2010 Winter Olympics

[golfmade]

Anyone looking forward to the upcoming Olympics?

My favorites are (in order): Ice hockey, alpine, aerials, speed skating and biathlon.

Went to high school with a guy that does aerials, other then that can't say I'm rooting for anyone in particular. Have never really been too patriotic about the USA, more then anything in the Olympics just like watching good competition.

I love the figure skating myself. Keep a sharp eye out for some classic camel toe moments.....and the chicks are just as bad.

Im a big fan of Curling! .. no seriously I actually enjoy watching it probably because its one of the weirdest sports Iv seen .. that an AFL

Fucken A!
The winter Olympics are the best. Speed, carnage and bloody good entertainment.
Luge, 4-man bobsled, biathlon, GS and the skijumping!:rockon::headbang::Punk::not::niceone:

Looking forward to it. Just a shame they didn't host the games in UK or Washington... they had HEAPS of snow!:blip:

Aye well Vancouver ain't that far from Washington. Actually just did a search and looks like they're trucking in snow because there ain't enough, doh!

Found this and chuckled.

A bit of comedy about Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards, on the radio this morning, still brings out a lot of respect for those people who can sit at the top of one of the ski jump towers and have the balls to let go!
Respec!

Looking forward to watching some of it. Seems more interesting than "normal" Olympics for some reason.

I think Jamica have a bob sleigh team again this year!

Will you watch the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics?

Me? Of course I will watch the opening ceremony hosted in my country.

The rest...well, will try to catch it as often as I can...not really a television watcher. They might have to make up new sports canoe jumping what with the rain they are getting in British Columbia...(embarassing, winter olympics in Canada and NO snow!)

If you do follow it what is your favourite sport?

Ski jumping and speed skating are my faves.

Games haven't even started yet already tragic news.

I have to say it's time for a big cup of "Who cares?" in my house...that's if I've actually got any left in the bottle following the start of the Super14 in the middle of the cricket season....

[sunhuntin]

i love ice hockey. i watched a game while i was over in canada and actually understood it when explained, yet almost 25 years surrounded by rugby and i still dont get the point. wish i could watch it, but only get 3 channels on my tv.

very sad for the luger who died on a practise run. poor bloody guy

[Swoop]

Bloody superb!
The womans short course biathlon was good. If there is anything better than hot women in tight suits, skiing AND shooting I have yet to see it. Mrs suggested a bikini-clad event of the same thing... She is definately on to something there!!:yes:

Short hill skijumping yesterday. 106metres. Bloody hell! That distance, flying, with skis attached... Thugby and cricket can simply fuck off!

[Jackal]

Um, in a word, no. As in 'no, it's not'.

[EJK]

I got the rest of my day to watch the Winter Olympics and what can I say.....


all women are HOT DAYUM (except one German skeleton sleder :shutup:)
I know they are wearing complete-opposit-to-bikinis but still, you know what I mean ;)

Men's figure skate in the evening? Ummmm I'll pass :yawn:

[golfmade]

WOOOO, big win. USA 5 Canada 3. Still a lot of hockey to be played but the USA gets to rest a day.
