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’m not sure ... but I think one of the male skaters was ... gay.

I don’t care who they are. Or even who they voted for...I just want AMERICA to WIN. Go TeamUSA.

For miracles in hockey, figure skating, etc...

And for South Korea not to be sabotaged in any way by the North. And a pretty opening/closing ceremony.

What does Johnny Weir think? It’s his opinion that matters.

The commentators keep talking about Russia being banned, but that the Russian athletes who proved that they’re clean are permitted to participate as independent athletes. What percentage of the Russian athletes are participating this way?

For the first time in a very long time Scott Hamilton is not the male expert commentator. Johnny Weir—looking like a very gay Edward Scissorhands—has taken Scott’s place. He’s FIERCE (that’s a gay expression) LOL

I think that they need more action in figure skating and curling.

They should combine the sports.

The skaters skate around while the curlers throw those vacuum cleaners at them and hit them with brooms.

The skaters get points by making sno cones.

I’d pay good money to see that.

The only W.O. sport worth a damn is the biathlon, national sport of Finland.

And a pretty opening/closing ceremony.

Are they even going to be broadcast? I didn't spot them on the NBC coverage schedule.

I’m okay if Lindsay Vonn doesn’t when big. She needs a little slice of Humble Pie. Lindsay has already refused to visit the White House in case the Olympic Team is invited there.
She says President Trump does NOT represent her!
Sort of like that basketballer Curry in California.

Love your suggestions LMAO!!

Mr RooRoo wants to see luge biathalon—the luge competitor fires a gun between his legs as he swoops down the ice course.
