XXI Olympic Winter Olympics Games Thread

[DVC~OKW~96]

I am disappointed by the poor sportsmanship that I have witnessed during these Games. Lindsey Vonn should have allowed the gold medal winner to shine during her special moment. Plushenko disgusts me. Short track skating is rough and seems to breed ill-will. Mancuso should not have gone public with her feud with Vonn.

On the plus side, I was touched by the genuine friendship between the Canadian and American ice dancing teams and their kind words for each other.

Couldn't agree with you more. The poor sportsmanship of these games seems to be on the rise.

When did atheletes become primadonnas?

At any rate, we're all still watching!

If you're talking about the short track relay, that is tonight. Not sure about the relay on the long track.

Yes, thanks!

Men's short track relay is Saturday, I think. Don't know about the women's...

Hope they can keep this up!!!

I second that!

 

[Belle Ella]

And look at that. Perry makes it 5-1

 

[Belle Ella]

And Weber makes it 6-1. Man, I'm feeling kind of bad for Nabby right now.

 

[Bay Hill]

They just pulled Nabby..
6-2 Canada

 

[Belle Ella]

Afinogenov got the goal for Russia, right?

ETA: Perry just made it 7-2

I know what it is like to coach elite athletes and they still hold some responsibility for their actions. I didn't say it wasn't the coach's fault but rather there is room for some shared blame here.

Kramer did say that the fault was mostly with himself. He felt like an idiot, poor guy.

Vonn crashed and stopped Mancuso's run. That will not be good for the drama.

 

[Claudia1]

Oops,sorry.... I didn't realize it was already discussed.

7-3 Canada over Russia!

Wow!

[NAB]

YES !!!!!

Way to go Canada!!!

Can you hear us cheering....

 

[OK!]

I was shocked to see the Russians go down so easily. I had this one picked as a really tough, nasty battle.

Another gold and silver for Canada in the ladies bobsled.

We are having a good night.

 

[maddiel]

Wow! What a day for Canada!

WOW. DQ'd Koreans lose the gold in ladies short track relay. USA gets a default bronze.

 

[maddiel]

I just watched the replay of the ladies speed skating relay - I feel bad for the Korean team. The skater with the flag that they showed looked so crushed.
