Pffft. The only time I’m interested in the Olympics is when they show an event that features chicks in skin tight or skimpy clothes.

Biathalon has a great name and looks fun, watched that on primetime a couple days ago.

Skiing everywhere uphill in the snow both ways, then pull your rifle off your back and 5 target shoot with an elevated heart rate, some real Metal Gear stuff there. Didn’t even know what the rules were if you missed and what the penalty time was.

Anyway, everyone’s favorite crazyass Winter sport is on right now, the curling! Get your sweep brooms ready. Shits like an arcade game with this flashing red cherry scoreboard for the Swiss women screaming

I hope something like this happens again this year:

I like how they spliced that video of the newscasters laughing at that wobbly model from another vid

For some reason, I’m just not as hype for these Olympics compared to the last one. Let me know when US hockey gets their rematch against Canada at Summerslam on the last day

Watching men’s half-pipe snowboarding. Looks like they’re having a rough time.

I saw plenty of wipe outs and face plants. The half-pipe had a hole that one of the boarders hit.
