Looks like we may not medal

 

[subrock]

Welp. No 3000 medal for Canada.

 

[criesofthepast]

They're slowing down but not enough for Groves to get bronze.

[Brinbe]

HOORAY BRONZE :lol

 

[expy]

Damn, German completely died on the final lap. Bronze is nice but we need a more expensive metal soon.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

[subrock]

Whoooaaa. Talk about skin of the teeth for that bronze.

 

[fallout]

[NetMapel]

TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT. BRONZEEEE

 

[Firestorm]

[snack]

Congrats to Groves for winning bronze! I'm so proud of her!

 

[Kifimbo]

Hell yeah ! I was ready to declare Canada the 4th place country.

We are also looking good in moguls. 2nd and 4th so far.

 

[NetMapel]

Sucks that our gold medalist got a silver and our silver medalist got a bronze. We're not improving ! We're doing worse !!!

Awesome! More medals, the better. :lol

I thought this was not thier event though. More likely to get Gold in 1500, 500, team.

 

[NetMapel]

I know. But Groves won silver in this event last Olympics and you know what happened at female moguls :lol

Kind of feel bad for Hughs though. Canadians love to bump our own athletes off the podium :lol

 

[snack]

Yeah. Groves' specialty is in the 1500m. Hughes' specialty is in the 5000m.

 

[Kifimbo]

No. Hughes won bronze in the 3000m in 2006. Groves wasn't on the podium on this event.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Not as much as the Koreans do. Quite literally actually.

 

[NetMapel]

No. Hughes won bronze in the 3000m in 2006. Groves wasn't on the podium on this event.

Ok, maybe I misheard it the announcer then.

 

[criesofthepast]

Ouch french dude wrecked and tumbled hard in moguls.

 

[NetMapel]

Not as much as the Koreans do. Quite literally actually.

lol yeah I saw that. Koreans are so pissed about it saying they put themselves above their country :lol

 

[YYZ]

Ouch french dude wrecked and tumbled hard in moguls.

That was great though, he did a front flip and continued down as if nothing happened. Didn't fall on his ass or anything.

 

[fallout]

Awesome! More medals, the better. :lol

These are just the qualifiers. Should have a decent shot in the medal round, though.

 

[Wes]

He fell over! Oh wow.

 

[zedge]

Woot!

 

[NetMapel]

3 Canadians have qualified for this Moguls with 2 having the best medal chance. Let's go !

 

[YYZ]

Whichever country wins the most gold is the winner in my books.

 

[Big-E]

:lol Russian guy in moguls forgot about the second jump.

 

[criesofthepast]

:lol Russian guy in moguls forgot about the second jump.

:lol he should get a perfect score for style on that fail.

 

[YYZ]

Russian is like "lol wut, 'nother jump?"

 

[CzarTim]

The Cincy sports guy keeps pronouncing nordic combine as "nordeec cumbine" :lol :lol​

 

[Firestorm]

Whichever country wins the most gold is the winner in my books.

Point system for me.

3 points to Gold
2 points to Silver
1 point to Bronze

 

[fallout]

I wanna ski down a hill doing flips and shit while rocking out to Master of Puppets!

 

[Igo]

Whichever country wins the most gold is the winner in my books.

Pretty sure thats how the IOC rank it too.

 

[criesofthepast]

All 4 canadians qualify for moguls final tonight.

The men are nuts, I'm expecting major wipeouts tonight when they go all out.

Yeah and fuck Dale Begg Smith. Justice is coming tonight...I hope.

 

[fallout]

Great run by Gringas.

4 Canadians qualify! Nice.

 

[Kifimbo]

All 4 canadians qualify for moguls final tonight.

And Dale Begg-Smith fell from his pedestal. For a minute at least.

 

[Wes]

Wow. The Yank got owned on the line by the Frenchie.

 

[Big-E]

Holy fuck, Daytona 500 is still fucking going on. Should be some Olympic coverage on the channel soon but they are fucking taking forever to finish.

 

[zedge]

Yeah and fuck Dale Begg Smith. Justice is coming tonight...I hope.

Indeed, a bigger douche than Ohno.

 

[criesofthepast]

Seeing the Sportsnet piece on Alex Bilodeau and his brother with Cerebral Palsy was so amazing. Really great to see his brother cheering him on at the bottom of the hill.

Holy hell Dale Begg-Smith is a huge douchebag. Avoiding Canadian media, only doing Aussie interviews. When someone said to him "it must feel good to be home", he replies with "this isn't my home"...what a smug faced asshole.

I actually forgot who he was but now I remember watching and hearing about him in Torino.

 

[pringles]

Keeping my fingers crossed for Jesper Bjornlund in the Moguls final tonight.
He's from my hometown and I've met his dad a bunch of times through work. Would be so cool if he got a medal.

 

[Y2Kev]

Is Bode Miller at the olympics? NBC is totally ignoring him this year :lol

 

[mYm|17|]

they are now just showing the 3000m women's long track on nbc

 

[CzarTim]

Is Bode Miller at the olympics? NBC is totally ignoring him this year :lol

They've interviewed him a few times. He seems to be toning down the douchness.​

 

[NetMapel]

So sounds like NBC really messed up the Olympics this year, eh ? I have to say so far CTV has been impressive, especially with their comprehensive internet coverage. So far I've been able to catch every event live and only a minute or two of delay.

Definitely. I wish there were more events streamed live. The video quality is awesome for the few things they do stream. It seems like they trying really hard to not piss off their local affiliates by not having any live coverage online or on cable networks during local news hours.
