Ahh that chick got screwed by the wind
It just picked up when she was halfway down and pretty much wiped her off the course, she got through it but then couldn't hold on

Edit: the wind has changed and is now heading straight up the hill at the skiiers
This might work out well for the Canadian who skiied early and is sitting in 1st right now

Shiffrin doesn't even medal
Well, at least she is in every other damn commercial, and in the supermarket on the floor (sticker), and everytime they talk about athletes. With all the diversity signaling that's been going on they seem overly obsessed with this white, blonde woman.

Everybody was like Mikaela this, Mikalea that, see her face everywhere, hype did not deliver, at least for this event. I hope they can stop talking about her now.
I just hope they don't turn on her
She has the flu apparently on top of everything they are expecting from her
She was puking before her 1st run

But the hype has been over done for sure

The us media will have tons to target with Jacobellis choosing a dumb line when in first and the American figute skater absolutely blowing it

I don't think they'll turn on shiffrin after she already won a gold

You make a damn good point about all the diversity bullshit but they are always all fucking over a hot blonde

This is a multilayered burn but best comment on Reddit tonight


Congrats Adam Rippon, you can't do a quad but you're the best skater that a country with 300 million people can produce right now.

Well... fuck women's curling
I can't believe what just happened
Canada had played like shit tonigjt against Denmark and it went to an extra end with Canada holding the rock though
So Denmark makes a huge choke on their final rock, trying to setup a guard but plays it horrible and way over curls and doesn't block shit
So Canada has their skip with final stone to remove the one Denmark stone sitting for a point but completely chokes, hits the fucking guard that fucking missed and completely missing the stone sitting, giving Denmark the win (this was a shot that a person who has played for a fucking month could make)

The clear gold medal favorite Canadian team is now 0-3, they are sitting alone in last place and have to win their final 6 matches in a row to have even a chance at advancing

Thank fuck she is beautiful

Current medal count
Norway is absolutely on fire
One more gold and Canada can move into 3rd and Sweden is only one gold away from taking over 4th which would move either Canada or USA out of the top 5

Last night gave one of the best moments of these Olympics

It came in the cross country 15k, everybody is done racing except one guy from Mexico (finished roughly 30minutes behind the winner) and as he crosses the line the other competitors were waiting at the finish line to congratulate him on finishing the race
This race also included the guy from Tonga and he finished 3rd last, he is actually one of the guys you see lift the Mexican skiier at the end of the clip

Great sportsmanship by all

Too lazy to go back and look at the whole thread, but did anyone else see that poor Japanese fellow wipe out brutally on the snowboarding halfpipe? Wonder if he was okay after, it really looked like he broke his spine.
