XXI Olympic Winter Olympics Games Thread

[Heidict]

I think I remember them showing the biathlon in 2002, or at least I remember watching it. I know it was on live during the day on a day I called in "sick" to work. I thought it was really interesting. I'm SO flippin' glad I work from home now; I will be ALL OLYMPICS, ALL THE TIME until they end. I don't care how obscure the sport, I'm on it!

Oh, I'm so jealous of you!! I wish I worked from home. I don't think my boss would think to kindly of me calling out for 2 weeks.


Ok, I'm late to the game but I have read all 13 pages and I'm ready to go!!

Mmm. . . McDonalds. . . the healthy food of Olympians.

We can even eat the same foods the athletes are eating with the new sweet chili sauce!

 

[OK!]

OMG, I'm having palpitations. God, it was nice to see Peter Forsberg again.

I really don't like the people in the background in white and the way they are dancing. They just look silly and some of the moves that they are making are not the most hippest.

What's great about these "live" threads, is that people can always go back & catch up, then post during commercials.

Hi,

I'm living vicariously through all of you since I can't find any coverage on the opening ceremonies here! Keep the play-by-play coming, please!!!!

I, too, am dying to find out who's going to light the flame. It's after midnight now...but I really don't think I'll be able to sleep until I know.

 

[Illuminations_Rocks]

yay USA!!!

Does anyone else wonder how HOT these athletes must be? Didn't they say it's 70 in there?

 

[lillygator]

Go usa!

Well it was good to see he is able to walk.

 

[OK!]

Me either! I don't think they were doing that at the beginning, or I'd have noticed it. Before, they were just standing respectfully.

Would someone mind PMing me who is lighting the flame? I can't find it online and am so curious!!!

 

[Imzadi]

Ugh! Ralph Lauren needs to be fired for "designing" the U.S. athletes' outfits. That is NOT U.S. blue.

 

[autumnpalm]

Oh, this is making me want to cry.

 

[OK!]

Well it was good to see he is able to walk.

Grrrrrr. Much as it pains me to admit, I was a little afraid of some ghastly flagpole-related incident. I don't know of many athletes who have worse luck than him.

 

[Illuminations_Rocks]

I love the super loud screaming for the Canadian team.

I can't believe that there was no gold for a home Olympics for you guys! I'm sure it'll be different this year!

I LOVE those little mittens!

Just post it and "white it out."

 

[Scornelius]

They've been dancing on and off the whole time.

Awww... look at us!! I'm so proud! And they just showed our soldiers in Afghanistan watching. Awww.

 

[OK!]

I LOVE the Canadian parkas, and could their mittens be any cuter?! I want some!!

Ohhh Canadian Dissers.... can you hook us up??
