Winter Olympics No Video Thread

These fans at the Women’s Hockey game cracked me up.

Are those the players three brothers? I haven't seen that outfit yet, but since they always match and wear red white and blue, I would guess it's them.

I watched the second run of the men’s slalom live. They had about 7 or 8 low seeded athletes from countries that never medal, never even come close to the top 10. It was refreshing to watch them.

Iceland
Haiti
Bosnia-Herzegovina
Israel
Chile
And a few others.

The first run had athletes that didn’t make the cut to the second round:

India
Singapore
Iran
Guinea-Bissau
Etc.

The final athlete, the favorite to win gold from Norway, messed up and had a hissy fit. He threw his ski poles, took off his skis, then climbed under the netting fence and stomped off to the margins.

He was probably considered hiking back to Norway.

His grandfather died on opening day. I’ll give him some grace.

Yeah, he said he didn't even know if he would ski at all. And then he barely missed a medal in the GS prior to the slalom. That's a lot. I'd probably head for the woods, too.
