Official Vancouver 2010 Olympics Thread

ah man no1 in srk watched ice skating / kim yuna?

:frowning:

U mean those two korean or jap kids? fuck them. It was all about rochet or did u forget what country the olympics are in?

nah i just watched that chick whos mom died 2 days ago…thats messed up.

Canada rape aside, some real good hockey.

BUZZER BEATER!

The judges are shady at every olympics, there’s been bad sportsmanship from other countries…ie the dude telling the chick from nbc she was stupid, then pushing some chick cause he lost. You’re going to get idiot fans everywhere, you can’t say that just for one country. And that chick needs to man the fuck up…she fucked up, that’s why she didn’t win cause she spends to much time blaming other people for her mistakes. Not that i’d be cheering in that circumstance, people need to respect that kinda shit…but seriously, your a world class athlete…you couldn’t tell how hard you pushed off cause you couldn’t hear?? wtf. The opening ceremony was lame…how was it a failure though? That’s the shittiest part of the games anyway, like figure skating its for old ladies and housewives. I didn’t even start watching them until after bejing just cause of how huge it was.

I wonder who canada is going to put in net…luongo has two pretty dominating wins…vs two shit teams. Broduer has a close call and a loss, vs the 1 seed and the best dark horse team in the world. I think i want to see luongo, i think broduer looked pretty shaky in his last two games. The russia game is going to be crazy, they got a sick team but are facing the same kinda problems canada has been. The states has a pretty tough game too, they should win, but with the swiss there’s always a chance of an upset. my fucking internet better not go out again so i can watch this shit.

Dang I never heard of this Kim Yu Na girl until today and they’re saying she’s the most famous girl in Korea. I guess NBC doesn’t have much to gain from promoting a non-American, but jeez, she’s INSANELY good.

Please win Canada

anywhere I can watch replays? I missed Mao Asada and Kim Yu Na’s performances

that’s honestly the most annoying shit. i don’t know when it became popular to try to use health care as a burn. these retards probably don’t realize we probably pay twice as much in taxes as places without health care.

The sound was distracting because she needed to be able to hear the directives from her teammates, which she couldn’t.

But why was the opening ceremony a failure? Well aside from being lame you had the camera showing 2 dancers not dancing, one of them on her fucking cell phone apparently. One guy forgot his speech. And then when the 4 pillars were supposed to rise to be ignited, some of them failed and wouldn’t come up. So you have athletes around the flame going “WTF am I supposed to do?” While announcers had no clue what was going on. That and Gretsky standing outside in the rain wondering “Guys…? Did yall forget about me? what’s going on”. Also, Quebec is pretty pissed about the horrible representation of the french language in the ceremony (not that I care much about that).

And speaking of figure skating: Grats to Joannie Rochette for pulling through like she did. Good stuff.

Don’t forget gretsky standing in the back of a truck driving to the next flame location. lol

So budget, so canadian.

They should’ve had him ride a dogsleigh. The rest of the world would never have noticed a problem.

i still think that’s bullshit. I’ve played hockey infront of enough people before (albeit nothing like you would see in the olympics) and you can’t even hear the crowd. You’re supposed to be focused on what your doing. You never hear people that play real sports complain about stuff like that…only tools like this chick and tiger woods.

haha…quebec is pissed about something everyday. But yeah really french is a bigger part of our country than teepees and tomahawks so i guess i understand them being pissed. You can’t do much about a mechanical failure though…i’ve seen that shit happen in big shows more than once.

I know in hockey you don’t hear the crowd. Too much movement, too much noise. That’s the thing with curling. The players aren’t making sound and need to concentrate. It’s the equivalent of someone yelling “SYKE” right as a bowler throws his shot.

Actually, the indians stuff didn’t even concern quebec. What they did was take a french poem from a french author, translate it to english and voila. That’s all you get frenchies. Personally I didn’t even know it was a french poem translated to english until someone told me. But I’ll be the last to genuinely complain about a lack of french. :rofl:

french shouldnt be surprised they will get almost zero representation in western canada
are they on crack?

Asians make up 40% of Vancouver’s population and I read they didn’t get any representation during the Opening Ceremonies either.

Personally I think they put way too much emphasis on the first nations thing. I understand they are a vital part but they were 90% of the damn thing.

who cares
chinese isnt an offical language and they also werent in canada before settlers came

chinese have as much reason to be represented as ukrainians and jamaicans

I don’t know, i’ve watched some 10 pin bowling in the states, they are going fucking nuts the whole time. Like holding up signs and shit like it’s the wwf…wtf

Sorry, bad example then. I can’t really say I’ve ever watched bowling to be honest >.>
