Found myself yelling at my TV yesterday during the nordic combine for the American guy...and I didn’t even know what that sport was

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

2 television cameras and at least three still photographers at the scene of the window smashing. Why aren’t any of the videographers or photographers being arrested for their involvement in this obviously staged act?

[My Favorite Headache]

First time ever we landed any kind of medal...was awesome as hell to watch.

Some are seen smiling.

Snowboard Cross

[Roccus]

TNX, Norm. To me it’s like short track speed skating on a tilted rink.....with bumps!

[Roccus]

TY

[Carl LaFong]

Any curling fatalities today?

[NormsRevenge]

They have some pretty good jumps and nasty turns setup , hopefully the snow will be good. They put on some exciting displays of ‘full-blown nuts’ on a snowboard .. definitely an on the edge event

[smokingfrog]

But many have complained that the barricade that protects the display makes it appear the cauldron is in jail, far removed from those who've come to admire it.

A minefield would work.

[Roccus]

Didn’t that feller with the wild, red hair lose a medal last Olympics by showboating near the end of the course and then getting passed?

[NormsRevenge]

that rings a bell.

the young kid behind ohno did the same in that speedskating final,, he still got the bronze but not by much.

You got to go ‘til the finish line.

[Drill Thrawl]

Mario Kart Wii.
