There's a report out today the ski competition was so cold in China that a Finnish cross-country skier froze his you-know-what. That had to hurt....

Piss poor US performance so far. Tied with China in gold medals. Fourth in total medal count.

I saw Simone Biles on one of the morning shows sympathizing with the US female skiier who was supposed to bring home multiple medals but choked in every event.

Sometime in the past 20-30 years or so, we went from being a country that celebrates winners to a country that tolerates and runs cover for losers.

Plus didn’t we have a turncoat, American who skied for the Chicomms and won a gold medal for them? Would have told the bitch to stay there and not come back.

Her conduct needs to follow her around for the rest of her life, like Jane Fonda

The Chinese hockey teams were mostly Volksdeutsche also

Tied for our 4th best Winter Olympic performance, 2 more medals than the 2018 Korean Olympics.

If we just invent a few more X Games sports and get them added to the Olympics then we’ll clean up

Before the X Games events were added for Salt Lake City, the best USA medal haul was 13 total metals. This year was 14, non-X-Games Medals.

That’s why we should add more X Games events

Gotcha, I was on the decent Olympics train.

Kind of nice to see Finland win its first Gold in hockey this time around. The players will now be issued white uniforms, cross country skis and rifles for the next event...
