Some of these olympic games are ridiculous..

[GrindTim3]

actually you're right, this takes the cake for being the most pointless dumbfuck event of the olympics.

Honestly, I was high as fuck last night and I thought this was some of the most interesting shit. I don't recommend watching it sober.

Canada owns the games! We do a fine job hosting!

It would seem that the US own the hockey rink after last night.

 

[medicalhumor]

ok. It might require some skill. I'm not arguing that. But you can't honestly say that it's an athletic event by any stretch of the imagination.
Hardly gold metal material.

Curling is probably one of my favorite events of the Olympics, not sure why you guys are hating on it. Ever watched an end?

It's way more interesting and exiting then any other event. The strategy and skill involved is awesome.

I'm more a fan of the dozen games that all involve sliding down an icey tunnel.

It's more of a game of engineers than it is a game of athletes.

 

[consigliere]

and what the hell is curling all about? That's not a sport, it's shuffle board on ice.

i agree its not a sport but remember its the olympic "games."

Of course, the African's are good at the 'bi athalon' (ski + shoot)

Shit's a ski-by

It is a .22, not an air rifle and was originally an exercise for Norwegian soldiers. It was originally called "Military Patrol" when it was first in the Olympics in the 1920's.

Lots of air rifles are .22 calibre..?

I guess air rifles can also be .22 caliber, but that is not what is used in the Winter Olympic Biathlon.

I don't really watch. but I happened to turn on the tv last week and Women's half pipe (snowboarding) was on. I was in awe of how much those chicks rock.

oh and dykes? I don't think so.

[nickycakes]

curling is actually pretty awesome if you learn about it. takes a lot more skill than the bullshit like bobsledding and snowboarding halfpipe where they're all doing the exact same tricks pretty much.

 

[bobby_custard]

Winter Olympics = 40 different types of sliding

Everyone's totally in love with Torah back here in Australia. Some fun facts for you - she had concussion twice in the week before the Olympics. Her doctor had to put balloons up her nose and inflate them to set the inner bones back in place so she could breath - yep, thats as painful as it sounds. She also dislocated her shoulder around the same time and it kept popping out while slept, waking her up yelling in pain.
Her parents made a surprise visit to Vancouver - first time she saw them and found out was minutes after she won gold - originally she was telling them to save their money so they could travel to her wedding thats coming up. Her family, her included, are Mormons.

Anyway, that sport is fucking hardcore, few other sports have as high an injury rate.. the aerials and some of the downhillers/crossers being close exceptions.
