A new chapter in the Olympics is almost upon us. I’m curious to see what the interactions between N and S Korea will be like, if any.

I guess people will be looking forward to the opening ceremony, but nothing will top China’s. Not even the finest K-pop performances will do it.

Which events will you all be checking out?

2

North and South have marched together before.

Might check out the bobsled.

3

Yeah the North and the South came out together for the Athens or Sydney games.

When I flew back to Korea from the US last week there were a ton of USOC members on the flight. It’s kinda weird that the opening ceremonies are so close, yet nobody here seems hype for it. Tickets are still available for a lot of the events and cheap as fuck. If I didn’t have work, I’d def check some shit out, as it stands I still might lol

4

shaun white gettin perfect 10 during trials is gonna be a curse lmfao.

5

E-sports may become an Olympic sport http://time.com/5136962/e-sports-olympics-pyeongchang-video-games/

Not sure if it’s going to debut in this Olympics since they’ve only done trial runs like days before the main event.

6

I missed the opening ceremony. It aired at 6AM PST.

Remember this guy? He’s back and was still topless lol.

7

Professional sports is dead. Lol.
E-sports at the Olympics is like allowing special Olympics version of the National Geography Bee

8

Watched the womens slalom tonight at the bar, dem backflips wtf wasnt even expecting that. Also wtf are all womens winter athletes hot as hell, the bodies I can get because they constantly train but the faces too god damn. Definately my fav Olympics.

9

I’m still confused about this Olympic Athletes of Russia thing. Whats going on with that?

10

they allowed a few athlete to come through but more or less the country is banned. like when you got a whole govt saying roid everyone…you gotta semi put your foot down. even though anyone who knows anything…the ioc 90% probably knew about this shit

11

I wish the commentators would stop just calling them “the Russians.” They need to rub it in some more.
