The Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics Thread



Don't give a shit about Russia or the Olympics...

Yeah but just watching the opening montage of athletes there was a lot of sick GoPro type footage that puts you right there. There is a lot of extreme sports in the Winter Olympics. I'm sure that the advances in quality of HD film gear since Vancouver will certainly make for some epic moments in Olympic coverage.

If you have an iPhone check out the Visa 360 app. It is awesome.

Glad I am not the only one that likes curling. Not a fast game, takes a very steady approach and strategy. Billiards should also be an Olympic sport!
 
Bob Costas is such a cunt, he didn't have to show up on TV if he had a fucked up eye, but of course like any anchor, they try to be dramatic like OH MY GOD, look at me.
 
Don't give a shit about Russia or the Olympics, but I'm sure it's a complete coincidence that the media is trying so hard to make Russia look bad after their treatment of "teh gays".

But I suspect billions of dollars disappearing into the bank accounts of Putin's cronies has something to do with it as well.

The olympics is a giant scam these days, it starts with palms being greased about 8 years out when cities bid for the privilege of hosting the games and doesn't end until all the cronies divvy up the newly constructed infrastructure after everyone goes home.

Apparently the end result of this massive farce is that some of Putin's buddies end up with a shiny new (poorly built) tourist resort on the black sea, paid for with other people's money.
