The Olympics Thread

[Aemma]

Hmm well I should be tooting our own horn, we are afterall hosting a winter games yet again in my glorious country, Canuckistan :P :D

This time the games are being held not in Calgary, Alberta but next door in beautiful Vancouver (and area), British Columbia.

So for those of you who do enjoy watching the winter games (which for me are ever so more exciting to watch than the summer games), is there a particular sport you like to watch?

Personally, I love watching all manner of alpine skiing and hockey (of course :rolleyes:). I used to enjoy watching some skating as well but not so much lately. I also enjoy watching cross-country skiing and biathlon, believe it or not. Oh and ski jumping is always great. Gods how I miss the days of Eddy the Eagle! (yep I'm dating myself there I think! :P)

Well, what do you hope to follow during these games?

[Jamt]

Forgive a maybe ignorant question Aemma, but isn’t Vancouver kind of rainy in winter?

[Eldritch]

I don't really have any interest in the Alpine events. Ski jumping is the shit for me. :thumb001:

Cross-country skiing, why not. Biathlon, certainly. And curling, believe it or not. :p

Hockey as well, of course, even though the Finnish team will suck as always. Finns are no good at team sports.

[Aemma]

Forgive a maybe ignorant question Aemma, but isn’t Vancouver kind of rainy in winter?

:) No it's a good and fair question Jamt. :) That's why I put in parentheses "and area" precisely because the city of Vancouver is quite rainy and doesn't get snow (usually). But since many venues can be housed in arenas and such, for instance figure skating, hockey, speed skating, curling and the like, the City of Vancouver can itself host these events. All activities requiring actual snow will be held in other venues of the lower mainland such as in Whistler (for instance, world class skiing and snowboarding). I'm not quite certain where the biathlon and other cross-country skiiing events will be held, but in the Whistler area I would think, as would the bobsledding, luge, and ski jumping.

Fair question though Jamt and a good one. Thanks! :)

Cheers!...Aemma :)

[Addergebroed]

And curling, believe it or not. :p



Is that actually an olympic sport?:eek:

[Eldritch]

Is that actually an olympic sport?:eek:

Oh yes, and a popular one too, especially in Canada. ;)

[Aemma]

Oh yes, and a popular one too, especially in Canada. ;)

LOL Ya rub it in Mod Brother! You know I find it as much fun to watch as paint drying. But in deference to you, I will pretend that it is an actual sport worthy of Olympic glory. LOL :P :D (Just teasing ya Eldritch ;))

[Motörhead Remember Me]

Hockey as well, of course, even though the Finnish team will suck as always.

As always? That's why Finland have come from "nowhere" to be in the final games for medals despite sucking at team sports?
Calgary, Lillehammer, Nagano and Torino.
You have to be fair, Finland is the smallest of the Big five (no USA, is not one of the big five) but still pops up regularly to claim medals.

[Motörhead Remember Me]

Anyway, talking 'bout sports I have a feeling that the games queen will be Finnish skier Aino-Kaisa Saarinen. I bet she will win at least 4 gold medals...

[Jamt]

The Finns are legendary for one thing and that is Lahtis cross country 2001.
:coffee:

[Allenson]

I love the Winter Olympics and am very much looking forward to watching the games. I grew up skiing and ski racing--so, that's surely my favorite part.

The hockey is great too, speed skating, ski jumping...ah hell, all of it!

That rascal Bode Miller grew up in the same area that I did....

Okay, perhaps sucking was not the right word. Let's go with perpetual and chronic under-achievement instead.

The Dutch will kick all of your asses at ice-skating! :):p

[Motörhead Remember Me]

Oh, that little incident...

A bit DDR'esque.

[Eldritch]

The Dutch will kick all of your asses at ice-skating! :):p

You guys invented ice skates after all, so anything less would be letting yourselves down. ;)

[Aemma]

The Dutch will kick all of your asses at ice-skating! :):p

YES!! I love watching the Dutch do their thing in this sport although we've had a few good French Canucks in various speed skating events lately that have given you guys some competition anyway. :thumb001:

Gotta love those legs though! WOW!!!! What beautiful gams! :pinklove:

[esaima]

Forgive a maybe ignorant question Aemma, but isn’t Vancouver kind of rainy in winter?
Maybe an ignorant remark as well but from "climatological" point of view some inner areas of Canada really sound me much more wintry than British Columbia.
But they do same in Russia-according to the average temperatures Sochi is one of the warmest places in Russia in winter.

So Canadian TV has chosen this song as their anthem as sung by a Montreal girl.

Teemu Selänne has been one of my favorite hockey players. He's really good to watch, and a great representation of Finnish talent.

I hope we repeat the success of Turin 2006 as the overall medal winner Nr.1. :clap2: Germany was always among the best countries in all past Winter Olympics.

I noticed Jamaica has one athlete at the Olympics. He's competing in pushing weed I guess.

[Klärchen]

I've just watched the Vancouver Opening Ceremony which was repeated on our TV. I've never seen such a beautiful and enchanting performance. Congratulations to Canada!!!

It is sad, however, that these Games are somewhat clouded by this terrible accident of the young Georgian luger. I wish the Georgian team all the best and good luck for the Games!

Yes very very tragic and this young Olympian was well remembered and respected during the opening ceremonies yesterday. Very very sad...

