Just because there isn't one, and I LOVE the Olympics!
Let's start by talking about the amazing branding done by Iconologic...

you know what they play on the winter olympics....ice skating.... ice skating....ice skating....and more ice skating...
for weeks on end there will be interviews and hardship stories of little girls and their dreams and 18 hours a day on the ice....and more ice skating....and more skating....and .....well..... more skating....
xgames is what the olympics should be ...... motocross....snowcross...snowboa... slopestyle... ski style...the pipe... 4 days of non-stop madness.... it was great ....

I'm excited for the Olympics. At least for the skiing and snowboarding.... and maybe the bi-athalon.

YAY! OLYMPICS!!!

I'm not excited about it. The only thing I enjoy watching is speed skating. the rest is just boring crap but at least it is not as boring as the x-games.
I really love watching sporting events, but the winter games just don't feel like a global event since it is pretty much an european competition with a few asian and a couple of american nations.

Last Olympics, and Australian speed skater won a gold medal because everyone in front of him fell over. That was the greatest moment in Olympic history. ever. period.
If he's competing again this time, I will watch :)
- VectorMasked0
I think i remember that one. That american dude Ono who was the fav fell down too, right?
- BuddhaHat0
everyone but the Australian hit the deck and went into the wall... Roy and HG Nelson (radio and TV commentators) had a great time with that one, lol.
- shilohous0
anyone watching the pipe?
wow some sick runs
- VectorMasked0
shawn sucked in this last run. It's kinda true what the guy on tv said that he's pretty much never seen shawn fall down.
Danny was good. the finnish fellas are also doing good.
- chz0
shawn won the gold... of course, atleast the americans didn't sweep it again this year.
- shilohous0
i kinda feel for michelle kwan. not because she wasnt 100%, but because all this press run she is getting about pulling out, sensationalizing it with dramatic reading and music. that's gotta suck
- VectorMasked0
damn you chris!
I'm watching the snowboard competition right now and didn't know who the winner was.
this fricking sucks. I think I'll just go and cook some dinner.
:o(
- shilohous0
it should be the same scene in all timezones, what a bummer
- chz0
oops... sorry for spoiling it guys.
atleast I didn't say who won silver and bronze.
;p
- VectorMasked0
yeah. at least you didn't say who won ther other two but you did say they weren't americans.
Anyway just watching these guys makes me wanna go to whisltler or even go to the crappy grouse mountain. I have got to go soon coz I haven't this winter.
- chz0
no, no... i said atleast they didn't sweep it... ;)
i would hold off on whistler for now... i was up today, its bullet proof up there... i would wait for the next snowfall... with all the bluebird in the forecast that may be awhile though.

Steven Bradbury isnt at these olympics, hes the aussie that remained standing at the speed skating.
We dont say winning be defualt here, we call it "pulling a bradbury"
