Do we have any goddam golds yet?

17 year old Red Gerard got us the first gold. Steroid users from Russia don't have any golds yet.

The wife and I watched some last night. The figure skating was kinda incredible - however I must not understand how 3 skaters can have near flawless routines and STILL not get more points than a Russian that was falling and stumbling.

The snowboarding has been fun to watch - those girls last night got some serious air.

Yeah - i think most fell on their ass on that last jump.

Curling was good last night - anytime Canada is on then it's almost must-watch tv. Shame that NBC broke away from the semifinal with 3 of the 8 ends still to play and with the issue in doubt. NBC has never been good at showing the Olympics, especially when the time zones are far apart.

If you use the NBC Sports app + Chromecast (or Roku probably) they have live streams dedicated to individual events.

I have a Firestick and DirecTV Now - there's only 2 channels. You think broadcasters would figure out how to show the most events it could. IIRC, during the London Games, there was an app on Roku that allowed for that.

There's actually an Olympics channel which doesn't show any of the events (how stupid is that?).

That chick from Kazakhstan got screwed. The front flip should have won her the gold. I think they vote a little based on hotness.

I watch the sh1t daily because I am in a close time zone

But I have to watch on Korean TV because Thailand doesn’t give 2 fvcks about no Winter Olympics

I thought so as well. The Japanese and French did well (you know, except for the falling down part).

I was actually pointing out that Thailand doesn’t do winter sports

You have a daughter so you get a pass for the thinking figure skating is a sport....

There was, and still is now.

I'll have to see if there's on on Firestick.


Edit - There is no app. but I can install a Kodi add on.

Mixed doubles curling is awesome - the Canadian chick is pretty cute. Although I was waiting for her partner to absolutely rip her a new one for botching shot after shot (to be fair she did nail the last shot before NBC lost interest and cut away)...

The Canadian guy is a legend, he was vice-skip on the Gold medal team in 2010. He had some shots last night, especially when he delivers it with a lot of speed and tries to knock out multiple stones, that were awesome. To her defense, she comes from a whole slew of winning teams as well. She was just having a bad day until end 5. And yes, then NBC lost interest and stopped showing what was still a great match.

The fact you know all that curling terminology is a bit...

There's nothing nerdy about curling - you need to be asking yourself why you don't know more about curling.

Watching this biathlon is amazing. Dude from France skies his ass off, then drops 5/5 targets in about 10 seconds. And he’s about 35 seconds ahead of the rest of the field....

I don't know more about curling for the same reason I don't know more about NASCAR and bowling

Biathlon would be so much better if they cut out the skiing.

I’m in favor of a summer biathlon with these rules:

1. Women only
2. Swimming and shooting are the two sports
3. Suit must be two piece
4. Weapons full auto
5. AK-47s only
6. Shooting scores compiled by a panel of male judges based on style; accuracy is of no concern
