The way the Canadian competitors had loads more practice runs than their foreign counterparts for the luge just so they had a better chance of winning medals is something that should be looked at.
Winter Olympics
- Thread starter Purple Stickpin
- Start date
The cool thing about the Olympics for me is that despite little support people spend a good deal of their life to finish 18th or 32nd and maybe even 1st 2nd or 3rd.
I watched a Canadian skier fall then complete her run-that was cool.
I listened to an American skier say how he enjoyed people screaming that was cool.
Then I watched a biopic prior to the speed skating where the two favs-an American and a Canadian were profiled and presented as the two to beat only to be beaten by a South Korean-no biopic just a medal.
Sure Olympic organising rings of Hess too much at times but cheering for something anything feels real good and sometimes even inspires some to get off the couch the next day and try something for themselves-quit smoking walk 10000 steps a day volunteer take second job and if that happens well then maybe these and all Hess hyped events have value.
There that feels better-now I can settle down and watch the Canadian Hockey teams crush all comers.

That would be Mrs Lindsey Vonn
She is hot, even in the picture with her husband "Lucky".

Felt really sorry for (although I couldn't help laughing at) that poor French lass who fell before the first gate. Vonn was awesome.

There were a lot of bad falls yesterday, it must be all of that fake snow they're trucking in.
It looks like all of the snow went the the middle U.S. That's where the Olympics should have been.

There was a men's figure skater from Canada who was pretty laughable. He was falling and wobbling all over the place. I guess the ice is slippery.
On a related note, I wish they would stop calling the luge projectiles athletes. Or at least define exactly which athletic skills are necessary to lay down on a sled. I guess they have to hold their heads up a bit, and that could be very tiring. Otherwise, I don't get it.
