Shaun white might have blown my mind with a near perfect run when the pressure was on

But these guys are the real MVP

Apparently Shaun White arrived in Pyeongchang with stitches in his mouth that still hadn't dissolved from a training accident in New Zealand. That's fucking insane.

@BJTT_Kiwi you try to injure our boy but you still can't stop us

This was mark mcmorris 11 months ago after a horrible fall
He won bronze in slopestyle
Snowboarders are no joke man

Does Team USA have any chance of winning hockey gold this time or is Canada gonna take it again?

I don't want to get my hopes up for nothing.

He fell into his parents arms crying after winning too
Has put in a ton of work after a disappointing 4th at the last Olympics

In men's?

They have legit nhl legends playing where as every one is most juniors on usa and Canada
Sweden should be super competitive as well

Wait none of the top NHL guys are playing for Team Canada?

Nope, nhl wouldn't let them go unless the Olympic committee was willing to pay the insurance costs for all nhl athletes
It always comes down to money

 

[Robbie Hart]

I didn't mean that last post to be a perv. What I am trying to say is I like the design of the suits from an ergonomic standpoint. It is cutting edge stuff.

There is nothing wrong with feeling this way.....

God damn they need to get a grip on that shit.

At least with USA bastketball in the summer Olympics we can blame the selfish players if we don't win gold...

I agree completely, it's supposed to be the best there imo
It was going to cost the Olympic committee millions per athlete and not just Canada, nearly every team had nhlers
So the owners had to know they were making a completely unreasonable demand when they said it

I understand protecting your investment but selfishly I hate each owner a little more after this bs

that lil bear is staring like a creep

But who could blame him. He is frozen stiff on that ice

[Gay For Longo]

And here's the current medal count
USA up to 3rd moving past Canada at 5th

 

[Gay For Longo]

Oh and something really fucking cool
Shaun White's gold is the 100th gold medal won by team USA at the winter games

 

[Gay For Longo]

@conor mcgregor nut hugger
So I just watched the usa/Slovenia hockey game.. . Don't even expect a medal if they play like that
They played a great 45minutes and then their defence just completely collapsed
They're fast and can score but God damn that defence is horrible
They need to tighten the fuck up and not leave so many odd man rushes
2-0 with 15 minutes left in 3rd and They lost 3-2

Edit: Slovenia did not win a single game at the last Olympics

 

[Yossarian]

And here's the current medal count
USA up to 3rd moving past Canada at 5th

Happy with second and third. Canada will stay in top 5 as well, I'm sure. They've got that shit with they're ice-bowling and can claim another medal.

Yep, curling and figure skating are really good for Canada
Snowboard cross tonight is usually pretty good for us too
I could actually see this top 5 staying the top 5 all the way through
I always cheer for Canada, USA and Netherlands, so I'm happy

Netherlands will come down since we only have few sports (skating really). Norway/Sweden make a good chance still. Russia for the Hockey for sure.

Sorry Canadians, never liked Curling being in the games, I do not conisder it a sport. It'd be like bowling in the summer Olympics (Please don't tell me it already is). As for the other winter sports, I am fine with those, icluding the ice dancing shit.

As for my fellow Dutchies, I was thrilled to watch speedskating and watch them destroy!
