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.

Koreans doing well so far. Nice costumes. GOOD death spiral! Commentators still think this pair of skaters will not hold up against the others

Israeli couple had an almost flawless short program.... female skater had a fall half way through the program so that’s a deduction.

The Israelis trained in Hackensack, NJ.

Japan couple... wasn’t as good on the technical execution and the harmony left something to be desired.

There was a previous thread here on that very subject. Apparently there are a lot of restaurants still serving dog meat.

Shooting and luge may be a good combo.

Shooting and 3 man bobsled would be awesome.

Mr RooRoo keeps switching to The Downhill training runs on NBCSN. He’s allergic to figure skating.

I liked the Italian pair’s costumes! Too bad there isn’t a score for costumes LOL.
