Winter Olympics No Video Thread

Was that mentioned in the Netflix documentary? I haven't watched it but I've seen comments mentioning scandal/controversies talked about on the documentary...or at least I think they were saying it was talked about on it.

I have no idea about the Netflix thing. I didn't know it existed. But you can read some about it here.

Haven't been able to watch too much lately, but saw some highlights where 2 35 year old Italians won gold yesterday (speed skating and skiing, maybe Super G?) Yay for older women!

Then there's the 54-yr-old curler from Minnesota who's a personal injury attorney in his other life.

I live in "curling country" ,lol, and that age is Not old for curling. All ages play the game here and it's a big deal. There are elderly down to young children who play. So, in this one sport, age is not a factor regarding who can play.

It's old to be an Olympian though.

Not old for curling but it is old for elite curlers. The average age for male curlers on the World Curling Tour is 31 to 35.
