Weir deserves a gold medal for being fabulous. Most entertaining skater by far.

I loved it when he went into "Pokerface" while waiting for his short program score.

 

[BigJonsson]

Damn that was a fast slide for Montgomery!

Now for some Latvian fail, plz


Bah

Canada .26 behind going into tomorrow

 

[BakedPigeon]

Ive heard deadmau5 being played in the background of these events quite a bit during these Olympics.

Have they finished the women's qualifying too? How is Hollingsworth doing?

 

[Dice]

:lol Just leave that poor man alone. He was obviously way too cocky going in and now he is on DEFCON 2 damage control.

Plush stepping onto the top of the podium before dropping to the second was:

a) Cute
b) Classless
c) Hilarious
d) A symbolic passing of the torch

Inconsequential

Most Bronze Medals: USA
Most Silver Medals: USA
Most Gold Medals: USA
Most Total Medals: USA

I should just stop watching the Olympics now...it can't possibly get better than this from here on out.

I dunno but his face is priceless, he looks sooo pissed.

 

[Maximus.]

wow just watched interviews with Shaun and Shani on CTV and what class acts they are. Love how nice and how much love they showed for Canada

She's 3rd, it was earlier in the night so I didn't see it cause of hockey =/



Fellow Canadians - Lets go Slovakia!

Only down 1-0 in the 3rd vs Russia

Just be happy with how your country does if it bugs you that much that the US is first. Im really proud that Canada is in the top 5

 

[BigJonsson]

1-1!

10 minutes to go.....plz go to OT

 

[criesofthepast]

Overtime. These goalies are hot today.

 

[Maximus.]

WOW SLOVAKIA! Damn didnt see that coming. Good job DEMI, repping Vancouver Canucks!

 

[expy]

That was EPIC

 

[Branduil]

Wow great home field advantage for the USA this year.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

The US curling team has dropped the ball on both fronts. How many matches do they play before qualifying for the gold medal match?

 

[NetMapel]

Not a good day for Russia, eh ? Losing a gold in figure skating and SLV in hockey ?
However, Canada barely edged out Switzerland in hockey, so nothing really to cheer about either. Our continue dominance in curling and GOOOOLDDD in speed skating is sweet though

 

[BigJonsson]

I wonder if any Canadians will challenge for a medal in the Super G

 

[BladeWorker]

Well, Plushenko deserves what he gets, taking three years off the circuit and expecting to come back on top. He's the most consistent man on the planet, but that he got beat means something.

Isnt Guay supposed to be a medal contender?

I thought he deserved the silver too, but I'm sure Russians would have wanted to see gold from him. Much like what happened in women mogul's final, the American simply did better and got the gold.

I was watching CAN-GER today but I tuned out when it went into extra ends for CAN-SUI.

My friend said Canada got the last rock in the 11th - how did that happen? Didn't Canada have the final rock in the 10th, too? Is it decided by a coin flip like in football?

 

[snack]

GO CANADA!

 

[Firestorm]

How safe is buying tickets for Olympics on Craigslist? =/ Any remote crap that can happen to deactivate tickets and screwing the buyer over?

 

[mclem]

I think the reason there are four years between every Final Fantasy is because the character designers wait to get their costume ideas for the male lead from Olympic figure skating.

I now really wish I'd watched in 2006 when a guy in a giant afro participated, then.

 

[Suikoguy]

I remember how everybody was so excited for the first home gold medal, and now Canada has 3.

Certainly nothing to be disappointed in, at all.

 

[giga]

Plushenko: "I was positive that I won. But I suppose Evan needs a medal more than I do. Maybe it's because I already have one"

"If the Olympic champion doesn't know how to jump a quad, I don't know," he said. "Now it's not men's figure skating, now it's dancing."


Keep fucking that chicken.

Can't say I'm not happy to see him lose. Did NOT get blown away in either short program or FS.

Side note: Top 10 earning athletes at the winter olympics:

1. Kim Yu-Na (South Korea) $8 million Figure Skating
1. Shaun White (USA) $8 million Snowboard
3. Lindsey Vonn (USA) $3 million Alpine
4. Ted Ligety (USA) $2 million Alpine
5. Apolo Anton Ohno (USA) $1.5 million Short track
6. Bode Miller (USA) $1.3 million Alpine
7. Gretcher Bleiler (USA) $1 million Snowboard
7. Lindsey Jacobellis (USA) $1 million Snowboard
7. Hannah Teter (USA) $1 million Snowboard

How's the income determined here? I'm sure the vast majority of NHL players would be on that list if it's by yearly salary.

 

[Peru]

I don't know, to be honest. It's Forbes, so it should be trustworthy, but yeah they must have some sort of clause which puts top NHL pros out of competition.

Can someone take Lindsey Jacobelis' money away

Is that million payment for all the hype?

If EU countries competed under one banner it would own all.

Union member medals
Gold: 8
Silver: 11
Bronze: 15


But it would be no fun. Competing against your neighbor is the most fun.

 

[talisayNon]

I just read that there's no women's ski jumping event? WTF IOC?

You're LTTP. :lol

 

[NetMapel]

Today might be a medal-less day for Canada. Seems like we only have a medal hopeful men's Super-G but so far our alpine teams have been choking. Maaaaybbeee women's skeleton can get a medal too, who knows.

The female ski jumpers took it to court to try and get in, but lost somehow.

It's almost time for Super G... you literally can't get a more G sport.

Am I the only person who thinks every Women's curling team is hot ??
