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.

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?

I would think it would be rather difficult to hand load a .22. I reload and I don't know anyone who does it .22s.

I used to watch in the ‘bad old days’ to see the US/USSR rivalry. Now, I just watch to enjoy the spectacle. I try to not let the idiot politics get in the way, unless it interferes with the athlete’s performance.

When you get nitwits like Rippon and Vonn who diss our nation’s leaders...that makes for a less enjoyable performance.

I was hoping Adam Rippon would fall on his @ss, he is such a nasty beyotch. He skated well, but he did have some sissy drama queen moves that were ridiculous. A male skater can be elegant without being a sissy prancing pony.

“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.”

Well said, couldn’t agree more.

He had a job to do and he did it.

Lol.

You always take that chance watching men’s figure skating.

I just hope American’s sissy moves beat all the rest of the world sissy moves.

I’m usually into the Winter Olympics, but I’m DVRing these and find myself fast forwarding through it all.

USA Men’s skater, Rippon, far too sparkly for me.

The biggest barfarama of these Olympics are the nonstop sanctimonious p.c. commercials-—enough already!!!!!! These commercials are so preachy, the companies trying to advertise get completely lost in the snarky sanctimonious muck.

Yeah, so typical that he had to get all sarcastic in his interview.

Good on NE Ohio native Red Gerard. (Born the month I graduated high school. I feel old now)

Commentator Johnny Weir is back with his massive pompadour hairdo, lipstick, and mascara. He’s definitely channeling Loki and Edward Scissorhands.

Maria did great, beautiful skating. Lovely eyeliner and makeup—she should get extra points for that LOL.
