faggot drama queens. The female figure skaters are the sweeter and more feminine types as athletes go. It is just redicluous that the fags try to be even bigger girls and steal spotlights by shoving their bug chasing lifestyle in front of anyone. Oh, Rippon just went on record saying the condoms are boring at the games. Ain't nobody want to hear about your nasty tool being shoved up other men's buttocks. I'm cheering for him to land ass first on the ice. His pride and drama is embarrassing team USA.

She must have skating mixed up with bicycling! It barely ever snows in the Netherlands, and certainly doesn't freeze long enough to make ice that's safe to skate on.
That's chick is making shit up on the fly as bad as the ones reporting on politics, economics, and social issues!

I've never been less interested in the Winter Olympics than this time.
On the hype scale from 1 to 10, I'd rate it a -5.
Maybe it's the time difference that makes it difficult to watch the events, I don't know.
By the way, the women's snowboard slopestyle was a farce and should never have been allowed to happen under those conditions.

I enjoy winter olympics a lot. Possibly more than summer olympics, which have become too much of a spectacle with these manufactured mega stars.
I watched speed skating, which is really entertaining and long distance skating which is also very impressive. I am thinking I might take up long distance skating as a sport.
Luge was fairly boring.
Watched some of the women's skiing, the dicipline where they jump in addition to going downhill.
I don't think snowboarding really belongs in olympics.

Biathlon is my favourite, but I'm not sure how much longer there will be Olympic sports with firearms...
I fuckin' loathe the bullshit advertising that comes with the Olympics though. Nauseating.

Is that Dutch short-track skater who gets DQ'd all the time for flipping off the judges in this Olympics? He was one of the reasons why short-track was such an entertaining spectacle.
