Curling on tonight (I love me some curling) New format is being played for the first time in the olympics. Doubles, mixed doubles in fact tonight.  Faster paced game, I’m digging it. USA vs OAR (Olympic Athletes from Russia)

Shaun White won his 3rd Gold in the halfpipe today, which happened to be the 100th Gold for the US in winter Olympic history.  [clap]

Men’s Downhill is on now. They broadcast on two channels. They’re dancing on ice (not that there’s anything wrong with that) on one, and going 70mph down a frozen (east coast snow) mountain on the other.  [evil]

Men’s skeleton is on now.  [evil]

Mikaela Shiffrin won gold, in giant slalom.  [clap]

Oh, the USA/CAN women’s hockey game was good. These two teams are developing a rivalry. Got a little chippy tonight. Canada won.

Just watched Hischer win another gold in the GS. He is undoubtedly the best Alpine skier in the game.

USA/FIN  Women’s Hockey. US is totally dominating this game, so it looks as though they’ll advance to the gold medal game.  [clap]

 USA Women’s team sprint broke a 42-year cross-country Olympic medal drought. Jesse Diggins made a last second pass to take the gold. Epic shit!  [clap] [bow_down]

Congratulations to Ledecka from CZE. She is the first woman to win gold medals in two different sports at the same Winter Olympics. Super-G skiing and Parallel GS snowboarding.  [clap] [bow_down]

US Men’s curling is getting ready to play for gold. Gonna be a long night.  [popcorn]


5-5
End 8

Both of these teams are amazing, I guess that’s why they’re playing for the gold.


Way to go fellas. That was outstanding!!  [clap] [clap]  🥇

David Wise won his third halfpipe Gold Medal.  Many of the athletes at the Olympics seem to have near supernatural skills.  No amount of physical coordination can explain how they can do what they do.

The owners/founders of Wise's Moment skis live right down the road from me.  They came from a family of stone masons but went rogue and started building skis.  Hope the best for them.
