Running 2018 Winter Games thread

Every four years, I completely dork out on biathlon and cross country skiing.

 

We have the ability to watch the BBC networks, and their coverage during the Summer Games two years ago was far, far better than NBC. More sports, especially the less-watched ones (kayaking, archery, equestrianism, etc.), and less fluff. We are hoping that will be the case during these Games, too.

 

I'm a bobsled, luge and ski jumping man myself.

 

I like the stuff where if I tried it, I'd probably break about 20 bones.

So pretty much everything.

 

Yeah, I get like that too. When the Summer Games were in Australia, I found myself watching scull heats at 3:30 a.m. Why? Olympics!

 

Skeleton. Those people are fucking insane.

 

That's me, too. I am all over the Olympics. Summer and Winter.

 

There are way more crazy, dangerous sports in the Winter Games than in the Summer. That said, there's also curling and ice dancing.

 

Yeah, until someone catches a shuttlecock in the eye.

 

Same for me.

I like that the first two events come down to 100ths of a second.

 

Com on, curling is dangerous. Someone could slip and drop the rock (or whatever it's called) on someone's foot.
