For those of us in the US, this is going to be a BIG Prime Time recap on NBC!
R
I’d move to Norway.
C
Megan on her not landing that 1440 even after having already secured the gold “I wish I landed that shit” 😂😂 She won gold and she was still hungry for more 😤😤🤟
T
calling off a ski event because it’s snowing. now i’ve seen everything
M
We’re gone from complaining about no snow in the last prior games to complaining about too much snow in these games.
W
speed skating (replay) All the Korean skaters look like they haven’t seen the sun in years. Somebody get them some Vitamin D supplements, stat!
R
Theres a Wakanda, Illinois?!?
S
Spelled differently
N
rumor has it mcgrath is still deep in the woods, reflecting
H
Nah I’ve seen some pictures of him on a snow scooter. He’s saved from his pain, a little.
A
In Curling when two teams are discussing what to do after a stone was improperly touched are both clocks stopped?
W
Highlights of today?
C
Bobsled, women’s big air ski, and figure skating pairs final. The hockey was…not compelling. We all knew what would happen
C
Figure skating final. Taylor finally winning gold in bobsled.
W
men’s 5000 (replay) Stephen Dubois’ beard is so unsettling. It’s like James Harden’s – weirdly fake looking.
P
I just realized there is winter paralympics too so I’ll still have more olympics to watch when this is over!
W
The Paralympics for winter sports are crazy. More people throwing themselves straight down the side of a mountain, but with fewer limbs than the Olympians.
M
Now we know why Sled Hockey is so violent, everyone is already missing one or both legs might as well launch our upper bodies into the boards or at each other. At least we know no one can leave the game with the mysterious “Lower Body Injury”
R
Fewer limbs to break, though. Though I guess there’s more chances of injuries to fhe ones they do have. Sort of balances it out
C
Several hours later I hope the female Japanese pairs skater is no longer shell shocked and can celebrate! She looked like she’d just seen a ghost
K
I thought she was legitimately on the brink of fainting
N
Lets go Israel!! Push that sled!
M
That’s tomorrow I think.
S
Man day ten, i missed two days but back to catching up ons some stuff
T
The two Romanian bobsledders look like the most Romanian dudes imaginable
W
Is there some Romanian physiognomy stereotype of which I’m unaware?
G
The 2024 French medal ceremonies were so much more iconic than these Italian ones.
W
I’m nostalgic for the Vancouver 2010 arrangement, where almost all the medals were presented onstage at the end of the night. A parade of winners!
S
I love Short Track! The chaos!
W
I’m rewatching too but feeling the opposite. The chaos reminds me of a card game called Fluxx, where the end goal is constantly changing and there’s not much you can do to strategize or prepare. That’s as infuriating as this is, haha. EDIT: I do love the push “handoff” though!
C
Surreal Free Program after they needed a comeback after their 5th on short program and what a comeback!!! for Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara
I
Wonder if whoever gets fifth in women’s short will take gold… Interesting it’s happened twice now.
J
when you start from fifth, bring the best program of your life, and put pressure on everyone ahead of you to bring **their** best free program of their life to compete for gold. And except the German pair, it would have needed to be way better than they have ever shown!
R
I’m so happy for them. I felt so bad for them yesterday. Poor Ryuichi looked devastated.
S
I’m so excited for the aerials freestyle skiing tomorrow. A sport I watch and love every Olympics than forget about until next Olympics. Other than it starting at 4am here in Canada gonna have to watch on repeat on CBC Gem
W
> A sport I watch and love every Olympics than forget about until next Olympics. LOL that’s pretty much everything but hockey for me. You don’t see much luge or ski jumping on TV here between games!
S
That’s true. But there are times where CBC will show some sports on in the afternoon. I never see them show Aerials though and I enjoy watching them alot!!!
M
The most we get here from ESPN is outside of Hockey, is X-Games, so you’ll get the Slopestyle and Big Air for Freestyle Skiing and Snowboarding but nothing else
T
Speed Skating Women’s Team Pursuit Why does it say Kazakhstan vs China is cancelled tomorrow
M
“The Women’s Team Pursuit Final D (CHN vs KAZ) had to be cancelled due to the withdrawal of the team Kazakhstan. The Women’s Team Pursuit Final D (CHN vs KAZ) will not be held during these Games.” No, I don’t know what caused Kazakhstan to withdrew.
T
I see. Thanks
N
I imagine one or more of their skaters decided to focus on an individual event rather than race for 7th. Which would make a lot of sense to me
J
Curling women: Is Sweden already qualified for the semis, or do they need one more win to be sure?
E
Someone in r/curling said they were in for sure, since the only way to knock them out would involve two teams winning the same match. (I.e. it looks like based on records they could be out, but because of the matchups, it’s not actually possible.)
J
Thank you!
M
Till 6:00 Eastern.
S
Send Bobs (Replay) I still don’t understand why men have 4-man bobsleigh and women have monobob.
F
According to our broadcast, they wanted a 2nd bobsled type to have parity with men…but it was decided to go to monobob and not four because four might limit the number of countries that could compete
E
Obviously because the women already have bobs and vagene. The men need to compensate somehow.
W
This is the hardest I’ve laughed all week, thank you for that.
