Night 4 Of the Olympics- High winds, Low Skiing, Freestyle Skating!

Posted on 02/11/2018 5:12:19 PM PST by blu

It's day 4! I didn't stay up all night and watch events live, so I'll have to settle for canned Olympics.

Russian skater...I don't care for Elvis, but I do prefer male skaters who dress like men!

Rooting for gayboy to lose (because he’s representing gaydom, not USA)

Anybody know what caliber that rifle is that they were using during the ski and shoot? I’m thinking a .22 and it sure looked neat and were they either hand loading each round from a lever of some sort?

There's a joke there somewhere.

“As much as I want the USA to do well....I just can’t get behind this guy.”

Not a big fan of figure skating, but there’s a lot of medals at stake.

He did pretty good

And that’s good for Team USA’s medal count.

I didn’t want to like Rippon’s performance but I think he did a good job. Technically he was very good. Wish he hadn’t spoiled his appearance by acting so rudely towards our VP. There was no call for it all.

I thought the 17yo snowboarder was fantastic! Came from way behind to win the gold.

Much, MUCH less.

The ladies are up next. Mirai Nagasu is the USA entry into this one. I know pretty much nothing about her.

The Shib Sibs are doing the ice dance free program. They’re good, but against Virtue and Moir of Canada....I dunno. I’s love to see us with a silver.

The dude from Canada just got a pretty good score, even with a fall.

The modern Olympics have always been pointless:

* It used to be professionals from all but a few countries — the USA being the predominant of the few.

* Now it is all professionals. So what is the point? If you don’t do the sport year-around and get paid for that you won’t win.

* Next it will be genderless which means it is over for humans born with an XX chromosome pair and a vagina (even lesbians no matter what your eyes tell you.

The usual response to my kind of post is “why post this if you don’t watch?”

Just putting out there to see why people watch.