In the news yesterday they commented that the luge track is a very fast one. Apparently luge is generally a safe (enough) sport where lugers never get catapulted off the track themselves. But investigations by the RCMP as well as the IOC are apparently ongoing. Some lugers have apparently even commented that the track is too fast. :(

[Äike]

My favorite thing to watch is cross-country skiing, Estonians have talent in that. Estonia has always been successful in the winter Olympics, considering that the population is only 1.3 million, but we got more gold medals last time then countries like Norway, the UK or China.

[Grumpy Cat]

Well, what do you hope to follow during these games?

Snowboarding and hockey.

[Sol Invictus]

Alexandre Bilodeau won gold medal just minutes ago in Whistler, BC in Skiing (Moguls). He is the first Canadian Gold Medalist on Canadian soil.

Canada, fuck yeah!

Love the Winter Games! I've been watching quite a bit and I was glad to see that Canadian fellow finally bring home a gold. :)

The alpine ski racing events are my favorite by far and they are all still to come.

The girl who one the gold in the moguls is from my area as is that good ol' party boy himself, Bode. ;)

[Eldritch]

Well, the event everyone's been waiting for is finally underway: the men's ice hockey tournament.

Canada demolished Norway 8-0, the lackluster American team beat Switzerland 3-1. Team Finland plays Belarus tonite. :thumbs up

Go The Netherlands!
Go Denmark!
Go Zaire!

[nisse]

The events I enjoyed the most so far were ones I wasn't even aware of before :ohwell:

I really liked men's moguls, mens snowboard cross, and right now I'm really enjoying half-pipe...I feel all sporty now...may be I should learn to ski or snowboard :D

Congrats to the two young Dutch women as well who got silver and bronze respectively. Kristina Groves from my hometown was a close 4th. An amazing skate for her as well. 'Grats to all!



Christine Nesbitt wins gold in speed skating thriller



February 18, 2010
Jim Byers


VANCOUVER— Christine Nesbitt looked stunned. The crowd looked ecstatic.

Nesbitt won a gold medal Thursday in the women's 1000-metre speed skating event, giving Canada its third gold of the Vancouver/Whistler Winter Olympics and seventh overall.

Nesbitt, who lives in London, Ontario, got out to a solid if unspectacular start but cranked it up down the stretch. She ended up winning by 2/100ths of a second, just edging out a pair of Dutch skaters for the top spot in a thrilling race that no doubt will spark a Thursday night party in Vancouver, not to mention London.

Eldritch, I'm sure you don't belong to this group of people, but I'm personally sick of the attitude displayed by some Finnish "fans". All they do is nag and whine and bitch about the national team, the coach, the player selections, the age of the players, you name it.

Pisses the hell out of me, I can tell you. I wish they didn't allow comments on the sport sections of internet newspapers.

Those people are playing it safe -- if they lose, they can say, "see? I told you so", and if they win, well ...

I don't actually mind if they lose, selling themselves short is what I cannot tolerate. We'll see.

The Finns are basically cursed forever after the ski world champions at Lahti ten years ago, it’s like God refuses to forgive and reach down only to kick the cheating Finns in the head. I wonder how long the curse will last. God is cruel but He is just.

I would laugh myself to death if the Norwegians showed any of the lack of spirit that the Finns are renowned around the world for but I doubt that will happen. Proof is in whose heads God is kicking relentlessly. Finland, the hopeless hocky nation. :D

We're renowned for lack of spirit now, is it? You watch it, we'll go Winter War on your ass. But seriously, why so hostile?

I was just referring to the fact that everyone here is convinced that Norwegian skiers especially also use doping. Like a joke. I personally couldn't care less about professional cross-country skiing. :rolleyes2:

Oh no need to be embarrassed though nisse. Really. :) I think we were all a bit surprised as to how the game unfolded. I think most people were expecting a more even strength game. And if it makes you feel any better neither Ovechkin nor Crosby (this game having been touted as a phenomenal match up between the two wunderkinds) shone in this game.

No worries nisse. There's always the next Games. The Russian hockey team should never ever be underestimated. We all know that. :)

About Team Sweden though, I am surprised that the defending Gold medallists aren't even in the running this time around. But I am glad that Finland made it in. They should prove to be very interesting semi-finals at any rate.

Go Canada! Go!!:smilie_flagge17:

Now as for women's 2-man bobsleigh! Wow! A Gold and Silver finish for Canada 1 and Canada 2 and US 2 getting the Bronze. Simply wild and wonderful!

And what an amazing finish and fitting end for Clara Hugues' Olympic career. She has won 4 medals in long-track speedskating over a couple of Winter Games and 2 medals in cycling during the Atlanta Summer Games. A well-rounded athlete for sure!

What a fine fine day for Canadian women in sport!

And now let's hope that today is just as great with our Canadian women's hockey team going for Gold! :D

Tonight at the women’s curling finals, team Norberg will spank some Canadian bare asses and make everything plain and right. Female curling is one of the best TV sports ewer invented, I did not know that until this Olympic. Credit to Canada for a good event.

Congratulations to Team Norberg. Well played match and went to extra ends. Silver is not bad...Yippee, we are the First Losers...:D

You should watch freestyle skiing, snowboarding or even speed skating - competitors (both male and female) are much better looking there ;)...no the reason I watch though :D :ohwell:


P.S. Canada's got 13 gold - YEY! We own the podium :D...now just the hockey gold to seal the deal :D
