The Winter Olympics already started Today!
NBC | Feb 8 2018 | Me

Posted on 02/08/2018 5:34:09 PM PST by RooRoobird20

The opening ceremonies haven't been held, but figure skating started today!

Mr. RooRoo is semi-suicidal, he HATES figure skating.

All snarky color commentators, please weigh in!!!!

I'll throw out the first pitch: The second male skater (from Germany I believe) chose a HORRIBLE costume, he had big yucky armpit sweat stains, it was hard to focus on anything else.

I enjoy watching the female skaters - they have the most amazing legs.....

Probably won’t watch much if any of the Olympics, but if I do watch the women skate I hope there won’t be any hairy pretend women competing.

I doubt we’ll ever be see an LBQT Olympics.

Political correctness has limits.

How bout combining speed skating with shooting? The possibilities are endless.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

You could do something like "Cowboy Mounted Shooting" (which I enjoy watching) except instead of being on a galloping horse, you're on skates! I might even watch something like that.

Videos of CMS are at the link.

Doesn’t that look like fun? Especially the jumps.

Back to figure skating.

One American in the top ten for Moguls finals.

Canada’s Kingsbury is a gold medal favorite.

Eventually we will have to deal with tranny figure skaters (as well as other events)

Uhm, I think Sochi was the first, this is the second. Why would they need their own? Who would play hockey? Would the women skaters have hairy legs? (If this is offensive, someone let me know and I’ll send myself to the principal’s office)

The French pair’s costumes didn’t coordinate very well, made their movements seem more uncoordinated.

It is not unusual for games to start prior to the opening. But I think it’s pretty new to show any before the opening.

And I hope the events don’t turn into a showcase of public vomitoria.

No twizzles in Pairs-even tho it looks like they’re doing them.

The Canadian pair, sorry that black dress makes her look frowzy.

Canada had a superb short program and moved into first place!

A well deserved performance, beautifully done.

Looks like they will take the gold medal.
