Running 2018 Winter Games thread

I can’t believe that dude skated to Dust In The Wind. That song sucks.

 

If only we had this much brutality in non-Olympic sports. John McEnroe and Johnny Miller were honest, but not this honest.

 

Is it because it is team skating that they allow vocals in the music, unless I am way behind they never allow it, but maybe in the team competition? I am for no lyrics and hope it is still that way in the individual competition.. Loved the Bowie ad with Let's Dance for the skating that nbc has been running..

 

Nope, the rules changed a couple of years ago.

I want to know what happened to the Ukranian-Israeli skater who trains in Hackensack and skated to "Hava Negila." All I got was a Nathan Chen feature and a bunch of commercials.

I never understood the cry for more black folks in the winter games. We naturally have more whites from the colder countries where they, you know, keep all the snow. Always exceptions but you have a certain size pool to get people from and certain regions lend themselves to certain sports.

I said this out loud to my wife.

And Chen choked and we missed what Johnny said was a great performance and they danced in the box.

They almost tried to sneak in the fact that they didn't actually show it? yes, fail!

 

Skater Shani Davis boycotts olympic opening in race row | Daily Mail Online

He comes off like a baby. It's dishonorable to flip a coin? The vote was tied, so what's a better way to determine it? He's making it a race thing IMHO with his little hashtag "black history month." How else are you supposed to read that in that context? The white girl won the coin flip so screw you, I'm taking my ball and going home.

 

Is there more to this? I can’t ever remember a controversy regarding who the flag bearer was.

 

2-peat?

 

yeah, what a 2-tard.
